Dancers Perform at the Broadway Bares 19 at Roseland Ballroom

There are two things that get me twisted:  a stuffed bear (I wasn’t allowed to have em as a kid, suck it!) and a man stripping for my amusement!

Now the latter - I can enjoy that anywhere.  My ass is far from shy, so if a man wants to drop trou – bring it on!  The former, however, is something I consider private…  You know like something to snuggle against while watching a horror flick.  (I’m single, dammit!  Don’t you judge me!)  And if it has a celebrity angle to it – well, I purrrr….

But leave it up to the good folks over at Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS to come up with a way to give you both!  Now thats what you call versatile.

As BCEFA gets well on their way to their annual Broadway Bears celebrity auction at BB Kings, and the more risque Broadway Bares strip-athon, set for June, I thought to do my civic duty and give y’all the heads up – or legs up (remember it’s all about versatility!) on their two dynamic star studded venues.  Click on the above links and feast bitches!
