''I have short hair, I don't shed and I'm hypo-allergenic -- it's leather, not latex,'' he said off the cuff to the judges' intentionally farcical question. Dressed in full leather, with a bright-yellow tie, he was sure to call attention to what he said should be the first pup's first order of business. ''As my first duty, I'd piss on you, George W.

''There's a lot of excitement in the air -- of course it's because everyone knows it's our 25th anniversary,'' M.A.L. Promotions Chair Larry Barat joked at Friday night's opening press reception. ...more
Ziegfeld's, Secrets were displaced by baseball stadium
By LOU CHIBBARO JR, Washington Blade | Jan. 26 at 3:19 PM Jan. 26 at 3:19 PM
Ziegfeld’s and Secrets, the adjoining gay nightclubs that were displaced nearly three years ago by the Washington Nationals baseball stadium, are expected to reopen in February.

The new location on Half Street, S.W., is the former home to Pier 9, one of the city’s first large gay disco clubs that opened in the 1970s. Pier 9 closed in the 1980s and its building was occupied by a series of ...

Adams returned to work Monday
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) | Jan. 26 at 9:46 AM Jan. 26 at 9:46 AM
The mayor of Portland, Ore., said Sunday he would not resign despite calls for him to do so after he admitted he lied and asked a teenager to lie about their sexual relationship.
