Whorehouse 3
“Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.”
After swearing off parties for the better part of a year Contessa asked me to shoot Whorehouse 3, which if you didn’t know is a place where the underground hip hop heads and GBLT scene come to party together. Who else but Contessa and her partner in crime Black Angels founder Promise Smith can bring these scenes together. The above quote from The Godfather 3 kind of sums up how I felt when Contessa asked me to shoot this. I have been avoiding shooting nightlife like the plague. But the truth is as much as I fight it NYC nightlife will always be a part of TheNewPop. Its a big part of our city, so it is a big part of TheNewPop. So when Contessa asked me to do her a favor and shoot Whorehouse 3, I said why not. Plus I loved the theme. But don’t get any ideas about asking me to shoot your party for free. Contessa is a dear friend and she gets the special treatment. I can’t wait to see what these girls do next.
The party was pretty crazy, it seemed like the entire Hip Hop/Punk hybrid scene was there. Just as it started to really kick in and Ninjasonik started to perform the cops pulled the plug. I did manage to grab some good footage before everyone got booted.
Enjoy
