"BRICKTOPS! - ROARING 20s NIGHTCLUB!

a utopian oasis for the literary clubgoer

The Parlour Club, Bricktops old Los Angeles venue, has closed. Watch here for the reappearance of Bricktops at other venues, worldwide.

Beautiful Bricktops art noveau posters are on sale at Bricktops. The posters were lovingly designed by Cory Marie Podielski of the Moveable Feast, there are limited quantities of these highly prized collectors item, so be the first on your blocka to purchase. There are three so far in a special series of posters featuring Bricktop luminaries, all numbered and signed by the artist. Click on images below for larger views.

August 5, 2005 - Final Bricktops at the Parlour Club: Mink Stole, Abbie Travis, Kristian Hoffman, Reny Monk as Josephine Baker accompanied by Tom, Cabinet of Curiosities, Pretty Things, My Barbarian, Selene Luna, Michele Carr of the Velvet Hammer, La Poubelle Twins, Anna Bells, The Fishnet Floozy, Rebekah Del Rio, Jose Promis, Jean Spinosa, Augusta! Hobo Jazz, Penny Starr Junior and almost everyone who has ever played Bricktops doing one short piece.

Dress Fancy, No cellphones, No Hummers, No Range Rovers, and absolutely no plastic surgeries.

Andrew Gould, and tranny temptress, Vaginal Davis present Bricktops! at the Parlour Club, 7702 Santa Monica Blvd in the Russian Quarter of West Hollywood. Bricktops faithfully re-creates the splendour of Jazz Age Cafe Society Paris, Weimar Berlin, and Greenwich Village bohemian intelligentcia. For literate clubgoers sick of the corporate careerist vulturism and youth culture myopia that plagues the tired and stagnant LA club scene, Bricktops provides the only satisfying true alternative. The style and allure of the 1920s has created a "flaming" youth movement and sub-culture, that excercise in camp and kitch, but something more demanding that explores our not so distant past in an environment ripe to promote the creation of new political, artistic and cultural movements. Appropriate lost generation attire requested.

Deutschland, Switzerland, and England

As part of her European tour, Dr. Davis stepped off the continent for a packed-to-the-rafters feature performance at London's primo performance art nightspot Duckie on Saturday May 26th at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern in London.

Ms. Davis also appeared to thunderous approval in Zurich, Switzerland at Seminar fur Filmwissenschaft at the Universitat Zurich and at Shedhalle Zurich.

Vaginal Davis on the Wheels of Steel

Proving that Boy George is not the only tired drag queen re-styling herself as a DJ, Vaginal Davis DJed at the LA debut party for art-world darlings Fischerspooner (as seen on the cover of über-hip Index Magazine.) in March 2001.

If you liked Ms. D.'s Sucker DJ-ing as spinderella behind the wheels of steel you'll love what she does at the West Coast Passerby in conjunction with Manhattan gallery Gavin Brown's Enterprise.

Vag Gets Bestial With Le Tigre

Vag's performance with Le Tigre show was a blast. Missing in-action was underground film legend Sadie Benning who apparently doesn't like to tour. 400 people had to be turned away and it was so hot and stinky at the Smell that Vaginal Davis passed out and was given mouth-to-mouth resesitation by Kathleen Hanna and boyfriend Ad Rock of the Beastie Boys and then Vaginal sucked the rapper's toes ate out his bung hole right on stage to the shrieks of the adoring fans.

Patrons of the Arts, Atendez-vous!

The economy is booming so all you dot.com millionaires and industry queens need to send Vaginal Davis some money. $$$ yes $moula. The hard green. Right now! Don't be selfish. Help support the arts. Make it personal by supporting this particular black diva! How many more BMW's or sexual assault vehicles can you buy? You can only drive one at a time. Ms. Davis' form of transportation is a broken down beat up bicycle, thats too small for her 6'6" frame. Donate her a new bike. Take her to dinner. Subsidize her performance pieces and musical ventures. I'm serious. Don't take her for granted. So get with it or when the revolution comes she'll remember you slighted her, and it will be your head on the guillotine.
