Club Kids

The Club Kids were a group of young New York City club personalities mostly led by Michael Alig and James St. James in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The group were eccentric, wildly flamboyant and were notable for their elaborate and outrageous costumes and rampant drug use of ecstasy, ketamine, cocaine and heroin. Due to there outrageous, over the top, often risqué outfits the club kids club scene was hugely popular among drag queens and transgendered individuals. The Club Kids gained international notoriety, and influenced party scenes around the world. Club Kid-themed parties still take place in various night clubs to this day.
