"Amanda Lepore's Big Top" at Carnival (NSFW)

Half the fun of going to "Amanda Lepore's Big Top," the newly christened party at Carnival, a relatively new venue above Bowlmor bowling lanes on University Place in the Village, is figuring out what to wear. As you'll see, the queen of the city's gay nightlife scene throws parties with all skin and sparkle. Nate "Igor" Smith took all these photos; our dispatch from the scene here.
