Pandemic? We don't need no stinkin' pandemic. The world might be in a state of blinding fear but you wouldn't know it by looking at the faces in the crowd at Katy Perry's bay area appearance on 4/28. The Rabid one was a part of the wily crowd and has to say, sex was flowing in the air and it had a palpable taste.
She kissed a girl and hell yeah she liked it. Her pseudo lesbian moment brought the people out en mass to Jannus Landing in St. Petersburg. Ok, I know what you're thinking, "who cares about pop music's current female sensation?" But a quick study of the mostly estrogen fueled audience yields fascinating results.
Up in the front, the faces of middle school tweens and their mom's are glued firmly on the stage. Mixed in and just behind the front row are the high school and college freshmen Twittering things on the live screen like "OMGz Katy Perry!" and "don't tell Dan about the herpes." Young couples were present though it was painfully obvious the boyfriends were there only because of a promise of getting laid. And then there were the single men looking to swim in the estrogen fest. Yes, everyone was there for one single reason: Sex.
Sure I was there to have a good time and I'm always looking to meet some capable Tampa Bay cuties, but I had no idea what to expect. Twelve year old girls dressed in the hippest of middle school chic looked on the cusp of innocence and debauchery. Moms looked sidetracked, thinking about how much they wanted to fuck Neil Diamond thirty years ago. The girls with boyfriends were fantasizing about lesbian trysts while their boyfriends were thinking the same thing. Myself, well I was apparently one of the specials on the menu because the single ladies and the newly divorced cougars, fresh off Wysteria Lane were throwing free drinks at the Rabid one.
The hits were sung. Katy gave a great, "what the fuck is up with this pole?" remark in regards to Jannus' unique stage setup. Covers of Queen and the Outfield were sprinkled in. And finally, just about everyone got what they wanted; to fantasize in a sexy, pop music orgy, desperately trying to escape their daily troubles. I mean hell, the guy standing next to me literally said, "is your Kitty Purry?" and even that bastard looked like he was going to get laid. Now if you'll excuse me I have to wipe the cherry chapstick off my junk.

Well written piece extremely charged. Did she use the pole?
She did use the pole, after she shared her chap stick with a couple of lesbians down on the front row. She came back up and said, "Well atleast I got to use the fucking pole." Great read!
Hey, thanks for the link-it was so worth it! I am so happy for you! Great article, but I doubt she rocks as much as you lol. Great writing as usual!
Great blog! Sounds like quality fun for the whole family! Just the thought of Katy Perry and a pole is enough to make my pants fit a little tighter.
What a GREAT night! Perhaps instead of the Swine Floridians are starting a new pop revolution... Just maybe we are becoming more european-- in our exceptance of alternative lifestyles. Parents had brought thier kids to this show! (shocked) Katy Perry is HOT! - when the giant inflatable lipstick came to the front of the stage and she announced that she had brought her Cherry Chapstick-- I will have to admit I was so jelous that i wasn't in the front row -- WE ALL knew what was coming next. (parents cover the kids eyes please) Katy is so HOT she makes even the straightest of girls want to "Kiss a Girl". After all we are "so magical". Great article.
Well written? Great read? It's low-brow writing by a classless attention whore about another classless attention whore whose 15 minutes of fame in an increasingly desperate society of brainless and valuesless cretins is just about over. The person who enthuses that maybe we will become European in our "exceptance" of alternative lifestyles should have spent more time getting an education and less time spreading STDs.
good read... appealing and provocative... loved how it ended: " Now if youll excuse me I have to wipe the cherry chapstick off my junk. " great article... nice work..
Oplease, What's the problem, Creative Loafing didn't hire you for the gig? Or do you know the writer personally to describe them as a "classless attention whore"? Its one thing not to like the artist, its another to attack someone personally. Apply for another job, better luck next time.
Hired? You mean this lame website pays for such excrement? It sure can't pay much, so, no, I didn't apply for a low/no-pay job here. It's a real stretch to call junior-high level blogging "art", but maybe in Tampa that's all you have. I don't have to know the "artist" personally to be able to call him an attention whore. It's obvious from his "art".
Well, keep reading, keep replying. Interesting that you read the "art" and replied not once but twice. Classless yourself? Or just some loser sitting home on Friday and Saturday night? Too bad for you, no STD's to share. knoww O
