15 Minutes of Shame

The delicious irony of Dirty Scottsdale is that the notorious Web site not only trashes the debaucherous denizens of the city’s nightlife scene but celebrates them at the same time.

The delicious irony of Dirty Scottsdale is that the notorious Web site not only trashes the debaucherous denizens of the city’s nightlife scene but celebrates them at the same time.

It’s why we’ll be first in line at Dirty Scottsdale’s “Pull Wool” Party, where we can finally meet such DS regulars as P-Nazi, Gumbi, G-Girl, and even Richie himself, who's scheduled to be in attendance. A “biggest douchebag” costume contest is planned, as is an Urban Angels fashion show.
