Chattanooga Chatter Copyright Applied For by Kathy Greetings again to all you gossip 'lovers! Here we go again with some of the local grease. Recently one of our well known waiters had a birthday party for which a well known D.J. baked a beautiful cake. The party was fun and got even better when - - well it’s well known what happened to the cake - - Maybe Kathy likes upside down cakes cause the pretty blue roses land ed in the middle of the stage. Hope you have a better party next year, Mark! Speaking of birthdays, Trisha just celebrated hers and for some unknown rea son they wouldn’t let the D.J. carry that three tier ed cake. And speaking of Trisha, after putting on a great performance at the Sweet Gum Head in Atlanta she stopped at a truck stop and to the writer’s aston ishment - - she got out of drag right there in the car. Needless to say, the car next to us was “wrecked.” Congrats to a certain couple here who bought a very old (and big) new home. It’s hard to ima gine. You really have to see it to believe it. Count ing bathrooms and every thing, I think the last count came to 32 rooms! They ain’t little rooms either. The entry hall itself is 600 square feet (54 regu lar ones). We hope you have a nice stay, Jack and Donna. But what are you going to do when you finish restoring this house? The Unfits are all work ing towards bigger and bet ter shows. They’re a bunch of wonderfully talented kiks. A few weeks ago someone from out of town commented that nobody had anything on the female im: personator in his western home. However, he quick ly changed his mind when our stars strolled in and the show began. After it ended, with an audience participation number, “Tossin and Turnin’’ (You’d have to see that number to believe it!) the gentleman from out of town said, “It’s amazing how different each one happens to be, but they work to gether so beautifully.” Good work girls! Before I sign off this month, we’d like to wel come Cheerleader home. We sure missed her when she took an extended vaca tion and got away from'it ‘ all. We’re glad to have you home! f Everyone knows Pdily and Misti and Adrian and Leader and even Lucinda are all real, but' there’s a printed sign in the dress ing room that ; Jet’s no one forget that “CANDY CANE IS REM ” Want to rap?
