In nightlife, holidays spread over weekends, which gives everyone plenty of time this Valentine's Day weekend to fantastically celebrate or drown wallow in cocktails, depending upon if Cupid's struck you. At the F Word last night, there was a "Black Heart Valentine's" theme, though most of my friends like Matthew Heresy (pictured above) went with a bloody Valentine one. There was a lot of splattering all around, not just on DivaSteve (pictured below), or Demand Dahling (pictured further below left) or Nancy Nosecandy (pictured further below center).
Amanda Lepore and Cazwell are in San Francisco this weekend filming her new video for "Marilyn" and to do a show at Club 8; so Amanda wasn't on hand to sip Stoli with in VIP. In her place was the bodyguarded-up (and vodka'd-down) American Idol alum Adam Lambert. Eric Halliwell and I dropped in to VIP as we normally do to say hi to Bill Coleman, who was dancing to the Chew Fu mix of Rihanna's "Hard" when we made our way over to Adam. He was tucked into the corner behind the speakers to Bill's left, not on the couch where Amanda sits so she can see the crowd. His Stoli bottle was half empty. There seemed to be more bodyguards than friends with him. We said hello. Eric took a couple quick snaps when his bodyguards shooed us away with "No pictures of Adam." He was certainly partying hard. But we all do. And take lots of pictures as we do. Here's Kyle (pictured below left), giving us a little Leigh Bowery, and James, bringing bloody back with his Justin Timberlake look (pictured below right).
That's why Francis Legge (pictured just above left) sets up a green screen on the mezzanine level with his camera to film visuals for the party every week. We get trashed and act silly and document it for posterity. Everyone drifts in and out, like Devon Stone (pictured just above right), who hosted the Cage Room where the Daisy Spurs performed, and the guy in the middle who's name I didn't catch. Everyone, that is, but Adam. Clearly, he was trying to have a quiet evening after his Highline show. That's why he came out to the F Word, of course, to get trashed and silly with us, without the photographic evidence, aside from Eric's quick snaps. Too bad there aren't any of Adam from making out with a friend of mine, who somehow ended up with Adam's phone in the encounter.
Far less camera—and always gorgeous and charming—was RuPaul's Drag Race Season 2 star Sahara Davenport (pictured above). I congratulated her again for making it rain on last week's episode and cannot wait for Monday's new one. Two more lovely ladies who were out to dance the night away were Monique Fontaine (pictured below left) and Britney Houston (pictured below right).
Also there was go-go extraordinaire Matthew Camp, of course, giving us both blood and a black heart, and holding court in the Cage Room before roaming around to mingle.
