The Club Kids

They were New York Legends. They pushed fashion to the limit. They partied like no other.They were the Club Kids.The group was led by Michael Alig and James St. James in the late '80s to early '90s. It consisted of a crew which was infamous for their outrageous outfits and extensive drug use who were hired by clubs to make appearances. Some of the CK included Heatherette designer Richie Rich and American icon Amanda Lepore. A movie was made in 2003 called,"Party Monster", starring McCauley Calkin and Seth Green chronicling the CK's lives in New York. James St. James also wrote a book about his time as a Club Kid called,"Disco Bloodbath".
