Profiles & Spotlights

Bartender Spotlight

January 12, 2023 By Tony Leggio

I love when a new gay bar opens in the community, or technically an old new gay bar.  I went to an opening event at the Silver Fox (740 Burgundy St., formerly Rawhide) as they premiered their new craft cocktail menu and discovered my bartender spotlight there.  Fernando Rodriguez is a wonderful addition to the bartending scene in NOLA. Originally from Houston, … [Read more...] about Bartender Spotlight

Drag Queen Profile: Fatsy Cline

December 27, 2022 By Frank Perez

Drag Queen Profile: Fatsy Cline Where are you originally from? How did you end up in New Orleans? I fell from heaven and landed in southern Mississippi. Just kidding! I’m originally from Las Vegas but we moved to Mississippi when I was in the second grade so the South is all I've ever really known. Growing up, New Orleans was the big bad city an hour and a half away but I … [Read more...] about Drag Queen Profile: Fatsy Cline

Bartender Spotlight

November 11, 2022 By Tony Leggio

Being a bartender is hard work y’all. The general public is not easy to deal with and great bartenders manage to keep a pleasant demeanor, a smile on their face, and a positive attitude even through the busy times. I discovered this month’s Bartender Spotlight during one of those busy times – Southern Decadence. I met Spencer Smith at Couvant during a Southern Decadence event. … [Read more...] about Bartender Spotlight

Bartender Spotlight

September 16, 2022 By Tony Leggio

Lots of people like going to their favorite bars and while I believe that people do visit bars they like, I also think that an equal amount of people go to see their favorite bartenders.  A really good bartender can increase a bar’s business substantially. My newest Bartender Spotlight is on one of those star bartenders at The Phoenix.  Jeff Seaver is hospitality … [Read more...] about Bartender Spotlight

Drag Queen Profile: Passion Armani Cassadine

September 12, 2022 By Frank Perez

Where are you originally from?  I am very proud to say that I am a true New Orleanian from birth! How long have you been doing Drag? Well, I started on the original drag queen’s birthday (Halloween) in 1998. I did it on occasion for a while until I relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, in 2002. That’s where my career took flight. I did it more regularly and was in … [Read more...] about Drag Queen Profile: Passion Armani Cassadine

Bartender Spotlight

August 3, 2022 By Tony Leggio

The summertime may be slow for other businesses, but it seems that the bar industry is always busy.  There is no better place to escape the brutal heat of a New Orleans summer than relaxing in a bar drinking a cool beverage and chatting with fascinating people.  My bartender spotlight is the fabulous Andy Savage who can be found slinging drinks at Betty’s Bar & … [Read more...] about Bartender Spotlight

Drag Queen Profile: Tiffany Alexander

July 25, 2022 By Frank Perez

Where are you originally from?  How did you end up in New Orleans?  I grew up in Baton Rouge and started my career there.  I moved to New Orleans on April Fool’s Day 1996 for a job in the cosmetic industry.  When I came to New Orleans, I wanted to retire from drag and just be Mitch.  Obviously that didn’t go so well. How long have you been doing … [Read more...] about Drag Queen Profile: Tiffany Alexander

Drag Queen Profile: Gia GiaVanni

June 29, 2022 By Frank Perez

Where are you originally from? How did you end up in New Orleans? I was born in Metairie and lived in various cities across Louisiana until 1988 at the age of 13. I then moved to Texas, and lived there from 1988 until 2008.  In 2008 Hurricane Ike hit the Houston area where I was living and I ended up displaced as a result. I eventually moved back to Louisiana at the end … [Read more...] about Drag Queen Profile: Gia GiaVanni

Bartender Spotlight

June 27, 2022 By Tony Leggio

Bartenders have always been classified in my book as good people.  They are great listeners, fun, witty and, most of all, serve you cocktails.  They are everything I ever wanted in a person and they give me vodka.  My bartender for the month of May is just an all-around great guy.  He is festive, polite, professional, and a master mixologist.  I am speaking of none other than … [Read more...] about Bartender Spotlight

Drag Queen Profile: Natasha Sinclair

Where are you originally from? How did you end up in New Orleans? Metairie, LA.  Born & raised. How long have you been doing drag? Ummm 40 Years. How did you select your drag name? First name was from doing Boris & Natasha in the first Mardi Gras ball I was in.  Last name came from a drunk emcee of a fundraiser I was in. Did you have a drag … [Read more...] about Drag Queen Profile: Natasha Sinclair
