    As an older person, I absolutely love how you spoke the truth about the party scene and how it's been glamorized throughout the years.
    But also as an older person, I really love seeing how younger people respect and even idolize people doing their own thing. It was never like this before! 😁

    I saw the doc and movie the first time 2007 when I was going trough a time when I was part of a group of young adults in Berlin Germany who, just like the Club Kids, went on partys in fabulous costumes, drag and makeup and lot’s of drugs. And I remember, I felt understood in a way and I found it comforting to c that every generation has its “Club Kids”. I’m also happy that those days are in the past & even tho I’m still a Drag Queen, I stopped this “lifestyle” in 2008 and I’m happy that it didn’t need a murder to get me out of it. But it was an amazing time and I don’t regret one bit. Thx u James St James for giving us “Club Kids” from all different generations this, so we feel understood and not alone! xoxo

    James and I used to hang out at Miss Kitty's Parlor (No relation) when Party Monster came out. I was like, "Girl! Seth Green? Really?" You can see my kitchen in the E! True Hollywood Story of Michael. My roommate weaseled his way into being interviewed, even though he barely knew Michael. Youth was fun! I miss you James. ❤

    I haven't read the book. I've watched the documentary. I think I'm around the same age as James Saint James and I'm just now discovering this gem. When I was in my teens I remember my Grandma watching a talk show with the Club Kids as guests. That was my first and last exposure to this story until recently. I was a straight girl from Seattle. Club kids weren't on my radar. It is a sad cautionary tale. Very witty ,entertaining, and sometimes so raw I had to close my eyes. I liked that they didn't try to glorify Michael and tried to be respectful to Angel's memory. However I'm not Angel's family member. They might not see it the same way I do. Angel was a victim and Micheal preyed upon him. That came through for me. All the actors in this movie gave great performances. They all seemed tailored made for this movie. I loved the nods to Rocky Horror, my favorite musical. Well done!!!!

    I think Seth Green was definitely the star of that movie! I thought he played JsJ beautifully!! Wasn’t for him I wouldn’t cared so much for that movie tbh! Chloe did great too so did Marylin Manson.. I love JSJ anyways. Always liked him better than Micheal. James is much nicer Micheal was to narcissistic!
