Wicked Manors A Haunting Success
By John Hayden

Wicked Manors was a successful who’s who of Greater Wilton Manors, because the costumes were so fabulous you couldn’t tell who’s who!
The party started at 6 p.m. By 7 p.m. there was about a five-minute line to get in. By 9 p.m. the line stretched a block down The Drive, but the brief wait was worth it. Once inside, scare seekers were greeted by the coolest costume collection in all South Florida.
You could spot Hank Causey and Lou Layton from anywhere on the drive. They were in sprawling, gold lamée outfits with wings that were liable to knock an eye out. Think "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" meets Wicked Manors.
“When we travel, we like to see the themes of the party,” the Fort Myers couple said.
The main stage was home of the four costume contests, starting with the kids’ contest at 6:30. From there, they got much more adult oriented.
Across the way, Alibi had a stage set up with gogo dancers who were feeling every beat.
On Hunters Nightclub’s side of the lot, they were packed to the gills. DJ Will Calder knows how to work a crowd and get them fired up, and fire them up he did.
“It was wonderful to see so many come out in support of The Pride Center and their local businesses,” Hunters’ Bruce Howe said the morning after. “It was a night to remember.”

InTarotGate by Dooney
The Empress and The Lovers signal a time of elevated interest in contributing to the growth of a close relationship. However, there is still an aura of disconnect with that person, likely stemming, as the reversed Sun indicates, from a lack of clarity as to what this relationship needs from you, if it is even worth pursuing. Are you acting against your deeper values and planting seeds on infertile soil, instead of being true to yourself? The Lovers card beckons you to find what you seek first within yourself, rather than in the mirror of that person. Focusing on your needs and growth right now will create the right environment for you to regain clarity and decide whether this relationship and what it requires from you aligns with your true self.
