Club for sale
We couldn’t get 100% confirmation on the identity of the club listed for sale on Craigslist, but it sounds an awful lot like a club that was at one-time known as Chiq Bar. According to the posting, the St. Petersburg club is about 15 minutes from the beach and even has a “private room” with a stage that seats 100. The “newly remodeled” club is on the market but two prices are listed in the ad. At the top of the page it says it’s been reduced to $330,000 and at the bottom it says the asking price is $230,000.One thing is for sure, though, the reason for the sale is that the owner recently got married and wants to start a family. If it is the club currently known as Nautico, we hope it remains an LGBT destination.
Happy Hooker eyes Tampa
According to our good friends Mark Bias and Carrie West of Dishing, Xaviera Hollander will be visiting the Chelsea Night Club on Friday, Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. The Amsterdam resident played the part of “The Happy Hooker” in the adult film classic Deep Throat. Hollander is now a writer and a television talk show host and is expected to sign copies of her books at Chelsea. The boys at Dishing also report that the diva could make an appearance at Hamburger Mary’s in Ybor City.
Oh the pageantry!
Speaking of divas—they were out in full force for two pageants held at The Honey Pot in Ybor City last month. The Miss Florida U.S. of A pageant and the Miss Florida U.S. of A. Classic brought out crowds to cheer on their favorites. The Miss Florida U.S. of A. tiara went to Amy Demilo and Danielle Hunter was crowned Miss Gay Florida U.S. of A Classic. Rumor has it that this year’s Florida State Fair, which runs through Valentine’s Day, will feature some female impersonator performances this year. Hopefully, Demilo and Hunter will make appearances.
