New York nightlife sensation and David LaChapelle muse Amanda Lepore tipples some whimsical (and surprisingly healthy) concoctions from Chinatown’s exotic Apothéke den, adding new favorites to her already worldly palate.

He launched the first drag superstar onto the Top 40 charts, with RuPaul’s 1992 hit “Supermodel.” He deejayed outrageous nights at the Pyramid, the Roxy, and Michael Alig’s “Disco 2000” free-for-alls in the early ’90s. And he led the charge with the ascent of the Electroclash scene in Williamsburg in the early part of this decade, working with acts like Chicks on Speed, FischerSpooner and Peaches. And now, with the release of his new party album, Club Badd, with a fresh crop of talents he found on the Internet, and a guest-appearance from a trusted “Disco 2000” cohort, Amanda Lepore, Larry Tee finds himself surrounded by yet another groundswell of new music in Brooklyn, from Santigold and MIA in Bushwick to indie darlings like Chairlift and Telepathe in Williamsburg. Speaking of the latter, Tee was bemused to find out he stills has a pervasive impact on the local scene: “Telepathe hate me, by the way,” he said when BlackBook caught up with him and nightlife icon Amanda Lepore to discuss Club Badd. “They think I brainwashed the W.I.T. girls.”

The clubs of Los Angeles are going to be hit with the sounds of quite a collaboration, that of L.A. gossip maven Perez Hilton and New York club king Larry Tee. The two have joined forces to put out a single that is sure to get tongues wagging -- especially tongues belonging to right-wing anti-gay types. Video after the jump.

In the booming, bustling world of urban nightlife, things are neither silent nor still, nor necessarily what they seem. Here, when most people have begun cashing in on their eight hours of rest, we hit the streets with our most beloved, insatiable crew of revelers—from deejays and drag queens to one very poised 92-year-old single gal—to experience the debauchery and decadence of the world after dark.

Amanda Lepore, born Armand Lepore, year unknown, has been a New York nightlife fixture for quite some time. She has worked with flamboyant designers like Heatherette and has long served as legendary photographer David LaChapelle's muse. Here, in an exclusive fashion story, she takes her throne for photographer Helena Cristina Henriques.
