Summary:

"From the opulence of the late 1980s to the present day, Bartsch possesses an innate ability to capture the spirit of the moment. Her legendary parties and dir=verse events continue to serve as the stage for an extraordinary convergence of people from around the world. From visionary artists to sex workers, fashion designers, cabaret stars, queer performers, Harlem ball dancers, go-go girls and boys, drag queens, burlesque amateurs, badybuilders, twinks, and lipstick lesbian - to name just a few - all are welcome Bartschland. In this book, alongside a long list of friends - from RuPaul to Aquaria to Amanda Lepore to Joey Arias - Bartsch illuminates the countless moments that have shaped her indelible legacy as New York City's 'patron saint of transformation and inclusion'."-- Provided by publisher.
