1954 ~ 2010
new york city nightlife has lost one of it's own last week. the legendary marc berkley. if you didn't know marc, you certainly had him in your hands every friday night when you picked up a copy of HOMO XTRA aka HX. the ringmaster of our favorite weekend parties was the founder of fag rag we all COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT if you to be a homo in the know!
the first time i met marc was at the limelight in the years when i was in the house of xtravaganza and hanging tough with kenny kenny, michael alig and the rest of club kids that helped build a scene long missed. marc said to me "i love your look". we just laughed because while everyone else was dressed in costumes that defied imagination, i was in a white t-shirt, blue jeans and my signature yankee baseball cap... at the time i was living at home and totally closeted from my family.
we'll all miss you marc. thank you for leading a generation!
