Scissor Sisters at Bowery Ballroom
So the Scissor Sisters performed at Bowery this past weekend. I was there; Karl Lagerfeld was there. I did not know what he looked like until a crowd of men standing next to me became giddy as schoolgirls when they spotted him and a shorthaired Kylie Minogue together on the balcony. But you probably could have guessed he was a fashonista from the giant Count Dracula collar of his shirt, which actually looked like a pair of fangs with a tiny black bowtie floating in the middle. Not to mention his permanent shades and white hair slicked back into a ponytail. He stood with a stoic posture the entire show. At one point, my friend turned to me and said in a Karl Lagerfeld voice (whatever that may be), "This planet is interesting, I am glad I landed my spaceship here."
Obviously the Sissor Sisters put on a fabulous show. Sunday was probably the most in-your-face display of flamboyance I have ever seen in person. Everybody in the crowd sang along and danced like crazy. On stage there was high-stepping, skipping, twirling, and lots sexual maneuvers with the mic stand. And yes, Jake’s shirt had to come off at the end.
