Bon Candiversaire: Take Two

Let Us Entertain You, Adam Lambert

Before Eric Halliwell and I were shooed out of the VIP that we are in every Friday, Eric was able to snap this picture (above) of Adam Lambert. Click here to get a good look at his eyes. We were all partying down at the F Word, the weekly night of fantastical mayhem thrown by NYC Nightlife legend Michael Formika Jones and Mark Nelson. I look forward to it—not just last Friday when I DJ'ed there—because the F Word is the kind of party that I love New York for throwing. I'm glad that Lambert was able to unwind with us after his show at the Highline earlier in the evening. I know those of us who go every week are there because we have a blast. We dance, drink, and take lots of pictures we can laugh with later, like those I love taking of Demanda Dahling (pictured below) and DivaSteve (pictured with Demanda). I cannot wait for the Valentine's Day party tomorrow that Demanda is hosting and I'm DJ'ing.






Here are some more shots of Kyle, both alone and with James (further down, left).


That's Eric Halliwell (click either of his names here to see his websites) in between the shots of James just above. We canvassed the club while Francis Legge, my roaming buddy earlier, was busy filming everyone in front of the green screen, including Monique Fontaine (pictured below) and Nancy Nosecandy (pictured further below).


Also there was my friend Dzu (pictured further down), who let his hands do the talking with Demanda Dahling. It was more for effect, not because she couldn't hear him above the steady thump.

Happy Valentine's Day, Adam Lambert

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.
