Pinkie’s Place<br />
Hello all you<br />
FABULOUS people.<br />
Hello all you FABULOUS people out<br />
there! Welcome to June in the desert!<br />
I want to thank all of you for reading<br />
my column and thank Levvy and<br />
Juli so much for letting me have this<br />
column for so many years!<br />
I had the pleasure of sitting down<br />
with and talking with a new friend<br />
and drag sister. He is a new resident<br />
to Palm Springs, living here since<br />
January, so he is about to experience<br />
his first summer in the Desert. Let’s<br />
give a big shout out to Clay Schauer,<br />
also known as the newly crowned,<br />
“Queen of the Desert”, Champagne<br />
Showers. What an amazing person<br />
and an amazing talent and a welcome<br />
treasure to the Palm Springs<br />
community!<br />
As a guy, he loves<br />
to sing with a<br />
wonderful tenor<br />
voice. You can<br />
often find him<br />
singing at Streetbar.<br />
He has also just<br />
taken a job, with<br />
one of my favorite places, The Party Lab, in<br />
Palm Springs. He is also an amazing makeup<br />
artist. If you are in need of having your<br />
makeup done or learning technique’s please<br />
contact Clay: atcschauer1976@gmail.com<br />
, or you can call him at 515-330-5300. I am<br />
really looking forward to working with him.<br />
You can also look him up on Facebook just<br />
by searching for Champagne Showers and<br />
sending him a friend request.<br />

I am happy to report that George and Paris<br />
of Azul have offered me a new show called<br />

Magazine sent you!<br />
This show will be fun filled, with a little<br />
comedy, some group numbers, some solos;<br />
just a fabulous evening with friends. And I<br />
hear that Pinkie might be doing the “I Love<br />
Lucy” skit Vitameatavegamin. So come and<br />
check it out in wonderful downtown Palm<br />
Springs. The show will star Cherilyn, Melissa<br />
Stratman, Champagne Showers. And I will<br />
