| Darlings - I'm so glad to be back in touch. I have been so swamped over the summer covering the NASCAR races for my fabulously popular Gaytona.com, working to help the progressive and engaging Howard Dean save us from the miserable policies of Devil-Head Bush, traveling, and partying by the pool - that I've scarcely had time for anything else. Thank goodness the gardeners at Periwinkle are so conscientious. Aren't the grounds more beautiful than ever this year!
I am so anxious to tell you all the news, I'll just start right now. Please enjoy your stay at my Virtual Estate and make yourself totally at home. Love, Betty Jack Devine |
 I don't think the flowers have ever been so gorgeous

She's Back and She's BadDeAundra Peek is returning to the stage in a special live concert appearance with HAIRNET. It's been way too long since the teen sensation has made a personal appearance, but the quarantine has finally been lifted, and Nurse MacWorld informs me that DeAundra was never infected and is not contagious all. But her singing is, and I hope to see you with your loved ones at the show.Click Here for the press release and a map to the show. |
NOW SHOWING AT A THEATER NEAR YOUFirst I like to commend Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey, our Fabulous Pop Tarts and so much more, for the successful debut of their first major motion picture Party Monster. I'm sure by now you've read all about it; and, if you've seen it, I hope you'll let me know what you think. As for me, and putting it delicately, there's such an overabundance of "urination" in the film I must wait to watch it on DVD so I can skip through all of that. But I guess that was necessary to underscore the horrifying tragedies that ensued. Congratulations you cutie pies, and I bet you'll be up for some Oscars next year!To see the Club Kids in real life morphing into party monsters, click here for a special video exhibit on The Nelson Sullivan Channel |

Viva Las Vegas and hide your handsome sonsDelicious diva Joey Arias is riding the wave of adult entertainment out to Las Vegas. Having learned that family values don't pay off, casino hotel New York New York commissioned Cirque de Soleil to produce an erotic extravaganza Zumanity. The costumes are designed by Theirry Mugler and are the most expensive Cirque has ever done. In Zumanity, Joey is "the slut walking home at 8am from the trick's house with half of my lipstick missing." I wonder what he does after the show? Oh come on, I know you know. It's every boy in sight. |

When MAC decided to open its grand new store in Harlem, right across the street from the Apollo Theater, it was "word" for Integra as she transferred immediately out of our Atlanta MAC to join that staff and make it glow. She must be, for we've not heard a word from her since. If you're shopping at the Harlem Mac anytime soon, please shout out for Integra and give her a big player's hug from Betty Jack. |  Integra's Mac in Harlem |

SPEAKING OF DEAR BUN BUNI have heard so often, haven't you, that "Lady Bunny is such an ancient legend she should be preserved in a museum".Well, at last she is - at Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum in St. Augustine, Florida, in the Living Curiosities Section. Here's an actual picture to authenticate that. It includes Dixie's daughter Dixie Sue and was taken during one of Dixie's Home School Field Trips. |

ARGE, ARGE, ARGE Recently, I drove Dick Richards and myself in my Park Avenue to half way between Atlanta and Venice FL to meet ARGE at a Howard Johnson's near the Russell Stover Candy Outlet that he loves so much. I wish I could say ARGE is living like a woman now, but the reality is he just sometimes dresses that way because his other clothes are very dirty. There's a lovely all-you-care-to-eat buffet at that Howard Johnson's on Thursdays and Dick got us one of the Little Tar Baby Shortcakes it features as a speciality dessert. As you can see, Dick got more-than-a-little embarrassed when ARGE announced the dessert's arrival over the loudspeaker in his usual sarcastic way. Click here to view some of the other fabulous outfits ARGE wears in Florida. |

Dashing television producer Robbie Coddington traveled from Chicago to New York recently to premiere his new program of Nelson Sullvian's videos at the HOWL Festival in the East Village. The production is entitled Nelson Sullivan's Legends of New York and features a fascinating mix of characters from past Wigstocks and the Pyramid Club as well as images of the flavor of the Lower East Side during the 1980's. |

SOME GOOD NEWSI am pleased to inform that the hand chair seems to be doing fine . Having been put in so many stressful situations while in Atlanta during that conflamma before being rescued by The American Music Show, the hand chair is now being put in more pleasant situations to be recompensed. The hand chair seems quite pleased to have been put near the pool. It seems so happy there. |
CORRECTION AND AMPLIFICATIONIn my previous report I told you about Jayne County's sudden decision to retire from show business in order to return to Georgia to live on her parents' - Lord and Lady County's - country estate. Suddenly, that's all changed as Jayne has demurred to the pleas of her throngs of fans and is continuing her famously infamous career. In fact, she has a new album about to be released entitled So New York and that's a picture of the cover on the right. The photograph is by ewalt and that little bend in it happened during transit through the US Mail. |
