You Just Can’t Make This Stuff Up!
Hum… Congressman Aaron Schock has resigned after a controversy over his Downton Abbey-themed office… Is there something else he would like to tell us? Flashback to the Republican National Convention in Tampa. LMAO!

The Tampa Pride VIP Sponsors’ Party
It was a very magical soirée! Everything was moved out of Hamburger Mary’s in Centro Ybor, and we do mean everything, including the booths. Michael and Frankie, along with a dozen volunteers, decorated Mary’s and turned it into a rainbow circus wonderland. There were inspiring speeches made by local community leaders. The entertainment was provided by the talented ladies of Mary’s. Of course there were cocktails and super tasty foods.
