duBarry is the only Countess in our Royal Circle who lives in an actual castle. Here she is in the window of her Royal Turret. All she needs is a 30 foot braid to dangle and maybe a passing Prince will climb up and rescue her from a life of drudgery.





The Countess duBarry gave a cocktail party in honor of his special guest, Mimi Hines, the legendary star of the Broadway stage and such television shows as Ed Sullivan and Jack Paar. Mimi and her partner, Phil Ford, were always on television in the early days. People like Tony Bennett, Red Skelton, Frank Sinatra, Barry Manilow have been fortunate to call themselves her friend....and so is the Countess duBarry.

Like all of duBarry's parties, the guests were interesting and handsome, the food was delicious, and there was just too much fun to be enjoyed.

Jon and Jason are the "hottest gay couple in Newport" according to Jason. They are engaged to be married on October 4th, 2008. Congratulations!!

Stephen, who played the piano for the Dreamgirls Cabaret that I posted about last April, wants me to tell Bennett that "he wants to see you again". He must want to hear you sing again!!

Stephen, the fabulous piano player

Joe apparently throws a fantastic Christmas party every year that duBarry is supposed to invite me to attend. Luckily for me, Joe invited me personally for this year's festivities. Here is Joe and his friend, JJ.

Just to show you the kitchen in duBarry's castle, here are KimLee, Jason, Kara, and Jeff...

It was such a treat for me to meet Mimi and spend time with her. She is a delightful, fun-loving person; so kind and nice to everyone. Her assistant, Michael, traveled with her. We all had a lot of fun together.

Tomorrow, a glorious day in the sun beside the ocean. Mimi sings. We meet Kellie. Good Times Keep on Coming!!
