GAYLETTER

The Museum of Sex is hosting a new Sunday Voguing Tea Dance series to coincide with the celebration of Pride month — this is the second of the three Sundays, if you can’t make this one there’s still the next Sunday, June 18th. “Celebrating the highly stylized, global phenomenon of house dance originating in the late 1980s that arose from the Harlem ballroom scene of the 60s, the extravaganza will bring together Voguers from many of the key Houses in NYC. Showcasing all styles of the art form of Voguing, including Old-way, New-way, Runway, Posing, Pop-dip-and-spin, Arms and all that comes with it…” The night will take place in the MoSex’s Disco Bar where the exhibition Night Fever: New York Disco 1977-1979, The Bill Bernstein Photographs — make sure you check that out, we are trying to contribute to your gay education here. It’s an installation that “invites viewers to experience the freedom and intoxication of the disco era.” As far as GAYLETTER is concerned it’s not a proper Pride party if there’s not a ball. We have been doing a Pride Ball for the last 3 years at the Wythe Hotel and this year The House of Mugler is performing at our Ping Pong party — Yup that was a plug. In the meantime go to the Sex Museum and enjoy performances by members from a few houses including Cesar Valentino, Javier Ninja, Bootz Mizrahi, Jack Mizrahi and others. Music is by DJ ChipChop Gonzalez. Come on, Vogue, Vogue, Vogue...  —Abi
