Hot Tramp

By Erik D'Souza

Hot Tramp is a prequel to the novel Straight Men in Gay Bars.
Eric is preforming a new social stunt by wearing a red boa to Vancouver’s hottest gay night club, Celebrities. His plan is to reprimand men as that try to pick him up; insisting that it is wrong to assume that all cross dressers are gay. It’s a dumb idea, but Eric is drunk and he enjoys the foolishness, besides what could go wrong?

Hot Tramp

November, 1996

I blame David Bowie. I have been watching his videos, listening to his music, and believing in his testament. And now I find myself standing in the rain, dressed in a non-descript, white dress shirt and my girlfriend’s red, feathered boa wrapped around my neck. We are next in line to enter the dance club, and not a moment too soon, as the rain and winds are picking up.

It’s a Tuesday night. We have been drinking since four and have eaten very little. Johan and I are in the mood for some mischief. Or to be more accurate, I’m in the mood for mischief and misadventure, and my best friend, Johan, is being accommodating as always. He doesn’t copy my fashion choice of wearing a boa to Vancouver’s largest gay bar, but to be fair, he has a better job than I do, and doesn’t feel the urge to solicit free drinks from gay men; his loss.

Celebrities has been a premiere dance club in Vancouver, since the 1980’s, but it is not the first bar to have been in this location. The history of this building spans almost a hundred years. It was designed and built as a dance hall, but it has changed names and music genres every few decades. Originally it was the Lester Dance Academy and then the Embassy Ballroom, a genteel dance club. In the 1960’s it was known as Dante’s Inferno. The Doors and the Grateful Dead played here before gaining international stardom. But perhaps the most notable tidbit is that Jimi Hendrix had often sat in with the house band that also consisted of Tommy Chong, who later found fame as a member of Cheech and Chong. From what I hear, the band was pretty tight.

It’s a matter of debate which came first, Celebrities or
