Outage blacks out nightlife
Ladies shed their clothes & inhibitions at Brainy Sluts, a blackout puts the kibosh on parties, but still: bingo & Madonna fans

By Rachel Kramer Bussel
Friday, August 22, 2003

THE LAUNCH OF BRAINY SLUTS AT Meow Mix started off slowly in the slutty-behavior department, but things quickly got a lot more sluttified. Revelers removed clothing until some were standing on the stage of Meow Mix totally nude, encouraged by the DJ to practice the tips we’d just been shown by the Toys in Babeland lovelies and get busy.

Too shy to do so, they started to cover up but other eager sluts were ready to take their place and keep their clothes off. A kissing contest turned into a kissing free-for-all, which established the night’s mood. A hot Maggie Gyllenhaal lookalike was offering cheap massages, and though they took place in a not-so-comfy chair and came with the disclaimer that she’s not a professional, her hands felt heavenly.

The blackout put the kibosh on several events I was looking forward to, like the GO NYC party at Eugene in Chelsea. Check www.gonycmagazine.com on August 22 for the new party date.

Another party my girlfriend was especially disappointed to miss was Soleil Moon Frye’s birthday celebration at Pyramid, where there was to be a Punky Brewster marathon downstairs and surely plenty of high-top, brightly colored Converse sneakers and other Punky-wear abounding. There’s always next year!

Speaking of cancelled events, this week’s planned Heat readings have been cancelled because organizer Christen Clifford just gave birth to a healthy baby boy. We had a drink (an Odoul’s for her) right before the big day, and Clifford looked sexy enough to get hit on by a gay guy at Metropolitan as her stomach poured out of her tiny “Mama’s Got Soul” T-shirt.

Last month I caught Clifford’s excellent show “17 Guys I Fucked” at the Culture Project at 45 Bleecker St., which provided much honestly and humor, as well as several fucks who were definitely not guys. More than that, Clifford mined the depths of her sexual past to come up with a story that told about much more than just sex, but about life, learning, identity and exploration, complete with tears, drama, orgasms, orgies and even a Hitachi Magic Wand. Stay tuned to what she’ll be up to post-baby, especially for future readings of “17 Guys,” an emotionally moving, sexual coming of age story.

Saturday proved yet another foray into new bingo territory at Halcyon, where there’s a very California pace. The bingo, scheduled to start at 9 p.m., didn’t start until well past 10 p.m. because the owners were “looking for their cat.” I’m serious!

Eventually, said fluffy cat returned and the hot girl we were all checking out turned out to be the night’s go-go dancer/bingo caller — she holds up the numbers while dancing and astute players must pay careful attention in order to win drinks, house music or T-shirts. At least the couches were comfortable and there was ice to rub all over our girls’ bodies (and free edamame) to keep us occupied as we waited for the bingo to get started.

The bingo mania must have been too much for me because Monday I came down with a cold and could not make the Madonnathon tribute at BB King’s Blues Club. Twenty artists came together to celebrate Maddy’s 20 years in the spotlight. Backed by the Material Boys band, performers including Corn Mo, Cathy Cervenka, the Dazzle Dancers, Les Sans Culottes, Double Dong, Felicia Collins and others honored her. There was even a Best Madonnaesque Outfit Contest. It all brings me back to my first time seeing her on the Like A Virgin tour, when all the girls were dressed in their slutty Madonna best.
