Oops - I forgot to post New Year's/Hooker's Ball info here! Just wanted to say how glad we are to be able to throw one of our usual New Year's parties this year, and keep the price normal too, given all the price-gouging and venue problems that other nights have had. Special thanks to Micheline and the staff at CBs for this, and we look forward to seeing you for this one!

JACKIE 60 FURTHER's annual celebration of The Sporting Life and the well-turned trick returns on New Year's Eve at their comfy East Village headquarters. This year's edition is dedicated to the Godmother of all Working Girls, XAVIERA HOLLANDER, and the Red Light district of Amsterdam, her longtime home. (This year saw the thirtieth anniversary of publication of Hollander's seminal tome THE HAPPY HOOKER.) THE HOUSE OF DOMINATION will be creating all of the Method GoGo performances for this night and we invite all House members past and present to attend!

The stage will feature the famous windows of Red Light Amsterdam, for a marathon of High Hooker go-go and specialty XXX shows courtesy of the HOUSE OF DOMINATION, including DOLLY, LILY, BETTY and AMBER DOMINATION as Xaviera Hollander. Their superstar guests will include the astounding ROBERT FLOWRYDER as the Dutch Policeman. Other highlights will include Empress CHI CHI VALENTI reading from THE HAPPY HOOKER set to a high Seventies Sleaze Disco soundtrack by DJ JOHNNY DYNELL, and Red-Light Seventies striptease by LADY ACE of BOMSHELL at 1:30. A Virtual Peepshow installation by ArtMaker TONYA KNUDSEN, "Dutch Pumps, Glass Doors Und Blond" will be created for the night for viewer's interactive pleasure.

THE HOOKER'S BALL NYC was born in 1999 at the legendary JACKIE 60 to lament the end of streetwalking in the Meat Market neighborhood. The last Annual party to be born at Jackie 60, the ball has taken place every year since, and moved to New Year's Eve in 2001. JACKIE 60 FURTHER ball producers CHI CHI VALENTI. KITTY BOOTS, HATTIE HATHAWAY and JOHNNY DYNELL acknowledge (and hope to live up to) the rich history of HOOKER'S BALLS of yore - including MARGO ST. JAMES and her San Francisco editions 25 years ago. Like those events, this is a truly MIXED crowd - something, and someone, for everyone.

SUGGESTED DRESS: Xaviera Hollander "Call Me Madam" Looks, Amsterdam "Window Girl" effects, Feather Boas, Cash (Dollars or Guilders,) Dutch Dominatrix, Full-on Pimp Drag, Sex Tourist, Boogie Nights, Sharkskin and Silk, Tranny Streetwalker Chic, High Seventies Hustler Boy, Coffeshop Stoner Gear, Out-Of-Town John, Stripper Showgirl Realness, Sex Workers Unite logos or Full Evening Dress.

And thank YOU jackies for keeping the price down and not being greedie. It is really aprecieted this year so even my unemployed friends can come out and drink in 2003 with the Empress and company.

Best of all is my visiting freinds who go to the Cannabis Cup every year in Am-damn. they actually have somethin to wear on the dresscode
LOL
SLC punk has nothing on Siouxicide City Iowa (also known as Sewer City). Last night had great run in with a punk legend in these parts as well as others, long-lost cracker of my ribs in high school in the mosh pit, Pete Phillips, who actually was playing at CBGBs around the time of the Hookerball 2. Apparantly, the Jackie crowd left quite an impression on him. And this is no small feat!

Saw four amazing acts last night, and forgot just how talented these kids are out here. white soul I think you could call it. The best, was a rather 300 pound 16-year old screaming about how hungry he was in front of a big sign with the pledge of allegience on it. And all the others screaming and pleading on hands and knees for him to remove his shirt. I think I have a picture coming, if not, I may have to reevaluate my stance on drawing outies.

Anyhow, this trip creatively is gettting me tremendously riled to produce some great f'ing art, hope you can handle it when i get back because I'm letting it loose New Year's at Hooker Ball 4!

The punks, to whom I gave one of my last flyers to, placed it (and it alone on the entrance table) in some sort of worshipful and respectful act of something cool having found it's way here of all places.

The underground may be critical to New York subversives, but just the idea of it, a reason to live for those who've never seen it, but know it exists somewhere, or elsewhere.
Hi my dears-

Back in town and in a full frenzy of Red-Light Amsterdam preproduction for the Hooker's Ball, and glad so many friends seem to be coming for this!

SWAG

Diamanda Galas just sent us six copies of her new CD THE SPORTING LIFE to give out at the Ball!

PRESS WHORES

One of the Domination Legends tba and myself are going on Naked New York Monday night to plug/preview The Ball. Thats the Metro Channel, I'll find out time..

Can't wait to share a crib on Tuesday!
Doing the research for this night we are marvelling again and again - as we did when we went to Amsterdam - over the marvelous attitudes of the Dutch about sex, among many other things. It's a night to remember that this city was once New Amsterdam, and the attitudes and energy of the Dutch shaped olde New York, though there is precious little of it left here now!
I thought I couldn't make it, until these two synapses became very intimate with one another and I realized that I was working a block away until only about 2:00AM. DUH.

Hey Lex, get off early and bring your brother with you. I know, it's all about your dad, the toxic waste and so forth. For one night, please just forget it and have a good time.

Fondly,

DD
I just got back from taping the Hookers Ball segment for Naked NY. It will be on tonight 12/30 at 10 PM and midnight, Metro TV. Some of the Jackie 60 movie/Museum of Sex Footage will also be shown - I'm not sure how much.

Other guests included a gay psychic and a porn portrait artist. Really had a good time and hope it brings lots of visiting Hookers to the party!
As seems to be a nearly annual tradition in sheer idiocy in my life, I've yet again lost my damn photo identification right before New Year's. All I've got is my birth certificate - am I going to be able to get in? (I don't even care if I can drink). I mean I just turned 30, it has to be good for something, right?

aieeee.

stressed out,
Reive
I'll let Kitty know you are ID-less, so coming in isn't a problem, nor would I think drinking be - having seen you lately, you look very glamorous but definately 21.

The bartenders are really trying to sort out more the 18-20 year-olds who can't drink, so if you are really baby-faced, even if older, bring ID!

So glad you are coming Reive ...
ChiChi!
I just saw Naked NY on Metro..you look FABULOUS!
It sounds like such a great event to attend. I didnt catch the part about when the show actually starts? is it at 12 or 2?
I really liked how u spoke about this whole nighlife sex scene..maybe it'll change some people's perspective and they wont think that is all about "just sex"
luv,
bb
