As I may have mentioned, I have been cast as an extra in Michael Lucas’ adult version of La Dolce Vita. Today, a fashion show was shot for the movie, and NYC’s downtown scenesters were out in full force. Playing the part of a paparazzo, I had camera in hand and was encouraged to take as many photos as I’d like (so I went hog wild). Kevin Aviance, looking every bit the triumphant diva, marched down the runway with his new dance track “Strut” blasting from the speakers. The seated crowd needed no prodding from the production staff to jump to their feet and applaud the return of a true NYC icon (I friggin’ LOVED it). Amanda Lepore (who I have to say looked great) was also in attendance, as well as writer Michael Musto and, unless somebody spiked my drink and I hallucinated, I’m pretty sure I saw the Cowboy from The Village People! [Ed note: You did!]
