Can’t believe the large amount of people who came out to my solo visual art exhibition at Invisible-Exports Gallery. I put the finishing touches of nail polish on the 16 frieze sculpture panels early morning November 20th. The exhibit also features 10 special edition acetate records with a recorded manifesto text and abstract make-up painting on Vaginal Davis stationary. Some collectors even bought some of the sculptures and the records at the opening. Prices aren’t inflated so run down to the gallery and get your New York bargain.
I asked my gallerists the lovely Risa Needleman and handsome Benjamin Tischer to give me the hoedown on who was there as I stayed in the gallery office in a corner holding court. Here is the celebutant guest list: The sexy Gala Tischer, craft artisan Dean Holdiman, Michel Auder of the Zanzibar Film movement who is directing the movie version of our Magic Flute production, Lia Gangitano of Participant Inc. and juicy lover T, Doug McClemont of the mega Marlborough Gallery who use to be the mortician to the stars with his lovesexysweet young muscular well endowed Nubian lover,the incredibly stylish Art Forum writer extroidinaire Alex Jovanovich, the mega hunky artiste Jeff Ono with his beautiful baby boy, Egypts prettiest choreographer Adham Hafez the artistic director of the HaRaKa Dance Development and Research Company with his fab posse of Cindy Sibilsky (the fierino redhead sculptress turned Broadway producer of the musical version of Xaviera Hollander’s 'Happy Hooker' whilst working closely on it with Ms. Hollander herself!!!

The after party was held at Bengala West on scenic West 10th Street in a spacious flat that housed Leonard Bernstein in the 1940s, Mark Twain, Emma Lazarus, Max Ernst and Marcel Duchamp who lived down the block to be near the Chess Club which is still there. The Womans House of Detention that housed Angela Davis when she was the FBI’s most wanted is also on this street. Of course I had to leave my own party early so that I could wake up early and be at the 80 WSE Gallery at 9am to prepare for the NY Choral Society and the Horkheimer Arquestra who would be coming in for their first big rehearsals. No rest for the exceedingly wicked.
