The thought of being a NYC expatriate has crossed my mind many times as of late. I too was at the Winter Music Conference in March in sunny Miami, and I had some of the best club experiences I have EVER had in my life. Powerhouse DJs and clubgoers from the around the world brought back many fond memories for me of the NYC club scene in the late 80s when I first moved here. In particular at Miami's Club Space and Crow Bar, I was surrounded by a glamorous, friendly, diverse, international jet-set crowd and I felt like I was in Ibiza or Milan ... it was FABULOUS. I read with sadness Lady Bunny's comments about the decreasing glamour here in NYC, citing that as one of her reasons for stopping Wigstock, but I was forced to agree with her. The hardcore glamour personfified at spaces like Mother and Club USA (does anyone remember that place??) seems to be vanishing, and though I try hard to represent myself and will continue to, I feel as though Europe may be the only alternative left for this kind of experience, in particular London, Berlin, Paris and Milan. I have no immediate plans to leave NYC, I still hope things can change and turn around. But I have heard the call of Europe ....
