Gerry Visco Vamps It Up!
HTTP://FIERTH.COM – On Monday night I performed at Gerry Visco’s show “The Gerry Party” at The Wild Project. It was one of those crazy nights that only can happen in New York City – and I LOVED it, kids! Just like the old days!

Ah, well, I can’t blame him, Gio does have a gorgeous cock. Anyway, I love Gerry Visco and think she is an amazing woman, who has a heart of gold and gorgeous rack (we have so much in common!).

Narcissister: This Masquerade at Abrons Art Center
http://fierth.com – With This Masquerade, Narcissister assembles a dozen duplicates of herself. What is behind the mask? Reconfiguring multiple feminisms, Narcissister’s power rests in her play with ambiguity. She is covered, she is nude; she is thin, she is chubby; she is black, she is white; she is Barbie, she is suicide bomber; she is Mammy, she is Marie Antoinette; she is bottom, she is top; she is punk, she is hip-hop; she is human, she is animal; she is body, she is mind. She asks us what it means to decapitate and devour our own heads … a question we can only answer with a curtsy.

Jackie Beat: One Man’s Trash
Drag Superstar Jackie Beat returned to New York City for a one night only performance entitled “One Man’s Trash”; a full house packed Time’s Squares Laurie Beechman Theater to be broadsided by Jackie’s unmatched acerbic wit and song stylings. This “Best of” show featured classic parodies such as “Billy & The Priest” (based on Disney’s Beauty & the Beast ), a twisted take on Sir Mix A Lot’s Baby Got Back called “Baby Got Front “ , and a filthy, funny, campy number called “Dildos Are Forever” that Ms. Beat belted with all of her considerable vocal power. The capacity laughed hysterically throughout the nearly two hour show, and lapped up every bit of Jackie’s sardonic, intelligent and truly humorous acid commentaries.

STUDDING THE INTERN - We were really excited this week when we got a new line of men’s clothing in called Stud Muffin from New York designer Kyle Brincefield. So excited, in fact, that we decided to dress our intern, Tyler, in the studded garb. Tyler is a sweet young gentleman from Kentucky, who just moved here January 1st. So of course we loved seeing him in the studded shorts, vest, and mask. We put him in a pair of patched up underwear by Tom-Tom… just because we could :)

what to do, what to do…
“This bold, globe-spanning survey is the first book to thoroughly explore the radical, long-standing interdependence between art and homosexuality. It draws examples from the full range of the Western tradition, including classical, Renaissance, and contemporary art, with special focus on the modern era. It was in the modern period, when arguments about homosexuality and the avant-garde were especially public, that our current conception of the artist and the homosexual began to take shape, and almost as quickly to overlap. Not a chronology of gay or lesbian artists, the book is a fascinating and sophisticated account of the ways two conspicuous identities have fundamentally informed one another.
Art and Homosexuality discusses many of modernism’s canonical figures—painters like Courbet, Picasso, and Pollock; writers like Whitman and Stein—and issues, such as the rise of abstraction, the avant-garde’s relationship to its patrons and the political exploitation of art. It shows that many of the core ideas that define modernism are nearly indecipherable without an understanding of the paired identities of artist and homosexual. Illustrated with over 175 b/w and color images that range from high to popular culture and from Ancient Greece to contemporary America, Art and Homosexuality punctures the platitudes surrounding discussions of both aesthetics and sexual identity and takes our understanding of each in stimulating new directions.”
