Foodsluts at Doll & Penny's

Foodsluts at Doll & Penny's Re-live Vancouver when the shoulder pads were big and the drag was tough!

From Xtra Vancouver and xtra.ca comes a tribute to one of Vancouver's gay institutions and the time in which it thrived. Set between the years 1988-1991, Foodsluts is a serialized memoir that chronicles the rise and fall of Doll & Penny’s Café. Follow 20-year-old Tony Correia, as he navigates love, sex, and politics against a brocade backdrop of drag queens, prostitutes, go-go boys and the religious right. Written by Tony Correia

TORONTO – In a startling revelation yesterday, a team of scientists at the University of Toronto released a report providing irrefutable evidence that a single box of Kraft Dinner, contrary to its recommended serving suggestion, has never actually fed four people.

I’ve been getting a lot requests for the print editor of Fooduts at Doll & Penny’s Cafe.
I just dropped two copies off at Little Sister's Book & Art Emporium. I’ve also ordered more copies of the book. I hope to have them in a couple of weeks.
I also recommend picking up a copy of Our Story by Robert Hamilton. His book covers the same time period as Foodsluts and it’s quite moving.
