Wet + Wild @ Dr!p

DRIPPING OUT // You can always count on the weekly pool party Dr!p, hosted by party impresario Lee Chappell and S(he)quida, to be a depraved (i.e. wonderful) skin parade of bulgy Speedos.

But two weeks ago the humid, chlorinated air was especially charged, thanks to a poolside performance by up-and-coming drag sensation Erickatoure Aviance. Her crowd-pleasing vinyl pussy-suit and endless leg-splits only added to ferocity of other visual candy: genderfuck host Celso and the delectable yet fear-inducing Matthew Camp (fantastically made up as a sexy leather demon, he can drag me into Hades anytime).

Full to the brim, the pool was twice as crowded with shiny, chiseled torsos (among the underfed twinks was blooming New York writer David Hawkins) to see Ms. Aviance perform her soon-to-be-released original single “My Pumps.”  Scene-y attendees included gay pimp Jonny McGovern, crazy look-pumping Xander Aviance and the soulful Adam Joseph.

Finishing up with an especially electric rendition of Björk’s “I Miss You,” Ms. Aviance promptly leapt into the pool at the end, resulting in explosive short-circuit of intense writhing and screams from the shimmering crowd.
