Grace Period. Lives on E. 2nd. Not a big club scenester. Saw her total transformation from Ken, a successful architect from the upper west side, married, big condo. Took about five years. Went through hormones, wardrobe evolutions. Then the op, and passed really easily. She really blossomed afterward on the LES underground poetry diveline. Did totally hilarious house romping joke poems with a poison cartoon edge. She had a submissive biological boyfriend, Rico, a gym queen tatted and gorgeous. Grace does sound for indy movies now and is off the poetry circuit (not really much of it left compared to back then). She kept a pet blue bunny that got that color after she took to painting her apartment by using a long handled mop she just flung around after painting the place orange. I always feel good chatting with her because she gives off that liveliness a person does after they have really found out who they are. Kind of inspiring. Maybe Bobby remembers her from downtown poetry.
