| Transcript | RHODA BLABLITT One More Time Well, gang, Rhoda is back one more time!!! I received a phone message from T. G.'s dead pet monkey Concheeta the other day. It was basically undecipherable, but I managed to get something about that he had managed to move "up" in the world. But I believe it was really nothing more than the voice of the dead! And speaking of the dead, T. G. Pretender can go from worse to worst faster than anyone I have ever seen. It seems that his last "Mr. Right" didn't turn out to be too right, but his best friend did! Or at least he turned out to be Ms. Right. I don't think Houston was ready for the Bourbon Pub staff to hit the town last week for the Mr. Gay Texas Pageant. Pub owner Jerry Menefee and Dr. John Hancock made it in to judge the beefcake show, but it appeared half of the working staff made in in for a festive two day occassion. It seems that Ms. Menefee wasn't ready to quit partying at the Texas 2:00 a.m. curfew in the bars, and every bookstore in town was soon terrorized by the New Orleans mob! The only exception proved to be Dr. John, who very adeptly swept away some late night entertainment to his hotel. An interesting thing occurred to Tiffany Jones on his last visit to the Bayou City. It seems that Tiff and Misty Morn were attired in cutoffs and weren't allowed to go in at the Second Sun because of improper attire! Up Dallas way, it appears that the Bayou Landing is closed for good. It seems that the are some signs on the building that say No Tresspassing - Property of U. S. Government. The IRS does it again. And speaking of the IRS, Mary's in Houston seems to have had some trouble with the boys in coats and ties this past week as they cleaned out their cash registers and left a receipt for amount of purchase. Well, gang, till we meat again, Rhoda PEACOCK LOUNGE 220 Central Ave. Hot Springs, Ark. KING KONG IN N.Y. King Kong lie? dead at the entrance to the World ^Tradc Center, New York's tallest building. Thousands of New Yorkers mobbed the area as unpaid extras during the filming in lower Manhattan of the 16 million remake of the 1933 thriller which is sheduled for release in December of this year Lum&4.>tjctett, Montreal - Twenty-five year old Gilles Boucher has become an "instant celebrity" in the Olympic City as the Machismo Man, house model for Machismo, a Canadian mail-order menswear firm. The handsome French-Canadian Lumberjack and truck driver has become the gay world's answer to Madison Avenue's Marlboro Man. One of 12 brothers and sisters, Gilles Boucher left his hometown of Riviere-du-Loup (Wolf River - 300 miles east of Montreal) at the age of 19 for a stint of hunting and fishing in Quebec's bush country, but soon found himself drawn to the "Metropole" - Montreal. Discovered in a popular downtown watering-hole, Gilles was asked to model for a new menswear catalog. Public response was overwhelming as soon as the ads appeared. Cards and letters began to pour in with everything from marriage offers to requests for items of Gilles' personal clothing. Fans began to stop Gilles on the street, and his appearance in Montreal bars and discos was greeted by enthusiastic rounds of applause. A Machismo Man fan club, now being formed, will offer membership cards, photos, and word of his latest activities in a newsletter written by Gilles himself. The ads and catalog have provoked considerable media interest as well. Major Canadian and American publications, both straight and gay, are negotiating for feature stories of Gilles' rise to stardom, and one important U.S. magazine is considering a cover story. Gilles has just completed a feature film that was shot on location in Montreal during the Olympics. Plans are underway for him to record an album of love songs in French. Gilles' plans also include a personal- appearance tour in the late fall to meet his West Coast fans, followed by a three month European tour with England, France, Holland, Germany, Greece, and Israel on his itinerary. And what does young Gilles think of all this? "Cest la vie" shrugs Mr. Boucher. "I take life as it comes." (Courtesy Momentum Media) PpLITAN TY church COMMUT--.
