Bash Compactor: A Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On

Enchantment Under the Sea party, a senior prom, at Morningside Castle

By Gerry Visco | August 24,2011
When it comes to retro, the '50s has always been one of the coolest eras. Yes, the '20s, '30s and '40s can be oh-so-glamorous, but things started to really shake, rattle and roll when Chuck Berry, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Marlon Brandon and Marilyn Monroe stormed onto the scene.

Bash Compactor: I’m All Wet!

New weekly Thursday night party, My Chiffon is Wet, at Eastern Bloc dive bar

By Gerry Visco | August 10,2011
Unlike some of my friends last week, I wasn't in the Hamptons, Rome, Berlin or even Detroit. No, I was getting my jollies right on East 6th Street at funky little dive bar Eastern Bloc at a new weekly Thursday night party called My Chiffon is Wet. Well, I forgot to wear my chiffon sheath, but my nylon panties sure were damp. How could they not be? It was hot as blazes outside and I was dancing up a storm to DJ Paisley Dalton's fun blend of vintage and new disco with some '80s and '90s tracks, seasoned with a couple of show tunes from Cabaret and The Wiz. more

Bash Compactor: Cutting It Up

By Gerry Visco | August 2,2011
The word “vivisection” means experimental surgery conducted on live animals and other organisms, and human vivisection has been perpetrated as a form of torture. Ugh! Let’s face it, not too appetizing. However, none of that violence was in evidence last week when I attended the party called ViVisection. Even better, it was held at The Laugh Factory on the Lower East Side. No, there weren’t actually that many laughs, but there was plenty of fashion and sexy scenesters. more

Bash Compactor: 15-Minute Walk of Fame

Andy Warhol official book release party at the Yotel Hotel in Times Square

By Gerry Visco | July 20,2011
One of the primary reasons I moved to New York City decades ago was because of Andy Warhol. Just reading about him made me realize I had to live here, so I braved life during the 1970sdespite strenuous protests by my bourgeois family. more

Bash Compactor: Life’s a Beach

The Rock Beach party sponsored by JellyNYC

By Gerry Visco | July 13,2011
The Rock Beach party was being sponsored by JellyNYC and since, unlike most of New York, I'd never ventured over to the wildly popular shows put on by Jelly at McCarren Park Pool, here was my chance to experience one of their parties. more

By Gerry Visco | July 6,2011
Although it was the July 4th weekend, my brand of patriotism did not include wearing red, white and blue. The only fireworks I experienced were on Saturday, when I ventured out to Secret Project& more

Bash Compactor: Golden Girl

Bash Compactor: All Washed Up

Gerry Visco attends the Dirty Disco, a party where promoters transform a laundromat in Williamsburg into a nightclub.

By Gerry Visco | June 22,2011
How many of you have done laundry on a lonely Friday or Saturday night and felt like total losers? I see these people in the elevator all the time, pathetically wheeling their carts around when it's more

Flavor of the Week: Kiss My Ass!

Gerry Visco ventures into the heart of the friendliest fetish street fair that the city has ever seen.

By Gerry Visco | June 22,2011
What better way to celebrate and enjoy a beautiful, sunny Fathers Day than to trek over to the Folsom Street East festival? The 15th annual event was held this past Sunday in the urban valley of West 28th Street, between 10th and 11th avenues, under the watchful eye of the newly opened section of the High Line park. more

Bash Compactor: Up All Night

Brian Rafferty and Shawn Paul Mazur’s party, This Is New York Fucking City, at Good Units.

By Gerry Visco | June 15,2011
Beware disco naps. They refresh us sleep-deprived 24-hour party people, but can lead to a totally discombobulating awakening. That’s what the deal was on Saturday night. After a supposedly refre more
