Despite drizzles, the show carried on (thanks to a tent), with an array of unselfconsciously eye-catching gender fuck drag and Beales-like inspiration on display. No one budged anyway, and the show-attended by fun celebs like Lance Bass, Michael Urie, and Nick Adams-rocked with models like Milk, Rhea Litre, and various tattooed dudes with facial hair making temperatures rise in various states of gender-ification.)Īnd then I finally got to the anti-Fashion Week-this past weekend's Bushwig, an annual drag fest held in an outdoor space in Brooklyn's burgeoning Bushwick nabe. (The latter one was marred by a power-mad bleached blond queen demanding that nine people leave the front row to make way for Lady Gaga, who was nowhere for miles. "I'm much more about Lana Wachowski than Caitlyn!" And somehow that made such sense that I felt he didn't need to elaborate-especially when DJ Honey Dijon was playing hard-driving disco classics and I looked so very fine.įashion Week continued with worthwhile shows by the experimental Academy of Art University and the sexily exotic Marco Marco. "That doesn't mean it isn't true." (I didn't even bring up Marc's apparent new BFF, Bianca Del Rio.) And finally, I got to the important point: What are Marc's thoughts on Caitlyn Jenner now that she admitted she used to be against gay marriage? "I'm not going there," he responded. And I love Mauricio and Roger." "Is it true," "I smirked, "that the three of you are having an affair?" "Not that I know of," Jacobs laughed. Yes, the designer said, "The first thing of his that I was aware of were his Dior ads, which I loved. Not only is the deluxe coffee table book a homage to Von Wangenheim's voyeuristic '70s images, but the bash happened to be hosted by Marc Jacobs (for Bookmarc), so floods of people came to the '90s club the Tunnel to revive the era of Studio 54 with all manner of sylph-like bodies, bugle beads, fake fur, and even roller blades.Īmid a crowd that included saucy TV stars Laverne Cox, Lea DeLaria, Wendy Williams, and Kelly Bensimon, I tracked down Marc Jacobs on a banquette and asked if he's a fan of Chris Von Wagenheim. The same publicity duo, Mao PR, brought out the well-heeled throngs for their party celebrating Gloss: The World of Chris Von Wangenheimby Mauricio and Roger Padilha. Positioned in the middle of them-I think-was the real Phillipe Blond, who told me he was loving this, "though I feel a little guilty not being home getting ready for our fashion show on the 16th." The show's theme will be Egyptian disco, so being a momentary queen of de Nile was fine with me. The mannequins-which will be in major department stores-are gorgeously sculpted, and at the event were brilliantly adorned with the Blonds' most head spinning creations. But I think we're around for a while.Ĭerebral twinks came out in force to start Fashion Week with the Rootstein party celebrating the male and female Phillipe Blond mannequins, based on the dual moods of the famed half of the design duo the Blonds. Will there be a name change in a few years? Maybe. I think there will not be a shortage of young, smooth, slim guys in New York City or elsewhere, so I don't think the demographic will change. Reversing the twink stereotype would be tops or power tops who don't view the slimmer boy as a sex toy. There's offenses on both sides-twinks and the ones who assume that's what all of them are like. But the loudest members become the stereotype for the group, and the same thing has happened to twinks. You mean not all Republicans are like Donald Trump? It's much like Republicans-the louder ones get the stereotype. So you can say with certainty that not all twinks are as slight of mind as they are of body?Ībsolutely. It depends on who's saying it and how-like most words and slurs. If someone says, "You're a cute twink," does that mean I don't have a lot of body hair and might be a little more bottom-oriented? I wouldn't be offended by that, but what's offensive is if someone uses the term "stupid twink." Like you're shallow and vapid. The power of the word "twink" is in what you mean by it. So, nowadays, if someone said "twink" when they met you, how would you react? OK, we've established that you're a twink, but with substance. I do try to keep a broad range of interests and keep up with what's going on. A lot of my friends are more politically minded, so I'll click on their things on social networks. I keep up with the fun presentation of politics. I'm a fan of Rachel Maddow and I watch The Daily Show.
