Hot Flash - Portland, July 23rd 2011


Portland loves to heat it up! DJ Wildfire set two hundred hot Ladies aflame to get down and flirty on the dance floor at July Hot Flash. Lighting up the night was a host of regulars and newcomers shakin', sizzlin', and settin' the house afire! Groovin' go-goes and the friendly faces of Hot Flash greeted the hawt and happy crowd gathered for the monthly meltdown of dolls, dames, dandies, dudettes and divas. The merciless mercury, hovering around 85 degrees, just fed fuel to the fiery Inferno of gyrating grrls and bodacious bois.

Following the dance, a host of Hot Flashers strolled down the street to take part in the Oregon State Gay Pride Organization's "We Are Not Afraid" March. The public protest had been quickly organized to draw attention to recent Hate Crimes taking the blush off the City of Roses quicker than a sudden hailstorm in June. Hot Flash Owner, Pauline Miriam, told news crews that the Event was a reminder of her own heyday of social activism with grassroots groups; then encouraged us all to join together to bring about the necessary changes that must be made to create public safety and equal rights for all. The Hot Flash party joined demonstrators marching the downtown core, shouting out, "We're Here. We're Queer! We won't live in fear!" Just a few hours later, and so underlining the deep need for timely Activism, yet another Hate Crime was committed against a couple walking arm-in-arm through Lovejoy Park in Downtown Portland.

Anyone attending a Hot Flash dance anywhere in America knows no fear... we love you here! See you all in August, Bebes... where we chance to dance, and prance... and show we love romance!

Hot Flash - Seattle Oil Wrestling


Once again, I had the good fortune to go to North for Hot Flash and I’m so very glad I did! The Seattle crowd is not only friendly and welcoming, but pretty darn sexy as well! Lady Jane DJ kept the girls moving on the floor at Neighbours and Pauline raised the fun meter a notch by bringing oil wrestling to Neighbours Underground for some slippery when wet (oiled?) fun! I have to tip my hat to the wrestlers who were not only great sports, but totally threw down! 

Hot Flash - Seattle Pride 2011


 I was fortunate enough to start my Pride in PDX, celebrate my birthday mid-week, and join the party for Seattle Pride. What can one say about a job where my duty is to navigate a crowd of 1400 women at three simultaneous (that’s right, I said THREE! Get out!) Hot Flash Dances? Ummmm… THANKS! If you were there, you know this was an epic party! I was on the door for the opening shift and the line of women was ridiculous! Pride was on full force with wall-to-wall women!

When I reflect on what a whirlwind of activity I had going on just for myself, I’m not certain how Pauline and Joyce did it; I think there is some sort of magic or teleportation device involved. You see, after a party of grand proportion for PDX Pride they kicked it into high gear for INFERNO @ Eden in San Francisco, turned around next day and were present for a juggernaut of a production of Hot Flash Seattle Pride, which resulted in a sea of women who heated up Capitol Hill that night. Having experienced it, I can say it is worth the trip to hit this party! I’m definitely going to be at the next one, and personally give thanks to the two who bust their butts so the rest of us dance our night away and get our party on.

Hot Flash - Portland Pride 2011

PRIDE HOT FLASH in Portland! : OFF THE CHAIN! Open to the entire LGBT community, 1100 women showed up and got their PRIDE the eff ON! DJs D-ZEL and WILDFIRE kept the party going so everyone was able to heat up the floor with their moves! Got a Hot Flash story or memory from Pride 2011 that you want to share? Send it in!

Hot Flash - Memorial Day Weekend 2011

HOT FLASH! The dance itself was stupid outrageous from the numbers alone, nearly 400 women rocked Barracuda, and the Lezberados were on hand to amp it up a notch. DJ WILDFIRE had the dance floor packed and groovin' all night and the women were steamy hot! 



THE LEZBERADOS packed Aura in and didn’t hold back! It takes a special sort to take reality and twist it into something that will result in laughter and that is exactly what Sandra Valls and Mimi Gonzalez did. I will not bore with a total deconstruction of their work, but I will say that they both create and convey culturally literate unadulterated comedy!  These two turbo charged lesbian Latinas are not-so-subtle societal critics who stretch familiar cultural norms via expeditious audacity to elicit merriment. Everyday vernacular: comedians who made us laugh and think about the important stuff afterward.  I seriously hope both come back to PDX and that Pauline brings more comedy in!
