Logan Hardcore’s Poolside Birthday Celebration
By Kismet Joe

 

On Saturday, August 21st, in an effort to escape the unbearable heat while avoiding the mess of an ocean caused by Hurricane Bill, we decided to cool off in Cherry Grove, and catch the weekly poolside show at the Ice Palace, hosted by Logan Hardcore and Dallas Dubois. Little did we know we were in for a special show/party, being that it was our very own Ms. Hardcore’s birthday! The endless flow of cool refreshments did little to keep the

temperature low as the two ladies lashed into each other in the sarcastic manner we have come to love. It is Logan’s own proclamation that they are only doing the show together because “management” loves the fact that they hate each other. Their way of insulting each other is nothing less than comedic brilliance not seen since the days of Mr. and Mrs. Roper. Whether or not they love or hate each other, the crowd loves them together. It is their own need to compete with each other that brings each new number over the top of the last, ultimately landing both ladies in the pool numerous times, and after each of their costume changes.

For the special occasion of Logan’s birthday, a VIP pool area was set up alongside the main pool (the same pool my 2 year old niece has) where anyone who was not Dallas Dubois was invited to lounge. Logan’s mom even flew in for her baby’s birthday, although she decided to watch bar side, rather than in the VIP Pool. And no birthday would be complete without a cake, especially one with a large picture of Beyonce on it, and goodie bags filled with candy, bubbles, and stick on tattoos. We left happy, having next summer to look forward to, and hoping to death that these two can figure out a winter NYC performance with each other to get us through the next few months, sans pool of course!
