WALK ON THE WILD SIDE
Getting tranimalized in Echo Park is one thing, but participants looked so good, they just couldn’t let it go to waste amid the American Apparel set. So off they herded to Mustache Mondays at La Cita, where Phey often hosts the midnight show, and none other than Peaches was buzzed to be doing a surprise performance. Though a bit drag-drained (for once), we were all set to join, when we got a text tip that Mz. P (whose beau was set to DJ but got sick) would be a no-show. Her tour opener, Amanda Blank, did end up making an appearance that eve, though not on the mic. The Mustache boys have been busier than ever these days, it seems. Mondays are still madness, but the guys also have a new party called Weave (which semi-regularly sprouts up at various spots around downtown such as the Alexandria Hotel, and more recently — and riotously — the new fashion/music/artspace Freak City in Hollywood). There’s also a new weekly called Taste at M House (a.k.a. Asian eatery Dinner House M). With semihidden locales, underground vibes and, of course, plenty of tranimals and S/heenas trolling about, this is one party pack making sure it’s still a jungle out there.
