HEATHERETTE PIX

Miss Thing got dolled up to attend the Heatherette show at Bryant Park, and was psyched to see the models strut to David London's THE SOUND OF THE CITY, since I'd turned Aimee of Heatherette onto the showy cut from the largely forgotten Village People/Valerie Perrine vehicle CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC. The designer's theme was Gotham, so I thought it would be perfect. They agreed, and rewarded me with a front row seat next to Blondie Harry (which we call her to aggravate her). Unfortunately, the cunts started the show on time--the last one I attended was over an hour late, and the doors were closed! Even my cries of "But I'm Richie Rich's dealer!" didn't cause the gruff guards to budge. So I grabbed a quick nap behind the tent.



And saw performance artist Brandon Oleson emerging from the trash.



Since Richie got his start as a Michael Alig club kid star, Heatherette probably attracts the most downtown crowd of any of the shows, like Todd Oldham's did in the '80's. Hence the appearance of club royalty like TOBELL VON CARTIER, former Boybar Beauty CODIE RAVIOLI, and an unknown cutie who they've obviously drugged into submission in order to accompany their mangy asses. Actually, Codie, on the right, looks like a movie star. Tobell does too...Lassie! (That Mississippi bitch will cut me for that.)



ATTITUDE FOR DAYS! You gotta love a grey church lady hat with a matching ribbon woven into a braid--with facial hair.



SUZANNE BARTSCH's pregnancy certainly didn't change her always stunning figure. She joked that her son, Bailey, is now 12 and having "dates" at Starbucks with young misses. So Suzanne's freer to get back on the club scene and she hosts the wildly popular new HAPPY VALLEY, every Tuesday, along with co-host KENNY KENNY.


Kenny has had a different look every night for 15 years. Rarely good, but always different! (Kidding!)



CUTEES



LOVE THIS JEWEL PRINT PULLOVER!



SONGSTRESS MYA WITH ME-YA (Look at MY camera next time, beeyotch!)



I don't think my companion Dan Matthews from PETA approved of it, but I have to give points to this ol' gal with the hair teased up above the fur headband, accented with a rhinestone brooch. Nuts!



DJ THOMAS, DEBORAH HARRY AND MISS GUY



Blondie is getting ready to be inducted the Rock "n" Roll Hall of Fame on March 9th with an after-party at which Johnny Dynell, Guy and I will spin. A Blondie Greatest Hits will also be released, including a new duet by Guy and Blondie of the group's classic IN THE FLESH.

Snapped this pic of NAOMI CAMBELL on the monitor. Ain't she got some broad shoulders? (I know, look who's talking!)



Speaking of supermodels, JANICE DICKINSON can work a room so well it's scary! She was extremely fun and immediately screeched "I love you!", a line which she probably learned decades ago was a great way to appease any vain drag she actually didn't know!



SCISSOR SISTERS' JAKE SHEARS WITH HEATHERETTE'S AIMEE PHILLIPS (working a hot manicure!)



Gorgeous hair on a gorgeous model! The clothes were fantastic. Really imaginative shapes and fabrics in subtle colors like teal and pewter, so that the look was edgy, but not clown overload.



I asked the mere slip of a girl to "Try to look fat" when posing with me:



And I asked Richie, a model and Trevor Rains to "Try to look young". Hence the thumb-sucking.



One of the models featured sore on the mouth make-up:



MICHAEL CAVADIAS (aka LILY OF THE VALLEY), make-up artiste KABUKI, and RUFUS WAINWRIGHT (aka DUFUS AIN'T RIGHT)



Then it was off to Beige to try and catch a glimpse of Donatella's ever-changing mug, but she was a no-show. But the svelte (sniff!) host Erich Conrad was holding court with Lincoln Palsgrove, champagne, oysters and such.



Personally, I wish they'd add this exotic delicacy to the menu.



Beige wouldn't be Beige without crackwhores. Here's DJ JOHN JOHN FIELDS with coke-whort.



All in all, I'd say that Downtown isn't dead after all. It just waits to come alive for special occasions.
