"We are changing America and the world" ~Richie Rich. So fucking true it's breathtaking. You are looking at the creative geniuses who redefined pop culture up until this very day.

I just watched "Party Monster" (the movie about these folks) and I thought it was great. I miss occasionally seeing these people at the clubs. Now everyone looks the same. :-/

I love Craig's boss. Wow, that was absolutely fantastic that she had the heart to stand up for someone who works for her and praise him in front of all those people who are doing nothing but tearing him and his scene down! Way to go!

amazing how much public attitude has changed from then to now

I totally agree... in fashion magazines, they were saying high-end designers were using "club kid inspired eye makeup" for their fashion shows this year. The look was very Brandy Wine :)

I love that James said almost nothing the whole show, but was the most fierce out there. He was beautiful!

@UnusualTastes I think it's his pre judging of what they do. "You wouldn't let me in the club!" Not even a question, he doesn't care to acknowledge any of the kids who do successful things. The lady mentions that the one kid works for her, and he brushes it off, and tries to get someone to say something dumb.

To each his own.

The woman at 2:21 is just so amazing. I really have repsect for her.

Ritchie acts more like macaly culkin's portrayal of Michael in the Party Monster

I hate it how old people feel the need to criticize the current youth's culture, just because they're being creative and seeing things in a different way.

Everyone talking at once!!😱

I TOTALLY AGREE.

phil was an idiot

yeah kevin is amped up like WOAH slow down

What michael alig was doing was beautiful. of course he got carried away, but we all need to realize he was trying to be himself, and change the world... and if you see and are aware of GAGA then you know he has done what he set out to do

Volva fishy as fuck

@xilix I don't think anyone quite lives up to the legend in your head, but yeah, i did notice that MOST of them seemed pretty lit. They're just maintaining a little more than Kevin is all I meant. :) And I wasn't talking about him being nervous or a horrible speaker, he was great, in fact.

@veela77 Why all the hate towards Phil Donahue? I'm 21, an art student, pretty damn liberal, fully support gay rights (my brother is gay), and I highly respect Donahue. He always seems very fair and fair-minded. He is true to himself, his guests and his audience, unlike so so many tv personalities. You can't honestly infer that he's being homophobic from any of this? REALLY? Go watch the video of him tearing apart Bill O'riley in an interview- you may find you have a newfound respect for him.

both phil, the audience, and the club kids keep rehashing the same questions and answers over and over. i love the club kid culture but this episode of donahue is sloppy.

I noticed that MA and JSJ didn’t sit next to each other during these appearances; JSJ said they were highly ambivalent about each other.

@veela77 I never got the notion that he hates gay people. Being gay myself I find such people like this quite a novelty. Being gay is quite natural like being left-handed, and does not requisite outlandish behaviour. Phil seems very fascinated in this phenomena, he is letting them speak, but it seems some of the guests appear to feel as if he is not. You can't satisfy everyone, and it does not follow that it is a sign of hatred if you do not.

um i wrote for free tickets and i haven't heard back yet :/

Does anyone know if Kevin ever made it big in the fashion world?!

my style doesnt come from sears . hahaha loves it

Hell Yah!! I do what I can now .. planning on becoming a go-go gal after hs.. but for now I make my own outfits be my self and love the colors ... Joining the night life soon with some contacts!

Vulva... REALNESS.

@lostalex77 Yeah, that's him :)

@eddieomega the shoes (for girls I guess you mean, not many guys, straight OR gay wear such shoes) but also what they helped popularize more I think were alternative body piercings (other than ears and nose I mean) .

@veela77 Sad, but that's what "sold" audiences. I remember watching this episode when it aired and feeling Donahue really was quite biased. Open minds allow people to learn and grow.

@SupHomes correction: only to people who agrees with his opinion. Also it seems that he gets close to his quests to intimidate them or force his ideals on them...

yesss!

kevin is on speed

I miss the honesty of Phil Donahue

haha. Well they are Michael Alig and Richie Rich!

@Discordia5 So is michael.. you don't see him sniffing and swallowing really hard? Kevin was just a horrible speaker, and was nervous. He could've been on coke too but didn't exhibit the same intense mannerisms that Michael was always one something. Always. He did more drugs than anyone in that group. He didn't just chase the dragon, he caught it's entire family and had them chained up in his basement. The guy had absolutely no fear of OD'ing at all.

Richie created the clothing line heatherette and had make up for MAC

I don't care how fast he talks... Kevin is adorable. A little upset that he's 42 or something now though.

@veela77 Sad, but that's what "sold" audiences. I remember watching this episode when it aired and feeling Donahue really was quite biased. Open minds allow people to learn and grow. Clearly Donahue had an angle or agenda.

Donahue is so sad.... I feel so embarrassed for him. How did he have a show for so long.... I guess anything is possible.

they were doing it in the 80s too :}

Lets bring it back, it starts now

Is that Richie Rich from Heatherette?

Yes

People should be measured by the quality of their character, not by the way they look. Algin was a murder, but many of these Club Kids went on to be successful.

MICHAEL ALIG FOREVER!

i used to watch Phil back in the day, and he doesn't necessarily hate gay people and not let them talk. He treated everyone that way, he never let anyone talk. It's so funny how shocked and afraid all the "straight" people are, and by "straight" I mean typical, this show would be so boring now. Thank God people are a little more open minded now.

Does anybody want to help bring back the club kids?

The kid at 3:34 looks like Roxxxy Andrews

Richie Rich is sexy, but do you know who Mylar is? He's on the Jerry Springer club kids episode.. he is STUNNING.

@Sleazymush ... his conscious state of mind? what do you mean by that? sorry ya lost me :\

Do you know what he does now or what happened to him?

Which one

is this before, or after murder?

Oh my goodness, did anyone else notice that the designer named Kevin is on massive amounts of cocaine or something? WOW!

lol true.

Let's bring back the club kids

1:00 is why i love them lol.

That guy who calls them freaks is wearing purple plaid, who is the real freak there?

Gawd, Vulva is beautiful though. Very gorgeous.

Richie♡

I thought the age to get into clubs in the US was 21? How are 16-18yr olds on this show getting in, and after admitting to going in at younger ages, why didn't the club get investigated and shut down?

It was much easier to get a fake ID back then. If you knew the right people, no one was checking IDs. This was before Mayor Guiliani took over and started shutting down clubs left and right. This was before Disney bought Times Square. It was the end of an era for sure.

Thing is this is billed as James St. James on Donahue. Michael was the leader and money maker of the whole lot. Without Alig this would have just been a terrible drag show. James was a hanger on and nothing more. Michael sure kept quiet during this whole melee - That wasn't like him.

and murders

@yellowsailoryo faka gotta be high ;)

Such hypocrites, the scene was all about drugs, ridden with them and in massive amounts.

@hotthottham so what's so modern to you then?

Kevin talks sooooo fast. lol

A lot of kids became junkies.

Love it, captures a moment in history, richie rich becomes a famous designer, michael ends up murdering a drug dealer. It reminds me of of my tgts , the 90's .....generation y bother is born

@veela77 Exactly. His ignorance is disgusting.

Kevin is hot! Lol.

@jorybox219 FALSE! That doesn't even look like Gitsie

i like it cause they challenge everything and everyone. donahue doesnt come across as a good guy.

Donahue is *curiously interested in the crossdressing nightlife

@veela77 Did you know that Donahue is a very far left wing progressive socialist?

this talk show host is really offensive...he puts sooo much emphasis on thier outside apprearance & it's sooo obvious that he isn't listening to anything they're saying and he keeps cutting them off mid-sentence....

@veela77 true that, his just plain terrible

duh lol

LOL go have a chill pill :D

donahue was a horrible interviewer. very judgmental, never can hear a response all the way and constantly cutting off answers.
