Bunny Business
Lady Bunny was a laugh riot at a recent special event at Fotografiska museum as she and I discussed images from my photo book The Drag Explosion. Thankfully, I managed to survive all her vicious insults aimed at me. (Of course, I would never partake in such tawdry drag queen behavior.) The event was sold out and It was a great to be at such a glamorous space!

Exploding on Park Avenue and the Lower East Side!
Because my photo book The Drag Explosion was released earlier this year when indoor gathering was a no-no, I’m making up for lost time by celebrating its second printing(!) with two big events in October—a fancy museum affair and a dive-bar extravaganza.
*Thursday, 10/21 at Fotografiska
7:30pm, $36
I’ll be discussing my photos with a renowned intellectual named… Lady Bunny! Admission gets you access to all five floors of this absolutely stunning photo museum. Party afterwards with Bunny “manning” the turntables. Make your reservation here.
*Sunday, 10/24 at Parkside Lounge
5–10pm, Free
Blowout party with drag performers and go-go dancers at this Lower East Side hangout (bring tips!) If we were on Fire Island, I guess you’d call our timeframe “high tea.” In keeping with Covid guidelines, all partygoers must undergo an anal probe. Kidding—you wish!
Books for sale at both events, of course. But no pressure. Let’s have fun!

Wah Wha Read Read!
Back in the 1980s and ‘90s there was a bohemian bar across from the Pyramid Club with the quirky name of King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut.
Now it’s called Niagara, and I’ll be there on Monday, 10/4/21, to read from my photo book “The Drag Explosion,” which covers the same era as when the Wah Wah Hut was going strong. 7:30pm. Free
Part of The Miss Manhattan Non-Fiction Reading Series.
UPDATE
Elyssa Goodman, a.k.a. Miss Manhattan (holding tote bag) was a delight as she hosted me and writers Erica Campbell and John Sherman. Packed house and a great time!

Black Magic
A photo I took in 1991 is featured in a new video called “Black Beauty is Beauty” from the retailer Sephora. Pictured left to right are Afrodite, London Broil and Ebony Jet in the Pyramid Club dressing room. If I remember correctly, they were doing a tribute to the 1970s movie Shaft. Thus, the afros!
