Fun fact \u2013 while I know Ren\u00e9e, Fran, and Nicholle, one of them was the last woman I made out with.&nbsp; I don\u2019t want to give you too many clues.&nbsp; But it was in the driveway after a holiday party.&nbsp;

First is <strong>Miss Richfield 1981<\/strong>, who is celebrating 23 years in Ptown with her latest venture, <strong><em>There\u2019s A Pill For That<\/em><\/strong>.&nbsp; I dunno what pills she\u2019s taking, but she looks terrific.&nbsp; With nary a blue dress in sight, she\u2019s singing and dancing and entertaining the capacity crowds.&nbsp; She hasn\u2019t lost any of her luster or spice.&nbsp; In fact, this new show has a strong theme, catchy ditties, and naughty off-the-cuff barbs.&nbsp; Make your plans early \u2013 she regularly sells out.&nbsp; And after Labor Day, she tours.&nbsp; Check out her full schedule on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.MissRichfield.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>MissRichfield.com<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also at the <em>Post Office Cabaret <\/em>is the latest creation from the talented <strong>Jamie Morris <\/strong>of <strong><em>Mommie Queerest<\/em><\/strong> fame (not the version with a body count).&nbsp; This year, he does what the kids call a mash-up.&nbsp; He cleverly combines <strong><em>The Golden Girls<\/em><\/strong> with <strong><em>Mean Girls<\/em><\/strong> to bring us <strong><em>Golden Mean Girls<\/em><\/strong>.&nbsp; This is Jamie\u2019s 8<sup>th<\/sup> season in Ptown, and this show may be his best.&nbsp; He\u2019s brilliant as Blanche, although Sophia\u2019s breasts (as embodied by <strong>Payton St. James<\/strong>) come close to stealing the show.&nbsp; For those interested in a twink who has probably never eaten a <em>Twinkie<\/em>, then <strong>Zachary McEvoy <\/strong>is for you (he also works at <em>Joe Coffee<\/em>).&nbsp; It plays Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 10PM \u2013 which still leaves you plenty of time to go out and get lucky.&nbsp; Tix to both can be purchased at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.PostOfficeCafe.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>PostOfficeCafe.net<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.billymasters.com\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/colorbar1.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-568\" src=\"http:\/\/www.billymasters.com\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/colorbar1.gif\" alt=\"colorbar1\" width=\"500\" height=\"1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Speaking gals with great gams, our very own <strong>Alaska Thunderfuck <\/strong>is off the market.&nbsp;
