Reply to "Todd Tomarrow"

In our Nightworld, there are two kinds of artists - those who labor over their own creations, and then those who add their talents to the creation of something larger than themselves. Todd was as brilliant as they come, but his art was in service to the collective, to the creation of club/art/style movements. That is why so many of you won't know his name, but you know his work.

 

I'd like to point out his enormous contributions to the following over two decades -

 

BoyBar (three of his Miss Boybar gowns sit in our storage ready for an October show), Jackie 60, as a prolific and gifted costumer and performer for countless themes

Blacklips, see Hattie's remembrance above

Heroes and Click + Drag at MOTHER, as doorperson and frequent performer

The Downtown Costume Institute, reconstructions of other great club costumers (i.e. Leigh Bowery)

 

and then there was Broadway, and then in SF, - the opera and more.

So much more. RIP, indeed.
