MAJOR! Thanks to everyone who made it out, and the die hard fans who came to brave the stand by line. We had a blast and the after party was the icing on a very delicious cake. Sylvia London and Brian Rafferty hosted like no other and Allan Kustonovich killed it early to get the party going. Much love XXX
Flloyd is a SPANK star. He floored everyone with his performance at our horror loft party and graced us with a series of drawings of “dark flowers” in issue 13 of SPANK.
Here we present part 1 of a 3 part series of new drawings by Flloyd. These are EGYPT.
Ya ya there is a boat party scheduled for this issue release as well, but some people are scared of boats!
(Oh ya, and the boat party is now sold out…) If you didn’t get tickets to the boat party, come to The Hose and get your free issue there!

We’ve been going to this outdoor summer music / art series at MoMA’s Long Island City branch since it began long long ago, so we are honored to have been asked to play there this summer. They always have outdoor sculpture created just for the Warm Up series; this year the whole thing is covered in monster fur. You have been warned.
Come early to avoid the lines!! We do sets from 3PM – 4PM and again from 5PM – 6PM. Concept go-go by The Pixie Harlots, wow!! Expect some other SPANK surprise shenanigans as well, you know how we do! Presented by Agnes B (xoxo)

O.T.K Discipline delivered exactly on its promise. There was art all over everything, and I mean everything. From the paddles and tee shirts, to the large scale drawings, sculptures, video, and even a fort…yes a fort. It was killer!
Check the pics, lots of fun, and great performances. As always Gio Black Peter tore it up, and this time with local NYC artist Brian Kenny on the mic. Their collaborative paddles were amazing, total collectors item with a purpose.
On July 4th all the inhabitants of Fire Island and their many guests crowd the Ferry port. They come not just to celebrate the 4th, but the Invasion of hundreds of Drag performers to the island. The ferry boat (no pun intended) that we all take to get to our getaway is jam packed with drag queens and kings, performers and celebutants all dolled up for the occasion. they descend on a red carpet to the crowd of hundreds. The Golden Girls, Will and Grace characters, ninja fan maidens, beautiful ladies (Justin), pearl dripping penis heads (Machine!) and everything in between.
It wasn’t really any one thing that grabbed me as much as the overall creativity involved and the reception of the crowd. It was surging, people we cheering, everyone was excited. It was one of the best times I’ve ever had, and will surely be back next year.
