Re: NYC Expatriates Topic
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...

Re: Fashion, Sweetie
Hey Gobs, I wore your "Glamour Goblins" T-shirt to an A-list fashion party, sweetie darling, hoping to have it featured like you requested. I was sitting next to Monica Lawinski, no photos were taken but maybe it will end up in Page Six or something. Alas no Hilton sisters though! But I bet you next year the Dolce & Gabanna show will be featuring rhinestone encrusted "Glamour Goblin" T-shirts

Re: BURNING MAN
I'm still spinning from the 10,000 miles I must have traveled in the last 24 hours. So I thought I would try to express some of the strange visions in my head. After driving a van for 10 hours straight, through the desert, buzzing on double shots of espresso and listening to bad radio so as not to drive off the road and into the abyss of darkness, I finally arrived in LA at 3 am. Took a plane at 3 pm and now I'm back in NYC. I'm sure Goblin will have many posts soon, but I thought I would...

Re: Beams To Bobby Part 2
It was a brilliant night last Wednesday at Chez, as I knew it would be. Beforehand I was so exhausted, right up until the last second before the car service pulled up downstairs I almost didn't make it out of my bed. But the instant I walked into Chez *boom!* it all hit me, a heavy dose of glamour and genius in one fell swoop. I'm so glad I dragged my tired skinny ass out of bed. Bobby, you were GREAT and your new work is some of the best I've ever heard from you. I WILL NOT CRY! your fan, LEX

Re: Liquid Sky
Here's the story. I actually had a big(er) part. I think I was suppose to play the club owner. (funny how things work out) I just couldn't get up in time to ever make my scenes. See I had just met this bleach blonde glamour girl named Chi Chi Valenti and SHE WORE ME OUT!!!!!!!! So by the time I got to the club (it was called The Cavern BTW) the crazy Russian director had already shot my scenes. (I would have done the same thing). I then played some other character and had a line or two. The...

Re: Party Monster - Michael Alig
As per the glamourization of murder, there is no doubt stories of murder and serial killing, etc. are very 'entertaining' but there are limits. E.g. Jack the Ripper -- I wanted to go walking around the area in London one afternoon, and went into a local Information kiosk. The woman would not tell me ANYTHING at all, no directions towards streets, etc. and only urged me to go on a guided tour (they are all at night.) She glared at me like I was a ghoul. I guess I was. I found some things...

Re: boy george
At first I thought he might have been so tweaked that he didn't know what was happening and called the cops. But it's totally possible that someone left it there, especially if it's club people coming and going at all hours (duh!). My former uptown bachelor pad was host to many a nefarious 5 a.m. transgression involving "houseguests" back in the day LOL .... Another likely explanation is that the cops recognized George (tweaked or not) and simply wanted a good story to gossip about back at...

Re: Your favorite Jackie theme?
I've got to weigh in on this one, belatedly (maybe in a ressurectionist posting here), although the Jackie movie is still in progress(?) Yes, the Post-Apocalyptic Xmas was devine - Ambrosia gift-wrapped me in red Serran-Wrap on-stage that night. The "Jackie;s Baby" was also a classic and pure Jackie genius, with the evil stroller, J. Constantine and Basil's puppet child. "I'm Not a Cokewhore" - also a big fave. But I'd have to give the top honors to the Queen of Baltimore, or something along...

Re: BoyBar
There was always a certain BoyBar/Pyramid rivalry, even from day one. As well as an incredible cross-pollination. I, of course, adored the glamour and spectacle that was BB, and was honored when Matthew invited me into several BB shows. Glamour? Me? BTW, Tanya Ransom and I went to the newly opened BoyBar once and were told by the staff, "No drag queens allowed!" Then Matthew Kasten came along and changed all that. And... Do you know who the first Miss BoyBar was? None other than Hapi Phace!

Re: BoyBar
I went to both Black Lips and Boy Bar, and while I appreciated Black Lips and thought it was genius, I always preferred Boy Bar. Of course in those days I was merely a spectator, until my stint in Louis Quatorze during the Channel 69/early Jackie era. But a huge fan nonetheless. Black Lips got too weird and kooky for my tastes sometimes. Boy Bar combined the camp of a traditional drag bar, with the unique sophistication and genius you only find in New York. The endless paegentry, the glamour...

Connie was Exitte long enough to perform at "Whispers" once or twice under that name, though we started calling her Exeunt to be very Shakepearean.

Re: BoyBar
I will never forget the first night Matthew turned me out in full glamour. I was wearing a wig that had belonged to Chrysis. Matthew did a huge waterfall comb out. Bobby beat my face within an inch of my life, LuLu took a hideous green taffeta bridesmaids dress and turned into a gorheous show dress. I believe it was Cody who took me in the back into the bathroom with the washer and dryer and taught me how to make tits. The feeling of walking in front of that mirror and seeing myself for the...
