Catch the film documentary that is really an homage to Berlin. Totally great because it is mostly told by Berlin himself, with not too much commentary by others like John Waters, etc. The film is on a limited run in the city now.

Every single homoerotic image of a cruiser you ever see nowadays cops to Berlin's iconic self portraits created over a period of maybe twenty years. I'm sure some denizens of these boards made his acquaintance over the years.

The film has loads of history from the 70's up to the present. But mostly what is great is that Berlin shows himself to be a very easygoing free spirit with an incredibly powerful sense of the erotic and a dauntingly independent sexuality. Someone who never bought in to a media-based celebrity, who was rabidly creative, and lived the life as totally as anyone could.

It is gorgy. Saw it here at the Ptown fil festival last June. I can't believe we got it before NYC. But it IS great. Peter looks great too.

You're right seven.
I know Peter Berlin (as I'm sure Bobby and Hattie do).
He's a great guy.
I have to see this.
Thanks!

I'm just remembering a "show" that he did one night at either BOY BAR or JACKIE 60, I forget where it was... maybe The Pyramid.
Anyway, it was messy and great.

I dare you to take Anna Nicole with you to the film!

Anna, you gots to see this, if only for that you will be jumping everyone in the theater lobby immediately afterwards.

Know him? In 1975 I was him.

But your **** is bigger!

Well...maybe.

Oh I forgot to mention the scene where Berlin has this t-shirt that says, "No maybe,Bobby is bigger."

looking at some of the old photos again, it all reminds merlin of the old mag, afterdark......
