  • Lypsinka is an amazing artist an performer, I discovered her in the early 90s when I spent 3 months in NYC and spend a lot of time going to places like BOYBAR, JACKIE 60, CROWBAR, etc....
    I admire her acting-skills and her originality. This is a classic preformance, I don't know if John has ever seen a video of this, if not, I hope he enjoys it, hope everybody else enjoys it too!

    The artistry! The choice of material (& what it says); the mercurial moods; the sheer technique; the commentary. No one like Lypsinka.

    Someone needs to go through and list everything she sampled in this performance!
    I obviously know the Mommie Dearest parts and the small bit from Chinatown, and I know the song is But Alive from Applause. But I have been trying to figure out everything else with my googling yielding little to no results! I feel like such an uncultured gay for recognizing almost none of it!
    If anyone can give me origins for ANY of the other sound clips, that would be awesome!

    Men like John Epperson and Charles Busch lifted drag from merely Saturday night camp at the local gay bar into intelligent comedic performance art. I think of the pretty, effeminate boys I've seen in hooker shoes and MAC make-up, lyp syncing poorly to whatever pop vixen of that moment and I yearn for a Lypsinka. People will mention Lady Bunny, but I'm not a huge fan of conventional stand-up comedy. For me, Lypsinka, Varla Jean Merman, Charles Busch and the like, are consumate performers.
