Miss Joey Brooks has been a good friend of ours for many years. Joey, Miss Ybor City, was even the Very 1st Miss MC Film Festival. Her gold framed photo is in our store today. One Monday we were all 3 off for the day.  We thought it would be fun to head for St. Petersburg for the afternoon. Arriving at George’s  Alibi, the three of us headed for the outside bar. Our drinks had just arrived when up pops this guy in his 20’s. He was all bubbly excited to see Mark & Carrie from Ybor City. We all started to talk when he says… “I just Love going to Ybor City to see Joey Brooks perform. She is my favorite!!!”

    Joey, who was out of drag just smiled turned to us and winked then said, “She is my favorite too.” The young guy went on to say” Joey and me are best friends. I even know all the words to her songs.” He then starts to sing a song. Joey joined in and the poor guy never realized it was Joey.

     We didn’t say a word but  laughed all the way home.
