Sorry I haven't posted a new entry in a while. I feel like my psychic energy has been sucked up by too many sources (that probably makes no sense, I realize). Anyway, here are some more photos I've scanned of some of our favourite and fabled '70's New York City glam casualties practicing their "wretched excess in dandiful duds" at Max's Kansas City...
Back room characters:
The Stooges rocking the house:
David Johansen of the Dolls and Wayne/Jayne County:
The two Davids (Johansen and Bowie), Max's regulars in 1972-73. They were both involved with Cyrinda Foxe around this time (although poor David Jo wound up marrying her):
A rather angelic-looking Johnny Thunders:
David pulling pranks on Dee Dee:
Candy Darling, the most glamorous of the drag queens:
Unidentified:
Johnny Thunders (third from left) with some of the usual suspects:
Cherry Vanilla, Leee Black Childers and Jackie Curtis:
Amanda Lear:
Nico and Eric Emerson:
L-R: Nico, Arthur Killer Kane with Ari Boulon on his shoulders, Shep Gordon and Alice Cooper):
Eric:
Some of the girls (Patti Smith is far left):
William Borroughs with Patti:
Patti's bff, the beautiful photographer, Robert Mapplethorpe:
Tony Pink and Gerard Malanga:
Alice:
Lou, so young and sweet:
Ms. B, glam as usual:
Yoko:
Dee Dee and Vera Ramone (left) and Lenny Kaye (right):
Andy and Nico:
Lou and friends:
Tinkerbell:
Mary Woronov:
Liz Derringer and Geraldine Smith:
Johnny Winter:
Tom Waits:
Debbie Harry:
Good friends Angie Bowie and Cyrinda Foxe. At the time, Cyrinda was fucking David far more than his wife was:
Cyrinda when the Stooges played their homecoming show at Max's:
Cyrinda and David, Max's Power Couple:
Steven Tyler:
Sable Starr:
Sable and others at the Max's Christmas Party, 1975. At the time she was dating the gorgeous Richard Hell, who was rocking his usual sunglasse (it's amazing how many people were wearing sunglasses, actually. This was right after Richard was in the Heartbreakers with Johnny Thunders, Sable's ex):
