From my memoir “The Gay Road Less Traveled” Please go buy a copy on Amazon!
“I texted him to tell him I didn’t really eat dog food, but that’s a crazy sentence to send to somebody. The worst part is that he was popular and had lots of friends in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, now they all think I eat dog food.”

Whenever I have the dogs on leash, I use Cricket to get some cute men’s attention. I say “Get em Cricket” and she runs her little fat butt up right next to the guy and matches him stride for stride. If the guy is gay he will stop and pet her and then I bust a move. She did really good with this guy, even touching him on his leg with her nose, but he just gave her a cold German look and kept walking. A fine-ass German look though #southbeachwelcomewagon #complimentaryoralwithpassport

Admittedly my club music knowledge isn’t what it once was, but I really like these 2 catchy cool tunes

I’ve always wanted to live in Manhattan, if only for a year, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. While I was not-legally-married to a man with money for a decade, it was more his than mine. I am a social worker by trade, so a cute little studio in the Village just ain’t happenin’, due to budgetary constraints…and I also have two hairy gremlins that depend on me. I have made the move to Miami though, and while it’s not New York, I still feel very Mary Tyler Moore-ish, getting my own little place, working in a big city, being independent…I’m gonna make it after all!

I’ve signed a 6-month lease on 10th St. in the heart of South Beach, 2 blocks from Lincoln and Collins and 3 blocks from the beach. The apartment is tiny (350 square feet) and the rent is half of my monthly slave wages, but it comes with a big built-in bookshelf and a pink bathtub (where I do most of my reading). I am excited! I have always wanted to be in the center of the action, and apart from New York, that’s Miami. Job:check. Apartment: check. Next up: Boyfriend.

Today I went to Art Basel Miami all alone and I did fine. I have seen Fort Lauderdale and found it lacking, so I am focusing my energy south. I stopped at the Aventura mall to buy a Domokun backpack oh and btw Tiesto was there, just signing some autographs for the people.
When I see a good movie or read a good book or really like a new song I get this buzz, a natural high, my brain and senses working together, making me happy. Seeing all of the great artwork and creativeness and culture and cute men, I felt that good ole buzz in my noggin. There were four Jean-Michel Basquiats! and lots more cool pieces and artists…plus, after I left the venue I kissed a sexy Italian man, with tongue…that’s how I roll.
