EXCLUSIVE! Under the Dryer Makes La Dolce Musto by Michael Musto

Well if we aren't blushing and and fanning our faces! Thanks to legendary Def Poet Emanuel Xavier, (left)the shop has been written up by the infamous columnist Michael Musto in the also-legendary Village Voice.!!!! Needless to say we are honored, humbled, and grateful! (though we know it will wreak pure havoc with the appointment book.) Mr. Musto cited my recent post taking Madonna to task, saying that she should do a benefit concert in memory of the late Willi Ninja to help defray medical bills and his elderly mother's continued care. (Willi passed away due to complications from AIDS on September 2, 2006.) My biggest hope is not to be famous, but that someone in Madonna's camp reads this, communicates it to her, and she takes me up on my suggestion. Emanuel, you have a standing appointment on this site, love! Love to have you guest-blog sometime. (*bows down to the 'row*) village voice > nyclife > La Dolce Musto by Michael Musto: "Before spraying one's hair, any he-man must go Under the Dryer�the name of a pesky blog which provocatively says MADONNA should pay for the expenses of late voguer Ann Richards, I mean Willi Ninja. As was just vented there, 'Madonna owes the voguing community a huge debt and the least she could do is step up and pay Willi's remaining medical bills and see to his mother's continued care.' It says she 'pimped her way' to stardom 'on the backs of African American, Latino, and gay cultures . . . She would have nothing including LOURDES without black and brown people. (Madonna was quite public about seeking out a Latino to father her first child.)' There are several intellectual leaps in this argument that I'm not taking�not without liquids�but it's food for thought, and at least it ends with the more realistic suggestion that Madge can maybe just do a benefit concert."
