free food and booze .. mark (cobrasnake) was getting his dinner on ..











the acrobats and entertainment were pretty sweet ...




























Stopped into the Bowery Hotel for a minute. So many rooms (indoor and outdoors), so many peeps decked out in costumes, paul sevigny's band played, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Somehow managed to catch up with Jody amongst the crowds of peeps....(Jody, Nicole and I)

Finally dipped out and made it over to "The Box" for some debauchery with the lovely Lupe...PLACE WAS PACKED, the entire venue was the stage, and clothes were minimal to non-existant at times.

Paper Magazine Nightlife Awards



Paper Mag Nightlife Awards

For the third year in a row, a who's who of the freaks that make up the New York nightlife world came out to drink, be merry and get up to no good at PAPER Magazine's Nightlife Awards, presented by DIESEL.com, and held this year at the lovely and disco-ball-heavy Spotlight Studios in Times Square. Perez Hilton hosted; Lady Bunny DJ-ed; Q-Tip performed; Dos Equis and Svedka kindly provided the bevvies; shenanigans ensued. Highlights included:
Jackson Pollis, the (is he legal yet?) "fourth" Misshape filling in for absentee presenters Benjamin Cho and Moby. "You may know me from my Grammy-winning album Play featuring Gwen Stefani," he deadpanned.

Village Voice columnist Michael Musto, gay porn bad-boy Michael Lucas and PAPER's Mickey Boardman super-bantering during the People's Choice Awards segment of the evening, which devolved into a discussion of who on stage was a "bottom" and Michael Lucas bearing his six-pack.

Perez Hilton karaoke-ing to "Hit Me With Your Best Shot"

Seeing the issue of PAPER on a jumbo screen outside of Spotlight Studios shining onto Times Square. We were kind of tearing up!

Perez Hilton making models Coco Rocha and Behati Prinsloo (whose name he didn't even pretend to be able to pronounce) walk the runway (i.e. the stage) and telling them if they wanted to make it onto his blog, they best make out. They didn't, alas. But still made it onto his blog.

Sally Singer and Andre J making a perfectly absurd and wonderful presenting duo!

The identically-dressed Six Six Sick girls winning the award for Best Party and Jordan Silver (whose party Circus 68 did not win) going up and throwing the microphone onto the stage.

Presenters Luigi Tadini and Kate Schelter -- they're just really, really cute.

Lady Bunny and (a disrobed) Andre J having what appeared to be a dance-off following the awards and preceding Q-Tip.

Q-Tip, Q-Tip and more Q-Tip! He played a medium-length, quite amazing set, featuring new stuff and old chestnuts like Electric Relaxation (from his Tribe days), "Breathe and Stop" and "Vivrant Thing." Clad in sweatpants and a long-sleeved T-shirt, Q-Tip tore the house down. His new album, The Renaissance is out Dec. 18.
