Fantasy Fest is a week-long party. There is a headdress ball, a pet masquerade, toga parties, plaid parties, green parties and more. There is body painting, and even body painting contests. Some of the body paint looks like clothes. Others, not so much. Throughout the week there are many interesting costumes […]
There is no shortage of bars in Key West: The ones that have live music; the ones that serve 70 ounces of brain-freeze-inducing drinks with cute names; the wine bars, which I may have mentioned once or twice; the ones with drag shows; and plenty of others. Last weekend, I […]

Over the weekend, we went to Tampa to visit some friends and celebrate her 40th birthday, or as she likes to put it: the first anniversary of her 39th birthday. Friday evening was at Sidebern’s, the “creative” restaurant owned by the same people as Bern’s, the steakhouse. The food was […]
Wine dinner does not adequately describe Saturday night. Yes, there was dinner. Yes, there was wine – and a lot of it. But mostly, there were good friends and a whole lot of laughs. Of course, it never hurts to have a vertical of Grange to keep things fun. Florida […]
