To get more of an eye popping, live eye full of these Hunks, albeit more heavily covered, rush over to XL Nightclub, where they are safely kept behind the bar counters for fear of setting the whole place on fire

On May 18, Universal Gear launched its new flagship store in Hell’s Kitchen, its second location in Manhattan. The first store, in Chelsea, opened in November 2001, creating a dynamic shopping environment with dance music listening stations and aluminum and polycarbonate fixtures. It became instantly popular among the Queer community.

"The gay community has helped position our store for enormous growth," said David Franco, co-founder and owner of Universal Gear. "But the non-gay customer also makes up about 30% of our sales. Straight men are increasingly feeling more comfortable wearing cool, city gear and sportswear and buying in a traditionally gay area."

HOT MESS Drag Review at XL

reporter: Miguel Dominguez

In the very short time that XL Cabaret & Nightclub has been open, it has managed to become the premier spot in the city for queer oriented entertainment.

"Hot Mess" Maitresses of Ceremony Bianca Del Rio, whose witty tongue is as sharp as a razor blade dipped in acid, and Lady Bunny, of "Wigstock" and Ru Paul's "Drag U" fame, who is also a regular DJ at XL and one of the best reasons to go there on "Rockit Fridays" to party

Brandon Voss and Tony Fornabaio of FV Events, have done it again. Not only is their weekly Rockit Fridays party at XL Nightclub the best place to “see and be seen”—their gatherings are overwhelmigly made up of Hunks, Hotties and Muscles—It has also become the preferred venue for very exciting events such as the launch party of Ru Paul Drag Race’s 4th season, which took place on February 3. The whole feel of the place was one of a gym celebrating Mardi Gras.

Chastisement anyone?

On January 27th, Brandon Voss and Tony Fornabaio’s Rockit Fridays had a grand opening at XL Nightclub, the latest nightlife destination by FV Events and John Blair Promotions. Located inside the Hell's Kitchen gay urban resort, The Out NYC (512 West 42nd Street,) this enjoyable weekly event—with wall to wall cuties, muscle boys, and the “Fire Hazard” bartenders—takes place in a dance and party space with a 2400-seat cabaret and lounge catering to hotel guests and the queer community.
