  • Baird, Alison 2019
    IF YOU’RE ON THE OUTSIDE, YOU’RE IN: THE INFAMOUS RED VELVET ROPE CULTURE AT STUDIO 54 A Senior Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in American Studies By Alison P. Baird Washington, D.C. April 15, 2019 IF YOU’RE ON THE OUTSIDE, YOU’RE IN: THE NOTORIOUS RED VELVET ROPE CULTURE AT STUDIO 54 Alison P. Baird Thesis Adviser: Ellen Gorman, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Studio 54, the infamous New York City discotheque open from 1977 to 1980, was a notorious site in New York City for not only being one of the most sought-after venues in nightlife, but also for its ruthless red velvet rope culture. Disco was a defining artifact in American culture in the 1970s and greatly reflected the social and political atmosphere across the country. With the culmination of various political upheavals such as the Vietnam War and the Watergate Scandal, many Americans simply wanted to party, use drugs, and openly explore their sexuality. Studio 54 was, arguably, the most influential and well-known of the many discos— admired and loathed by those within and on the outside of the disco scene. Many outsiders and eager spectators observed the club as exclusionary and dictator-like. This thesis deconstructs the red velvet rope culture and analyzes the innate behavior and qualities of the clubbers with the aim to understand how these people contributed to the tremendous popularity of Studio 54. Gossip columns, newspapers, tabloids and archived footage offers compelling insight to the way of the disco-door as well as the qualities and behaviors that club goers possessed as such to gain admission.

  • Queens, NY, USA Cyndi Lauper Is a Grammy, Emmy
    CYNDI LAUPER (Composer and Lyricist) Date of Birth: June 22, 1953 Place of Birth: Queens, NY, USA Cyndi Lauper is a Grammy, Emmy and Tony Award-winning artist, who, after 30 sterling years and global record sales in excess of 50 million albums, has proven that she has the heart and soul to keep her legion of fans compelled by her every creative move. With her first album, She's So Unusual, Lauper won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist and became the first female in history to have four top-five singles from a debut album on the Billboard 100 chart (“Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” “Time After Time", “She Bop,” and “All Through the Night”). In the summer of 2013, Cyndi embarked on the She's So Unusual Tour to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the record. Since then, Lauper has released ten additional studio albums, with her most recent, the Grammy nominated Memphis Blues, ruling the Billboard Blues Chart for 14 consecutive weeks to become the best­ selling blues album of 2010. Her upcoming 11th studio album, Detour, recorded late last year in Nashville, will showcase her signature takes on classic country songs from the 1950’s and 60’s. The album will also feature appearances by some of country music’s most-celebrated artists. Overall, during her storied music career, Lauper has been nominated for 15 Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, seven American Video Awards and 18 MTV Awards. On June 18th, 2015 Lauper was inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame. In 2013, Lauper became the first female composer to win a Tony Award for her score of the year’s Best Musical, Kinky Boots, which she penned alongside Harvey Fierstein.

  • Cyndi Lauper See Additional Teacher Resources At
    Women who Rock Cyndi Lauper See additional teacher resources at http://rockhall.com/education ESSAY Cyndi Lauper is one of the most iconic and recognizable pop stars of the last thirty years. Born in 1953 in Queens, New York, she burst onto the scene with her debut album, She’s So Unusual (1983), which earned her a GRAMMY award for Best New Artist and made her the first female artist in history to have four consecutive top ten singles from one album. Lauper’s musical influences are vast and dominated by powerful women musicians, including Big Mama Thornton (blues), Wanda Jackson (rockabilly), Joni Mitchell (singer-songwriter), Darlene Love and Ronnie Spector (rock and roll), Mavis Staples (gospel/soul), Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart (hard rock), and Debbie Harry of Blondie (punk/new wave). This diversity of taste has been echoed in her recording career, which has produced releases in a wide range of styles, including pop (“Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” 1983), adult contemporary (“Time After Time,” 1984), rock (“I Drove All Night,” 1989), jazz (At Last, 2003), acoustic (The Body Acoustic, 2005), dance (“Into the Nightlife,” 2008), and blues (Memphis Blues, 2010). Throughout her career, Lauper has worked tirelessly to inspire and motivate people worldwide. An unwavering advocate for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) equality since the start of her career, Lauper founded the True Colors Fund in 2008. The non-profit seeks to inspire and engage everyone, particularly the straight community, to become involved in the advancement of LGBT equality. In appreciation for her work, Lauper has been honored by many organizations including the Human Rights Campaign, GLSEN and PFLAG.
