It was the 25th annual Night of a Thousand Gowns where The Imperial Court of New York celebrated 25 years of fun and fundraising led by the current monarchs, Emperor XIX Jack and Empress XXIV Farrah Moans.
The Court has gained recognition in the New York City region for the work it has done on behalf of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. Besides the big hair, bigger jewels, the regal attire, the glitz and glamour is how they have fun, and while they are at it, they give time and energy to raising money for their beneficiaries.
I was invited by Sylvia Tosun, of Sea to Sun Recordings who was performing, and she was amazing. She looked beautiful and her voice enchanted everyone in the room. It was a pleasure to take some photographs for her…
I thought – tonight I am in Times Square , photographing at an amazing tribal festival and soon I will be on the other side of the world in rural China at another colorful tribal festival.
In my travels , I am always looking at what is different and what is the same…
Colorful celebrations happen all over the world !
