Jonesing for Attention: Grace Jones Tribute at the Cock

It’s truly special when grungy East Village gay dive The Cock gets so full on a week day that the party spills onto the sidewalk. Tuesdays are normally emptier than Hillary’s snatch, but this week’s strangely warm evening featured a drag tribute to Grace Jones, hosted by Nashom and Gant Johnson, which brought the place to full capacity.

The crowd consisted of older, release-seeking gentlemen confused by the sudden influx of young meat, a rowdy and cheerful spread of various clubland types and a half dozen Grace-look-alikes. And go go boys, the most popular being Israeli hottness Shai, who, along with showing us his religion, used more than words to express to Out Magazine columnist Jesse Archer just how he was feeling that evening...

Lip-synching talent of the evening included an avant-garde face performance of

Corporate Cannibal by Ericka Toure Aviance (assisted by couture freak One-Half Nelson), while Kevin Aviance wowed the audience with a massive headpiece and cunty expressions. However the real show-stealer of this near-legendary evening was Mona Foot, who came out of a seven-year retirement to give the crowd more crazy-face and sharp lip-movements than all 128 minutes of Mommy Dearest. Check out the video after the jump.
