More on Silver Dollar Saloon. | |
The Silver Dollar Saloon has always maintained a loyal following of gay cowboys, line-dancing lesbians, off-duty drag queens, and admirers of any and/or all of the above. Decidedly unfancy, the SD has always been the best gay bar to go “slumming” in. In other words, a bad-hair day in yesterday’s clothes has never been an issue here.
I decided to do my sneak attack on what I thought would be an “off night” to see if the SD had successfully moved the warm and fuzzy gay dive bar into a nightclub setting.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the SD is still free on most nights (Sunday-Thursday), and that they still check everyone’s ID (which always feels good once you’re of a certain age). And as it was in its original incarnation, the SD is still, thank God, a sea of crisp black cowboy hats, starched shirts, boots, beer, and same-sex couples two-stepping to Tejano music.
Just as I was breathing a sigh of relief over the sameness of things, I spotted two peacock-ish characters entering the club — a multicolored explosion that defied gender, race, and logic. When I approached these exotic creatures, appropriately named Shokkiku and Toxxic, they were busy reminding the doorman of their dire need for black lights to bask in. I asked if I could take their picture and they began shrieking in an indecipherable language and voguing like the Paris and Nicole of an alien planet. Shokkiku bought us a round of drinks at the main bar. “Wait, wait! We have to suffocate!” she squealed. A little nervous, I waited while s/he fished a pink aerosol can out of her giant ghetto-blaster-shaped purse and “suffocated” us with a giant cloud of scented gas. “Cheers!” We clinked our glasses and I felt like I had just been initiated into Strawberry Shortcake’s LSD support group.
I left the bar completely flabbergasted by what I had just witnessed. The place had managed to keep the original plot in sight and attract a new cast of characters that don’t exactly fit in elsewhere. In my car, I took a deep breath and nearly gagged — I smelled like a cupcake that had spent the night in an ashtray. That’s when I decided to have my next drink in the bathtub.

You have no form of style, character, or creation other than throwing on a bunch of shit together and calling it an "outfit". That's no how it's done, maybe people some people would find that acceptable in SA but I sure as hell wouldn't want that in my establishment! Not only does the clutter of rainbow sh*t flip my stomach but the over exaggerated skin tan! Sorry but it just looks straight up gross, and as far as I'm concerned you're a total disgrace to the cyber scene.

On 9/22/2009 8:13:25 PM, Anonymous said:Whoa! One of those is actually a dude? That's just straight up wrong what he's doing to your friends pictures though man, Lord rest her soul. On the other hand, think of it this way, some people have to pose themselves as other people because they know they will NEVER be as good as the person they admire. So at any given point they will try to clone them in any way. I know because I went through somewhat the same situation. It's really fucked up I know but on the other hand, you already know this "toxxic" kid will never even come close to being as awesome as your friend.
Peace

On 9/30/2009 1:20:27 PM, Anonymous said:that is not true I know toxxxic and the girl that passed away gave him that name and she died with the name tara bull her name was sarah and Joey aka toxxic took the name in memory of her because he was her biggest fan She died of an overdose and should be glad someone who is sober and doing good things in this world took her name not some ugly person or nobody and actually half the things this person said is a lie he has always been excepted in any clubs and could care less what anyone thinks and is living his dreams!!! Im a fan myself he inspires me alot!!!!!!!!!!

On 10/2/2009 11:28:31 AM, Anonymous said:theyr'e look and the tan is actually from tokyo a stlyle called ganguro or yamamba where they tan and go against people sticking to the color wheel or i.e matchy match from head to toe the wear white lines in there nose white or uv lipstick and like to stand out. I looked up toxxics myspace and found that out. I think he is the king of cyberkids because he doesn't follow yall's rules and goes against the traditional cyber looks, and thats what cyber is all about going further in to the future and he actually looks awesome in my opinion!!!!! btw alot of people love him so one bad apple he can certainly laugh off and yeah the darkhearted person needs to do more research and really take a look in the mirror and try to compare to the notorious toxxxic!

That was some shit you made up and know you can get away with it because she is no longer here to defend herself. And to the bitch who said that Tara died of an overdose, that information doesn't need to be leaked into the public, have some fucking respect you ass kissing cunt!
Notorious Toxxxic?? Ain't a god damn thing notorious about that multicolored fag. You can claim to be a true member of the cyber scene all you want but Cirrus was right, you are fucking disgrace to the cyber scene. I hope I never run into you in person you little shit. You put yourself in such a high place when in general no one gives a fuck about you or your shitty style, the only thing you're a king of is probably shoving a broom stick the furthest up your ass.

You can't trust him and and I can't believe the Current would put their pic in here. But I guess its just a reflection of what the gay community has degenerated into in this city. Sick and Disgraceful, get some Class San Antonio!

I think he has class because he has good taste, and I would like the anonymous users to compare there pics w his and say who you are if you are that concerned, u mite be gay or homophobia, meaning u like gays and need therapy to deal with them.I seen him on Jerry Springer a few weeks ago and was adorable.He went out as nitelife misfits and showing his collection and statements so he's definetly making a positive movement.

On 11/3/2009 1:10:57 AM, Anonymous said:i just had someone send me this link. regardless of anything else....i would know this better than anyone. Sarah aka Toxxxic aka Tara Bull did NOT die of an overdose. i am not saying what she did die of but please out of respect to her family and those closest to her..do not start throwing that around. i have had multiple people say this or ask me what she did die of and it is no ones business. she was an amazing, wonderful and incredible person and her cause of death is no ones business. and since im sure theres going to be someone at least someone saying something about how would i know...im Hex Hypoxia. im the one in her pictures..the ones that say her wife. if there is an issue about anything ive said..im pretty easy to find. whatever anyone is going to be going on about..leave the overdose stuff out of it. its not true..and very disrespectful.
On 11/4/2009 1:18:20 PM, Anonymous said:Well from what her friends and husband said she did die of an overdose of atleast she took excstasy that nite so I dont know what you would call it?Im going by what The new Toxxxic told me and if people are gonna be disrespecting him then lets all get fucked up and not have respect. Take a look in the mirror I bet you that boy is prettier than you compare your'e face and pics with his and see who looks better. Anyways im not trying to say he's perfect but no one is and I like him alot as a freind and he is just as incredible as her and had alot of the same things in common with her from what I heard. I know he made police reports on all of you, you know who you are and the fbi will be handling this so just watch what you say or do. I like him on Jerry was verrrry cute, pretty, and beautiful as well as a good message and inspiring to me and my kids and husband.As well he told the story on jerry on how he took the name in memory of her and was her biggest fan and for her to r.i.p and for all the haters to hate cause he likes that alot and doesn't care what anyone thinks.EVERYONE in the audience loved him and thought he was pretty even men, teachers, etc.

On 11/10/2009 1:59:29 PM, Anonymous said:disgrace to sara. he doesn have what it takes to carry saras name.. no one should have saras name but saras wife. all of you talking nonsense about things you dont understand should stay quiet. sara wouldnt have wanted him to take her name.. plus this guy isnt cyber and hes not a yamamba/ganguro. you dont go around fucking up other peoples styles or stealing other peoples pics and claiming youre that individual. he does it to lady gaga, yamambas/ ganguros from the EGG and Angeleek mags and forums.. its disgusting.. be an individual.for christ sake.. dont try to be other people and spit all over saras memory . AND HAVE RESPECT FOR SARA HER BUSINESS SHOULD NTO BE ALL OVER THE INTERNET!
On 11/10/2009 2:12:50 PM, Anonymous said:lol! Damn this kid can grab yall's attention.Thats a good thing though! I think he doe's it for fun and to get the attention from what it looks like but yeah if anyone didn't want anyones buisness on the internet then they should have chilled i.e. the anonymous users who are deep in whatever scene and saying stuff that ended up to everyone now knowing what really happened. Shocking it is. But yeah he still rocks though. I think yall should leave it in the past and let him do his thing.he obviously does not associate with yall and doesn't care yall are the ones all worried and trying to get in the fame.
On 11/10/2009 2:17:27 PM, Anonymous said:He took a nick name not her full name anyone could have that name and anyways she passed away with the name Tara Bull not Toxxic.He is not claiming to be her just has her tagged in his space but still owns his name Joey Gotti or psyberboi, but he does live up to the name and yeah who knows what she would have said?
On 11/10/2009 2:30:06 PM, Anonymous said:saras friend s and those of us who where close to her know what she wouldve said.. clearly you have nothing to do with the situation and should disregard all interest in particular parts of the conversation..
im not saying he's a downright douche or anything. i just find his "cloning" to be in bad taste. he has alot of unique qualities but when he talks about aspects of tokyo fashion he doesnt understand and makes false claims it makes him tacky. keep fighting the fashion barriers man.. just stop posing as people youre not
On 11/11/2009 11:33:02 AM, Anonymous said:Well I know he's from L.A. and cloning is a big thing the party kids do there for fun, I dont know about tokyo but I seen him in yamamba fashion at first I thought he said your'e mama and i was like what, Then he told me to google it and I did and alot of them do look like they are cloning each other anyways and look alike so I dont see why they would mind half them look identical, but we are in the u.s.a. and have freedom to do whatever we want. I still like his taste no matter what after I seen him on tv and on some other magazine i thought he was the kraziest,coolest and I dont think he's a poser just likes shock value is what he told me. But yeah fashion is fashion and obviously yall like the same types or have some of the same interset that he does.

Thats good he reported those threats to the FBI thats the best you can do so they have a record and also those people will be pissing thier pants when they come knocking at there door at 3 in the morning.Threats are a huge crime now since sept.11 tragedy.Also I think he looks good in both magazines and whoever disagrees is a H A T E R! Im straight and have a wife and still love to go visit Toxxic at work and see his beautiful face and smile. He gives me good energy and always there for me.Your'e pet scorpion. Scorpio
