May 8, 2015

In the weekend “scene planner” of my local newspaper is an announcement of a fundraiser for the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA).  The “Y” is sponsoring a pub crawl (!) from 5-10 PM.  It is asking everyone to “dress up as members of the band Village people.”  According to the Wikipedia entry for “The Village People,” the band was “created . . . to target disco’s gay audience by featuring popular gay fantasy [personalities].”  The costumes of band members were “based on the fantasy attire often worn by gay men of Grenwich Village . . .”
