The Lady Bunny(I)
- Actress
- Writer
- Make-Up Department
With glitzy outfits, sky-high wigs, and false eyelashes long enough to
embarrass even Tammy Faye Bakker, multi-talented drag artiste Lady
Bunny would turn heads even if looking glamorous was his only talent.
But this isn't just another man in a dress. Lady Bunny is a successful
comedienne, emcee, singer, songwriter, actress, DJ, and, most famously,
the founder, organizer, and hostess of Wigstock, the outrageous
festival of drag and music that had been delighting over 40,000 New
Yorkers and tourists visiting New York for the event, every Labor Day
for over 20 years. The feature film, Wigstock, The Movie, which
chronicled the event from preparation to performance day, was produced
specifically about this popular event and Lady Bunny, and has just
recently been re-released on DVD.
Bunny tours constantly, bringing down the house from Cincinnati to Tel
Aviv with her bawdy, Dusty Springfield-meets-Don-Rickles mix of
potty-mouthed humor, Southern charm, zany "Laugh-In"-style skits, and
X-rated pop song parodies. Bunny has emceed events around the world
ranging from Van Cleef Arpels corporate parties to Gay Pride Parades
and has shared the stage with the likes of Pamela Anderson, Margaret
Cho, Dennis Rodman, Cyndi Lauper, k.d. Lang, and the B-52's, just to
name a few.
As a journalist, Bunny keeps a high profile with her weekly "Star Style
Report" for Star Magazine. Bunny also writes regularly for various
other publications such as Visionaire, Paper, Instinct, Genre, V,
Interview and Time Out New York. Frequent TV and Film appearances also
bring Bunny's name to the worldwide masses. As a talking head for TV
networks like E! and VH1 and with appearances on Comedy Central's "Pam
Anderson Roast," HBO's "Sex and the City"; Britney Spears' MTV special
"In the Zone & Up All Night," as well as feature films such as Not
Another Gay Movie 2, Dragtime, Party Girl, and To Wong Foo, Thanks for
Everything! Julie Newmar, Lady Bunny is no stranger to the various
demographic pools. Bunny's even been consistently mentioned on the
international hit show "Will & Grace," cementing her status as an icon.
Lady Bunny has entertained the masses at fashion industry parties and
society events, has collaborated as a singer and songwriter, is a
frequent cultural commentator and has performed all over the world
including: Summer Rites in London, White Party in Palm Springs,
Europe's most famous gay club, Heaven in London (which was one of their
biggest selling nights ever), The Queen in Paris, as well as events in
Morocco, Montreal, Melbourne, Japan, Berlin, Rome, Las Vegas and
Amsterdam. Talented, glamorous, and funny as hell, Lady Bunny is a
glittering comet hurtling toward planet Show Biz. Brace yourself for
impact.
