The November edition of CLICK + DRAG, FREAKS FOR FREEDOM, is a
night of fun, glitter and self-expression, as this much-loved
futurist monthly so often is. This particular edition, though,
celebrates a right that we have taken for granted for a long time
- the right to self-express through dress and lifestyle on
evenings like this, and it is also a fundraiser for the
courageous women of R.A.W.A., the Revolutionary Association of
the Women of Afghanistan.
Producer ROB ROTH explains "I was horrified by a documentary I
saw where the Afghan women had to hide in a secret location just
to put on makeup and do their hair. I don't know why that
affected me so much - considering all the other awful footage of
executions and torture of women and homosexuals - but the fact
that these people cant even put on lipstick for fear of being
killed was devastating." And so the idea for this night was born.
The night will feature performances including MARLA BELT applying
makeup as go-go, a female duo called AVENUE D performing booty-
inspired rap, THE RADICAL FAERIES spirited go-go, painted
Priestess JOEY ARIAS, and other acts still being shaped including
an AFGHANI LIBERATION STRIPTEASE. DJs LOAD REZENHAND and SAMMY JO
will spin "jackin'dark-core- intergalactic-elektro-freqbeats" for
this most special edition, and ROB ROTH will turn out the
visuals.
All door profits will be donated directly to RAWA. Larger
donations gratefully accepted. The hastily formed host committee
for this event includes THE RADICAL FAERIES, Click co-producer
KITTY BOOTS and Editrix CHI CHI VALENTI, JUSTIN BOND, LILY OF THE
VALLEY, *BOB*, and THEO.
Strict Dress Code: Boas, lashes, glitter, beads, cyberslut,
