A Night Out With Andraé

I live in a city where anything is possible, yet I’m still amazed sometimes by the connections one can make without even knowing it. One week ago (literally last Tuesday evening), I made the acquaintance of a stunningly handsome gentleman from Austin, TX. We’ll call him TC and refer to him, this first and last time, as Naked Twister Guy.

And of course, who does TC know except for Andraé Gonzalo of Project Runway (Season 2).



After learning that said reality TV personality would be in town crashing with TC, I quickly accepted an invitation to have drinks with AG & TC at a TBD destination. Last night after work, KBH & I met up with AG & TC at none other than Phoenix on 13th street. The conversation was great and the bevvies kept flowing, of course until we decided to migrate to Eastern Bloc down the street. After deciphering whether or not the tank-top clad bartender played for the majority’s team or not (majority always wins), the three of us (excluding TC) partook in some old-fashioned pole dancing/twirling (much to the amazement of the other 2 patrons of this so-called "up-and-coming" East Village bar)!

All in all, the night was a success. Fun was had, laughs were abundant, and this morning there was a lingering odor of vodka and good times.

On a final note, be sure to tune into the new season of Project Runway tomorrow (Wednesday) night on Bravo. Know about it!
