On that day in 1981 - 15 July

A night at the "Underwear Club" (as Brendan, who worked there, called it); for a very short while they had weekly ballroom dancing nights; I think once Roosevelt and I were the only ones there! But it was so much fun - getting dressed up and dancing with gay guys - what's not to love?!

Unfortunately I don't have any photos of these nights, but this one, with Scott, was taken about ten days before this entry.

15 July 1981

I wasn't gonna go out this evening but then Roosevelt [Brian G] said he and Patty were going ballroom dancing at the Lingerie and Patty [Duarte] said she'd give me a ride... So I called Scott and rushed to get ready.

Michael Uhlenkott and Jill [Jordan] were there and later I thought, "That girl looks like Suzanne Williams," and it was - weird. [Weird cause we knew her from high school but never ran into her randomly in Hollywood...]

Roosevelt and I danced to Come Fly With Me and it was the most fun I'd had in years! We had the whole dance floor to ourselves and we really hammed it up ... then I danced to As Time Goes By and a couple others with Michael. What a contrast! He wasn't as good as I remembered. [Whoa, I'm sooo catty! But Brian was a tough act to follow... Apologies, Michael!]

Scott hadn't shown so I called him. He was even late after that!

Suzanne left; Roosevelt and I danced to another Sinatra song - Dancing Cheek to Cheek. I think then Scott and I went upstairs; we had the whole balcony to ourselves at first. Scott wouldn't dance cause he said he was depressed. He didn't seem depressed though... [No, he was probably afraid I'd diss his dancing as I did poor Michael's!]

Patty came up and said something rude - I'd almost forgotten about the old Patty... She was leaving suddenly - I barely got a chance to say goodbye to Scott!
