CHECKIN IN ON VETERAN'S DAY

Miss Vero has had a special request to give y'all an update on what's happening this week. So, if y'all are ready to keep up here's the rundown:

Tonight, Wednesday November 11th, an opening party for a new downtown restaurant, The Green House Cafe. Just across the street from the main post office, from 5:30 - 7:30. Check out this website IndianRiverCulture.com for more details. Actually just check out this website anyway, it's very clean and cool and we like that.

Thursday, November 12th, again from 5:30 - 7:30 at Ti Amo Sempre 1517 S. Ocean Drive,Vero Venture Networking (formerly Martini Network), bar-hopping with a purpose, no cover, no membership, no fees...Just Networking. We hear that last month's meeting was a success and we think this group may be fun, after all, we have to love an organization that gives a purpose to "bar-hopping".

Friday, November, 13th (FRIDAY THE 13TH!!??), oh well, not to be one who is superstitious, we are looking forward to the "Fest-of-Ale and Fine Cuisine" and the 6th annual Firefighter's Chili Cookoff, Saturday, November 14th, at Pointe West. Click here for all the details:

Also Saturday, November 14th, at Holman Stadium there's sumthin called the "Celebrity vs. Government" softball game. Details have been sketchy on this event, but it might be worth it to see a few ole boys, like Rhett Palmer and Mr. Joe Baird running around the bases or chasin' a foul ball. Here's what we know:http://everydreamhasaprice.com/

Now of course, y'all know Miss Vero saves the best for last. Saturday night, 7pm, if y'all would like to attend one of the most FABULOUS shows in all of Vero here's the scoop. There will be a special dinner and show with Miss Kelli Randell, Ruler of all Fabulocity and Drag Queen Extrodinare! And if y'all would like to get in on the fun, not to mention some amazing food, call this number, ask for Curt at Culinary Capers and tell him Miss Vero sent you. (772) 562-9194.

Go 'head call, we dare ya. Be real brave and ask to sit our table.

MWAH!

P. S. Hunnies, y'all know we got us a new camera. Comin' soon, pictures of all, some or maybe a few of the above events, depending on our alkeehaul intake and gin soaked brain remembering to bring along said camera.

MISS VERO'S BACK IN TOWN!

Well hunnies we are back! And just in time for the humidity festival y'all are havin'! Seriously, could it get any hotter? It is just miserable and we are swelterin' somethin' fierce. As we wandered around Corey's drugstore, trying to remember what in the heck we came for, we noticed the terrazzo floor under our feet and remembered our ole Grandmammies house with her terrazzo floors, jalousie windows and NO DANG AIR CONDITIONING! How did we ever manage kids? Somehow growin up in Florida was cooler then, don't ask us how.

We dragged ourselves out this past weekend to catch up on what y'all have been up to and we started out at Downtown Friday. Sure it was fun, but the heat and lack of martinis made us move toward another Downtown establishment with AC that has us so spoiled. We did manage to say hello to Commissioner and Mrs. Peter O'Bryan. As y'all know by now, Miss Vero just loves to see our elected officials, mingling with the constituents and out and about in town. We don't give a flying rat what y'all's net worth is, just get to know the folks y'all represent. In fact, why doesn't the city council set up a booth for everyone to visit with on these occasions? I'm sure a lot of folks would be happy to give a nice "howdy and here's how we think you're doin" to the politicians they elected.






Commissioner and Mrs. Peter O'Bryan







It was just too hot, so we ambled over to Cafe Mojo, where an even hotter jazz improv was happening at the open mic night. There's Billy Collins on the right, pretending to jump in and perform. He's quite a character. Billy and Caroline have really put together impressive crowds on Friday nights. They've created the perfect coffee house scene.



Of course the crowd at Undertow was just as hot and rockin and the beauty of that little downtown area is that y'all can buy art, have dinner, drinks and music, just by walkin' around the block!

Did we mention it was hot? This could be the reason - Jesse and Dolf Kahle were hanging out. Honestly, could those boys be any cuter? We don't what their Mama put in their milk, but it sure did work! Miss Vero needs to get these two on a calendar, perhaps we can convince Vero Polo to let us head the committee for fund raising next year and choose some calendar photos, there's an assignment we wouldn't mind at all!



Y'all would think that by midnight it would of cooled down just a bit, but no hunnies, it got hotter still! The kids started dancin' on the bar and the drinks were flowin', just a typical Friday night at the "Epicenter of Cool" - Undertow!





Now Saturday night we decided to check out the wine tasting and dinner party at Culinary Capers. That's right, something a little different. Miss Vero and gal pals found a little summer special that we'd wished we'd known about sooner. Along with Great Spirits, Culinary Capers puts on a little monthly special that is both affordable and delicious. For $32 each we had a four course meal paired with wines that were available for purchase - and they even had a case discount! Y'all know we loved that. The entrees were lamb chops and onion crusted grouper and we must say, our dinner was fabulous. We always love it when we are surprised by something in Vero that we should have known about. We checked out their website and it looks like they'll be having an Oktoberfest, but nothing scheduled for September. Perhaps with a few requests, we might persuade Curt, and his team at Culinary Capers, to let us come back.
Here's the links:

Now as much fun as we had at dinner, when we all piled into our luxury limo, we gasped when we realized it was only 9:45 and we had no plan for what was next. What was happening? What was still open? And most importantly, who would appreciate the fabulous ensembles we had painstakingly put together for our evening out? As always the answer is...DRAG QUEENS!

Yes, we would find Drag Queens and kids we are certain that by now y'all know (thanks to little ole Miss Vero) that this town is full of 'em! Our good pal, Fran Love was happy to see us walk into the Clubhouse Bar and Grill, just in time for the regular Saturday night Drag Show!

Isn't it amazing? the same mirrored disco ball above the taxpayers luncheon crowd, where Congressman Bill Posey spoke, does it's disco duty on Drag night! Texas holdem, sports bar, trivia, political luncheons and Drag Queens, all under one roof! Yee Haaa! All we can say is - THANKS FRAN!


Miss Alexi Leigh gives a girl a piece of her mind.




Y'all can check out all the goings on at the Clubhouse on their myspace page:
http://www.myspace.com/theclubhousebarandgrill

Don't forget on Tuesday night there's another show over at Cosmic Charlie's. Y'all know that "tavern" that 's being affected by the road construction, just south of McKee, in the plaza where y'all get a driver's license? Yeah, that place. Seems we read a little blurb somewhere about that. Funny, no mention of the "Cosmic Buns" party on Tuesday and certainly no mention of Kelli Randall, one of the most fabulous Drag Queens to ever appear in Vero. Hmmm. Now that's odd, that someone would go to all the trouble of writing something and not mentioning that, don't y'all think?




Speaking of directing traffic to a social networking site, a certain someone is sure obsessed about getting "fans" and countin' comments. Sure hope that certain someone didn't choose a tragic topic just to collect the coveted comment numbers. tsk, tsk.



Let's just say that Miss Vero enjoys social networking in a different way. If y'all want to be our "fan" go right ahead, we sure do love that, but we 'd prefer that y'all just let us know where the party is . Do y'all know about some fun that we're missing? "Fan" us, "friend" us, email us, just make sure we get the invite!

Well it sure is good to be back and doing what we do best, partyin' and poking at folks that need it. Lookin forward to hearin' from y'all soon, till then...


MWAH!
missvero@live.com

WE KNOW Y'ALL ARE MISSIN US...

Miss Vero knows that y'all are just swelterin and cranky since we up and left, but just be patient hunnies, we promise that y'all will see the method to our madness soon enough.

So for now, let Miss Vero make it up to y'all by extendin a little party invitation -

Everyone has been calling, emailin and just absolutely buzzin, all about this particular get together, so we just had to let everyone else in on it.

Now, y'all can click on the picture below to see or, Miss Vero can just say that next Sunday night (Memorial Day weekend), at the HOV club, formerly known as Tonic, formerly known as Bombay Louie's, there is going to be a fabulous soiree with many surprises and perhaps a famous face or two. Doors open at 8pm, tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door and there is a VIP section that will certainly entice Miss Vero! Please email the gorgeous, Mr. Chris for all the juicy details and do it quick because we'd hate for y'all to miss out on the fun: fwent2009@hotmail.com
And yes, it's a gay sort of party, but what got our attention, was all of the straight folk who called us about it. There's going to be all manner of entertainment and people, but the bottom line is fabulous fun, so who can resist?

Also this weekend don't forget the Riverfront Music Festival in Sebastian at Earl's:

http://www.earlshideaway.com/index.html

Bikers and Boys for a patriotic weekend? Well, why not we say. Miss Vero is just as comfortable at Earl's as we are at a Drag show, as we are at a gathering of local politicians, conservatives or the aforementioned straight folk.




Yes, and speaking of "straight folk"...

Let Miss Vero be the first to extend our sympathy to Mr. Joe Baird.
First of all, we have never met this man, so let's just say that. And second...well, there but for the grace of the Po-Po go I, if y'all know what we mean. It doesn't take much for anyone to get into this unfortunate situation, that is why we are always careful to take the necessary precautions.

That being said, let's cut through all the hateful comments on the TCPalm site and ask the real question - "Who's the Big Bubba?"

Do y'all think that he was "randomly stopped"? We don't think so, call us suspicious, but we think he was set up. Just sayin...

And if we're right, then the big question remains, "Who's the Big Bubba?"


Hey! It's 3am, there's no way we're going to be awake when our friend Charlie Wilson sits around with Rhett Palmer tomorrow morning, on that crazy thing they call a radio show. We've decided that ole Charlie is fun to pal around with on occasion, we even helped him with his own blog:
THE INDIAN RIVER REPORT Click on this!
He posts every Sunday and since the page format is similar to ours, Charlie was recently accused of being Miss Vero. Well, we all did have quite a laugh about that. The fact is "blogger" only has so many formats and this particular one is popular, not that we need to explain, but we just did.




Take care of yourselves, we'll be seein y'all real soon,

MWAH!

THE CONTINUING SAGA OF VIVIENE VON VOOT AND THE VERO DATING SCENE!

Our poor little Viv has surfaced! And after a long talk with Miss Vero, telling many tales of woe in the Vero dating world, she is beginning to get jaded. So, exactly what is it that would drive a girl to smoke, drink and munch out on Mickey D's at 3am?







Could it be the lack of available fun, young, guys (who don't mind a little smokin, drinkin and partying), that can still carry on a conversation and act like a gentleman? Why is this so difficult Viv wonders, why can't they just balance it all out like she does?

Let's see, there was the blind date who was older than her daddy, the young future politician who liked fart jokes, the overweight average boy who was completely selfish and wouldn't share his fries and the seemingly perfect date who was too good to be true (he passed out after three beers), and this was in the last two weeks!

And we didn't even mention the time we were at the Drag Queen show and Viv asked, "is he gay?", about every guy there. Miss Vero got so tired of answering, yes, yup, uh huh, yeah that one too, that finally we pointed out that everyone in the room was gay (even Miss Vero, who is truly gay in our heart), that we shouted "Viv Hunney, yes, everyone here is gay but you!" Well y'all gotta give the girl credit for lookin just about everywhere for the right guy.

Oh, this reminds us to tell y'all that Club House has moved the party to Saturday nights, click on the pic to get all the info;

So Viv, keep tryin hunney, but we don't think you're gonna have any luck at Club House tonight. But y'all never know.

We happily provide this evening's update for those of y'all that are not attending the Citrus Baron and Cattleman's Ball, that used to be fun when it first started but now is just another boring fundraiser, so much so, that we gladly send a check not to attend.

MWAH!

missvero@live.com

MISS VERO HAS A STIMULUS PACKAGE FOR Y'ALL...

MEET MISS VERO TONIGHT! BUT FIRST...

Well as usual, Miss Vero was out carryin on and cavortin last night - and the night before that. We couldn't have been in two more different places if we'd tried, but hunnies we always do try. Let us explain; Tuesday night we had such a fabulous time at a little ole place called "Cosmic Charlies", which is located in what we like to call, the swale strip mall just south of McKee on US 1 where that creepy pyramid arcade place is near the DMV.

Beer and wine, rednecks and Drag Queens. Ah huh, that's right. Cause y'all know if there's a Drag Queen anywhere within 50 miles of Vero Beach, Miss Vero will find her. But this wasn't just any ole drag Queen, this was the fabulous Miss Kelli Randell, the "First Lady of St. Lucie"!

And there was a cute young Drag Queen and Drag King in the house! (A boy being a girl and a girl being a boy, for those of y'all askin).
And then the owner, a real fun guy named Randy, got dressed up in a Jimi Hendrix costume and the Redneck boys got on stage and took off their shirts and every one had a high-larious time, even the old folks at the bar who were being served by our fabulous sober friend Chris and had no idea that it was Pride night, not to mention the straight laced conservative lawyer, we brought along for fun, who joined in the party!

And this was a typical Tuesday for Miss Vero.

At one point Miss Kelli Randell shouted out that there was a celebrity in the house and it was Miss Vero! Everyone applauded and then one of our more concerned friends asked "Aren't you afraid of being outed in public?"

Miss Vero reassured our concerned friend that none of the County Commissioners or any PJ reporters were in the bar as far as we knew and if they were, they'd have a whole lot more to be worried about than little ole Miss Vero!

Last night was a bit different. We were at the fabulous (second) home right smack on the beach, of one of those international jet setting type couples, where the festivities were a little more subdued and we had a conversation with one of our dearest friends, who told Miss Vero that she personally knew of some one who had lost a hundred million dollars in the Bernie Madoff scandal! A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS!

Yes, a much different crowd indeed.

Never the less, just as fun. At some point in the evening a few older beachie women were having a conversation, which Miss Vero happened to overhear and they were saying that they heard there was a Drag Queen show somewhere in Vero every week. Honestly we 're not makin' this up. Of course we directed these ladies to our web site for all the info, as we felt it was our responsibility, since they were wonderin' and all.

And we also ran into one of those verobeach32963 writers, who we liked very much and even more so when they promised that they would keep Miss Vero's identity a guarded and valuable secret!

So what did y'all do on your Tuesday and Wednesday nights?

And what are y'all doin tonight, have any plans yet?

Since we got up this morning at the crack of noon and are feelin particularly generous, Miss Vero would like to invite y'all to spend some time with us in a "Live Blogging" session this evening!

So here's how it works; At 10 pm tonight, we will be online to answer any and all questions and talk about whatever y'all like. We will be in the comment section of this post and we will address each and every comment, until we get bored.

As y'all know Miss Vero has a variety of interests besides the obvious (Drag Queens). We are very interested in local politics, cause as the ole sayin goes - "Even if you're not interested in politics, politics is interested in you."

We love Florida history and quirky Florida writers and artists. We are a member of the Museum of Art and a subscriber to Riverside Theater. We are concerned about our natural environment and support the Audubon Society and Pelican Island. We worry about our manatees and dolphins and the health of the Indian River Lagoon.

We are so liberal that if y'all call us a Democrat we are insulted, yet we love conservative Republican men, especially when they let us loosen their tie and make them squirm, which they always let us do.

We are terrible about answering our emails, although we do read them all. But the shear volume just overwhelms our Alkeehaul soaked head! It doesn't mean we don't love y'all hunnies, we do! We do! And Miss Vero sincerely hopes that this might make it up to y'all in some small way.

But most of all - Miss Vero is one who does not take life too serious and wishes that more people would just get over their silly selves.

So what do say, will y'all mix yourselves a libation and join us this evening?

MWAH!

missvero@live.com

Oh! And maybe if we're lucky LDouglas, Max Newport and Viv Vanvoot will join us!

MAX ON MONDAY!

Ah yes, who can forget Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani in drag? Or the welcoming committee that greeted him during his campaign in Vero?

http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2008/01/play_something_with_italian_fl.html


Now we ask y'all, which Rudy would you like to spend an evening with? Drag Queen Rudy or rabid Republican candidate Rudy? See it's really simple isn't it? Y'all know Drag Queen Rudy would be a heck of a lot more fun.

Unlike last week, Miss Vero has seriously pondered Max's Article today and we're ready to answer his question, as to why Miss Vero is so fascinated with Drag Queens. The answer is a two parter - #1 We've never had a bad time in the presence of Drag Queens. Never. And #2. - We love the courage that one must put forward to be themselves in spite of society, conformity and social pressure, to transform and transcend, to be who one truly is, in spite of it all.





LA CAGE AUX WTF?
Max Newport

Well, I’m not dumb but I can’t understand my dear Miss Vero’s fascination with grown men dressing up to look like women, but then again there are quite a few things I don’t understand including the limited use of the kazoo in modern music. But that is a thought for another day. Today I want to focus on this transgender thing. Dressing like a woman is just another item on a long list of things that I don’t plan to do. Not that I really have anything against it. It just ain’t my cup of tea. As Bob Dylan once said . . . “Now, I'm liberal, but to a degree. I want everybody to be free. But if you think that I'll vote for Obama, put on makeup and dress like my daughter, you must think I'm crazy! I wouldn't do it for all the farms in Cuba." Okay, Dylan didn’t really say that, at least in those words.

It is safe to assume that I have never been to a drag queen show, but I did see “Hairspray” on Broadway where Harvey Fierstein played Edna Turnblad, a role later played by John Travolta in the film. John Waters wrote the part in his original 1988 movie for his buddy Divine, so I guess tradition dictates that a man play the role of Edna. What I couldn’t figure from the stage production is how did the lead character, Tracy Turnblad, continue to stay fat? She did the show eight times a week and danced like mad through the whole show. They must have been force feeding her Twinkies between shows. She left a lot of calories on that stage.

On a bet from my brother, Biff, I bought two tickets to see Miss Dixie Longate’s Tupperware Party at the King Center in Melbourne a few months ago.
http://www.dixielongate.com/home.html

Mrs. Newport was also pushing for us to go. She developed a headache the day of the show, so I took an old friend who used to work with me. I doubt if she will ever speak to me again.

Well that about does for my spending my hard earned cash to see a man dressed like a woman, but I do have a legitimate curiosity toward those who choose this as a lifestyle.

One of my closest friends from childhood and early adulthood somehow had a revelation in mid-life that he was a woman trapped in a man’s body. He is now Virginia and I have not seen his new personage and we communicate still by email since he lives in New Mexico. I am going to keep using the pronoun “he”, not out of disrespect but out of ignorance and confusion as to how to address a man who lives life as a woman.

When Virginia made this profound discovery and revealed it to me, it was kind of a shocker. We literally grew up together, roommates in college, chased women and generally raised hell for a good portion of our youth. Our thoughts never drifted toward dressing like women, most of our efforts were geared toward undressing as many women as possible. So what made a red-blooded all American male decide he was a female? I think it would require a degree of courage to get out of bed one morning and decide to wear women’s clothes to work. I think he was ultimately fired from the job that he had held for many years. I do know what would happen if I donned a dress and went to work. I would be outta there before my high heeled butt made it to my office chair.
Now I still consider Virginia a friend and I really have tried to understand what would turn him in that direction. I haven’t gotten a clear answer because I don’t think there is one. In an effort to expand my horizons in this area, I watched the movies “Transamerica” and “Normal”. I also watched a few episodes of the IFC show “Transgeneration”. I still don’t get it. We still correspond by email and I think Virginia may visit the Beach House on occasion. I haven’t asked him how far he has taken this transition and maybe I just don’t want to know. He has told me that he is now a lesbian, which led me to ask the yet unanswered question; why go to all of that trouble to change your sexual appearance if you continue to have the same sexual preference? I haven’t received an answer because maybe there isn’t one.

Virginia has started a blog if you want to know more about my old friend. When I read this stuff, it is hard to imagine that this is the same person I spent so much time with growing up. We definitely had everything in common for many years, but now it seems we have very little. We have truly gone in different if not opposite directions.
http://virginiastephenson.com/

This whole fascination of dressing like the opposite sex continues to be a mystery to me. Can someone explain the attraction? I seem to be missing something.

Okay. I have lied. When I was nine or ten years old, I had outgrown my clown suit that I always wore for Halloween. I wanted to wear my Cub Scout uniform but my mother decided to dress me up in some of her old clothes and let my sister wear the clown outfit. So for three or four hours, I was dressed in women’s clothes.

Trick or treat?




A big MWAH! to Miss Virginia and welcome to the Beach House hunney!
And thank you Max, as always y'all are a gentleman and a good friend, don't worry too much about it sugah, just continue to be yourself, that's the whole point isn't it?

Oh! And we can't wait till Miss Dixie comes back to town, she'll be in Stuart in April! Road Trip!


MWAH!

VERO GIRLS GONE WILD!

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Click on the images for all the fabulous details!

Miss Vero does not know what in the H. E. double toothpicks is in the water and hunnies we just don't care, because finally, finally, Drag Queens have invaded Vero Beach!!!! Hush up y'all, it coulda been zombies or Republican refugees or something bad, but no! This is fantastic news! We though OK, we'll go to the old Atlantic Grill or the Club House or whatever it is they're callin it these days. We'll check it out and we didn't expect much frankly, because the last few of these soirees we have attended in town were not that populated.

But something has changed. Dramatically. And for the better. I can't help but thinkin, that after the election, all the down trodden children, that have lived in fear so long, finally felt that they could come out of hidin and sing that ole spiritual loud and proud - "We're here, we're queer, get used to it!"

Miss Vero ran into so many loyal and fabulous Beach House readers. as our dear friend Muse of the World (who was in attendance, of course) would say - What Fun!

What a turn out! (so to speak), but that's not all. There's more? Yes! Last night we watched the most fabulous thing on TV ever - a Drag Queen version of "Project Runway" hosted by RuPaul on LOGO! http://www.logoonline.com/shows/dyn/rupauls_drag_race/videos.jhtml

There's more, more! Drag festivities at a place called Cosmic Charlies tonight! Somebody pinch Miss Vero, for we fear we have fallen into a Drag Queen twilight zone and we're higher than if we had smoked a Newport (or that thing that Max mentioned yesterday)! And the best part is, it's all legal hunnies, pure fun and perfectly legal! How often does that happen?

LOOK OUT! NIGHT OF THE LIVING LIBERALS!!

What famous NPR legal affairs correspondent, who spoke in Vero this past weekend (OK, it was Nina Totenberg) was having cocktails at the Costa D' Este with a former Vero politician, Saturday night? (That's the part y'all have to guess) Hmm?

Ok, so here's Miss Vero's plan for a little local economic stimulus. Let the Liberals have a go at this town, open some night spots, let downtown Vero become a place with art galleries, restaurants and things to do at night! Have y'all noticed it's happening anyway?

While most of our dear friends are busy with boring beachie fundraisers, we've been busy stimulatin the Downtown economy and supportin the avant guard arts. With all the fun happening, we haven't even had time to read the newspaper, but we did see that an innocent child has bore the consequences of talking to Mr. Lemmon. Did he even consider that the child's moma might have recognised him as in "Don't talk to THAT man"?

http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2009/feb/09/russ-lemmon-todays-society-reflected-two-sad-incid/?feedback=1#comments

Sorry (not really), but the idea of a post with Drag Queens and Russ Lemmon in the tagline just amuses us.

MWAH!

missvero@live.com

JUST THIS ONCE...

Now y'all know that Miss Vero never posts on the weekend, but if y'all want to have some crazy fun, get your cute behinds in motion and check out the scene at the Long Branch on Sunday nights. Click on the picture above for details. What can we say? We just love these guys, uh gals, uh guys - we just love 'em!

MWAH!

DRAG QUEENS INVADE VERO!

Yipeeeeee! oohh, that hurt. Miss Vero's head is still poundin from last night's party, children. Were there drag queens in Vero last night? Yes. Was Miss Vero in attendance? Do y'all really have to ask that? Miss Vero has stumbled upon the greatest little group in Indian River County called "People Like Us" here's the info:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=381676972

Finally, some fun in town! And get this- it's happening at the Long Branch! DJ Silvio is the hippest little cat around and what a sweetheart too! The Queens are well, fabulous as only drag queens can be. But the truly great part was the mix of people. There were some hard drinkin Long Branch locals, hard core lez-b-anns, a group of grannies (trying so hard, bless their hearts, to stay up late to see the show) and young straight couples. Everybody just gettin along together and havin a good ole time. See? Even churches in Vero can't do that!
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/services/newspaper/printedition/tuesday/localandstate/orl-churchsplit0608may06,0,1387395.story

The party is connected to PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays),
http://www.verobeachpflag.org/
which is a great organization in town doing great things. The Hometown News did a very good profile of the Brevard County chapter.
http://www.myhometownnews.net/index.php?id=27840

Maybe, the Press Journal could pick up this story, or is that too much to ask? Miss Vero thinks it's news worthy because according to their blog, this group is processing applications and permits for a Pride Festival in Indian River County. Proceeds would go to PFLAG, IRC Sheriffs Dept., Vero and Sebastian Police Departments and a homeless organization. Sounds like they're queer and here to Miss Vero.

So now Miss Vero proposes a challenge to the local media- Cover this story! And all of y'all that call yourselves Christians out there, let's see how tolerant and Christian like y'all can really be. What would Jesus do? Hunney, he'd be holding that pride banner up high and marching down the street with these children and we should be too!

Peace, love and happiness and a big shout out to our new friends PLU!
And everybody - catch the show again, next Sunday night 10pm at the Long Branch.

MWAH!
