10. Vanity Society

There is an unprecedented beauty that comes with our beginning subject. We've known the man to be a fine alternative to the Dandy, but also there is a radiating sweetness you'll uncover when you get closer. It is a shame more people do not know him. Vanity Society should be plastered just about everywhere for the good of us all. Having been at it for years, siting many accomplishments unbeknownst to your social media, and created majorly before most of those things were invented, you'd be wise to get it together and appreciate our royal father. The few radiant encounters I've seen, or been on the fringes of, would have you aghast at such truly amazing a soul. From the looks, the cadence, to the heart that displays the best possible matter to inhabit these looks. Indeed, you should keep calm - but panic and freak out should you be so lucky he waltz'd your room.

9. Mary Jo CamelToe

Moving down the line is the last hold out of the now defunct BacKspace brooklyn crew. This sassy ingenue has been serving life behind bars(a bartender), but has been slinging shows when being a queen was just tear in your eye. The token Adventures In Babysitting end credits chic, rivals that of any single person whose got it going on. Our unsung hero got to it first. Still at it, with a personality type you or I have never encountered before or after, there really is no reference point - you kind of just have to go with the flow. But the flow, while we're on the topic of, also delivers a kitschy talk show monthly; so crafty in its concept, that you sit back and you take in all the joy of having your period adorn the place of Iconography. Finally!. So smart and so worth it. She's Definitely worth deleting your Xanga and replacing with her. At last, a female empowerment figure for all the women who leave Christmas decorations out three months after the holidays are over.

8. Greg Mania

A personal favorite of us all. This one seems the hardest to write about, primarily because its about a writer. So much wit can only fit into a status at a time, yet here we have a champion of such a forum. Blessing us with short bursts of astute remarks that always point home, for many, these remarks are what we excuse ourselves to the bathroom to check our phones for. So relatable is this spill of human champagne each time, people have doubted for years if such a person can actually be real. I can tell you now that not only is self actualization the case here, but the boy in question has a spirit to be hyped about as well. When you delve deep into your own mind and think about what makes you so likable, take that and composite you a person, and it is all these things in our Greg. A dyed blond pompadour messiah for this pizza generation.

7. Jessica Love

The starkly lit majesty of this next person is quite a thing to behold. At a glance she's perhaps the most intimidating one of them all, yet, one wouldn't be able to see the detail and work put in every single week if you lived in fear from so far away. If you look close enough, you'll find Jessica is ripped from the pages. An ideal candidate from whom we can all learn a thing or two from. It isn't just about the Feleni dinner invitee looks that make her so wonderful, but the earthiness, something so inherently kindred, you feel everything she is and does can correlate to you directly; evoking something you may have loved in the past growing up. Then when you tack on years of latex, spray paint, and hot glue, there is a driving force that makes up this visage; better suited atop the mountains. She is always going to be a disturbingly awesome ingredient that will necessitate the need for more like her, though she'll remain and has been, incomparable to all.

6. Isis Vermouth

Say what you will about Isis, but this personality has been on top of the game, albeit, dry humping it longer than you or I have. With so many off book looks to boot, she has become increasingly harder to recognize. But a sole characteristic remains, a level of filth unmatched. A willingness to go and flirt aggressively with ideas no one would ever touch. Not even with a 10 foot pole. One so strikingly original and destructive should as well be shot to the top, and suss out whatever has started to adorn her spot. Whenever the scene was in need of a renovation from the doldrums befallen it, somehow this perfumed free radical arrived to put balance back where it did (and didn't belong). A queen that can so easily be integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, if not the most beloved weirdo that should be in your circle.

5. Suliman Nawid

A paintbrush can only get you so far, and yet somehow this personality has found a way to take the very foundations of that problem, solved it, by converting it into foundation for the face. Suliman should be written up every where. If you haven't seen him lately, its more than likely he is contractually obligated to hang from the ceiling at a museum. Back when face art/wearable art was in its infancy, this stand out from the pact broke ground amidst the banality of what make up was years ago. This is every gift set come into play. More respect earned when you find out some of it was just to try out. Never seeking recognition or popularity, from what I gather, our sole proprietor of face art at the time introduced a level of gamesmanship still being tried and fought out in the clubs today. We would do wrong to not take into account who wore it best.

4. Citizen Chris

A lot, a lot, can be said about the generosity of this man. So thoughtful and caring is he, that in and of itself, would warrant having its own list. Chris has been the favorite photographer among the club kids for years now. Anybody who can't come to love him are the undead. The skill set is on point always, even his mannerisms alone; how much care goes into talking about people, you get the impression he really wants to do them justice and present them in the best possible light. Same can be said for his photography. You do not yet know the definition of accommodating and supportive till you met him. The eternal homeboy of us all, with a rich knowledge of the scene, and having seen most of it, it's a crying shame he is not drenched in awards and achievements on a weekly basis. No one will dispute this. Those that really matter know who he is. Everyone else out there in the world probably should. A fucking incredible specimen is he.

3. Suzi Hart

Switching gears, let us examine one of the other more sweeter folks who should get their due. Suzi is one who rose to the top and managed to sustain the magic that put her there. A bit of a dark horse amongst the nightlife goers, but it is this very same quality that creates the legends of tomorrow. There is always a ready explanation for her looks, a welcoming atmosphere, and a scholar at the center of her all. Its plain to see why the Brooklyn goddess is draped nightly with hanger ons; folks who covet the star so much so, they want in on her virtue. Having a hand almost in every party, having played in the sandbox with the most important of them all, it is a strange phenomenon she hasn't been nominated or granted more things. And it a robust goodness about her, that intrinsically you gravitate towards. Its what the body secretly wants. Somehow you know deep down, she is you.

2. Venus Pearl Alers

When we all set foot in the door, there waiting would be Venus. Nobody else has more so given their time and had a hell of a time stamp with the industry than her. She was at every bodies first, and is still ushering in a new crop of cyber virgins. The consistency here is that of a good warship, always seen in battle, and defending the original moral code of what made this all great to begin with. She has gone to bat for most of us, and has lend a hand every other which way. She is the luminescent illuminati of what has kept this all going for as long as it has. Without her direct involvement, who knows where we might have end up?. We may not of even had a list?. If you need a refresher course check your very first Instagrams, she's there. Figuring into the lexicon of it all, outlasting everyone in circles with such ferocity, your budding HP levels could never. She is as well an astounding resource for memories, with an affectionate spine to back her. If you so much as mimic it, you'd be better for having had so great a role model. We only regret we didn't meet her sooner.

1. Dolly Dharma

No awards, no headlines. No friends, and no love from most parts of the corners of night life - having ventured the deep end of mischievous. Our top pick is the strange circumstance of Dolly Dharma; a myth put to math, that has yet been solved; that never quite caught on. We have a likable, humorous individual thats eluded mainstream success, however, given this deficiency most of her course, you can say none of it effected her integrity. The creature sacrifices herself for entertainment divine. Her spirit animal must be that of a slaughtered goat in a blood ritual. Night after night, each time I was lucky to see her, be it performance or installation, conversation, I was enriched for having trekked out. Touched, even. This surreal prime, is someone I wish we could all get eyes on. Having pioneered the living installation movement hot right now in nightlife, and taking chances with performance and looks, this person is shaping to be one of the quintessential artist, club kids of our time. Both frugal and a funny being going strong for years now, its easy to see how much of what you see today, the tongue-in-cheek outfits, ironic moronic devices - that her influence has laid the groundwork pretty deeply. Everyone stole from Dolly.
