Darlings, T’is I, Sylvia Shapiro coming to you via our brand new website. Yes, not only will you be able to get the latest dish on whats going on in the community but, you will also be able to become a member of the Arts Project, become a VIP member and even order your theater seats to whatever show you want to see thru our website, its all too 21st century. Well, my dears, a new and exciting summer season is upon us and what a season its going to be. The Arts Project has come up with another novel and fun theme for this summer. Grab your canoe paddles, pitch your tent and put up the mosquito netting…we’re off to “Summer Camp”. Starting with our in-town party all the way to the end of season ball, its all about camp. Now I ask you, isn’t that a camp? I realize that many of you love to go to the meat rack to do some camping, but, this is not quite the same thing—or is it?
Strictly entre nous, what hot Cherry Grove leather man will soon be porn’s biggest (no pun intended) new star? Too X rated!! The new porn star’s name is Stone Fury (an alias if there ever was one) but, he is too divine and Shirley and I have known him (not in the biblical sense) for years and years.
There are many new and exciting shows scheduled including “GLAA” (Gay Glee). Too Clever!! Past favorites such as Ocean Aires XIII returns as well as, Legends IV “Camp C.A.M.P” Too Campy!! The Doctors Fund benefit show “Hubba Hubba Hubba, the 1940′s Revue” also returns…Too Rosie the Riveter!! Casino will be back in the Grove as well as, in the Pines…Too bi-coastal!!
Remember those fabulous Saturday teas? Well the Arts Project is bringing them back. Instead of being held at the local watering hole, various famous or infamous drag personalities will be opening their homes for these fun filled events. For an admission price of $20.00 (to benefit various community house projects to be announced) you get all the cocktails you can drink, some of our Cherry Grove personalities who have graciously consented to open their homes for these fun filled cocktail parties are those trailer park girls, Coco, Margo, Urban and Lola….Too trashy!!, The chic Shapiro Sisters…Too glamorous!!, and Beach Debree…Too sandy!! Admit it darlings, you just can’t wait to see the inside of these girls houses.
The community house has taken on the look of a summer camp lodge to add to the summer camp theme…Too rustic!! Keep in theme along with us by wearing our new cap and tee shirt with our Arts Project Summer Camp logo. Too Abercrombie & Fitch!! Also available is our fabulous canvas tote bag with your name, monogram or house name embroidered on it. Too L.L. Bean!! These totes are roomy enough for all your beach needs, your books and magazines, your pet and of course a wig and all your make-up. They are a special order and all our new merchandise is on our website store, so do check it out.
2010 Homecoming Queen Beach Debree crowned her lover Yaneeda Dune (could they be lesbians?) at our homecoming/membership party which was a rowdy evening of merry making. Lovely Arts Project President Coco Love introduce the hostesses, the ever witty Panzi and the ever glamorous Bella. My darling Shirley was first runner up, looking every inch a ravishing star. Other contestants were Robin Cradles, Ann Phetamine and in a campy appearance Harold Seely who went from sequin gown to leather, harness and jock….Too Jaw dropping!!!
Well darlings, that’s it for now. Shirley and I must dash off to Manalo Blahnik’s to get 2 pairs of high heeled hiking boots to add to our summer camp look.
Love, love, love….Sylvia Shapiro
P.S. No, my darlings your eyes did not deceive you at homecoming, that was indeed Rose Levine and myself waving and blowing kisses to each other across the room and posing for photographs together after 16 years….Too Hedda and Louella!!!
