Ace Hotel

Linda Gerard is a magician — she can turn any frown upside down and make the most wonton among us blush like a little girl. She’s a sailor-mouthed, velvet-handed, self-identified O.W.L. (older, wiser lesbian) and she’s one of our heros. Every Monday night at Ace Hotel & Swim Club, you can see Linda in all her glory as the singular hostess of Sissy Bingo (occasionally R-rated) where she serenades and scandalizes a rapt and devoted troupe of players. Prizes include champagne, homemade cookies and flattering attention from Linda (a hot commodity around these parts).
Tonight is a special edition of Sissy Bingo wherein Linda-devotee Conor Fetting-Smith will film Linda for his documentary about SoCal bingo culture. All bottles of wine are half off from 7-9pm in King’s Highway, but your contribution to bingo history will be priceless.

We wrapped up HANDS ON with Hard French (SF) by the pool with Heineken Light specials, a stint at the parade with the Ace team, Jackie Beat live in the Amigo Room, and Linda’s R-Rated Sissy Bingo in King’s Highway. Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us in the desert.

Some shots from Sissy Bingo with the one and only Linda Gerard aka Linda Fabulous. Every Monday night in King’s Highway at Ace Hotel & Swim Club, Linda serenades and scandalizes a captivated crowd, busting out in rapturous melodies when the mood strikes. As the lady in the fur hat said on this particular evening, “I love that I can walk into a place in Palm Springs and stumble into gay showtunes bingo.” If you’re in the neighborhood, do yourself a kindness and come by for a burger. You could win champagne, homemade cookies, or even a once-in-a-lifetime pat on the shoulder as Linda sails by your table hitting a high note.

» ANDREWANDREW GUEST POST «

AndrewAndrew found a living legend at The Ace Hotel in Palm Springs! Linda is the hostess at the King’s Highway Cafe and she servers up a steaming platter of pure charm and talent. Watch AndrewAndrew and Linda talk shop — a shop that features Broadway, fashion (with a capital F!), Elton John, and Barbra Streisand. Just don’t complain to her about the wait…

Linda also hosts Rose Tattoo Bingo every Monday night in the Amigo Room, where she scandalizes, charms, and bestows prizes.


If you haven’t met Linda Fabulous yet, you haven’t really lived. She fills Ace Hotel & Swim club with her energy, her enormous sunglasses, and her flamboyant style. And she has a way with Judy Garland tunes.

Every Monday night, Linda hosts Rose Tattoo Bingo, a hit with locals and visitors, in the Amigo Room.
