Amanda Lepore

There is to be no more upbeat music for downtown kids. Motherfucker, which billed itself as “the biggest Rock party in New York City,” is dunzo, according to one of its four organizers, someone named Michael T. Always held on the eve of a major holiday, the party was first thrown over Memorial Day Weekend back in 2000. Its most recent—and, as it happens, final—jamboree got underway just last Halloween. Touting the slogan “Motherfucker’s Monster Mash-Night of 1,000 Monsters!,” the trick-or-treat bash was held at Rebel, a nightclub on West 30th Street in Chelsea. If the party has in fact ended, one thing's for sure: This Motherfucker will surely be missed by more than a few reigning members of the city's hardest partying, most creative and wildly funky social tiers.

Out of The Daily Transom mailbag yesterday came an extra special invitation. Like a pair of beacons on a foggy horizon, all pink and precious, was the announcement of Amanda Lepore’s birthday party, which will be held at Star Lounge tonight. Then we realized that the fog wasn’t fog at all—it was déjà vu! Ms. Lepore, the transgender fashion icon made famous as the face of fashion label Heatherette and MAC cosmetics, has already had at least one birthday party. Well, according to Michael Musto anyway. The Village Voice writer’s column this week dives feet-first into Ms. Lepore’s Lotus libations, where the fuzzy scribe was kicked out by a beefy security guy. Maybe Mr. Musto’s exile has turned Ms. Lepore into a Paris-Hilton-on-New-Year’s or a Patrick-McMullan-after-publishing-a-book type. Then again, perhaps the evening’s sponsors and the birthday girl just dig publicity.

Where Dreams Come True: Making the scene with Robert Verdi, Amanda Lepore, Janice Dickinson, Miss U.S.A., Miss Universe and porn queen Jenna Jameson, who answers the question, "What residue are you left with as a byproduct of your career?" The Pud-Pounder: Doug Dechert, who's currently working at pimping out Page Sixer Richard Johnson's artist son, celebrated his 49th birthday this weekend. Is he still pissed off about a betrayal by his old teenage lover, Abigail Vona, and her pals like Jay McInerney? Oh hell yes. But how was the party? "I think it's a very nice event; it's a lovely crowd of people, and I wish Doug the best. But I would imagine this would be the same scene at his funeral," said a friend of the birthday boy.
