The Chanel Concept Car : Fiole
Mar 10th
Jinyoung Jo is a car designer at Hong-ik University in South Korea, and this is her creation: the Chanel Fiole concept. As with classic Coco Chanel work, the design of the car was centered on simplicity of lines and “the best of black and white.” As with most concepts, there was also an emphasis on airflow. The car seats three, two abreast and one staggered in between — but it’s probably best considered a sleek two-seater for runway types.

Always on Sunday: At Alphabet Sundays at Arrow Bar
Mar 5th
By Gerry Visco
When it comes to partying hard, Friday and Saturday are for amateurs, but Sunday night is for pros. If you’re out past 3 a.m. on a Sunday before the sickening regularity of the 9 to 5 starts all over again, you know it’s a good party. Well, last week I went to Alphabet Sundays at Arrow Bar despite an overwhelming urge to stay home. And once I got there, I didn’t wanna leave.
Our hostess was Demanda Dahling (AKA Thomas Bistritz), author of the raunchy memoir Don’t Piss In My Martini, Please. Most of her getups are outrageous, but her signature look is whiteface and some red-and-black far Eastern drag number. “I was a shit storm this weekend during my performance,” she admitted. Demanda and shit storm often go together. About 20 club kids traveled by drag van to Poughkeepsie the day before to perform at Primetime, organized by promoter and makeup artist Isis Vermouth, Sunday night dressed as a boy. As we did a little can-can out on the floor, Isis told me, “You’re a wild woman!” Like that’s news!
If you like to let it allintimate lounge area perfect for misbehavior. No cover, cheap drinks, go-go boys. What’s not to like?
Let’s not forget the music. Seth Clark Silberman, a dynamo known as PhDJ,
really does have a Ph.D. in comparative literature from the University of Maryland. He taught for a year at Yale and one at Emory. “There weren’t any jobs this year,” he confessed. Meanwhile, not only is he smart but he was spinning some badass tunes, a selection of electro, dance, house and techno.
“Hey, how are you?” a leather-jacketed guy slumped at the bar called out as I walked by. I wasn’t sure who the hell he was. Should I lie and pretend I recognized him or just confess?
“It’s Nicky Paraiso!” he exclaimed. The long-time curator from La MaMa Experimental Theater Company on East Fourth Street was chilling. “Sorry, Nicky. You look so hot!” I told him, a backhanded compliment. Daniel Allen Nelson, performing this week at La MaMa, was sitting with him. “Come and see my show,” he cajoled.
Alphabet Sundays starts cooking around 11 and then the hard-core partiers often end their evening at Van Dam. But tonight at 3 a.m., we weren’t going anywhere. When the going’s good, stick around.

The Bowery Poetry Club for the premiere performance of SHIM MAMSIR Productions
Feb 26th

Thurs. night we stepped out into the nasty NY weather (the 4th snowstorm this month!) and made our way to The Bowery Poetry Club for the premiere performance of SHIM MAMSIR Productions. The new stage company did a certain stage/movie with a 6 member, leading-lady cast and a very famous “Shelby Drink Your Juice” scene (see video clip below). Needless to say the talents of Mimi Imfurst ,Bianca DelRio, Bianca Leigh, Lavinia Co-Op, Dallas Dubois and Sweetie were truly enchanting. It was the right mix of comic timing, a packed house and a dash of hairspray and duct tape that made this the perfect recipe for a delicious and satiating night of theater fun.
The group plans to do 6 stage readings in 6 months that will culminate in their very own original stage play written just for the company of seasoned stage vets. Tonight was the first in the series. The next performance will be March 31 and word on the street is the cast will increase in size from 6 to 10 members. I wonder which other dynamic NYC SHIMS will be tapped to join in the fun? Visit www.ShimMamsir.com for tickets and additional info on the theater company.
SEEN: Brian Mills, Mike Diamond, Daniel Nardicio, DJ Nita, One-Half Nelson, DJ Sammy Jo, Jeff Eason, Logan Hardcore, Celso, Gusty Winds sans wig and heels among many others.
Nightlife Titans Not Gaga For Fashion Followers

Nightlife Titans Not Gaga For Fashion Followers
By: Gerry Visco
The New York Times is usually about 10 steps behind on the latest trends, and yesterday’s piece claiming Lady Gaga’s influence can be spotted at Susanne Bartsch’s parties, Vandam and Bonbon, is one more example of the Gray Lady missing the forest for the trees.
Thain Torres, writer and performance artist who is a regular on the gay scene articulated what many of us partygoers have been feeling. “Did Lady Gaga define club fashion or did club fashion define Lady Gaga?”
On the one hand, Lady Gaga’s influence has definitely had an impact on the younger, less chic crowd. Brian Mills, a regula
r in the club world and editor of Fierth, a new blog chronicling New York City’s nightlife and arts scene, was appalled by the scads of Lady Gaga wannabees at her recent show at Radio City. “They turned out in exact duplicates of her outfits,” he told me. Though he admires Lady Gaga, he’s less adoring of the army of imitators flooding the nightlife scene. “It’s similar to the 1980s when Madonna arrived and rosaries and fishnet gloves emptied store shelves.” Mills is pleased, however, by the influx of creativity in New York City right now. “The renewed sense of fashion and creative expression should inspire everyone to turn out new looks and truly push the envelope. Nightlife zest and homemade fashion is what is propelling the new excitement in nightlife.” Nonetheless, Mills bemoans the fact that innovators like Joey Arias, Leigh Bowery, Acid Betty and others are overlooked while Lady Gaga enjoys the fame.
One of my friends who prefers to be anonymous remembers seeing Lady Gaga perform in 2007, opening for Semi-Precious Weapons (the amazing local rock group who is opening for her on a current tour) when she had a very different look: dark hair wearing a bikini and spiked heels. “She was coming from a burlesque place then, and has since drawn inspiration from people like Grace Jones and European pop star Roisin Murphy,” he said. But as for the Lady Gaga imitators, he is dismissive. “Fans who copy their idols always misinterpret the look and never quite get it. They lack creative vision and taste.”
Performer Deryck Todd created the popular glam event BowieBall in 2006 and told me, “There was no definitive Bowie event going on in New York City, just little glammy ones here and there.” Todd is not one to wait around. “If you don’t see what you want, create it yourself.” Todd’s currently working on a collection of “urban glam” caps encrusted with metal studs and rhinestones and finalizing the contract on the next Bowieball. “This is New York City. What dies becomes reborn and back again,” Todd referring to the so-called renaissance of club kids. “I think the emergence of a few new parties have provided a platform for shenanigans,” he said.
Nightlife entrepreneur Gregory Dimwoodie, who organizes parties popular with the twenty-something beautiful and fashionable set, agreed that Gaga has become a buzzword for some of the younger less sophisticated members of the nightlife world. He told me with a laugh, “Every time the bitch is in town, these kids are like, ’I hear Gaga’s out tonight,’ and they go on a club crawl, searching for her.” He finds the whole scenario a bit hilarious with the little wannabes dropping names. “’I don’t go to gay clubs,’ they’ll say but alas too late, since the next day they discover their idol had gone to Splash. I went to Germs, which is a horrible fucking party at Club Europa way out in Brooklyn, and all the kids there were dressed like Lady Gaga,” he said, appalled at their desperation.
From my own perspective, I moved to New York in the 1970s to become a fashion designer and was on the scene when Madonna took the world by storm with her layered look. All of my friends watched Madonna’s rise with some jealousy because she took what we all were wearing and popularized it. Well, I say more power to both her and Lady Gaga, who’s doing it all over again. If the two queens of pop were savvy enough to take what’s out there and make it their own, I say good for them. Like the others who’ve been doing it all along but not capitalizing on it by making millions of dollars, I just wish I’d done it first, but unlike some of my friends, I don’t need to denigrate their prescience. In fact, now when I wear one of my outrageous costumes to my day job, I’m comforted by the fact that some of the dweebs at my office are perhaps less outraged since Lady Gaga’s outrageous getups has even reached their non-fashionista sensibility. My gladrags don’t seem as crazy to them as they used to.
Everyone agrees, though, that the scene has become more energized, but not because Lady Gaga has made it ok to be a club kid again. “People are out in New York City again, in droves. Finally nightlife is actually about the good times rather than commiserating over what it once was,” Mills said.
