Travels with Erika
Yes, Erika gets around. She
moves, she circulates, she doesn't
just hang at the Queen Mary. For
example, on the right, she is in
West Hollywood on Hallowe'en,
with friend Michelle as the cutest
spider you have ever seen. Erika
of course is in disguise as Tintin,
the boy detective - go figure. She
also moves about the country, as
the pictures below will attest.
November found
Erika in Chicago,
visiting the world
famous Baton
Show Lounge, to
catch the drag
show there. The
show was pretty
good and the girls
were spectacular
Next month (that's December, for the calendarically challenged), it was
Boston, where Jacques' is the local girls bar. It is just like the Queen
Mary, but a little smaller. The girls are pretty though. There I met Jon,
who runs the U R NotAlone website which has contacts for humdreds and
hundreds of girls.
AsiaSF is a restaurant/club where the attraction is that the
waitresses are asian queens. Periodically, throughout the
evening, they perform on the bar to the delight of the customers,
including moi. Since I was in conservative non-Erika mode, they
put me right where the girls shook their booties, thinking I would
be embarassed - ah, if they had only known!
Dragalicious is a
weekly feature in a
Long Beach dance
club called Fire
Island. When Leslie
(Goddess of Asia) and
Erika went there, the
crowd was small and
the girls didn't seem to
have their hearts in it.
But maybe we just
went on bad night.
The Mayfair Hotel, site of the
original Club Girl Talk (or is it Gurl
Talk?). This is a classy joint as you
can see from the lobby picture to the
right - no cut-offs and flip flops here
The Palms, site of the Monday night
version of Club Girl Talk, is a lezzie
bar usually, but Monday nights are
slow, so other "gurls" are welcome.
Nice place, but usually a little slow (it
IS monday night, after all)
El Calor (The Heat for all you
monoglots) is a Hispanic night club in
Anaheim. Wednesday nights are drag
nights. The place is like an old
fashioned night club and the music is
muy caliente (look it up)
Erika met her chat friends Jenny, Casey and Leslie
there. Can you tell that Jenny and Leslie are twins?
Just a few blocks from the glitz of Triangle Square, lies the
modest looking exterior of the Lion's Den. Nothing special
you think? Just look inside. It's the home to some of the
most alternative (but legal) fun you can have on this side of
Orange County. This mid-size club hosts ultra-artsy house
music nights, karaoke for a gay crowd and salsa nights
complete with drag shows. If you're just looking for an
average guy's night of pool, there are a couple of pool tables
available. But it's impossible to be an average Joe here.
What run-of-the-mill club hangs two mirrored disco balls
from the ceiling? - From an Internet review.
and (l-r), Leslie, Casey and Jenny were there
and here they are
again, and next time,
Erika will be there too
- promise
See Hoochie Night
(04/26/02)
for the gory details
Apart from being a pretty fine
hamburger joint, Hamburger
Mary's hosts a drag night once a
month - well it IS a gay
hamburger joint - try that at
Mickey D's and see where you get.

Upcoming will be Erika's review.
Don't miss it!
