Sooner or later everything in NYC comes to an end....especially in nightlife. Restaurants come and go, nightclubs open and close, parties get cancelled. On Thanksgiving Eve one of my favorites did just that: Amanda Lepore's decadent circus themed Big Top at Carnival breathed it's last cotton candy scented breath. During it's 7 month run, Big Top won Best Gay Night at PAPER Magazine's 2010 Nightlife Awards and Best Bar/Club Party at the 2010 Glammy Awards. It's seXXXed up carnival atmosphere complete with circus freaks, burlesque dancers and nearly naked go-go boys made this the most exciting thing to do on a Wednesday night. So imagine my delight when Amanda asked me to be a Special Guest Host for the grand finale! What a night it was! Everyone who's anyone came out to show face and celebrate. Not only did techno-colored scenester Raquel Reed debut her new music video but there also a fashion show by the amazing Julia Clancey, featuring ME as one of the runway models! Big Top definitely went out with a big bang. After the festivities ended me, Amanda, Kenny Kenny and crew headed over to Coffee Shop for a celebratory Thanksgiving "Deakfast" and kiki session (for new readers to my blog that is the elusive meal somewhere between dinner and breakfast). What will I do with myself on Wednesday night now?

A knife, a fork, a bottle and a cork! That's the way we spell NEW YORK!
This Friday, The Precious Empire showed NYC how to Rock'N Roll!! Taking advantage of the break in between the North American and European dates of Lady GaGa's Monster Ball Tour, my best friends Semi Precious Weapons launched their 13 city headlining Dirty Showbiz Tour featuring my other BFFs Breedlove and Lady Starlight. Playing to a crowd of over 1000 screaming fans, each performer sold it to the back row and blew the roof off of Irving Plaza (where SPW played a year ago on the Perez Hilton Presents Tour). Also, as a special treat for the East Coast dates The Dirty Pearls were added to the list of opening acts. They're not only the hottest rock dudes in NYC but also St. Jerome regulars and even trumpet master/crooner Brian Newman made a guest appearance. An onstage performance piece by moi (where I powdered my face and stared at myself in the mirror, while looking bored) during Breedlove's set only further added to the filthy glaMOUR! It was a perfect evening for our NYC family and a monumental night for our movement....the only one missing was a certain little Lady. Also, some of the most gorgeous names in NYC nightlife glitterati were in attendance including Ladyfag, Miss Guy, Becka Diamond, Tommy Hottpants, Kayvon Zand, Kelle Calco and Mike Furey from Dangerous Muse. Total win! Cheers to the NEW New York!
