Prancercise Goes Live at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek

Get ready to prance like a show pony!

Internet sensation and sex icon Joanna Rohrback is bringing her trademark workout, Prancercise live to Seminole Casino Coconut Creek.

Hot to trot and ready to stroll, Rohrback describes her exercise as a "springy, rhythmic way of moving forward, similar to a horse's gait and ideally induced by elation." Sure you'll have Equus flashbacks, but this mama's gallop will also make you a little tight in the pants. Boner City.

Five Things We Learned Gay Clubbing in Wilton Manors

FastForward is a weekly column documenting the nighttime scene in Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach County. It's a weeknight stop at your neighborhood dive; it's a blurry, bass-filled Friday night in the club; it's that one moment in a conversation you hope you'll remember the next morning.


This past Saturday night, RuPaul's Drag Race star Latrice Royale, the big and beautiful runner-up two seasons back, was slated to perform at Wilton Manor's nightclub and lounge, the Manor. Although we made every effort to determine when the flamboyant, show-stopping star would take the stage (at 11:30 we were told it'd be after 2; at 2:30 we were told she'd gone on an hour earlier), we never did see the queen do her thang. And quite frankly, we're not sure anyone else was even there for Latrice.

What we did see while we wandered the Manor's honeycomb of rooms like Alice in a psychedelic wallpapered, labyrinthine Wonderland, made our trip to Fort Lauderdale's gay neighbor, Wilton Manors, at least partially worthwhile. A group of straight, twenty-something girls, all dressed up in our cutest mini-dresses and heels, we definitely came away with some new experiences.

Here are five things we learned while clubbing in Wilton Manors.

Kanye West: Is He Jealous of Jay-Z's Bromance with Justin Timberlake?

Categories: A Gay Ol' Time

Yeezy misses his BFF
Remember when Kanye West was touring Europe this past February, and -- night after night -- lost his metaphorical shit onstage?

In case you don't, let us clarify our statement with a note explaining that by "lost his shit," we don't mean "really gave the performance his all" or "misplaced his car keys."

Yeezy literally had his brain oozing out of his freakin' ears! How else could one explain his crazier-than-usual ranting and psychedelic harsh noise performances? Kanye even called out Jay-Z for hanging out with Justin Timberlake!

Wait a minute... maybe that explains everything.

Karmin Was "Really Proud" to Perform at Pride South Florida in Fort Lauderdale

Straight and gay couples shoveled frozen lemonade into their maws while eyeing chocolate penis lollipops. The fashions included: men in leather, roller-derby gals, and one middle-aged guy in Bamm-Bamm Rubble bottoms. A hefty dude perched in a dunk tank never seemed to get slammed into the water. How could they all miss that target? 'Cause it was Pride South Florida.

Friendship and love were thick in the humid air. The festivities at the War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale were swinging by the time headliner Karmin, the rapping duo and internet sensation, hit the stage with their backing band. Nick Louis Noonan was at the keyboard, then jumping from the platform, his pretty face all up in the audience. Amy Heidemann announced she was thrilled there were so many people there. Last time they performed Pride South Florida, she counted something like 20 audience members.

Before the show, though, we crashed their van for an interview.

5 Musicians, Other Than Morrissey, Who Might Have Food Restrictions at Their Concerts

mozcat2.jpg
There are several surprising facets to Morrissey's concert tonight at Los Angeles' Staples Center.

The first is that Morrissey is able to play a venue as large as the arena that houses the LA Lakers basketball team. The second is that Morrissey requested that all the vendors at the arena only sell 100% vegetarian food. The third is that the venue actually listened to him and is following his orders. McDonald's will be closed down, and a portion of all proceeds will go toward PETA. When Paul McCartney made a similar request years earlier, he had been turned down, but, then again, McCartney never made a case as strongly for vegetarianism as when Morrissey sang with The Smiths Meat Is Murder.

For years, bands have made strange requests for their dressing rooms, but this is the first known case of a dietary request for the entire venue. In the press release, the Moz said, "I don't look upon it as a victory for me, but a victory for the animals." Hearing of Morrissey's (and the surviving animal's) success, we wondered what other musical acts might impose dietary restrictions on their audience.

Margaret Cho On the Weirdest Place to Get a Tattoo (Interview, Part One)

Margaret Cho is one comedian who will never lose her audience. Not only because gays and Koreans won't be going extinct anytime soon, but because she is, herself, an evolving artist.

She's danced with the stars and inked most of her flesh. She played a comedic, but convincing Kim Jong Il on 30 Rock and has a regular role in Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva. Recently, she collaborated with some of the great musical minds of our time -- including Fiona Apple, Andrew Bird, Tegan and Sara -- learned to play the guitar, banjo, and dulcimer, and created a Grammy winning album Cho Dependent.

Cho takes her newest show, Mother, back on the road this month, offering a Cho approach to motherhood in its many forms. We spoke with her about places on the body to avoid tattooing, learning to play guitar with Josh Klinghoffer, and being a smothering mother to the world.

Hate Music and Pan con Lechón-Eating, Pembroke Pines Neo-Nazis

AF
Maybe if it said "ENGLISH ONLY, PLEASE"

Regardless of what rumors you've heard, or the excessive and rather inane coverage we give inconsequential humans like the Kardashians, the Wests (and their upcoming hybrid model) and the Biebers of the world; your Broward/Palm Beach New Times has always thought of its readership first and foremost. We strive to provide a voice and a line of interest for the local reader who deserves better than our mainstream counterparts. While we can't cover everything, at times, we try to make amends.

Imagine the eye-opener suffered by this County Grind correspondent this past Monday while on route to the Forgetters show in west Pembroke Pines, when he realized that the sonic needs and necessities of the White Power community here in Broward County had been ignored for so long?! Especially those armed with a pen, a buttload of ignorant hatred, and with a taste for delicious pan con lechón, cascos de guayaba con queso crema, and fritas.

And to think! These constituents of ours are forced by ethnic expansion to shop at Sedano's! That's right, the image above was taken inside the men's room of the Pines Boulevard store. We'd like to set the record straight, and do so with music.
