PVMINGO — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 08:49:02 +0000

On Tuesday, August 24, many of Vallarta’s gay bars sent representatives to Paco’s Ranch for SETAC’S ”Manager’s Show”. At this event, employees from each bar did numbers in drag to help raise money for the many programs at Vallarta’s GLBT community center. Participating from Frida’s this year was bartender Mario. He’s the tall one, dressed as Frida Kahlo, below. His performance was a show-stopper. Simply terrific. (note: Mario and his gang are professional dancers since childhood, can ya tell?)

Unfortunately, nothing worked out quite as it was supposed to – years later, Hedwig is leading her rock band on a tour of the U.S., telling her life story through a series of concerts at Bilgewater Inn seafood restaurants. Her tour dates coincide with those of arena-rock star Tommy Gnosis, a wide-eyed boy who once loved Hedwig… but then left with all her songs.
