Zandra Foxx at a party at a fetish photo studio in Brooklyn.
Yakked with Lady Bunny last night about her cabaret show (extended through November) and the recent party she attended at Studio 54, a high-profile SiriusXM Radio event meant to evoke the wild disco era.
No surprise that it fell short. (Many party goers weren’t even dancing, says Bunny, who kept to the theme by bringing poppers.)
Oh well, better to relive Studio 54 via old photos, including this 1979 after-dark Halston advertising spread (scanned from my ancient files).
A model portrays Halston, and is that “first supermodel” Janice Dickinson on the far left in the top photo? Other Halstonettes include Karen Bjornson, Pat Cleveland, Sterling St. Jacques and Roseanne Vela. Disco!

Sacred Boy and Keda at Limelight.
Twelve-thousand hits?!
The Youtube video I posted in February of Lady Bunny, Miss Understood and me vs. Black Israelites in Times Square has become a semi-viral sensation, and generated load of, uh, colorful comments.
Some have condemned the gals and I as devil sodomites (which in Bunny and Miss U’s case is completely accurate)!
Thanks again to my pal Bernhard Blythe who shot the footage!
Never having seen nightlife phenomenon Ladyfag before sunset, I naturally assumed she’s a blood-sucking vampire. (Vodka-cranberry in her glass or virgin plasma?!)
But it turns out she can withstand the light of day! This coming Sunday she’s organized Pop Souk, a noon-to-6pm fashion extravaganza featuring loads of indie designers and fabulous folks selling off their fabulous cast-offs.
Ladyfag herself is clearing out her closet.
Finally, my chance to nab some of her incredible eye-catching attire!
I can’t wait to show up to one of her events clad in her old clothes! Ladylinda!
