The recently relaunched Vital Voice magazine has slowly been releasing videos under the Vital Vision brand on YouTube and although they’ve all been good, nothing beats their latest: “9 Chicken Wings + Dieta Pepsi”
Ms Dieta Pepsi, expect a call or email from us. You seem like the greatest interview of all time.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to try to figure out what category this post should fall in to. This could take a while.
Found on Facebook by one of readers, here is a whole gallery of photos from the Vital Voice relaunch party last week.
Here are our favorites:
We missed the launch party last night because of the weather and various other reasons, but we wanted to spread the word that the Vital Voice’s first issue back is out!
Also if anyone has any photos of the event, we’d love it if you would share.
According to The Riverfront Times [Editor's Note: Who we are mad at them right now! Boo!] St. Louis’ only Gay/Lesbian/Transgender newspaper is shutting its doors until 2010.
Voice publisher and owner, Pam Schneider, tells Daily RFT that she decided to shutdown the paper for the rest of the year to concentrate on a redesign of the publication.
“It just made sense to take the time and money we need to focus on coming out in 2010 the way we want,” she says.
Too bad that its come to this, but good to hear they will be coming back in a few months, but haven’t they learned nothing from Cher?! You aren’t supposed to pre-announce your return, you are just supposed to do it all of a sudden…with auto-tune.
[Editor's Note: Ok, we are over it now. We love the RFT.]
Who is Ed Reggi? The VitalVoice and I are so glad you asked:
Reggi, who moved to St. Louis in the 1990s, is a nationally known actor, director, producer and educator. As an entertainer, Reggi knows a lot of people and was well aware of his unique situation of having mass appeal not just to the gay community but also to a wide range of people who might not think about GLBT issues in their everyday lives.
To that end, Reggi founded Show Me No Hate (SMNH) and set about organizing the successful Nov. 15 rally outside of the Old Courthouse downtown to protest the passing of Proposition 8. The event drew more than 1,400 protesters from around the region on a cold and damp autumn afternoon and was put together in a week’s time with the aid of Reggi’s savvy, contacts and the use of new technology ranging from email and text messaging to social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace.
Its a great profile on a guy (and Twitter friend) thats trying to do some good around here.
