Dollcakes, what a Fourth of July weekend this has been! Thrown in the pokey on a DUI! These fireworks I could have lived without! I have to be honest: I had a little too much to drink at the party at PJs after what seemed a fabulous performance - audiences loved it!
Don, of course, bailed me out, but it's too much embarrassment and humiliation for a true Diva to endure! Never, never say that Diva Dona is a liar. No siree, I am brutally honest, to the core. My Sunday show was of course cancelled due to my absence - we did think about recording a song from my cell, but these Mass police are something else; hard to believe gay marriage passed in this Puritanical state. The merriment continues as we are en route to New Jersey for more fun stuff. Stay tuned!
As promised, below is my interview with my hot dancer, handsome male stripper Yanni Deep. Enjoy!
So Yanni, what's it like dancing behind moi, instead of your usual stripping gigs?
Dona, it's a pleasure doing anything behind you, in front of you, you name it, baby! You're the greatest! Oh, and thanks for believing in me!
You're welcome! You're so hot! Audiences love you! Now, stop avoiding answering my question. Everybody wants to know about male stripping and what it does or doesn't do for you.
I'm on a high when I strip. I mean...women or guys, as the case may be...pay good money to see me take off my clothes, and I don't dare disappoint them. I workout every day for 3 hours, watch my diet, and enjoy every minute of my time onstage. It's basically the same dancing in your show, except I'm in the background, I provide the color of the scene whereas you're the scene. I like ensemble work...it takes everyone to make something good, not just one, but if any one stands out, Dona Dearest, it's you.
I didn't give him that raise for nothing Such a sweet boy! Tell me about how you got into stripping.
You probably won't believe this, but I started my own dance act in the privacy of my own bedroom. I used to practice as a teenager. One night I got a call from a neighbor telling me to pull down my shades...that she could see right into my bedroom and what I was doing was driving her wild. She ended up being my first...woman, that is...I was only 15...and she got me into her husband's club dancing once a week.
So you started dancing for women, not men.
Yeah, and I've always found women more appreciative than men, especially with tipping. Men are cheap, but if you give 'em enuf, women will dish out plenty! Yippeee!
When did stripping in gay clubs begin for you?
In my late 20s, a big shot got me out of some drug problems, groomed me, made me a hustler, and the rest became history, so to speak. It's been men ever since. But, I gotta tell 'ya, I miss the women. And, in your show, the women are again playing a huge part in making me feel important. I mean, I can't believe women love your show. Actually more broads do than queens. They love your makeup and your costumes. Ha ha! So far I've gotten two offers of work from women attending your show.
Doing what? Stripping?
(in his best tough voice) Somethin' wrong with strippin'?
(laughs)
Didn't think I knew about Gypsy and Broadway, did ya'?
Oh you're full of surprises, Yanni...one right after the other!
As a matter of fact, this manager lady I met told me I should dance on Broadway...and I might take her up on that.
Honey, no offense, but I think you're a little too old for the chorus!
Chorus! What about the lead? You're never too old...you should know, Dona Dearest!
Smart cookie, that Yanni Deep, too smart for his own britches...and we will not get into where he got his name...it's too obscene for publication. Catch him in my show...while he's there! He may not be here much longer, if you catch my drift!!!
Enjoy the July heat!
