"The Legend of Leigh Bowery", a film by Charles Atlas.
Leigh Bowery is the world's original party monster.
THE LEGEND OF LEIGH BOWERY is an in-depth and revealing tribute to an outrageous and outlandish artist. Whether he was making headdresses out of toilet seats, or giving birth to a full-grown woman in a nightclub. Bowery defined London's culture of outrage and influenced a generation of artists and designers on both sides of the Atlantic. He was also the muse and model for preeminent British painter Lucian Freud. Features appearances by Donald Urquhart, Steve Blame, Gary Glitter, Rachel Auburn, Nicola Bateman-Bowery, Michael Clark, William Feaver, Robyn Healy, Lorcan O'Neill, Alan Pillay, Stewart Laing, Michael Bracewell, Michael Kostiff, Boy George, Tom Bowery, Bronwyn Bowery, Sue Tilley, Ann Holt, Richard Torry, Stevie Stewart, Trojan and Rifat Ozbek

"20 years from now. . .Leigh Bowery gangs. . . " Sounds a lot like Lady Gaga's "Little monsters". I think it's safe to say she's a RIP OFF.
