y Addison DeWitt<br />
Speaking<br />
of strippers ... former weeniewagger<br />
David Hernandez<br />
(and that’s with a capital “O”) on my<br />
“Icky Nasty Caca Poo-Poo List.” And<br />
that’s one list you don’t wanna be on,<br />
believe-you-me. Seems that the 2008<br />
American Idol reject is too big for his<br />
britches these days. I got a very chilly<br />
reception from la Hernandez after<br />
I offered him a friendly<br />
salutation at Phoenix<br />
Pride. Scant days<br />
later, his nose was<br />
up in the air once<br />
again when I<br />
saw him at the<br />
“Night for Life”<br />
event where<br />
he was touted<br />
as a “Singer,<br />
Songwriter, and<br />
Actor.” Actor? Huh?<br />
Starring in your high<br />
school production of The<br />
Fantasticks doesn’t count.<br />
After crooning in the banquet hall lobby<br />
to an audience of – count ‘em – four<br />
tweens at the fundraiser, the snooty<br />
songbird hightailed it out of the Biltmore<br />
and spent a raucous night on the<br />
town later where he was seen making<br />
out with a variety of local swains and<br />
desperadoes.<br />
From where I sit, it seems to me that<br />
someone who hopes to make it to the<br />
proverbial Big Time ought to be nice to<br />
people. He sure was a lot friendlier back<br />
in the good ol’ days when he sat naked<br />
on my accommodating lap at Dick’s<br />
– all for the price of a dollar and<br />
a salted peanut. And just for that I’m defriending<br />
you on Facebook and throwing<br />
away your Christmas CD. So there. I bet<br />
that never acts like that.<br />
So there. Big International Symbol for<br />
‘NO’ to David Hernandez. So there.<br />
Word on the street is that a fabulous<br />
new restaurant and bar for the glitterati,<br />
gadabouts and nabobs in town, slated<br />
to open near the heart of downtown and<br />
the Light Rail by someone near and<br />
dear to ION’s heart and a familiar (and<br />
very handsome) face on top of<br />
a bangin’ body that just won’t<br />
quit at Amsterdam. As of<br />
press time he’s keeping<br />
mum on the particulars,<br />
but I’m on the edge of my<br />
bidet with anticipation!<br />
We’ll know more by<br />
mid-month, I’m<br />
told.<br />
And this month’s<br />
Party Penguin of<br />
the Month is just<br />
too much to touch!<br />
I’m shocked and surprised he hasn’t<br />
been picked before. It’s as obvious as<br />
the Spanx on my ass! It’s none other<br />
than Jonathan James Berry! This<br />
gorgeous guy’s at every Splash Bash<br />
and at practically at every bar’s event.<br />
Sometimes he’s in boy drag. Once in<br />
a while he’s in mommy’s clothes. If<br />
you’re mommy dresses like Lady Gaga,<br />
that is. He’s a gender-bending blast<br />
and we love him! Or her. Depending.<br />
Congratulations!<br />
Invite Addison to your pool party this<br />
summer! Just don’t play your David<br />
Hernandez CDs, chew gum while you’re<br />
stripping or hold him underwater in the<br />
deep end.<br />
