(Back to Part One)
So, with the party jumping, Andrew Einhorn, Spencer Tunick and I were
ready to put our scheming minds into action. Spencer
is an artist famous for getting thousands of people to get naked and
lie down in public spaces. (Homeboy even had a fancy
documentry made about him. Ta-dow!)
At some point earlier in the night I asked Spencer (thinking
I'd all shock him and shit),
"If I can get a bunch of people to get naked, will you do one of
your installations iin my room?" Without missing a beat, Spence
pulled a stack of postcards with his work on them and said "Hand
these out and tell everyone that participates that they'll get a print
of the shot. We'll shoot at midnight."
Me with Xio, Mari and Pris (note the stack of "Sign up to pose"
cards in my hand). Tee-hee-hee.
C'mon on in a get yer nooodie pic taken!
Just after midnight, twenty-two brave souls disrobed in my spare bedroom
and filed into my room for the shoot. Spencer's brother stood guard
at the door - if you weren't participating, you weren't allowed in.
At this point I handed off my camera to Andrew to snap some pics...
Some guy, Sarah, me and Jen and Peter (two of my *gasp* co-workers!).
Andrew managed to snap off over 40 pics with my cam - but it takes so
long to black out all the naughty bits that I've only posted a few here.
(If you were one of the nooodies and you want to see some of the rest,
email me
and I'll send 'em to you.)
Check out the birthday girl in her birthday suit! Wooooo!
We were all standing and Spencer instructed us all to simultaneously
lie down at the same time in "whatever position we fell into."
Andrew hands me back my cam. (If you look left of me you'll see I left
in one nipple for all you pervs. Suh-weet!)
Once Emma got back out of her birthday suit, it was time for birthday
doughnuts!
Me, Nina and Ron.
Grants coldlamp poses have never really been the same since that
fateful night at The Hole.
When was the last time you saw four blondies together? Me and Nina with
the Dolgen siblings.
Lo, Grant, Emma (pulling her patented "I'm pretty drunk" face)
and me.
Special thanks to my main man Matty Matt for keeping the music going
all night. (Yo, this kid's been spinning records at our house parties
since all the
way back in 1997!)
Emma feigning sobriety while I give my best Jodeci face (which usually
means that I'm drunk).
Birthday crack!
After this pic of Nina and I was taken, Josh looked at it and said to
Grant, "Whoa, gross. I can't belive you used to hump Brian's sister."
Josh, Grant and myself with Jess and her "two friends." (Dennis
Crowley said it best in a recent email: "this may be one of
the best photos ever snapped w/ a digicam.")
Matty, Emma, Brian Chambers, Mark Bibbins (aka - The Notorious B.I.B.),
Nina and me.
Josh looks pensive while Nina shows her tummy.
If you look in the upper, left corner you can see Lorelei's hand trying
to grab the bottle of EarlyTimes away from Joey. I wish I could've recorded
her scolding him. (Lorelie: "Joey! Put that down! Stop that!"
Joey: "I wasn't really drinking it! I was pretending to
drink it!")
Brian C. (former resident of 105 Bowery) and Vic and me (current residents
of 105 Bowery).
Around
2am, the party started winding down...
...so we took the remainders on the road to hit the East Village for
a little afterhours action.
Jason and _______.
Avenue C and 6th.
Birthday girl.
Me and Lorelei.
Jack Wright finds himself on the business end of two-girl headscratch.
Emma leaned down laughing and put her hair right into a candle that
was lit on the table. I was torn between putting it out (which I did)
or firing up the cam and getting a pic of her aflame.
There were clumps of hair like this all over the place.
Mmmmm....smells like burning!
When Emma got up to head home, she left a pile of "hair ash"
behind.
