During the creation and execution of The Divine Diva Tour: A Fairy’s Tale (2004 to 2005) my brother was living in Miami, Florida, and I made a couple of visits to see him. That Miami vibe crept into some aspects of the fairy’s tale, as evidenced by the photos here, taken by photographer Dennis Dean. 

Dennis and I had corresponded back when my website was just taking off, and he was gracious enough to do a photo shoot on one of my visits. My brother drove us to his home, where we took some photos, and Dennis asked my brother to join in for some of the shoot, which was fun (I was completely floored that my brother was game for it). Miami had long passed the crest of its mid-90’s cool factor, and I was already almost aged out of the club scene by then (not that I was ever even into any club scene), so it was amusing to simply witness it from a distance. There were other things that attracted my interest then, such as the tropical plants that grew so casually outside, or the mesmerizing pull of the ocean just across the street from the Art Deco stretch of hotels. 

I would return there on an official Divine Diva Tour stop, carrying this cumbersome binder of a tour book with me. Miami has its darker underside too, but that’s a different tale for a different project.
