Fashionista!

The top 10 BILLBOARD Hit from
THE original album JAMESTOWN

Once in a great while, a camp anthem squirms its way out of the gay ghetto into the pop-culture world at large (a la RuPaul’s “Supermodel”). “Fashionista,” by veteran New York performance artist Jimmy James, is so damn clever, it is hard not to offer a howling squeal of approval before clicking replay — again and again. Particularly memorable is James’ “Vogue”-like rant: “Sean John, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan’s fashion line/Valentino, YSL, Ferragamo and Chanel/Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci, don’t forget my Pucci.” Now that is some rhyming. The song is obviously an homage to the high-fashion scene, but James ends up paving his own runway with originality and enough grit and wit to make this bitchy dance ditty a worthy entry for mainstream approval.
