Dear Friends,
It is with great sadness that I announce the close of OutSpokenNYC.
It’s a bittersweet feeling because in the recent successes of our founding contributors Tyler Williams, Jonathan Bender and myself we’ve decided that we each need to focus on the personal projects we have going on. [...]
The new generation of Girl Power.
Over the past year Xelle has been breaking boundaries left and right. From being the first girl group to include a drag queen, to getting international recognition from their first single “Party Girl,” to standing up for youth with their single “Invincible” benefitting [...]
A few weeks ago I visited some friends in Pittsburgh and ended up spending a lot of time at a little strip club called Cricket. We got to know the girls pretty well as we judged them American-Idol-style. They should DEFINITELY have a reality show based around these girls. The good and the bad.
