So 80s…
A bright look at the
creatures who ruled the night
I paid for this book!
Never paid to
get into a club.
If I paid for a drink it was to make a point.
Knew who
had the drink tickets.
Knew who had the party favors. If only it was just to
know.
Oh, it as was so 80s.
Should money be spent for a NYC 80s party, it best go
into the pockets of Patrick McMullan. Right next to
the tiny camera that he chronicled
every party worth
partying in a decade where the
party was it.
From outlaw parties to ones where real royalty held
court-- not just the
drag queens, Patrick and his
itsy-bitsy camera were there. Every diva
on the scene
knows he must have enough photos to wallpaper all the
ceilings downtown. Patrick shares a mere 400 odd pages
worth of those black and white, party hardy, been
there done that images in
so8os: A Photographic Diary of a Decade.
But my favorite Patrick photo only I cherish-- it's
the one that he snapped of my idol Audrey Hepburn with
me that's perched near my desk.
Let the good times roll…
