WARDROBE: What's another word for "amazing"?

















We first noticed Andre J, one of many eye-popping New York personalities you see on a semi-regular basis at certain parties, about a year ago because he seemed to like hot pants about as much as we do. He reminded us of some of the leggy children profiled in Paris Is Burning only he never seems to roll with a crew or “house.” And come to find out, he’s not trying to give up any “realness” either. Guy Trebay tells his whole backstory in a profile that ran in the Sunday Times, in which he reveals that he’s more performance artist than cross dresser. We also learn that his government name is Academy Spires, he’s 28, from Newark and was channeling Cher and the late model Donyale Luna when he bumped into the stylist who set him up with Bruce Weber who shot him for the cover of French Vogue. We also learned that “amazing” is the new word in gay land, replacing “fabulous” and “major,” which bums us out because we’ve been saying “amazing” for a good five years now.
