I'm having far too much fun for a writer's festival, but
then this is no ordinary writer's festival. This is the Authors' Village at Palm
Springs Pride, where I spent the afternoon yakking with Violet Quill co-founder
Felice Picano (Twelve O'Clock Tales), celebrity photographer (and life
partner of director John Schlesinger) Michael Childers (Icons and Legends)
and Mark Abramson (California Dreamers.)
Later, with Michael, I attended the book signing at Just
Fabulous for Scotty Bowers, whose Hollywood tell-all, Full Service,
literally tells all when it comes to Hollywood stars and their sexual
proclivities. Can't wait to read it!
Following that, a celebrity fundraiser for HRC (Human Rights
Campaign) working for LGBT rights in America had me walking the lawn of a Palm
Springs mansion along with stars Zuzanna Szadkowski (Gossip Girl) and
Andrew Rannells (The New Normal), as well as looking around to find
Lorna Luft (aka Liza Minnelli's sister-sorry, Lorna!), who was said to be
somewhere in the vicinity.
