“Always Grace Jones. Love a hood moment, especially during winter. Plus, with a metallic accent for a hint of shine, it becomes magic on—and off—the dance floor.”

“Bianca Jagger, for her suiting and general grand entrances, like entering Studio 54 on a white horse or holding doves at Halston’s disco bash.”

“Was I not secretly conceived at Max’s Kansas City and CBGB? I pretty much owe my everything to The Velvet Underground, Television, Richard Hell, Blondie, Patti Smith, the Ramones, the New York Dolls, the Cramps . . . But just to throw a wrench into the whole works, I recently ran across a video of The Rolling Stones singing ‘Dead Flowers’ at the Marquee Club in 1971. Mick and Keith in dueling spangled, sequined, disco shrugs? Call me bedazzled.”

“I would have to say Cher! I love how she rocks an evening sparkle: glittering rainbow fringe—perfect for pirouettes on the dance floor—but especially love the way she pairs it with a bare face and minimal jewelry. It’s so easy to lose jewelry jitterbugging late into the night. A great pair of platform sandals are also essential: Terry de Havilland is disco perfection, but any classic Tribute in metallic shades is even better and gets the job done.
In terms of my dance moves? Some would say I move closer to that of Elaine à la Seinfeld. Just kidding. I love it all: When I get going, I hit all the highlights: Charleston, line dancing, dirty dancing, oh, you name it! You have to see Kelly Connor and me when we team up.”

“Definitely huge style crush has always been Debbie Harry, though I’m obsessed by the dancing Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface—epic. But definitely my biggest style influence on the right side of wild—aesthetically speaking—is Edie Sedgwick with her big white fur and little negligee.”
