The Nexus

 (Rodiney Santiago, Laverne Cox, Reichen Lehmkuhl & Derek)
 
It might seem like everyone and their mother is getting a reality show, but the odds of a camera crew following you around as you flip tables and make out with strangers is pretty small. Unless, that is, you get over to Josh Wood and Jared Needle's Rooftop party at the Hudson Terrace on Sunday, Septemeber 12. That's when  The A List, Logo’s queer answer to The Real Housewives franchise, is taping there for an upcoming episode.  The show’s supercouple, Reichen Lehmkuhl and Rodiney Santiago, will guest host alongside Ladyfag, Claudio Braz and Darrell Elmore. You've about a week to get your ass in shape and look kiki for the party—and the cameras!


Rooftop at at the Hudson Terrace, 621 W 46th St, (btwn 11th Ave/West Side Hwy), 212-315-9400, joshwoodproductions.com. Sept 12 from 6pm–midnight. $5.

We thought we'd get through 2010 without another gay bar closing, but we just recieved word that Trip, the nightclub formerly known as Elevate (and Access for a hot minute) ceased operations last night, with its owners unable to keep up with the costs of operation. A statement from owner Rickey Mercado and promoter Charles Winters spells out the details:

KISS ME KATY
Several weeks ago, we heard that Song of Summer front-runner Katy Perry was going to be making an appearance at The F Word. Then came a rushed e-mail that the whole thing was off. Well the California Gurl must’ve change her mind because she did indeed drop into Splash’s Friday-night freak fest. The club teamed up with Wigbar, the wigmakers to the stars, to doll its dancers up with some looks evoking “Peacock,” her new paean to the male member. “We thought it would be hot to put all of the go-go boys in colorful sexy mohawks—or "homohawks" as we called them—to fit the occasion better,” says Wigbar’s Isaac Davidson. “We ended up making and applying 15 in total.” Davidson admits not saying a peep about the “special guest star” was the really tough part.  “She had to use the downstairs dressing room because her costume—a glowing peacock tail—couldn't fit through the off-stage dressing room's path to the stage. Which is probably better, being that we had the upstairs one full of hair, go-go boys, drag queens and trannies!” Lady Perry arrived just before midnight with an entourage of more than 30 party people, then hit the stage to perform “Peacock” and then changed into a tight little number to belt out “California Gurls.”  The night might not have been the stuff of Teenage Dreams, but it certainly was a fag fantasy!

(Jake Shears & Ana Matronic @ High Bar)
 
Ana Matronic promised to make love to Terminal 5 last night, when the Scissor Sisters played their second and final New York show. (She was schooling us about objectsexuals, those who seek physical relationships with man-made structures.) Well, she and the boys gave the venue the ride of a lifetime—and then some—with a mind-blowing, ass-shaking set that included new tracks "Fire With Fire" and "Any Which Way" as well as old faves like "Take Your Mama Out" and "Laura," and  two rousing encores.

After packing the Midtown venue with a cross-section of hipsters, homos and disco enthusiasts, the hometown gang high-kicked it over to High Bar for an intimate though still star-studded after-party, which doubled as a benefit for LifeBeat, the music industry's response to the AIDS crisis. “You never know what you’re going to get with New York [crowds]” said a positively glowing post-show Matronic. “People might be having it until the break of dawn or they’ could be standing there and fanning themselves with their sunglasses saying ‘Prove it to me! Prove it to me!’” she said as Adam Lambert strolled by and congratulated her on a job well done. “Thankfully in our case, people were having it! We worked really hard to get that adulation. We’re the kind of band that feeds off the crowd. The more insane people get in the audience, the more insane we’ll get on stage!”
