Mimi's VIP is WORTH THE TIME AND MONEY!!!!

Last night the stars were out and Feathers had them! MiMi Imfust hosted the event of the year with such heavy hitters from RuPaul’s Drag Race. I arrived at Feathers to chat with Eddie, the manager. I wasn’t expecting what I saw. I walked upstairs to a VIP party hosted by MiMi and her special guest were JuJubee and Raven from RuPaul’s Drag Race. The girls were on fire and made everyone’s night! I have never seen so many people willing to pay $30.00 for a VIP party at Feathers, but they did and it was worth every penny. The upstairs was closed to the public from 9:00 to 10:30- VIP only. The stars posed and chatted with everyone at the party. They made every guest feel like a million dollars! I had a “Proud papa” face on the whole time while I watched everyone enjoying themselves. Raven stopped and posed with everyone as did Jujubee. Mimi, the hostess, was so wonderful making time to welcome everyone and making sure all had a good time. At 10:30 ish the upstairs was opened to all. At 11:30 the trio climbed onto the dance floor bar and surprised the crowd with an impromptu song and drove the crowd wild! When show time came the audience was ready to stamped and screamed for the ladies of the night! They owned the night and the crowd! It was wild to see. I could see why they were so popular on RuPaul; their performances were unforgettable!When Feathers workers are dancing with the performers you know you have a hit! It was GREAT to see Scott aka Veronica Conway and his posse there on his night off. Let's throw a shout out to John Banta and Chloe! Always great to see you out and having a great time! You guys bring the crowd to a new level! At the end of the night the VIP guest were given autograph photos of each performer. It made it a night to remember. Next week Mimi will have Latrice Royale and Manila Luzon and a Halloween party. There will be a $30.00 VIP party as well…It is SOOO worth it to pay. You get a private party with the performers, autographs and photo’s! It is a GREAT night! I hope to see you all there next Friday!

Principito Presents A HIT!

Principito Presents A HIT!!!! Feather’s is alive and it’s all thanks to new to the ideas of Principito, who is making his name known in a GREAT new way! Walking into Feathers on Saturday night was like walking into a new night club. The place looked different and the feeling was flowing with new blood and excitement. Principito’s PLUMES turned an ordinary night into an EXTRA ordinary night! The energy Principito brought ignited the whole place. He worked every nook and crannie and made everyone feel as though they were personally invited! He has such a dynamic aura and warmth. Not only was he greeting guest, but he was engaged in conversation all night- when he wasn’t lining up the talent. And WHAT TALENT! Divinity Banks, Tiffany Taina and Laura Martinez kept the audience glued to the dance and screaming for MORE! DJ John Rizzo kept them there with his continuing love affair with great music! This DJ is a one of a kind, no bullshit music DJ! He plays with his soul and pours his heart into every musical set! HE IS MUSIC! I could not leave the dance floor-and neither could anyone else! It was packed and everyone loved it! His dancers were like an ethnic rainbow of every beautiful color and body that you could imagine! The men entertained the crowd, but you didn’t feel like they were working you. They were flirty, and full of smiles- and soooooo HOTTTTT!!!! If people didn’t have a good time it was either because they are miserable people, or they weren’t there! Principito has casted a spell over Feather’s and I admit to be under his spell.

Antonio Cedeno Presents A SHOWSTOPPER!

ANTONIO CEDENO PRESENTS: A SHOW STOPPER! There is no such thing as an ordinary night when Antonio Cedeno’s name is attached to a party. What started out as a night of “nothing special” turned into an unforgettable evening! Everyone had on “Mister” Tee-shirts. MISTER is an app and website for adult men. Check it out at http://www.misterapp.com Unfortunately, when your name is Ed you avoid putting the word MR. before it. (Mr. Ed, the talking horse) Event host, the AMAZING and ever so CHARMING, Antonio Cendeno was at the door greeting all who entered- and MANY entered! The place was mobbed with people just having a GREAT time! The staff worked hard to keep up with the crowd, but always had smiles on their faces. Special APPLAUSE to DIEGO for creating the stylish cuts on my tee-shirt! Feathers staff goes so beyond the norm to keep customers happy. Scott was serving this girl water all night and she never tipped him, yet he kept serving her and genuinely smiling. The drink special was a VERY LARGE $10.00 Iced Tea Drink- IT WAS INSANE! I salute all you survived those drinks! It just added to the fun that Antonio was creating. The music was untouchable! Lady Tita kept the guest prisoners to the dance floor! My legs were crying to stop dancing, but the music was so good I just couldn’t leave the floor. She created a musical setting that has never been seen before at Feathers. Lights-Fog- Music-Drink! Excellent time! You know she had to have been feeling like a Goddess, because she ruled the night! There was a guest DJ, Obra Primitiva, who had his own style going on downstairs in the lounge. He had them dancing at the bar-and if the ceiling was higher, they would have been dancing ON the bar. Fingers crossed that they have him back again soon! Not only is his music smoking hot-so is he!!! Show time interrupted my love affair with the music, and like a scorned lover I was not happy. Antonio brought out his guest and I wanted so hard to hate her for stopping the music, but fell in love with her! Josephine Halle B- remember that name! She came out to Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” and then whipped out her trench coat and brought down the house with her rendition of RuPaul’s “WORK” and work she did! The crowd when crazy! If Feathers dance floor was going it fall apart- last night would have been the night it happened! They were stamping and jumping! It was GREAT to experience. I do not know how Antonio does it, but he brings such GREAT talent to his events! She was in charge of the contest and the winner received Two TKTS to “WICKED”….How cool is that! After the show Josephine graciously met fans in the lounge area and posed for pictures! What an incredible performer. There was also a tee-shirt, hat and gym bag give-a-ways by the dancers- MY FAVORITE-WILLIE was there! LOVE HIM!!! Before I close I want to give a shout out to Antonio’s friend Mikey . He is always at ALL of Antonio’s events and is always running around helping Antonio out. Also, a shout out to Principito! He had such a great event last week and nice to see him supporting Antonio and Feather! Well, tired from the night of dancing and chatting and FUN! Thanks again ANTONIO !!! P.S…I love that Feathers is taking the responsibility of AIDS testing and having vans in their parking lot. KUDOS!

Principito Presents Playhouse and Brings down the house!

PRINCIPITO brought DOWN the HOUSE with his PLAYHOUSE!

Last night Feathers was on fire and it was all thanks to Principito’s Playhouse! I knew from the moment I walked in the door that something caliente was on the horizon. There was some discussion about tee shirts and the fact that they said something implying the person wearing the shirt was HIV. I guess the message was to make the public aware that ANYONE can be affected with the disease. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE AND EVERYONE SHOULD ALWAYS PLAY SAFE! But, I don’t think the PR department ever visited a gay bar. Imagine all the facebook pictures if all the bartenders wore those shirts? Credit to Eddie, the manager, and Mikey, the waiter, who attempted to wear the shirt but they were over-whelmed with customers inquiring about their HIV status and even I could feel the scared stares they both received. Imagine the day people educate themselves before they judge others. TWO THUMBS UP to Principito and Dorian for including such an important health issue in a night of fun and fever! But with or with-out shirts the people flocked in. By 11:30 there was a line outside the club. This was my first experience with a club party hosted by Principito and I was quite impressed. The decorations were colorful and fun! Principito, himself, was so generous with his time and made every guest feel welcomed. Dorian (aka Harmonica Sunbeam) was co-host and worked feverously to supply entertainment to the crowd. It is a thankless job, unless you work in the business- keeping crowds and entertainers happy is not an easy task. SHOUT OUT to DORIAN who has been a staple at Feathers for many years and is very much appreciated. Tiffany Richards and Cyannie Famouz provided the drag entertainment and had the crowd screaming for more. It was PACKED! They worked the audience and kept the fever going! I have to be honest with you; it was so packed I could not even get close to the stage! That is impressive! There were the HOTTEST dancers I had ever seen on five different level dance boxes. The guest couldn’t get enough of them. Whatever flavor you are into there was a dancer to satisfy your hunger. They brought the steam to the hot sounds that DJ JOHN RIZZO was throwing out! Rizzo out did himself and the customers noticed. So many conversations I had with customers included how great the music and how each better was better than the one before. The dance floor was packed ALL NIGHT LONG! I had a great time hanging out with Scott, Eddie and Paul. They are always so much fun and add to the festive mood. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice Diego behind the bar until I was leaving. He is such a sweetie! He was working with downstairs Eddie, who my eyes always fall upon. Vinnie was packed all night working on the dance floor. He served with a smile all night long! They had an adorable shot boy, Patrick, who sold frozen drink specials all night. He was quite a hit and everyone wanted a pic with him! It was nice to be at a party that promised fun and delivered! Keep your eyes opened for the next Principito party and DON’T MISS IT!

HE'S BACK! Antonio Cedeno returns to Feathers!

So I joined MATCH.COM in hopes of finding my Mr. Right and all I have found is every psycho in the tri-state area! One 50 year old date showed up with his sister. I was surprised, but not alarmed until he mentioned that they do EVERYTHING together. Another date used his son’s picture and assured me that he could get his son to join in if he threatens him. Where do they come from and why does match.com think these are people of interest to me?! Every morning I get a suggestion list and I email all of them and try to be a pleasant person when I reject the rejects they send me. I am a health conscience 52 year old third grade school teacher looking for someone to share my life with. I look young for my age and why match.com thinks I want an overweight, paraplegic, bald headed man from the Bronx who collects cat tails is beyond me! I look in the mirror every morning thinking, “Am I THAT ugly?!” I mean, really? Last night’s date was insanely extra-ordinary! I was the psycho! We went to my favorite restaurant, Basilica’s on 9th in NYC for dinner. We were having a nice time and I was kinda thinking – this is it. We decided to go for a drink at a very New York traditional establishment: “Don’t Tell Mama’s” . While walking there I bumped into a foe from my past. I know I actually have a foe! The icy glare we shared told me that trouble was in the air and about to be released. “Back to pan-handling?” he snidely commented. I wasn’t quite sure what he meant, but I knew it wasn’t nice. I shot back, “I guess not all the trash was picked up off the street.” My date wasn’t quite comfortable with the exchange and I could feel this was going to be a date-breaker. I tried to ignore my foe which was pretty hard to do when he sneezed a wet one in my face. I pushed him away and he fell over a passerby. I reached out to help him up and he took me down with him. Real mature. That was about the extent of our battle. Neither one of us wanted to get our outfits ruined. When I looked up I realized my date was missing. Actually, I think I was him in POSH having a laugh with a hot looking guy – at MY expense. With a full belly (which makes me look like the overweight’s I try to avoid on match.com), and another failed attempt at finding Mr. Right I go to the place where I feel safe- no, not the county jail- Feathers. I got there early and was surprised to see all these FABULOUS decorations-kinda had a beachy feel. I went with it and found Eddie, the manager. I found out that Antonio Cedeno was back and hosting the SUMMER BEACH BLAST. It was a long time coming and the night was a complete success! No detail left unturned. From the moment you walked into Feathers last night it was like walking into an event, beach balls and fish tanks and excitement followed you throughout the evening. The GLAM SQUAD were there to hand out lei’s to all the guest. I have to say, in all my years at Feathers, and the gay life cycle I have never seen a more beautiful group of illusionist! They were breath taking! I hear they are representing Feathers at Asbury’s Sand Blast this year. GIVE A BIG SHOUT OUT TO THEM IF YOU GO! FABULOUS! The show consisted of Antonio bringing out the shows emcee, who encouraged guest to enter the wet swimsuit contest. Kiki Kinx was incredible as the evenings MC- HILARIOUS! She stepped onto the stage and took control of the evening. She gave a new meaning to camp as she spray gunned the wet swim suit contestants with her water gun! She shot at the contestant’s finest features which left many holding their crotches in pain- those water blasters can really hurt! To show how times have changed- the winner was a girl! Everyone had the best laugh and such a good time with the contest! Next the star entertainment was presented- Aiden Leslie! WOW! WOW! WOW! He kidnapped the audience the minute he stepped on the stage and kept them captivated the whole time! It has been a long time since I have seen a singer who could quite a Saturday night party crowd with their voice- Aiden Leslie did just that. His voice was only matched by his beautiful aura that casted a spell among all that were watching. His performance will stay with me a long time. I think he should give “THE GLEE PROJECT” a call. He could definitely give Darren Criss a run for his money. After the show the fun continued with the GLAM SQUAD taking over the dance floor and got the crowd involved. It wasn’t too hard a task because John Rizzo was setting the floor on FIRE. He put the SIZZLE in the night’s event! The dance floor was packed the whole night! The bartenders were smiling all night as they served drinks non-stop! Every bar, up and down, were two deep the whole night! Shots and frozen drinks were passed around and enjoyed by all. A SHOUT OUT to DJ David Gerlitzki for keeping the party going downstairs. Your talent did not go unnoticed! Also, A SHOUT OUT to Principito (aka Principito Presents) for his GREAT support and great events at Feathers! He has a smile that lights up a room and is his positive energy is so contagious! Keep an eye open for ANTONIO CEDENO PRESENTS next event at Feather- Hey Antonio- it’s nice to have you back where you belong! xoxoxo
