Tonight we had dinner at a delightful restaurant called TRIO, which seemed incredibly full of handsome men, and incredibly empty of any women whatsoever.
The restaurant was suggested by Rusty's friends Randy and Alton, WHO I AM STEALING.
Randy is currently appearing in the Palm Springs Follies, but both of them have amazing dancing pedigrees and FABULOUs show biz stories FOR. DAYS.
Rusty and Alton were Mitzi Gaynor's backup dancers FOR YEARS and appeared in all her TV specials (I keep thinking of that night we sat at Gary Hillberg's watching old Mitzi TV specials for hours on end -OMG - that was THEM!)
They were also on Broadway for years, and were the dancers on The Carol Burnett show!
I love them and AM STEALING THEM!
Randy casually mentions he was Barry Manilow's musical director for years and years. Alton tosses in that they have been invited to Barry's new years eve party but cannot go because Randy will be working. "I'M FREE"!!!!!! I possibly scream as a little bead of sweat forms above my lip. He winks at me and says "Pick you up at seven" ... WHAT!??? wait a minute ... WHAT!??? Am I going to Barry manilow's new years eve party?????
The conversation veers off in another direction - they could be talking about anything as all I hear is white noise as my cogs turn in overdrive wondering how I can steer the conversation back to BARRY!!!
Tragically dinner ends and nothing more is said -should i be ready at seven? Well, I do do have a fabulous Bettie Page dress i could wear.....
We arrange to go to the Follies to see Randy the next night and meet afterwards for a late supper... What a delightful pair of boys they are - STEALING!!!!
(and ..........about Barry .....)
