Interview with Tinkerbell

So we hear that you left Neverland. Where are you staying these days?
Well, I took rooms at The Hotel by ShareGurl in the Pines and The Belvedere in
Cherry Grove. I am really enjoying my summer on Fire Island - flying between
the two communities at night and lighting the way for all the lost boys traveling
through the Meat Rack!

Do you miss the gang from Neverland? Do you keep in touch? at
Unfortunately, the Lost Boys don’t have Instagram or Snapchat and I am
Peter for taking me for granted. Time to spread my wings!

After leaving Fire Island, what journeys are you looking to pursue?
I plan on starting a career as a party promoter and would love to work with Guy
& Robert! Hey guys, do you need a lighting assistant?

Have you thought about college?
Oh yes!! I also want to go to FIT – Neverland really needs a fashion makeover!!!

Any current fashion trends that are must haves for your closet?
Oh, I like skinny jeans – especially after wearing that tiny dress for so long! But I
am also taking my cues from all the boys here and plan on getting a pair of plastic
Birkenstocks from Peter at the General Store. I hope they haven’t sold out!!

Do we dare ask…anyone special in your life?
Well, I hear there will be several hundred Peters at Pines Party. So, who knows!

Any upcoming travel plans?
Well, Pines Party is the biggest event of the year! So after that, I am sure I will
need a vacation! I’ve had so much fun here and think I’ll take a share for the rest
of the season!

Interview with a Lost Boy

How did you come to Fire Island?
I was in New York for Stonewall 25. Seeing all the color and energy of so many
boys having fun, I just had to follow along and see where they were headed. Well, a
bunch of them came to Fire Island right after and the parties continued for another
week with the July 4th festivities. That’s when I knew this is where I belonged. Who
wants to grow up when you can have ALL this!!
What does it mean to be a lost boy?
It’s about having fun and not taking life too seriously. I get to kiki with my boys,
who are my family. We may be silly and have fun with each other, but at the end of
the day, we work to build each other up while looking fabulous.
Do you have to be gay to be a lost boy?
Of course not! You don’t even have to be a boy! Oh you grownups and gender. We
love everyone in our group for just being themselves. But, if you happen to be gay,
you’re gonna do just fine. ;-)
How do you keep so young?
Honey, most of us are probably older than you! The trick is not giving in to getting
old. Kick up your heels! Of course a little fairy dust helps too. You do believe in
fairies, right? I mean, look around! Anyway, don’t grow up. Stay young. And always
moisturize.
Where do Lost Boys hang out and what do you like to do?
Well, the Meat Rack mostly - especially on Friday nights. Sometimes we swim in
your pools. We’re usually the ones who let the deer into your yard. Daniel Nardiccio
always knows where to find us. We also like dancing a lot so
you can spot us on the dance floor if you look carefully.
So you live here year round?
Pretty much. Except in Miami/Ft Lauderdale in late
November and early March.
Oh, why?
Are you kidding? You and I know where the fun is at.

An Open Letter From

JAMES HOOK, CAPTAIN OF THE JOLLY ROGER
To all you little – and big – lost boys
Before you start sheathing your Speedo in holly leaves and walking through clouds of tossed green glitter, maybe you should put
down the glue gun a minute, and prick up your elf-tipped ears because you’ve been duped; have been for years, and it just ain’t
right. Trust me, my foolish ones, if it wasn’t so unfair I wouldn’t bother writing this because it ain’t easy typing with a hook.
Look, I saw your party posters. You all think that little punk Pan is just so pinch-all-four-cheeks-adorable, doncha? Big surprise.
Why, I bet you wish he was real so he could lift your arms high over your head and spread your legs wide to levitate you, so to
speak. Of course you do. You know why? Because you’ve been brainwashed by both those twisted mouse factory animators,
who pile on fairy dust whenever they want to obscure the truth, and, worst of all, that cutesy poo, lame-ass musical where the
only way anyone gets to fly is by being strapped into a harness so tight your crotch is in your mouth.
Come on! These are your sources of adoration? As if a woman playing your hero onstage wasn’t enough of a red flag? (An
actor on all fours in a St. Bernard costume is even freakier, but let’s talk about furries another time). Pan, that goddam little
twink is a two-faced fake, a hormone deficient psychological sloop crash, who somehow manages to spend every day and night
surrounded by rowdy, testosterone riddled young men, yet somehow manages to have less sex than Mike Pence.
Yeah, I know, he’s chockful of all these throw-pillow aphorisms like “Dreams do come true if you only wish hard enough”
and “the moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it,” but the only reason he spouts this
pre-Osteenesque codswallop is to sweet talk Wendy - and here’s the kicker - not so he can get into her pants, but because HE
NEEDS A MOMMY. This is who you are going to meme? And dressing like the pube-free sprite is how you think you’re
going to get laid? Kiddies, you’d be better off coming as Barbie. At least she has tits.
Obviously, few of you have ever read JM Barrie’s classic book, let alone his original drafts, of our shared history or you would
have known the author first described his jolly green pipsqueak as being “devious,” even “villainous” for being so breezily willing
to kidnap the Darling children from their family with no remorse. In fact, your wingless ‘angel’ was so terrified of any kind of
parental authority that he actually cut off my hand and fed it to that nasty crocodile. And I’m the bad guy?!
You, who just marched for equality, I beg your indulgence because who would know it from the jug-jawed, Snidely-Whiplash
mustached, Cher in Moonstruck-bewigged way in which I am now routinely depicted (for the record, my real hair is much
more like Keanu Reeves. Not bad, no?) but Mr. Barrie described me – Me! - and not the boy who never ever has any physical
contact with anybody, in case you hadn’t noticed, as “the handsomest man I had ever seen.” Not only that, Barrie also
declared me “a magnificent pirate.” You think it’s easy running a profitable ship? If it was that breezy a plank walk, Atlantic
Cruises would have a lot more competition. No, one need to have far more than swash ‘neath your buckle if one is going to
make it as a buccaneer. Okay, so the crocodile scares the knickers off me. If a creature ate your hand, how would you react?
If this ain’t PTSD, what is? So have a heart.
Speaking of heart, my loyal, lusty crew know I am passionate about treasure, plunder, conquest and yes, even passion.
Everyone conveniently forgets that I was positively mad for Tiger Lily, simply bonkers, and it was mutual. But the leprechaun
on Slimfast is also a homewrecker, and he ruined our romance by promising Lily what he, as I have plainly stated, couldn’t and
never delivers.
But I could have. Oh, and how I could have! Don’t be thrown off by the velvet cape, brocaded doublet, skintight britches,
thigh-high boots and dashing headband – you’re all way too young to realize that long before RuPaul’s drag armada, Captain
Hook knew that parading like a peacock is how you gained power and garnered attention – I am both a lover and a fighter!
Tonight, you have a choice. Either keep the lie alive, and show up looking like the Grinch’s distant, if twinkier, lost cousin
(though may I ask, when was the last time you claimed green was your color?). Or you can slash on a sash, brandish some
swagger and face those at your wondrous Neverland in the sand, pledging allegiance to the most woefully maligned lovers of
manly adventure in all literature. You may be surprised to find it’s a virile pirate’s life for you. Sure beats spending every night
with someone named Tinkerbell.
Grow up, you limeys and I’ll show you how dreams are really born,
Yours truly,
Captain James Hook (intercepted by Hal Rubenstein)
