WELCOME


Welcome to our world:
MARK + ROBERT + NEW YORK = MRNY.

Because there's always at least a little
New York in all of us.  The New York Times is national.  There's Broadway in Vegas - and bagels in Paris. And right now, we're in South Beach -- where we're covering the Sixth Borough. Here’s what we’ve been doing—and our take on it all.

Mark and Robert
MRNY -- We cover the sixth borough.

CLICK :: Power Infiniti’s Birthday Funhouse
DEK23, Miami Beach


                                                                                         
The question: what to wear to the party of a performer known for his jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring ensembles?  The answer?  There were boyz in maquillage and suit-breasts (a pec-baring vest), and there was promoter Dustin Reffca with his gravity-defying Fuller Brush hair and his silver kicks,  and Omar as a t-shirted Brando, and Adora as a flame-haired Olivia Newton-John, and Alan T. as Sexy Nascar Driver (complete with bullhorn), and there was a blond sex kitten and a black leather Weimar tomcat, and there was Chyna, fresh off the pages of a Louis Vuitton fashion spread, and, up in the booth, a realgirl deejay, Amalia Leandro, werking the beats and playing “Sexy Motherfucka”—and is it any wonder that at that very moment the birthday celebutante should make his entrance: the Boy Prince, King Tutankhamen DJ Power Infiniti in headdress and smiles as he made his way to his birthday booth.

Jonny “The Gay Pimp” McGovern’s new music video:
“Don't Fall in Love with a Homo”


                                                                                         
JONNY'S BACK!  Jonny McGovern's latest video is HERE!  And this time he's left the locker room for the lounge.  He's traded soccer players for the Harlettes.  Think JONNY as Barry White--with Ericka Toure, Linda James and Maxine Inniss as his Love Unlimited Orchestra.  JONNY as you've never seen him before.  JONNY as Wayne Newton, Engelbert, Rick James and Isaac Hayes--all in one package as only JONNY can do--singing his latest hit "Don't Fall in Love With a Homo." 

Turn down the bedsheets and lower the lights: JONNY IS MACK DADDY NOW. Light the scented candles and click here for JONNY's "Quiet Storm."

CHERRY SMASH
Cherry Weekend, Washington DC


                                                                                          PHOTO BY MARK & ROBERT

The cherry blossoms held.  They held on for Cherry Weekend. All around Dupont Circle, from P Street to U, from 14th to 17th, pink-covered branches shimmered in the sun and shivered in the breeze, sending cherry blossoms fluttering to the ground: a carpet of cherry blossoms underfoot as the boyz arrived on Friday and Saturday.  That’s some kind of art direction by the Cherry Fund.

EDISON’S SURREAL DREAM BIRTHDAY
Dream, 1532 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach


                                                                                          PHOTO BY MARK & ROBERT

As Edison knows, what good is celebrating your birthday—unless you can share it with 500 of your closest nightlife habitués, models, designers, cabaret performers, photogs, and other assorted nocturnal denizens.  His face was everywhere, the invite fluttering up and down Washington Avenue.  Mind you, this is a guy who’ll give you the shirt off his back—as in swag bags with tees from Underdog Denim and FACA.  We’re talking butter soft tees—as well as free vodka.  The club was packed.  Once known as Amika (and before that, Shadow Lounge), 1532 Washington is now Dream, all gussied up in bordello red, which suits the club’s new tagline: “Reality is overrated.”  Try surreal instead—for the night was nothing if not another one of those good old-fashioned Miami Beach cat-walking, tail-shaking, ass-cracking, nude-strutting, camel-toed, sidesplit
