    Best gay songs: 30–21 30 “City Grrrl” by CSS Bad girls and gay boys have always been besties, and this 2011 track from Brazilian combo Cansei de Ser Sexy is a loving ode to that special relationship. Lead singer Lovefoxxx looks back on adolescent fantasies of "being busy with my job and my gay friends, laughing and drinking with my one-night stands" in the "big city." Anyone who's ever felt trapped in a small town (and eventually escaped) will definitely relate. —Ethan LaCroix Download on Amazon www.youtube.com/watch?v=duOA3FgpZqY 29 “Your Loving Arms” by Billie Ray Martin Most gay dance anthems are packed with drama of both the lyrical and vocal variety. But in 1994, German singer Billie Ray Martin invaded clubland with this icy floor filler that's so calm she almost seems detached. Don't let that near-monotone fool you, though—Martin is a formidable vocalist, and when she finally cuts loose ("Burning inside, burning inside, yeah!"), it's a master class in the art of delayed gratification.—Ethan LaCroix Download on Amazon www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVukIhibLYM 28 “Viz” by Le Tigre Before forming her dance-DJ-production project MEN, JD Samson stepped up to the mike as a member of this electro-rock trio. "Viz" (2004), about butch-lesbian visibility, offers an early glimpse of Samson's sly humor and her ability to make radical queer politics into dance-floor fodder. Bandmates Kathleen Hanna and Johanna Fateman join in on the final chorus for a joyous feminist sing-along.—Ethan LaCroix Download on Amazon www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMcCNzUyG5I 27 “The Jean Genie” by David Bowie The copper mullet, the lightning bolt across the face—in 1972, Bowie was at the peak of his androgynous alien phase, pushing Ziggy Stardust closer to the sun until he incinerated in a flash.

  • Lady Miss Kier
    Lady Miss Kier Kier Kirby más conocida como Lady Miss Kier, mítica vocalista, co-productora y bailarina de los no menos míticos Deee Lite. Este combo neoyorquino con talante cosmopolita fue fundado en 1986 por la propia Kier y Super Dj Dimitry, a quienes poco después se unió Towa Tey conformando el núcleo definitivo de esa máquina de fabricar hits para las pistas de baile. Su primer single \"Groove Is In The Heart\", editado en el 91, que paso de ser un white label para dj\'s a vender millones de copias, significaba un equilibrio perfecto entre las demandas del mercado pop y las necesidades de las pistas de baile, resumiendo el hedonismo químico de aquella época. Su debut en formato álbum \"World Clique\" llegó poco después, un trabajo que ellos mismo calificaron como \"holographic techno soul\" y que fusionaba p funk, breaks, house y techno. La Kier ejerció además de estilista y directora de arte del grupo, asumiendo desde el diseño de vestuario hasta el concepto de los videos y el diseño gráfico. Su segundo álbum, \"Infinity Within\", llegó un año más tarde y constituía un disco de protesta en contra de la guerra del golfo y a favor del pacifismo. Musicalmente continuaba profundizando en las premisas Deee Lite aunque se orientaba hacia un contexto ligeramente más electrónico. Su último álbum oficial fue \"Dewdrop In The Garden\" (1994) -a parte del recopilatorio de rarezas \"Sampladelic Relics & Dancefloor Oddities\" (1996)- un ejercicio de liberación sexual alimentado de sustancias alucinógenas que marcaba el punto final en la trayectoria de una banda genial e inclasificable.

New York was an important center of artistic activism and enterprise in the early seventies and it produced a burgeoning alternative arts movement that was largely spearheaded by artists.

    Press Release THIERRY MUGLER: COUTURISSIME April 3 – August 30, 2020 For the first time in Germany, the Kunsthalle München is presenting an exhibition about the French creator Thierry Mugler. It is initiated, produced and circulated by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, in collaboration with the Maison Mugler. The exhibition is curated by Thierry-Maxime Loriot under the direction of Nathalie Bondil, Director General and Chief Curator of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. This spectacularly staged retrospective presents the multifaceted work of this visionary couturier, director, photographer and perfumer. It showcases more than 150 haute couture and prêt-à-porter outfi ts, stage costumes and accessories, videos, photographs, design sketches, and archival material created between 1977 and 2014. Some 100 works by famous fashion photographers who have staged Mugler’s creations, from Helmut Newton (1920–2004) to David LaChapelle (*1963), round out the exhibition. In the early 1970s, Mugler, who was trained as a classical ballet dancer, revolutionized fashion by countering the fl owing bohemian looks of the hippie era with morphological and futuristic cuts as well as sculptural, elegant, and form-fi tting silhouettes. With his designs, Mugler lent heroic strength to the people he once described as “fragile, beautiful creatures”. In times of cocooning, of retreating from a world perceived as unmanageable and threatening into a domestic private life, Mugler created glamorous armor that transformed women into superheroines by borrowing from the world of animals and myths as well as from the universe of modern technology and architecture. He experimented with innovative materials such as metal, Plexiglas, fake fur, vinyl and latex.
