Ray Alvarez, the hard-working proprietor of Ray's Candy Store, turned 87 on Jan. 25.
And as is tradition dating to 2007, a group of Ray's friends/regulars hosted a birthday extravaganza inside the shop at 113 Avenue A last night. (The festivities were a little later this year after Ray's recent hospitalization.)
This year's theme: the golden age of burlesque. And on hand last night to help Ray celebrate (in order of appearance below):
• Pearls Daily
• Peekaboo Pointe
• Gal Friday
• Stormy Leather
• The Maine Attraction

Happy birthday, Ray!

YAAAAAAHHHH!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELOVED RAY!!! thanks to whoever the genius is who makes this happen, to the beautiful dancers, and to the wonderful stacy joy for photographing and the grieve for sharing!
I've always wondered if Ray has a wife or a partner. If not, we need to play matchmaker. He is such a sweetheart!
Ray has about 27 wives..he says I am his 7th one. Go me!
