Welcome to spring! It's time to pull out those parasols and step out for there is quite a shower of activity ahead!

We Minskys will be kicking off the month at Midnight Follies Presents "Spring Spectacular" at New York City's historic hotbed of class and culture, The Players Club, on Friday, May 7th.

There's going to be a flurry of activity this month, including a red-hot Dances of Vice with our favorite gal, Perle Noire, and a brand-spankin'-new Chifferobe in Providence for all you New England folks. We sure hope we'll be seeing you out very soon!
