Re: Hattie Hathaway in Threepenny Opera
Why, thank you, kelly! Jim Dale is amazing to work with-- and the stories he tells! Just a note: one of the dances he does (after "The Song Of The Inadequacy Of Human Striving", when Carlos, me and Tiger Brown and his mugs on stage right glide off) is a version of a dance that Jim's father taught him and was, in turn, taught by his father. Jim worked with Aszure Barton to incorporate it into the song. So, what you are seeing is a dance that has roots in the 1830's-- or even earlier! A dance...

Damn she looks grizzled! What happened? I hope I don't look like that when I'm her age. Wait a minute... I AM her age! Oh well, I guess I can always walk around with dark glasses doing this.

????? 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! Given the general apathy for these issues, it's a good thing when entertainers like actors and other 'stars' come out for these issues. I don't think their efforts should be down-graded.

Re: Your favorite Jackie theme?
Oh Ilsa, you are killing me. I was just thinking about that theme tonight! It is definitely one of my very favorites. The Herstory: In the early 1980's I was marginally involved in the early Hip Hop scene. It was so great in those early daze. Hip Hop was new and VERY up beat. But by the late 80's / early 90's it was just starting to get dark and "thuggy". Rap Groups like "The Funky Four Plus One More" were being replaced with groups like "N.W.A." aka "Niggers With Attitude" (I do love that...

Re: But Darling I WAS a punk.
Reggae (the deep dub stuff) was VERY influential back then. It was the first thing that brought the worlds of "Disco/Club" and "Punk/Rock" together. For example... I came out of the whole Downtown, CBGB, Punk, No Wave, Art Rock thing. But I used to go to Discos like The Paradise Garage etc. and these were always two totally different worlds. UNTIL Dub Reggae. I was DJing at Danceteria by then and for the first time the 2 worlds came together musically. The sound was deep, dark, druggy &...

Re: BoyBar
That is so true Sweetie. Jackie brought together so many worlds, that's a big reason why she worked. One thing is for sure... There would be no Jackie 60 without Boy Bar, Pyramid or Patricia Field for that matter. It's not a coincidence that the Boy Bar staff, the Jackie 60 staff and the staff at Patricia Field was almost identical. And all the talented people behind the scenes doing wigs, costumes, choreography whatever... was (AND STILL IS) all one Downtown family. Blacklips included.

Re: Madonna: Swept Away, part IV
Exactly. But they could only happen in an atmosphere that is ripe for them. They could not happen in say the 60's or 70's. A few years ago VH1 did this show about the 100 greatest female performers of all time (or something like that). Ironically the winner was Aretha Franklin. This was such a joke because if Aretha Franklin was starting out today she would not even get one toe in the door. She is way too dark, way too fat and no where near pretty enough to be on MTV or VH1. Beyonce is what...

Re: Politically Incorrect VI
I agree Lex but the really outrageous thing is why gay men have sex in public bathrooms in the first place. The heterosexual world condemed gay sex for so long and made it illegal, thereby driving gay men into the closet and into the dark backrooms and secret places where we could meet. There were no gay church socials or dating services or public community meetings where gay people could meet and socialize like the straight world around them.

1980's at the dirty sleezy sexy Metropolitan porn palace on 14th St. I saw Dean Johnson in the balcony. I was wearing my Guardian Angel drag of a red beret with a T-shirt, levis and hightop sneakers. Dean sat down in one of the movie seats with his long legs spread wide. I think he had on light colored pants.

DJs can't really win there because there is no cabaret license, but they like to pump out the way they wouldn't be able to at a club where they inevitably have to go pop or commercial for a facebook crowd.
