Big Gold Phalluses will light your way... (Fagulous?)

Yes, Nurses...

I sadly depart NYC for Chicago this week, after 5 years of creating filthy, gorgeous art with Ginger and others, and also starving (which is how I keep my girlish figure, really). I will, of course, be looking out for some fagulousness there to report on, as the de facto midwest Nurse-on-the-Scene.

I will begin by pointing out that the part of Lakeview East that is primarily home to "the gay" in Chicago is called Boystown. Boystown underwent some major reconstruction in the late 90's (much like Rocco DiSpirito...did you notice how pretty he was on Top Chef...mmm, bet there's some bigass ear scars on that nurse, mkay). In planning for the beautification, the city thought that the best way to "celebrate" the "queers" would be to "erect" 11 pairs of art deco penises, adorned with rainbow rings (remember those!?).
So these giant gold penises, adorned with severely dated fashion accessories, mark where the gays are, and, apparently, would be really helpful if you needed to land a small plane on Halsted St.

So I'm off, y'all, but I'll be back periodically for the next two years, and probably more permanently after that. I'll miss you all, but we always have The Fagulous Blog.

Also, for anyone bored enough to want to check it out, I'll be blogging periodically from by Splurnberry in the Uhaul during my cross-half-the-country trek at driouxcipher.blogspot.com .

love and big sloppy kisses...

UPDATE: Rocco guest blogged for Padma (who is busy divorcing Salman Rushdie) this week and denied having work done. Said he lost 30 pounds getting ready for a triathlon. Would that it were...
