Dorothy Has Friends in Santa Fe

April 2, 2010 by · 8 Comments

Fast forward to the present. We are here! And we are queer! No longer feeling the need for secrecy, Friends of Dorothy gatherings have become a huge social network across the globe and its presence in Santa Fe is no different. The group meets once a month on Friday’s at 6pm onwards and is attended by 200 – 250 members of Santa Fe’s gay community.

It is hosted by a different venue each month including such places as Ecantado Resort, Las Posada, Inn and Spa at Loretto,  Santa Fe Capital Grill, Bishops Lodge Resort & Spa just to name a few. The hosting company generously supplies the group with an array of appetizers.

In the winter months we enjoy the warmth of the roaring fires inside while watching the snow gently fall on Santa Fe. During the summer months we gather outside sipping cocktails while watching the gorgeous Santa Fe sunsets magically appear before setting behind the mountains. Finally the clear night overhead gives way to millions of stars which is not to be missed.

Friends of Dorothy is a great opportunity to meet new friends, see old friends and connect with Santa Fe’s gay community in a beautiful setting.  If you are visiting Santa Fe and want information on attending  or for more information on enjoying the Gay Life in Santa Fe CLICK HERE

Santa Fe New Mexico: Gay Life in Aldea

January 3, 2010 by · 3 Comments

Santa Fe is becoming the Gay Mecca! More and more gay couples are moving to the area either to retire, to buy a second home or even a third. With prices at recent history lows, plenty of inventory and great interest rates, we have experienced a boom to our business in 2009 with gay couples purchasing real estate in Santa Fe like we have not seen in the past.  As 2010 begins we are already seeing signs the market is cycling up again.

Aldea is one of the Santa Fe neighborhoods that have experienced a boom in the last few years of home ownership by gays. The large number of LGBT homeowners who have taken advantage of this buyers market in Aldea have done so either as full time residents, or as part time residents by purchasing a second or third home with the hope of retiring in the next three, five or ten years and who did not want to miss out in this extraordinary buying opportunity.

The many same-sex couples enjoying the gay life in Santa Fe and that we have sold homes to,  have expressed to us their primary reasoning for purchasing in Aldea was the sense of community present in this neighborhood as well as pride of home ownership. Other factors in purchasing in this community that remain high on their lists was the diversity in product that Aldea had to offer such as town homes, garden homes, single family homes as well as estate homes too.

One such estate home that is currently available for purchase is the property located at 6 Calle Siete Casas in Aldea. Old World finishes and dramatic spaces grace this sophisticated and prestigious home. For the gay couple who enjoys expansive mountain views or prefers to have a private guest suite to share with others, this home has the best of everything Santa Fe has to offer. For the savvy buyer who doesn’t want to be left in the dust as the next housing upswing occurs or for more information on this property CLICK HERE.

December 8th, 2009:   “Speak Softly and Carry a Small Stick: The Art of the Conductor” Tuesday, December 8th, from 5:30pm to 7pm

Imagine that you are sitting in an audience, watching a penguin with a baton, standing in front of 114 other penguins, all with musical instruments in their flippers. Suddenly, you are the penguin at which all of the others are staring. Now imagine you are standing in front of a 114-piece orchestra with nothing but a small white stick in your hand. What next? Do you scream, stamp your feet, or close your eyes and simply pray?

Join us in discovering just what the person behind the baton really does! Our presenter, Roy Rogosin, has a unique perspective for a conductor. He has conducted for motion pictures, television, celebrities (including Johnny Mathis and composer Michel Legrand), the stage…and the White House. He has conducted internationally in Europe, South America, and Asia, as well as throughout the United States.

Join us for what we know will be an informative, fun (and probably gossipy) explication of “The Art of the Conductor.” We are delighted that this will be the first guild program to be presented in collaboration with RainbowVision Santa Fe at RainbowVision, 500 Rodeo Road , Santa Fe 87505 Guild members may attend free of charge. RainbowVision residents: $5; Non-members: $10 To reserve your seat, RSVP by December 1st (as space is limited) to: EducationVP@santafeoperaguild.org or (505) 629-1410 ext. 11 One-year Guild membership is available at the door: $35 (single); $60 (double) A no-host cash bar will be open during the meeting.
