Well, on one occasion, I forgot that I was wearing a pair of Teddygirl crotchless panties - must've been the nog - and, naturally, all my business just fell right on out for the assembled masses to freak-out over. So, not only did a room full of flannel shirt- wearing red necks find out that I'm not exactly lacking in the manmeat department, but they also discovered that I happen to like women's pink satin underwear. Needless to say, I watched my back the entire way to the parking lot. Do you think I have anything to worry about? Panicked in Plano Dear Dead Meat: Good heavens, no! You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Why, you've seen Brokeback Mountain, right? Love among cowboys is now quite the rage, and I feel pretty sure that - even if Bubba and Dwight had followed you to your car - they would have been craving your phone number and a date, not to add you to the homicide statistics in the greater DFW Metroplex. And who could blame them, really, because God knows there's simply nothing more exciting than the sight of a huge schlong poking out of a pair of lace-trimmed, pink satin panties, now is there? Just puts you right in the mood.... We now return from La La Land to our regularly-scheduled sicko session. I just have to ask you - do you, dear, have a death wish? I mean, not only was that the first thing that crossed your mind while you scurried to your car, but you also wore and revealed pink satin crotchless panties into and in a dressing room full of less- than enlightened hillbillies AND drank so much that you didn't realize what you were doing. It all sounds like a frightening recipe for disaster, and I must sin- cerely question whether there is, on some level, a part of you that doesn't want to see the dawning of 2008 on Tuesday morning. Now, I don't mean to sound like an alarmist, but short of Zac Efron's success there really is no such thing as a freak accident, so I don't believe that your brush with Bubba Gump was just a coincidence. I would encourage you to seek, post-haste, advice from a certified counselor that will help you to explore why you choose to live on the precipice and what you can do to come back from the brink. That is, if you do, in fact, want to see 2008. Living in Plano is enough reason to want to end it all...you just don't need being on a redneck hit list to exacerbate the situation. Dear Diva: What are your New Years' resolutions? Gonna be Great in '08 Dear Hopeful: 1. To NEVER again read Perez Hilton. 2. To practice any religion save Catholicism until the College of Cardinals elects someone with a brain. 3. To plaster Hillary bumper stickers over every Bush-Cheney '04 decal. 4.

FOrthe filth year in a row, CharleS Armstrong Investments, Inc. - the parent company of Meteor, JR's Bar & Grill, South Beach and the Montrose Mining Company - presented checks in the amount of $1,000 to twelve Houston-area non-profit organizations in tile spirit of the Twelve Days of Chnstmas. The organizations - AIDS Foundation Houston, AssistHers, Bering Omega Community Services, Center for AIDS,. Gay & Lesbian Switchboard of nouston (Montrose Counseling Center,) Houston Area Teen Coalition of ffornosexuals (HATCH,) Houston SPCA, Houston transgender Unity Committee, Legacy Community Health Services, Lesbian Health Initiative of Houston, Pride Houston and Spay-Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP) - all provide essential programs and services to the GLBTQ Community of Houston and the sur- rounding area, and have become an essential thread in the fabric of life in the community. In announcing this year's recipients, Charles Armstrong - President and CEOof Charles Armstrong Invest- ments - stated: "I am pleased to an- nounce that we are once again in a position to give back to our commu- nity during this holiday season. These organizations work hard twelve months a year to provide services to both men and women in Houston's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgen- der Community. Even with the chal- lenging local economy and high energy costs that affect us all, we be- lieve it is important to support and recognize these twelve organizations. On behalf of our one hundred plus employees, management and thou- sands of valued patrons that support our family of clubs at 800 Pacific Street, we salute the following twelve (12) non-profit organizations with a $1.000.00 donation to each.' The checks were rresented by Charles Armstrong himsel to representatives of the twelve organizations during a ceremony at the Customer Apprecia- tion Party held recently at South Beach, the Coolest Place on Earth and the winner of AOL's Best Gay Bar for 2007. Also on hand was SoBe's Gen- eral Manager, Jose Apodaca, and a legion of fans and surporters of the club and the recipien organizations. This Week in Texas Magazine thanks our friend, Charles Armstrong, and his family of employees at 800 Pacific, and extends our sincere congratula- tions to all of the worthy and impor- tant organizations that were honored this year.
