As long as I’ve been writing about old Times Square lately…
This past weekend I caught The Ultimate Drag Off, a weekly pageant fabulously hosted by my pal Sweetie at the Times Square Arts Center.
Hoo-boy, if those Arts Center walls could talk! The space used to be the porn palace Show World. And I used to work there!
“Big Top” was the name of the party I promoted for a short while—I brought the drag shows, management supplied the go-go boys—in a gorgeous showroom with zillions of flashing lights. The rest of Show World, all four floors, was an X-rated playground, and it was hilarious and thrilling to be part of such a naughty atmosphere.
The places may change, but the drag queens endure forever and ever…
Linda you’ve got a typo in my caption… I greeked him… and then he greeked me.
