MS. DEBARGE IS AT LARGE!

I'm happy to report that Flotilla Debarge, the Empress of Large, is at last a free tran. I spoke with her at length last night and she's a bit shaken, but still able to cough out those ol' zingers. "I'm just here at home listening to Li'l Kim cds and watching Martha Stewart re-runs", she quipped of her recent stint in jail on an assault charge. A mysterious, wealthy philanthropist was sweet enough to pay her bail, and the court date is set for November. There's something fishy about those charges, but Flo's meeting up with her lawyer tomorrow to weigh her options. Unaware of her release, costume designer extraordinaire Chris March whipped up this nifty t-shirt which he'd planned to sell at drag-themed restaurant Lucky Cheng's to support the Debarge family's long-lost sister. Until, that is, Chris realized that if the sales weren't VERY closely monitored, the FREE FLO tees might wind up benefitting the Lucky Cheng's employees' FREE DRUGS fund!

PS: Since Paul Alexander of The Ones squealed when I showed him the shirt, I gave it to him. (White is not exactly slimming!) The genius part is that he's wearing tonight to APT, the club where Flo's "incident" occurred last Sunday!
