And speaking of Florida, check out Johnathin Florida on the cover this week. Muy caliente! In addition to being a familiar (and quite pleasant) face behind the bar at both Hydrate and Sound-Bar, he also is a budding fashion designer. Why, he’s modeling some of his own duds on the cover. Stop in to Hydrate Fridays or Sound-Bar Sundays for more of his all-the-way pret-a-porter!

As I have said in this column before on at least one occasion, I’ve got a huge boner for the English language. Little did Gregory at Big Chicks know that he would pay me the ultimate compliment when he told me (unsolicited) he appreciated my perfect punctuation. Of course, now, I’m so self,consciou’s—I’m bound too screw up?

A happy b-day to Miss Nicole Evangelista at Annex III. Sorry I couldn’t make it, but my bathtub’s not going to clean itself. Just kidding, love. I’ll be there next year.

Check out Spotlight for graysong’s exclusive Rodeo wrap-up. You see what we editors go through to give you full coverage? I need a drink.

Oh yeah…
