Basically, he was Candace Bushnell (the author of <i>Sex and the City</i>) of the late 1970s except he's a gay man who doesn't seem to have a Manolo Blahnik obsession--that we know of. He even had a character named Connie Bradshaw. Hmmm...draw your own conclusions. <p>Maupin is also a pioneer for the LGBT community because during a time when these topics were still considered taboo, he wrote about the random sex, gay men, lesbian socialites, transsexuals, and AIDS. Yet he always made love--searching for it, having it, losing it-- juliana 2007-07-25T12:43:47-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/1/15/44118/9362 <![CDATA[<p><i>Travel writer Michael de Zayas is in Miami on an assignment--30 Miami hotels in 30 Miami nights. You will be able to find his detailed travel musings in Miami and Miami Beach books later this year. HotelChatter asked Michael to let us know his minute-by-minute thoughts on the Miami hotel scene during his guide book mission, which he will be doing over the next two weeks. During the fortnight, Michael will share with us every bed, maid, drink, pool, henhouse and outhouse that comprise the Grove, Gables, Sunny Isles, North Beach, South Beach and the Key Biscayne hotel scene in 2007.
