DON'T MISS THE DOCUMENTARY ON FLORENT MORELLET, THE QUEEN OF THE MEAT MARKET, AT CINEMA VILLAGE. It's closing soon despite great reviews! I burst into tears seeing Lambert sing a bittersweet song to Florent as his wonderful scene came to an end. It's sad to see what NYC has lost but inspiring to see what it could/can be.
Let Julianne Moore, Isaac Mizrahi, Michael Musto and other famous (and infamous) faces take you on a fantastic voyage to New York City's legendary Florent diner.
For 23 years, the all-night eatery in the city's Meat Packing District was prime stomping ground for a surprising mix of A-list celebrities, tourists, families and club kids, and it played an important role in LGBT activism and culture. This wildly entertaining documentary chronicles the history and final days of this outrageous icon!

LAST CHANCE TO SEE VARLA JEAN MERMAN AND EMMY-AWARD WINNER LESLIE JORDAN IN LUCKY GUY.
I caught this show last weekend and despite a weak and dated script with hopelessly corny jokes, Varla rises above it and fans of the demented drag diva shouldn't miss this if you need a Varla fix for a lavish production. Personally, I prefer her 1-woman show in P'twon starting in July. Leslie is always adorable but this show fails to make him, the villain, either funny or scary or even take advantage of the gayest man on earth. A few people have raved over it but it's closing early so catch them while you can. And if you like swoon-worthy male leads who can sing that country music--this might be for you. And wigs for days. Very comfy theater, too.

OWL FESTIVAL PRESENTS LOWLIFE 5: A SALUTE TO DRAG THROUGHOUT THE AGES! DO NOT MISS!
Jun 5 5 PM - 7 PM $FREE Tompkins Square Park, South Stage, Avenue A at 7th Street
JACKIE FACTORY producers CHI CHI VALENTI and JOHNNY DYNELL will present their fifth annual LOW LIFE to crown the 2011 HOWL! FESTIVAL. LOW LIFE is the free and fabulous Sunday evening climax to HOWL! - a two hour spectacular inspired by East Village decades past. Each year's theme is served up in a lavishly costumed production starring dozens of downtown's finest. This year's LOW LIFE 5: FLAMING QUEENS celebrates the East Village (and its pivotal nightclubs and boites) as the birthplace of brilliant Gay, Trans and Lesbian performers and performance genres for over a century. LOW LIFE 5: FLAMING QUEENS pays homage to movements and moments including the mid-century 82 CLUB and its lavish shows, the protest performance art of ACT UP and GRAN FURY, Tompkins Square's own WIGSTOCK and the notorious 19th century Bleecker Street Tranny Bar THE SLIDE. This hour and a half show features multiple dance companies, vocal and musical performances, burlesque and drag renderings and of course - brilliant lip synch! The bill (still in formation) includes showstopping trans songstress SADE PENDAVIS (Paris is Burning), HOWL! resident butoh company VANGELINE THEATER, Low Life chorines the PIXIE HARLOTS (costumed by MACHINE DAZZLE), former MISS BOYBAR HRH PRINCESS DIANDRA, Neue dance/performance ensemble the RACHEL KLEIN THEATER and the Low Life debut of Bowery Boylesque star GO-GO HARDER. In one of the sure highlights of LOW LIFE 5, our MC PAUL ALEXANDER (of THE ONES and JACKIE 60) will join SADE PENDAVIS and voguers from the HOUSE OF XTRAVAGANZA to debut the new 21 century Voguing Anthem BRING IT! from new Jackie Factory music label ENDLESS NIGHT MUSIC. LOW LIFE events were inspired by the seminal LUC SANTE book "LOW LIFE: The Lures and Snares of Old New York" and are produced by local performance collective THE JACKIE FACTORY NYC. The annual LOW LIFE extravaganzas at HOWL! continue a body of work born at the seminal Meat Market nightclub JACKIE 60 in 1997, with past editions in London, Minneapolis and of course, the HOWL! FESTIVAL since 2007. For the show's producers, East Village residents for over two decades, this annual spectacular is a Valentine to the neighborhood's past, present and future stars.
