Re: Miss Understood's Hi from Thailand
Missy, Just so you know. The "Rich Hippie Look" is back. Bergdorf's is featuring sequin & rhinestone Tailand Tourist Tee shirts for Spring / Summer. (I mean the real street tourist tee shirts). You may want to bring some back to sell to girls going to Studio 54 on Saturday.

Re: The Palladium
I know I said that I never liked The Palladium but that's not really true. I didn't like the "trying to pretend it's Studio 54" thing that permiated the first year or so. The Steve & Ian "VIP room to nowhere" sort of thing. (If it wasn't for Haoui Montaug running the door it would have been a TOTAL nightmare) but... I DJ'd there for many years and have to say there were some brilliant things about the place too. The tech for instance -lights, video, staging etc. was the best I've ever...

Re: Party Monster - Michael Alig
I certainly agree that the film is supposed to be about one person and one story and that's totally fine. It's unrealistic and (from an artistic standpoint) inadvisable to try and portray everything and every scene going on during that time. The scope would be too wide and it would be confusing. It makes perfect sense for the producers to have focused on one aspect of it, in this case the Alig scene. What I meant by my comments about the diversity of NYC nightlife back then was that it's...

Re: RIP, VIP
The great fashion photographer, Francesco Scavullo died yesterday in his New York home. His companion of thirty years, Sean Byrnes was at his side. He was 81 years old and his heart gave out. Francesco was an amazing person. So full of love and kindness and great humor. I knew him well in the seventies during the Studio 54 years and rarely saw him after. He worked in Manhattan all of his life. He shot every cover for thirty years of Cosmopolitan Magazine and used such great stylists as Make...

Re: DV by Diana Vreeland
Oh Daddy...$800 at Bergdorf's...well..Duh.. Everything at Bergdorfs is $800. I bought an eyeliner pencil there that normally cost $12 at Mac ( which is overly marked up to begin with) but at Bergies it was $24. But I do like their window displays. And as for Ms. Vreeland, I have photos in my archives that will make you pee.I took them during the 70's in NYC when she was still walking around and could be found at Studio 54 so many nights. I promise to post them as soon as I pull them.

Re: Provincetown
Bobby! Crazy weather...global warming, you think?? Pretty soon Manhattan will be a tropical island! Can you imagine. But I'm writing to tell you that as I was weeding through stuff I found a postcard invite for a show you had many eons ago. It was the postcard invite for a show of photographs taken in Sudio 54. The invite photo had Olivia Newton John and Elton John. I then proceeded to tack it onto my fridge. Just wanted to let you know that. Missing you and Happy Holidays. Love XXOXOXOXXX, ...

Re: Provincetown
Julian sweetie, Yeah...global warming seems about right to me. Where are you btw? Today is sunny and warm here and I'm 60 miles out in the ocean. Yes that invite was from 1998 when my Studio 54 book first came out. Save it hons, you never know what the future holds for us on ebay! Missing you too.

Re: Wanted: Memories Of The Pyramid Club, 1981-1985
As Francesca (the infamous sex-change beauty from Studio 54) told me... "Disco is out, New Wave is in. We only listen to New Wave now". Of course this was in like 1987 when, as Miss Understood pointed out, the New Wave scene was over. What she was reacting to was the revolution caused single-handedly by The Pyramid Queens. "Uptown" was out and "Downtown" was definitely in. It really was a revolution.

Eve Ensler of the Vagina Monologues is not a 'socialite'... she is a very productive writer, artist and activist who works very, very hard for lesbian and Transgender politics as well as the rights of women!
