INSTANT TEA

Another night, another pre-primary party

March 4th, 2008

Despite a driving snowstorm outside, several dozen die-hard Hillary Clinton supporters made it to S4 on Monday night for a fundraiser featuring celebs Sophie B. Hawkins, Rob Reiner, Ellen Greene and Bruce Cohen. Here are a few pics from the VIP reception.

When I asked bisexual singer/songwriter Sophie B. to strike an erotic pose — “something the lesbians will like” — she grabbed Clinton supporter Stefanie Holmes of Atlanta from the bar. Hawkins had Holmes kneel on the floor while she put a chain around her neck. Not sure where this idea came from or what it means, but I’m starting to dig the whole bisexual thing.

Even hotter than the S&M pose was Hawkins’ ass, but there’s a story behind these jeans. Hawkins claims she’s worn them for every show, like 100 per year, since 1992. Coincidentally, that’s the same year Bill Clinton was elected. Hawkins’ also was sporting a “Damn, I wish she was my president” Hillary Clinton T-shirt, which Hawkins designed based on her hit song, “Damn, I wish I was your lover.”

Many seem to think actor Robert Gant (at left with finger in mouth) of “Queer as Folk” fame is sexy. Personally, I’ll take Marcus of J.R.’s barback fame (at right) any day of the week.
