New York audiences seeking a more unique form of yuletide cheer will be best served by making a pilgrimage to Manhattan's 54 Below nightclub this month, where they can enjoy "Snow Angel," the 2012 incarnation of Mx Justin Vivian Bond's annual holiday spectacular.
Hailed as the "trans-Atlantic cabaret Messiah," Bond truly defies the traditions of performance art. This year alone, the transgender singer-songwriter, author and activist (who opts for the pronoun "v" rather than"'he" or "she") released a new album, "Silver Wells," and is gearing up for the launch of a brand-new fragrance, "The Afternoon of a Faun," for both men and women.
In an interview with The Huffington Post, Bond explained why "Snow Angel" will be a truly celebratory affair (much to v's relief) while offering a unique stance on the role of transgender artists and performers.
