Warhol superstar Jackie Curtis' "Vain Victory" Highlights 2

6 more minutes of Jackie's hit 1971 experimental theater work, this is part 2 of 2! In these highlights:
Dorrian Gray nails Candy Darling on the floor, a stunning revelation about going too far in the theater, Eric Emerson sings "Come and Follow Me" completely covered in silver glitter, 6'4" transvestite ballerina Madame Subetsunskya performs, and the entire ensemble appears (singing and dancing) in the finale "Let Yourself Go"!

Eric Emerson was a magical man,not of this world.I knew him when he had a band, Eric Emerson & the Magic Tramps.I was 15/16 yrs old.He was my friend, and lover.I'm 51 now.I never met another man like him.He was truly GOLDEN,even w/o the paint.

Absolutely agree 100%, I knew Eric through my friend Jackie Curtis. He was incredibly handsome, and talented at singing, dancing... so charming! We were really lucky to have known him. The clip of him only hints at this. He had real charisma and personal magnetism.

As Paul Serrato says in my documentary 'Superstar in a Housedress', "Hair was the counterculture show for the mainstream audiences uptown, and Vain Victory was the counterculture statement for people who really were involved in the counterculture, who were the counterculture."

Get a glimpse of what all the excitement was about here!

Hi, I'm a friend of Emerson's and he is doing just great. We are actually thinking of putting a documentary together about the children of The Factory.

I loved Eric so much. He was one of my first friends in NYC. He introduced me to many of Warhol/La Mama/Max's people, and taught me how to have sex in a phone booth.

If you don't mind me asking, are you Jane Forth??

[Indio156]

He not only had "real charisma and personal magnetism",he was 1 of the sexiest humans ever. Brad&Ange r ice sexless in comparison.Eric was NOT of this planet,but a golden Angel Satyr, devoid of inhibitions, full of pos energy.A free spirit,full of love.A boyish quality.Eric=JOY.He's been haunting me since I saw your vid & made me 14 thru 17 again.THANK YOU!
