Creative Loafing: So, Merry Stripmas is this Saturday. What does it mean when you say, 'everybody gets scrooged?'
Big Mamma D: I kind of based a lot of the acts, especially the opening act, on the original movie Scrooged. There is a lot of Victorian dresses and stuff like that. I've done some theme work with the movie Scrooged and that was kind of my inspiration for this Merry Stripmas Show. Every year I have a different inspiration for the show.
This show features the return of Lola Midnight, who is she?
Lola Midnight was with us for all of 2008 and her last show was in February 09. She hasn't done a show with us since then. When she left, people kept asking what happen to (Lola Midnight), because she is just so talented and people wanted to know where she was. When she said that she was interested in coming back for a couple of shows, I was like, yes, yes, yes. She's a classically trained dancer, so her movements are just special on stage.
Tell us about your other special guests.
White Lightin comes in from Knoxville and they are a wonderful troupe. This time we're bringing Mizz Kitty back from White Lightin and she's doing a lot of real neat acts. One is to Elvis's "Blue Christmas" and one is to "Feliz Navidad." She is, again, another super talented girl and everybody knows her, so it was exciting to get her back in again.
Who is opening the show this weekend?
You know about Robot Johnson. Well, they are opening the show for us. Robot Johnson is Charlotte's premiere sketch comedy group. They've been doing shows at CAST theater and I wanted to get them in there because they have just signed a 13-episode deal to go on the Speed Network to do a clip show. So this is your chance to see them before they are on TV. Doors open at 8 p.m. and they go on at 9 p.m. So, you get a chance to see 45 minutes of Robot Johnson doing their wonderful sketch comedy. They have prepared some special woman-centric type acts for our show.
Want to go to the Stripmus and see how Big Mamma D and her girls "hang their stockings?" Then head over to the Visulite this Saturday. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 the day of the show.

When I thought this bullshit couldn't get any more pathetic, the groom wrote this on his You Tube description of the video:
This was just done to be funny - we really don't Facebook THAT often :).I have a lot of family scattered around the country and we all use Facebook a lot to keep in touch. So when Tracy and I were engaged, most of my family found out via Facebook because we updated our statuses.
I surprised not only my guests, but also Tracy by pulling out my phone and posting on Facebook and Twitter from the altar during out wedding.
I had her phone ready in my pocket, so when she asked for it I could hand it to her. No one knew about this except the minister, and myself.
Whatever. This marriage screams EPIC FAIL.
I'm not going to say I'm anti-marriage. But I've been in and invited to enough weddings to know that the ceremony is a bunch of bull.
The wedding is just a chance to show off. You're telling all of your friends and family that you finally snagged one.
But showing off can go too far.
Take the groom updating his relationship status on Facebook at the fucking altar? Are you kidding me?
Can you imagine what the Facebook updates from the honeymoon are going to look like?
Him: Just ate my wife's pussy and my face is all shiny.
Her: I just peed on my lame ass husband. Why did I marry this douche?
But they aren't as bad as the attention seeking bride in the too small dress. Please tell me you saw this crap.
I can't imagine her dad walking her down the aisle in this "dress." And the dumb ass husband just stands there while everyone in the world looks at his wife's breasts. I know these two have a sex tape. I hope they never have kids. Because you're never going to be able to tell your teenage daughter not to dress like a slut when she looks into your wedding photo album.
Yes, times have changed, but if you're going to have a wedding, try to show some class and not your ass.

I thought Tiger Woods was smart.
Golf is a thinking man's game, right? So why didn't he think about the kind of woman he wanted to cheat on his wife with?
Tiger, you're famous and you hang out with a lot of famous women who, if you'd fuck them, would shut up about it. Why?
They have just as much to lose as you do.
And you wouldn't have to say lame shit like this:
"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart," says Woods in the statement. "I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone."
He adds he will "strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology."
Besides, Tiger and other famous cheaters, did Steve McNair not teach you anything? You have millions of dollars in the bank, the hot waitress/hostess/stripper that is making about $20,000 a year (if that) is going to either kill you or sell your ass out.
USATODAY, US Weekly and everybody else is reporting that Tiger's side booty was:
Jaimee Grubbs, 24. Grubbs told the magazine she had 31-month affair with the world's highest-paid athlete. Grubbs claimed she had a voicemail, and 300 text messages allegedly from Woods, to prove it.
If Elin Woods went through Tiger's phone and found the numbers and things from women, she might have gone ape shit and ran out with a golf club to beat up his car. Tiger was just trying to save the pimp mobile.
But what he should be thinking about is saving his life. I have to say it again Steve McNair.
So, here's what you famous people men and women who can't sleep with the same person need to do. Only have affairs with affluent people who don't need your money.
Just fuck people who are on your level. Stay away from waitresses, they save text messages and will sell them when you cut off the funds. And better still, keep your married hands to your selfish self!

If you're having sex, you need to get tested. And if you've been wondering where to do or questioning if you should get tested, pay attention.
First, go get tested. Even if you practice safe sex, you need to know your status. HIV is no joke. There may have been advancements in treatments, but this is a serious disease that there is no cure for. It's the responsible thing to do.
Second, here are some sites in Charlotte where you can go and get tested:
The Mecklenburg County Health Department.
The Lesbian and Gay Community Center.
Request a Test: Appointment required.
You have to know your status. And on World AIDS Day, you should go and get tested.
Here are some sobering facts about HIV in Mecklenburg County:
From 1999 to 2007 HIV cases increased by 57%
Mecklenburg County has the highest number of HIV/AIDS cases in North Carolina.
Still worried about getting tested?
