The Notorious F.☆.G 
A Twirl in Tamarindo
Live from Costa Rica

I blasted off to Costa Rica a few weeks back to chill out on my favorite beach and stay at my favorite hostel (Shoutout Pipe House Playa Grande). Before I went down there, I decided to offer my services to the nearest gay club for a night at their local market rate. Turns out Kinky Tamarindo is a sexy outdoor club near the beach which also happens to be the only intentionally queer space in the Guanacaste province. I felt honored to share some music and some New York energy on their neon-and-moonlit dance floor. I invited every hot person I met throughout my vacation to come dance at my set and so many of them did! The whole crowd was an amazing, ebbing and flowing mix of tourist gays from all over the world, local trade, and even some hetero-identified hotties who just wanted to dance. Big thanks to Esteban for having me. I’ll be looking forward to my next Twirl in Tamarindo...
