This caught me totally by surprise when Tracks’ semi-regular email landed in my inbox:

I admit I had no idea who Amanda Lepore is so wikipedia had to fill me in, here’s the beginning of her entry:

Amanda Lepore (5 December 1967 — ) is an American model, fashion icon, nightlife hostess and performer. She is a transsexual icon who has received attention for entertainment and business skills. She has been the advertising face for Heatherette, M.A.C. (cosmetics), Mego Jeans, Swatch, CAMP Cosmetics and more. Fashion design company Heatherette has used Lepore’s image on much of their clothing and has chosen her several times to model their brand during Fashion Week. Lepore is also noted as a regular subject in much of David LaChapelle’s work. She participated in his Artists and Prostitutes 1985-2005 exhibit in New York where she “lived” in a voyeuristic life-sized set.

She sounds like quite the multi-talented individual, that should no doubt make for a unique Friday evening.
