Clipping A Social Butterfly’s Wings

May 12, 2020 By Tony Leggio

Anthony Leggio at an October 2018 Event

Greetings from my humble abode that has also been my quarantine quarters for the past few weeks.  And, may I just say, screw this!   Seriously, some of my friends used to call me a social butterfly because I go out all the time.  I am not a butterfly, however; they are pretty and delicate and flitter about.  I am a social beast.  I love … [Read more...] about Clipping A Social Butterfly’s Wings

Hot Virtual Happenings

May 6, 2020 By Tony Leggio

Even though our city is on quarantine, the LGBT community has found a way to keep us entertained. New Orleans has been a city alive with a culture that can’t be locked behind a door.  Music, drag performances, and fundraisers are just a socially distant or cyber click away from you.  Hopefully, these hot virtual happenings (both locally and nationally) will give you lots of … [Read more...] about Hot Virtual Happenings

Party Down

April 1, 2020 By Tony Leggio

The title of my column seems less than fitting as of late.   With the crazy coronavirus pandemic and the ensuing panic that has occurred, it seems like a person needs to party more now than ever before.  But alas, they closed all the bars, restaurants, movies, literally everything, so what is a lonely social butterfly to do in these troubled times? But before … [Read more...] about Party Down

Party Down January 14, 2020

January 14, 2020 By Tony Leggio

Christmas, New Year’s and 12th Night have swirled together in a magical mixture of revelry, cocktails and glitter to make this one of the most special holidays.

Party Down December 31, 2019

December 31, 2019 By Tony Leggio

Merry Everything to all!  No matter what you celebrate, the Crescent City is definitely one of the most festive places to spend Christmas (or whatever celebration you choose).  The two weeks leading up to Christmas was like a marathon, but worth every bit of the late nights and early mornings.  This has been quite a year of highs and lows, but having this … [Read more...] about Party Down December 31, 2019

I love a holiday, any holiday! I celebrate them all.  But I especially love this time of the year that begins with Southern Decadence and ends with Christmas.  Who am I kidding, I celebrate year-round, any reason for a party.   The last two weeks have been a whirlwind from my Thanksgiving road trip with Mama Dawn to the crazy party scene in December, and it’s only the first … [Read more...] about Party Down December 17, 2019

Tony’s 2019 Thanksgiving Trip

December 17, 2019 By Tony Leggio

Every year for Thanksgiving, I take a road trip with my mother Dawn.  It started the year of Katrina, a tough one for my Mom, with my Dad passing away a few months before Katrina and then losing her house in the storm.  That Thanksgiving, she was so down, and that was never my Mom, so I decided to help her begin the holiday season right, and our road trip journey … [Read more...] about Tony’s 2019 Thanksgiving Trip
