This is how a nifty idea takes off.
Dallas PR honcho Cooper Smith, above, started his queer version of Daily Candy last October. And the original concept was to conquer North Texas and then go national. That’s what he’s doing: Smith has already launched the New York City version.
The Dallas’ Gay List is a great Monday-Friday source for what to do with your spare time. And the copy is pretty sassy: They’re not afraid to connect the Texas State Fair to deepthroating Fletcher’s Corny Dogs…
Smith says the next cities are: Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta. For more, visit GayListDaily.com

Thanks for the shout-out!
The thing about GLD is, it’s not really offering much that’s new, exciting or gay. And if it’s only to catch a sassy comment about the Fair hot dogs, then I think my inbox can do without it.
At first, I thought it was going to promote gay and gay-friendly stuff around town but instead, it merely lists stuff that has just appeared in the newspaper already (a la today’s review of Sorbeteria Dallas that was in last week’s Quick) or some uninspired novelty that needed to be typed up before deadline (like the desperate preview piece early last month – Boring Weekend Disorder).
Really?
With the Guide, Pegasus, Observer and Voice, it’s already hard to list something new, but it just seems like if he’s going to snag a gay niche, that it would be a bit more inspired than merely adding pink and sass all around something we’ve already heard before. Surprise! A Sex and the City movie item. Didn’t see that coming! Nope. Not. At. All.
Now tell me something I don’t know.
Your right Rich! Everytime my drag persona, Tahitian Noni, does a performance they’d rather spotlight some other sad event i read about weeks ago. This hot ghetto trash is not having it!!
Love u DK

Thanks but no thanks. If I have to do your job for you, I needs to get paid.
