Meet Armand. He lives in a nest above a salsa dance studio. He knew he was special in high school when he mastered cutting bangs on the girls in drama class (he calls that his first gang bang). He memorized all the choreography to Britney Spears’s “. . . Baby One More Time” and, when given enough tequila, will perform the whole damn thang at the whisper-level of “oh, baby, baby.” Armand can spot fake bags from a mile away and he gets nauseous when he sees foam platform flip-flops. He had to be taken to the hospital once because he tried to give himself a bikini wax with a DIY kit. He had to have his best friend Jean (pronounced Shawn) disable his Grindr account because it became a problemo. Lil’ Bang Bang can COOK. His specialty is Cuban food, but he has also mastered cooking up trouble. He is not easily provoked, but if he chirps “LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, HONEY,” shit’s about to go down. Armand wears sequins to brunch and is helpless in front of a bottomless mimosa. Overall, Armand is a very approachable bird. He is fun and loyal, but do not approach with platform flip-flops or a perm of any sort.
