Re: NYC Expatriates Topic
I'm kind of with Lux on this one. I love South Beach. I really do. I happen to love a white thong, half glimpsed under see-through white pants on a J-Lo bimbo butt with a Donatella head. And I love the Guido Meat Heads in baseball caps that follow them like sea gulls around a dead fish. It's hot! Yes, I was harassed by the police twice for not carrying an ID. (And yes, one time was at the beach at Five PM, rediculious! I had on a bathing suit!) The cops are pigs, so are the girls! So are the...

Re: Mondo Internet
hells bells, am I supposed to be ashamed of expressing my feeling about the drag? Im hurt by the notion that I'd deny the girl her skank fetish. Who's the victim here? I happen to think a girl should look pretty from head to toe, but that's just me. I hate the drag, but respect the queen. I must say I didn't think she was real. Isn't there a 'skirtman' a few postings earlier? Also I reject the notion that the package 'belongs out in front or whatever she/he said. But I retract the personal...

Re: Miss Understood's Hi from Thailand
Thre are a few different kinds of drag shows here. There are the gay club shows, the hooker bar shows, and the huge flashy Vegasy shows referred to as "Cabaret." The huge shows are amazing. While they don't incorporate the intentional sense of irony that we NYers love so much in a show, they are SO excessive and overdone that they don't need it. They emulate big splashy musical and music videos. Every number had over 20 dancers in huge, HUGE, costumes. The set keeps changing like on...

Re: Love Machine
It is quite different from Love Machine but you did hear right in a way - Larry Tee ex DJ of Love Machine does a party in Brooklyn on Saturday nights at a punk club called Luxx. Its in Williamsburg and last time I went Dee Finley (J60 butch legend) was working there at the door. Recently known for his "Electroclash" music (which should be familiar to ex-Click regulars its a similar soundtrack to Load Rezenhands) Larry is definitely back on the scene.

Re: Fashion, Sweetie
You would LIVE for the Indian market area in Bangkok. It's so mysterious! There's a huge block of gorgeous shops that you can walk around, but it's the gritty market maze within the block that's so fascinating. You walk around, getting lost, weaving be tween the indoor and outdoor, accepting the uncomfortable heat, stumbling upon all sorts of hidden treasures. And, as always, everything's crazy cheap! I guess it's the closest we can get to India for the time being. I feel terrible about...

Re: The Club Creatures - Zazoo & Satori
A bit of explanation... Mark Twain is said to have once wrote: "When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Cincinnati because it's always 20 years behind the times." This still holds true.

Re: GG barnum room
one would enter through the long skinny bar all lined up with the beautiful girls and their long legs checking out the new action coming in the door. So exciting! Never were the ladies at a t-bar so alluring. Then to the disco back room and then turn the corner to the main trapeze disco. it was the site of the original, and new wave remake of the Peppermint Lounge. There was always something ready willing and able to happen.

Re: David Wojnarowicz - Artist
Hey Tanya, unfortunately, the review is about the film Cabaret and the Brian in question is the Michael York character. Translated it might be something like this: "And thus Brian leaves Berlin which is already in the firm hand of the Nazis." Due to the "wacky" nature of this passage in German, Brian and Berlin just happen to fall side-by-side! There are a million free translation apps out there, like Alta Vista, if you get stuck.

I too have been unable to relate to that stretch of Broadway now for over three or four years. I find myself walking faster on those blocks just to get past it in a hurry.

Maybe this is too naked-assed obvious, especially to say on these boards, but, this social turmoil is not because of a fear about what will happen to the institution of marriage, it is a fear about gays and lesbians. And that point, as plain as it may be to most here, needs to be yelled out very loudly. You do not hear this said plainly at all by any of the voices of the official media. If and when the whole 'gay marriage' turmoil is resolved socially and legally (but really it is almost...
