Joey Arias and Sherry Vine at the HOWL! Festival

Posted on07 September 2009. Tags: drag queens, East Village, Howl Festival, Jackie Factory, Joey Arias, Low Life 3, New York City, Photography, Sherry Vine, Tompkins Square Park

Joey Arias is a downtown New York City legend. From Wikipedia:

Film credits include Big Top Pee-wee, Mondo New York, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, Flawless, and To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar and Wigstock: The Movie.

His most recent work was performing in Arias with a Twist, a collaboration with puppeteer Basil Twist, at HERE Arts Center in New York and before that as the Mistress of Seduction in the Las Vegas show Zumanity, an “adult-themed” Cirque du Soleil show running at the New York-New York Hotel & Casino.

Yesterday Arias took to the stage at Tompkins Square Park with Sherry Vine, who I last photographed at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival (seen here on Wikipedia with Lady Bunny).

Below is my photographic essay of Joey Arias (black hair) and Sherry Vine (blond) at the 2009 HOWL! Festival:
