Legendary downtown nightclub impresario Don Hill died age 66. Yes its true. Don Hill owned the SoHo nightspot Don Hill’s which housed the rock n roll fag bar Squeezebox that I performed at almost everytime I was in New York back in the 1990s. Not only did I do solo shows with the Squeezebox houseband backing me up,but I also performed at the club with by queercore band PME(Pedro, Muriel & Esther) with Glen Meadmore and Cholita the Female Menudo with LA punk legend Alice Bag. The New York punk elite went crazy for Alice, who has always been a figure of interest to east coast punk purists.
I didn’t know Don Hill that well, but he was always gracious and accommodating to me and my entourage, as well as encouraging saying to me that he has seen a lot of acts in his day but none quite like mine. I think I really got his goad with my Vagimulic brand of lunacy whether I was performing Filipino psychic surgery as Saint Salicia Tate, doing total black body as supermodel Alek Wek or shrimping the robust and large bare feet of young nubile lower Manhattan “It” boys.
I know I will never forget Don Hill and my time spent under the umbrella of his establishment.
Got a note from DJ and Berlin fixture Snax that he will be the in-house pianist during dinner hours of the restaurant 3 Schwestern. Below is a link for more info

ICH HABE MEIN BESTER GEGEBEN
Sweet asexual Fagademic Sean Nye came by the Cheese Endique Trifecta the other evening. We had a nice evening drinking white wine spritzer’s, snacking and shooting the breeze.
Actor Farley Granger became the third Hollywood star to die in a week’s time following Elizabeth Taylor and Jane Russell. Mr. Granger was quite a handsome Ganymede in his heyday of the late 1940s to mid 1950s. He co-starred with Alida Valli in the beautiful 1953 Visconti film Senso, as well as two Hitchcock films Rope and Strangers on Train with homosexual overtones.
Tonight I went with Daniel Hendrickson the Jewish Muslim to Arsenal’s KinoPolska to see the film Everything For Sale 1968 by Andrzej Wajda that is an experimental take on the death of the famous Polish James Dean—Zbigniew Cybulski. Polish women are so sexy and stylish and the ones in this film sizzle with their mod looks and false eyelashes. The only good looking Polish dude in this flick is humpy ginger Daniel Olbrychski who slugs an icky blondine queen who comes on to him in the toilet.

SEIN ODER NICHTSEIN
O poor Mrs. Angela Merkel and her fugly CDU party have suffered a major defeat, and the Green Party have won a sweet victory. For the first time in six decades icky conservatives are not on top in German politics. Yahoo!
Last night at Rising Stars Falling Stars the Blue Brothers performed their special brand of alchemy with sweeping style and bravado. Not only were they super focused and concentrated but their playing nicely highlighted the emotional pull of the 1928 German silent Rasputin’s Love Mis-Adventure directed by Martin Berger featuring the extroidinary cinematography of Laszlo Schaeffer. The Hungarian lensmen Mr. Schaeffer worked in Berlin in the 1920s and moved to Hollywood in 1939. I briefly knew Mr. Schaeffer when he was my neighbor at the Karnak Apt Building in Hollywood in 1978/79.
But getting back to the Blue Brothers. I really love when they play cello and violin. The musical movements that they create with these two instruments are always their best work, and its magical watching them.
