There is a saying in the city: What happens at a Trough party, stays at a Trough party. This is said for many reasons. Among them, the fact that straight men tend to abandon their proscribed sexual identities at the door. Scene tourism, conga lines, ‘when in Rome', all that. (There are, obviously, other reasons, but we won't go into those here.) The point is, Trough is returning next week for one encore, disguised as a party called ‘Womb'.
More than a party, this is a kind of live art project. Merce and Andy Warhol maybe would have said it's ‘a happening'. The artwork alone will be enough to send some people to the paramedics with a sparkler in their hand. They've recreated the iconic Trough party photos, outfits included, replacing the men with women. It's the final iteration of a world-class party that blended sexual identities way beyond the usual fag-hag boundaries. And one of the organisers is making a giant rubber vagina through which all guests shall enter. Yes, panic, you'll need an outfit. Start getting ready now and we'll come pick you up. You know we don't have any problems driving high.
