7" DOES Make a Difference!

Have you ever been a Playmate of the Month? Well, my tribe is the Family of the Month for the March issue of Georgia Family Magazine. I can only imagine what these Playboy centerfolds go through. It’s a strange sensation knowing that strangers are getting a peak into your personal space and judging you. I have to say it’s been a positive experience much in the way that the Girls Next Door feel towards Hef. I would have to say our “Hef” has been writer Angela Hall Weight who has confessed her desire to be a SoChilite!

Ok, here’s the situation, your co-worker desperately needs a makeover! How do you approach the situation? Well, my right arm Mary Brooke is a peach, a doll – but that hair will stop traffic…and not in a good way! So off to the Amanda Jane Salon she trotted. Stylist Mitch Kersey said, ”We all know Mary Brooke is a hot mess in her own right but when she came in, she gave the term a whole new meaning.” After some caramel & blonde highlights minus 7 inches in length, she went from Nappy to Snappy! And now, we’re all Happy! Thanks Mitch!

It’s First Friday in Macon, Georgia…what to do: dinner at the country club or drag with the Queens downtown? Nobody mixes a Grey Goose & Tonic quite like Val, but my kids chose the Drag Queens and we headed SoChi for First Friday. The art opening at Macon Arts Gallery was our starting point. Dinner at Acapulco Mexican Restaurant was a food fiesta. Try their Avocado Salad with Steak and Italian Dressing & the Raspberry Margarita.

With a full tank we headed down Cherry and ran into a queen in full drag regalia. “Dude looks like a Lady!” One by one they emerged: Tangerine Summers, Raveon, Deonna Sage & Asia - holding court curb-side as their royal subjects applauded and handed them not roses, but dollars. Famed Dragger Charlie Brown was in town for a special performance at Club Synergy. You club kids of the 80’s will remember “Ms” Brown from the late night Atlanta nightclub Backstreet. Don’t deny it….you’ve been there.

Bite of the week: The Seafood Nachos @ The Shamrock! Hey now, even SoChilites have to venture NoChi occasionally.

The economy sucks but we still must SoChilize! Keep your eye on the prize….This Too Shall Pass!
