And the HOliday colleciton is immense, so somehow I thought I was Billie HOliday. But my favorite song is "Everything I have ius YOurs". 28RaMOANa says:rnHallo Joey! Welcome to the chaos! Don't you just love chaos? That's what inspires me. 28Tura says:rnWhat makeup do you wear and whose clothes do you prefer most? yes it inspired my opening page on my site, Joey! (and the fractal images in it) http://www.ang elfire.com/fl/ramoana/ I use lots of different companies make[up starting with Mac and Shishedo and I wear clotihng wise I am a big Thierry Mugler muse and fan and otherwise I'd rather run around naked at home. 28CazMaTaz says:rntell us more about your time with Andy Warhol... any good stories? Andy would pick me up at Fiorruci and we would have dinner at a Japanese restaurant. We would go to the movies. Andy would fall asleep and his wig would start to slip, popcorn spilling and light snoring. As soon as the movie was over andy would say wow, wasn't that great. And thenw e would go for a walk, and I would tell him if he held his crystal up to the moon magical powers would come to him. sounds like a typical evening at my house! 28Bianca says:rnHow have you been involved in the" Saturday Night Live"? I was actually good friends with Lorraine Newman and I was in an imporvisational group called "The Groundlings". She would invite me to come see the show. Eventually, Klaus Nomi and I were invited by David to perform with him. If I moon you, will u get magical powers? (_y_) 28LdyofDarkness says:rnif you and ru paul got into a cat fight, who would win? We would never fight. We would actually talk about shoes and hair and who's got the smaller waist. 28RaMOANa says:rnIf I moon you, will u get magical powers? (_y_) If you moon I'll swoon 2 magical powers. ROFL 28Tura says:rnDo you have a favorite Bowie era? * RaMOANa sprinkles 12 moandust, on 4`.:"'~`*+13,.`*`'"~:,,~'"-;.,9 Joey\bArias '``*-:^:,.+*^*-,,.:"10 Joey\bArias '~`*+,.3`*`'"~:,,6~'"-;.,'`13 Joey\bArias `*-_+^:,.+*^*-, Aladdain Sane and I also liked his NY Duke. Thin White Duke 28spaceface says:rnis this your first time in internet chat? Yes it is and I'm very excited. 28JillRenee says:rnWhat was Pee Wee Herman like? * RaMOANa notices another moon reference - up the thin white duke chute! Pee Weee is totally fun and cool, man. The most generous character I've ever met just like David, really fun but Paul Reubens is a different story. 28CazMaTaz says:rnwhat are you wearing for your chat debut? and be specific about the accessories! I'm wearing a bra, corset and panties, stocking with seams, eight inch heels kinda like Betty Page of the 21st century. I'm getting magical powers in my pants... 28Bonster1 says:rnHow do you feel when watching an exciting performance as opposed to "performin g?" When I watch a great performance I'm really inspired then I get great ideas and I want to incorporate them somehow in my performance. End of #ChatGuest buffer Thu Mar 18 18:11:12 1999 28Rednik says:rnSo Joey you like a nice piece of meat inbetween your buns? ;) Well I hope it's been boiled. The buns are made of sesame and I hope it's a vegatarian dog. 28Tura says:rnAre you still performing Billie Holliday ? At this time of my performance life somehow I am Lady Day and Mugler has dubbed me as Lady Night. 28spaceface says:rnwhat other great singers influenced you?, Judy garland?, Liza Minelli? I think a lot of great singers were and still are, but there's no one like Lady Day for me. 28JillRenee says:rnAre there any movies coming up that you appear in? Yes as a matter of fact I'll be in Joel Shulmacher new movie this fall entitled Flawless" this fall starring Robert DiNiro and I play a leader of a mean gang of queens out of drag. Do you feel crotchless panties are just a frame for the picture or supply a more useful purpose when going to the loo? 28Bianca says:rnTell us a bit about your future plans, please. When can we you next time performing live? * RaMOANa ducks I perform three days a week at Bard'O, 29 Bedford and Downing, saturday, Sunday and Tuesdays. Then I'll be in Berlin for the month of April and touring through Germany in May. 28Rednik says:rnJoey: What was Klaus Nomi like to work with? Klaus Nomi was a perfectionist, very fun specific, difficult, it was just like red, white and black. 28CazMaTaz says:rnwho was the better queen, snipes or swayze? SWAYZE! I think they were all great. They did a great job. Swaayze and I got very close on the set. Close enough that he had his wife rush to the set to contain himself. Snipes, asked to call him by his drag name all the time on the set and treat him like one of the girls. 28Bonster1 says:rnI vote for Priscilla of the Desert myself Hey Bonster are you a queen, too? If your Queenie Name is your pet's first name and your mother's maiden name, what is yours? 28Bonster1 says:rnin some respects ;) 28spaceface says:rnoh,what was de niro like? you lucky person! DiNiro was fantastic, very professional, kind of shocked how shy he was. And very respectful to my royal gayness. 28JillRenee says:rnIs there anybody that you want to work with, but haven't had the chance yet? Yes, the Pope. 28spaceface says:rnEddie Izzard said that he was 'a lesbian trapped in a mans body'. , which made me understand exactly how he feels about himself. Do you have a definition of youself ? oh i asked that wrong...if you use your pet's name as your First Name and your mother's maiden name as your surname, what would be your Queenie Name? (mine is Sheba Rolfs, oooh) Hey, Spaceface. Imagine being in a drak room with lots of toys and strange objects and you are holding the flashlight and turning around and looking a t all those things in the dark. They seem different, don't they, as opposed to the lights on. That's what I'm all about. 28spaceface says:rntell us some inside naughties about david in the old days I never saw anyone drink so much milk and smoke so many cigarettes in five minutes and sing like a bird afterwards. 28Coldfyr says:rnDo you have an opinion about the late Divine? She was a dear friend, an inspiration, larger than life and one hell of a shit eater. 28spaceface says:rnno, i mean REAL naughties Spaceface, I think we should talk about your real naughties? Tell me more about yourself. We're going to catch you, Spaceface. What galaxy do you live in? 28Tura says:rnAre there any drag performers you think are above par? Yeah, me! 28CazMaTaz says:rndo you have a pre-show ritual? (can't believe, singing after milk!!) Do you have any pre-show rituals yourself, Caz? I think we all have rituals. I think life is a ritual in itself. 28Tyswank says:rnare there any drag perforners without a huge ego? Sorry, but if you're a drag performer, you'd better have a huge ego. Just like their wigs and just like their shoes, it's a lot of shit to carry. 28Bonster1 says:rnJoey, do you like to ask questions in response to questions? ;) Why do you ask? 28CazMaTaz says:rnare you a Freudian, Joey? Turning our questions on ourselves But don't people usually do that if they're curious? 28rexee says:rnJoey, I once heard a version of Gene Pitney's 'Town Without Pity' done in the style of Billy Holiday...was it you? If not, do you perform material other than Billy's -in her style? Yes, I have. I've done the Beetles, "Hard Day's Night, Madonna's Holiday, and David Bowie's "Changes". 28Rednik says:rnJoey: What would you use for a nickname if you came in here regularly? Lady Night. i think MoonShadow is more apropo 28Tura says:rnthere are a few great drag movies, Vegas in Space, Priscilla, To Wong Foo, etc... what do you think the key element to making movies about or with drag queens? GOOD HEELS! of course Well, drag queens were the last taboo but it seems as though it's becoming mainstream now. A matter of fact, I might be doing something with Madonna. I don't want to say too much about this yet. It's more about real life than just fantasy. 28Bonster1 says:rnWho has a bigger ego, you are David ;) ??? I do. I wear higher heels, these days. lol 28JillRenee says:rnWho do you think was the first drag queen? Jesus Christ. 28LdyofDarkness says:rnwhat did you think of diana ross's billie holliday in "lady sings the blues"? I think Diana Ross did a great job but it had nothing to do with the real Billie Holiday's life. If you want the real thing, come and hear me sing. 28Tura says:rnWhat do you think about the whole fiasco with Michael Alig and his cohorts? Tura, Michael Alig was a troubled boy. When you party 24/7 somehow you start to lose bits of your mind like an aspirin in water, verything becomes diluted, nothing becomes real, fantasy become reality. Now his reality is caged man, and I never supported his madcap antics. He was really nasty. 28Picadilly says:rnIs David Bowie a spring, fall, winter or summer (makeup wise) I would say David is a summer make-up man. Always full of sunshine, always clear blue and brown-eyes, and rosy cheeked, ala natural. 28Bianca says:rnWhat do you think of the Glam Rock revival in these days and have you seen "Velvet Goldmine"? *** Braun (milank@DPA) has joined #ChatGuest *** Braun sets mode: +o Braun Unfortunately I never saw Velvet Goldmine. But I think GlamRock does deserve a revival for the next generation that are coming into their own. This is what we call rock and roll history. And David is our Glamrock God and more. hallo braun! 28LdyofDarkness says:rnAndy Warhol: spacey, genius, or spacey-genius? *** Braun (milank@DPA) has left #ChatGuest Andy Warhol was always in control playing the game of spacy genius. Letting things happen and finding his way like a baby through a bunch of toys and turning it into something was the magic of Andy Warhol. And we were all his toys. 28Picadilly says:rnNo joke joey, I had a nightmare about you the other day, you were chasing me, telling me I was doing my makeup allll wrong, and you were trying to make my brother up....I was mad! Picadilly, like circus, or flower? Were are you at? Why were you dreaming about me? I think we would have fun. It owuld not be a nightmare. There is no such thing as a bad nightmare. I think you were mad because your brother was being made up. 28JillRenee says:rnHow was it like working with Madonna? Madonna I've known for quite a while, from the beginning. and I think she's very smart and very talented and understand the marketing process. She's one hell of a fun chick to hang out with. You would really get a kick out of her because she's curious just like you. 28Tura says:rnIf you weren't a drag performer, what would you have done instead? I'd probably be selling hotdogs at /Riker's Island. lol 28Rednik says:rnJoey tell us a joke! i think he just did LOL There was a little girl hwo saw her mother and father engaging in sex. She was shocked, of course. She didn't know what was going on. Her mother came into the kitchen for a glass of water and the little girl asked her mother, Mommy, why is Daddy putting his pee-pee into your pee-pee? And the mommy said, Well honey, that's how we make babies. A And the little girl asked again, but Mommy, why is Daddy putting his pee-pee in your mouth? And her mother said, that's how mommy gets jewelry. 28spaceface says:rnyou HAVE chatted before, you know 'lol' No I haven't, but I really enjoy this. Thank you, David for giving me this opportuni ty. 28Bonster1 says:rnJoey, are you doing your own typing?? No, I'm not, Sony MaDa is doing it for me. 28JillRenee says:rnDo you have any pets? I use to have a goldfish and I used to have a black cat. The goldfish jumped out of the bowl and the black cat jumped out of the window, so now I only have stuffed animals at home. 28Bonster1 says:rnwho the hell is Sony mada? She's my highest guru from the world of Homeopathia. 28Tura says:rnAny beauty tips ? Yeah. Lots of hot water and a lot of Vaseline. 28Picadilly says:r20nHow do you feel about vinyl pants? practical or impractical? It all depends as to what's raging between your legs. 28Tyswank-dinner says:rnWhat should i have for dinner? I suggest a can of Sylvia's Black-Eyed Peas, half a fresh cabbage, one piece of fresh garlic, and ajalapeno pepper, let the magic begin. Let your stomach start the shows. In the morning you'll find the result. 28Bianca says:rnHave you met the Velvet Underground during your time with Andy Warhol? What is Lou Reed like? I'm not that old. I was still a little girl when they were around. lol I met Lou Reed just recently. He's very nice and a little older. John Cale, very nice. And I met Nico, very high and very large. But, this was much later after Velvet Underground. 28Picadilly says:r20nCan I take you to school for show and tell? Picadilly, what do you want me to show, and what am I going to tell? Please tell me about yourself. 28JillRenee says:rnHow do you feel having all these people asking you questions? Isn't that why we're on this site? We're curious about each other. I'm as curious about you as you are about me. I love it. I love people, I love talking. I'm also known as a social butterfly around many circles. 28Picadilly says:rnI am a 16 year old freak. aka: ventriloquist /stand up comic/ mick jagger lover/ musician/ artist/ female/ 28rexee says:rnJoey, any plans to tour the Billie Holiday act? It's been a while since we've seen you in SF. any plans to perform in Florida? I would love to see your show! Yes, I'm working on something right now. Maybe in the Fall. Thierry Mugler and myself are putting together a show to end the 20th century and I think the working title is, "Sci-FiJazz" It will be all acoustic, meaning baby grand piano, strings, and theromin. 28LdyofDarkness says:rnjust how much has your ego enflated in the last 45 minutes? any plans to perform in Florida? I would love to see your show! It's not called inflation, it's called depravation . My ego is always inflated. How 'bout yours? 28Bonster1 says:rnSerious Question: what is the worst experience of prejudice you've encountered?? I guess being who I am, people seem to want to hurt me some times. Some times I feel as though I wasn't quite, or belonging to this 20th century as a mystic once told me that I am really of the 21st century. So whether I'm in drag or not, really doesn't matter. 28Bianca says:rnDo you know Romy Haag? I know all the Haags. Yes, I will see Romy in Berlin in April, and she is really sweet and delicious, like candy with nuts. 28JillRenee says:rnWhat are your thoughts on Marilyn Manson? Come on, sugar, I think he's fun. You gotta have something crazy and out there, and he sure is doing it. Who else is oging to wear those crazy clothes? 28Bonster1 says:rnWas there a time in your life you tried to "fit in" and finally said "what the fuck?" I thought maybe the Calvin Klein look would be for me, but imagine a creature from the 21st century wearing khaki pants and Bierkenstocks, I don't think so! 28spaceface says:rnWhat do you think of new music in the nineties?, any faves? Yes, I love Lauyn Hill, I like a lot of dance music, and I must admit I love David Bowie's Earthling. I though Earthling was genius, genius, genius. I danced to that every day. 28Bianca says:rnI´m from Germany by the way and I love to see one of your shows! Any date yet for Berlin? April 13th at the BarJeder vernunft (I think that's how you spell it). You can check the Bowie news section for Joey's upcoming schedule. 28Tura says:rnWhere do you think drag is going to go in the future? Drag has been around since the beginning of time and as they say it will end when time ends. 28sQ says:rnDo you have a website? No, should I have one? 28Tyswank says:rnokay, i'm back and i didnt have what you suggested for dinner (sorry... i've got to take the SAT's on saturday, and dont need to have constant diarrhea throughout the test).. any suggestions for dessert? Yeah, bananas and a cork. 28KelMarSupervixen says:rndid you want to kill the peeps who ruined La Cage Aux Folles with that dreadful Robin Williams remake? I didn't really think it was that bad. It was for an American audience. It made me laugh. But I still love the original French version. 28sQ says:rnDo you know a lot of "fag hags"? No, I just know lots of hags and haggers, and swankers and taggers. Are you one? 28Rednik says:rnJoey: Pants, knickers or commando? Oh, I wear panties with a little bow on the left leg, pink prefarably, pale. 28Bianca says:rnWhat do you think of the New Romantic Scene in the 80s with all the musicians who suddenly put make-up on their face? What do you think of Boy George? I think Boy George is so much fun. With his ups and down, large and small, he definetly put himself on the map of musical madness. By putting on make-up we were trying to hide, puberty, pimples and blackheads. 28spaceface says:rnjoey, i bet howards eyes are popping out of his head at your clothes. He didnt know who db was when he first came to work for bowienet If you think his eyes are popping out,, you should see what else is popping out. He's seems to be amused as I am and Sony MaDa is wearing golden pasties, and a sarong. I think she's a commando kind of bitch. it's a real party over here folks! 28straffer says:rnJoey what do you think of internet? Do you like to chat? Yes, I do. I would love to see pictures, also. Does that work somehow? Let's keep in touch, somehow. I love the internet. Chatting is my game. So let's play, baby. Don't you think Bowie's got it right? We've been going about an hour now. How 'bout five more questions. 28Bianca says:rnHave you become an internet-addict now ;)? You wouldn't believe it, but I don't even own a computer or laptop. I'm waiting for the 21st century. But why bother when you've got SonyMaDa and Howard and David Bowie. 28KelMarSupervixen says:rnwho was your idol as a child? KelMarSpuervixen, come'on, give me a break. You mean you don't know? Billie Holiday and David Bowie. 28Picadilly says:r20nJoey can I kidnap you? I need a makeover! It all depends on all you'll do it. We have to make it agame. You know where to find me. We need secret codes. You'll make and I'll do the over. 28LdyofDarkness says:rnso will you come and visit us again soon? I promise I'll come and visit you again after my tour in Germany. Maybe David will have me back on again with Howard and SonyMaDa. You've all been a lot of fun. And I could keep going on forever but I've got to rehearse for my new show. 28LdyofDarkness says:rnso will you come and visit us again soon? 28LdyofDarkness says:rnso will you come and visit us again soon? 28Tura says:rnWho's More fashionable: Bowie or Iman? Well, I think Bowie looks great in a dress and I think Iman wears pants handsomely. So I have to say they are pretty much a fantastic acouple. Can you imagine wearing each other's clothing? * RaMOANa hands Joey\bArias a 4@3}>-'-, -'----- Thank you everybody. In this short time getting to speak to you all. I wish you all love, happiness and great health. You all have a great sense of humor, and remember you, too could be a commando bitch. All of my love and blubbler kisses, love and pastrami from your mommy of jazz, Lady Night, Joey Arias. Thanks everyone, Joey has left the building....goodnight
