Chip Pons’ Winging It With You

The last Pride event I went to in June was a panel of authors at my favorite Connecticut bookstore, RJ Julia Booksellers. The panel consisted of Chip Pons and Marie Rutkoski and was hosted by Troix Jackson. They discussed their coming out stories and tropes their books contained, ones they might explore in the future…

Christie Brinkley’s Uptown Girl

Ok, full disclosure, I didn’t read Christie Brinkley’s new autobiography because I knew her from Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl” video (also the title of her autobiography) or for being one of the premiere supermodels of the world (sorry Rupaul, there were queens before you) but it helped, the main reason was the chance to get…

Wanting to support my fav bookstore and a gay author, I bought my $28.71 ticket for their Cody Rigsby photo-op event that came with a signed copy of his autobiography, “XOXO, Cody.” You know I love my autographed…

This month’s Pride Party is continuing on with the release of The Aces new album, I’ve Loved You For So Long. I had certain expectations when I first listened. I was prepared for some fun pop, like their previous albums, but what The Aces delivered this time is something more alt-rock and mature. To be…
