Hey guys, please check out my new show “Drink Up” on The Cooking Channel launch, May 31st @ 6 & 6:30 PM…Moving forward my regularly scheduled time will be Sundays @ 10:30 PM. Enjoy!!!

The world-renowned, leading diva of dance music is much more than just a vocalist — she lives to bring the spirit of love from the stage to the floor.

Barbara Celebrated both her birthday and 25th Anniversary in the dance music industry at Webster Hall on March 19th. The venue was packed with friends, fans, and fellow artists (Lady Bunny, Jay Williams and more)

Strong in her belief of the power of the stage, she performs from her throne, singing the message of everyday people, everyday hope, and everyday love. What inspiration…Cheers!!!

This past Tuesday, I rivaled my best tasting day to date by co-creating and sampling over 40 new cocktails for a new menu development project for a major NYC hotel bar.

Now, I’ve been doing this sort of stuff for what seems like just a minute now, and I’d like to think that I’m pretty seasoned and have established a pre-tasting routine that works for me… yeah right! I’m no lightweight when it comes to drinking or in my physical body stature, not that the last point has much bearing.

So, I did have a good night’s sleep, ate a relatively big breakfast, made sure to hydrate with almost a gallon of water (hmmm…this accounted for at least 10 restroom visits), and I only dipped a straw in each drink to taste. All I have to say is thank goodness that I ordered car service!

Most importantly, the drinks turned out simply fab!!! And, the client gave me the thumbs up approval on the new cocktail menu. So much for having a routine!
