Cheers Miwa ... Mr. Elder is quite talented!!!

Anna Nicole - I just checked the crobar site and there are oodles more pictures there of the party - but I didn't see one of Michael and co., or Seven - whose outfit I missed and am most curious to see after reading his party review. Also would like to see more pics of the contestants - I seem to have missed the competition, regretfully. :-(

Lastly, there were SO MANY pics taken at the ball and I am wondering where they might turn up - a large dark gent took one I quite liked of me putting on lipstick and I should like to get a hold of that one.

I am also inspired to create an arty-web-gallery tribute-collage of the night as a celebration of our amazing community here, that is, if I can track down enough images and get oks from the photographers and subjects. Anyway any leads on this, PLEASE email me.

Lastly, part 2 - I was called this week by a casting director who spotted me at the ball and got my info and rang about my doing some film work - I chicken shitted out on doing it this time round ... but it is amazing what can still happen in a single night out in the New York club scene. Stars/legends are still born, found, molded and made - and that is amazing and utterly inspiring news to this slowly-becoming-aged-and-jaded NYC/B-burg artist.

I love your idea of tribute-collage. There're some good images in Genifer's camera, so will edit those and e-mail you.
BTW, are you appearing in a movie? fabulous
Here is a pic of SEVEN did Republican=kk

Tricia Romano's covers The Hooker's Ball in The Village Voice.
"Bush Be Gone"

There was more civic pride at Thursday's "Hooker's Ball," thrown at Crobar by JACKIE 60, another old-school crew. THE WORLD FAMOUS *BOB* kicked off the festivities in a fitting, if morose, way. She posed as Justice, bound and gagged, giant ta-tas exposed, and an American flag covering her loins as a sad version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" played. Later, she admitted to crying midway through, but added cheerfully that she had visited a miniature-pony farm earlier that day.

The evening was modeled after an an actual convention, with placards of the different states hanging from the ceiling, and people on the floor representing the 50 states. "GEORGIA" wore a denim jacket that proclaimed "Pure Sex Domination," and little else. "NEW JERSEY" was fittingly represented by a trio of gay boys in their skivvies, and "NEVADA" arrived in the curvy form of burlesque superstar DIRTY MARTINI masquerading as a Vegas showgirl. (Miss Martini just nabbed the coveted Miss Exotic World crown, which is sort of like Miss America for strippers.) While it was a shame no Republicans were actually present to be horrified by the people at "God Save New York" or the "Hooker's Ball," at the latter show the Dems weren't totally off the hook. The "White House Intern" danced onstage wearing a bikini, a cigar, and star-spangled knee pads.

When host CHI CHI VALENTI announced "NEW YORK," everyone cheered as the state's representative—who appeared to be a 'ho—took the stage, clad in capped gold teeth, a big hoodie jacket, and a "New York Fuckin' City" shirt. She flashed a golden grin, waved her bling-bling, and motioned to her fur-clad pimp. For a moment, I loved New York.

"Hooker's Welcome Elephants"

The Hookers’ Ball at Crobar on August 26 proved the perfect event to counteract the Republican Convention’s unwonted and, most definitely unwanted, incursion into our city. Hooker delegations proudly represented all 50 states, while a bodacious, blindfolded Bob led the Star Spangled Banner. A gaggle of splendiferously accoutered freaks and those who love them assembled for a costume contest, with contestants serving their best Mack Daddy Pimp and Patriotic Showgirl Hooker Glamour looks.

Nightlife legends Chi Chi Valenti and Johnny Dynell conceived this ball in 1999 to lament the demise of streetwalking in the now terminally chic Meatpacking District. Their parties have always had the most fabulous vibe: purely inclusive, regardless of age, color or gender—they’re the nearest we have to the fabled 70s party days.

I’ve known Chi Chi since we were both babies at Studio 54, dressed in a black Joan Crawford picture hat, lace top and leather pants—that was me. She was in full dominatrix gear, replete with Nazi Slutgirl pulp paperback under her arm—our eyes met across the club at Karl Lagerfeld’s Bauhaus party, and every freak alarm in the world went off. Her parties are still the kind of affairs where any boy can get in touch with his inner diva, throw, say, a Galliano top (or reasonable facsimile) on, enter, and be immediately, sensually mauled by some bi-curious studmuffin in the best old 54-Mudd Club tradition.

Very cool site!

Hooker Ball #6? When is it? I just looked at the pictures of #5 and got excited. Maybe a Winter Olympics theme? I haven't been since #2, I think. All I remember is Bob's boobs, a corona bottle, a boy in silver pleather, and a handjob in the bathroom at Don Hill's. Not necessarily in that order......
