P is for Puh-Party

Along with apples and pumpkins and back-to-school shopping, fall apparently brings us scads of new parties. I'm workin' on getting myself out to all of them, but in the meantime these three are where you should be boozin' and dancin'.

Some of NYC's fiercest glamazons - led by Kevin Aviance, Shane Savant, Austin Head, and Acid Betty - create panic on the runway at this weekly performance, art, fashion, rock'n'roll debacle. There's free candy, the hosts give out drink tickets like, well, candy, and if you're super sweet DJ Jeffo just might play that obscure Kate Bush song you've been dying to dance to. Seen last week: designer Zaldy and the boys of Dangerous Muse. Go now before every faggot in the city kicks back the covers and hops out of bed for this Thursday night spectacle.

Boston's long-running queer punk rock dance party is taking New York by storm. This clusterfuck of bois, grrrls, tranies, and the breeders who love them settles into the Delancey on the second Friday of every month and injects a much needed DIY queer sensibility back into the Lower East Side. Expect live bands, scrawny go-go boys, and DJ Sir Loins' infamous sausage links.

Usually home to the posher-than-thou, Guest House lets the riff raff in on Sunday nights for Les Freaques. Sophia Lamar, Milan (of Da LipStyxx), and Jose the Hopper host a cast of fabulous freaks, including Skyla Versai and Gaisha Anne Rysee as the Ice Breaker Match Makers at the Friends of Friends table and DJ Tekshur as the cutest fucking DJ on the planet. Opening night saw Nicky London celebrate his birthday, plus appearances by UK club legends Stefán and Mika Doll. See you there next week. You pay for the bottle service.
