Could you serve sex appeal in leather & lace at 7am? We took a journey at the crack of dawn to The Black Party, one of the original and longest running circuit parties in the world.

The party pumped the beats for 16 hours, billed as a 90’s twisted glam space pastiche inspired by the seminal book and movie adaptation of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” wherein the number “42” is “the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
The 3 floor, multi-room party included Extreme suspension art and piercings by Will Atkins, Body painting by Gio Black Peter, a hot wax performance by Jaclyn Atkinson, a sunrise pas de deux by Curtis Faulkner and JMV.
Dancefloor moments by Lee Soulja & GXtravaganza, ALONE performing an original remix of his song, “Beautiful Life” by Quentin Harris, and performance of The Gurls/After Mine by Madame007 featuring Lynda PinkLady, MARZ Labeija, Stephen LaBeija and Cree 007.
100% of the proceeds benefit The Saint Foundation, the mission of which is to acquire and preserve artifacts of New York City LGBT nightlife of the post-Stonewall era in order to create a chronicle of the socio-economic, political and cultural history of the New York LGBT community.
