To say she deserves every accolade possible would be a miserable understatement. Fayette and the Cockettes have created environments that would have made Toulouse Lautrec stutter in delight. You entered another world at the Cockette’s house, the sweet smell of thousands of roses lining the ceilings and walls, artifacts of every sort, exquisite lamps, furniture, and beautiful rugs in every room and trunks overflowing with vintage clothing and jewelery of every era all blending together to create a profound experience of fantasy melding with reality, absolutely intoxicating all who entered. I very well remember sitting with Fayette’s brother Tim before he founded Manhattan Transfer, during a dress rehearsal at the Anderson Theater on 2nd Ave. in NYC for “Moon Over Shanghai” a guerrilla theater piece staged in less than two weeks with mad sets and costumes, both of us in total awe and admiration over the enormity and beauty of the complex production they’d managed to pull together with such brilliance. I alao highly recommend “Trisha Nixon’s Wedding” filmed at the Chinese Theater in North Beach starring Fayette and the Cockettes. Many rock stars owe their style to Fayette and the Cockettes. SFMoMA is the right place for the incredible gifts they’ve given us. Congratulations to all :)

FIERCE.

hir fantasy life was definitely something she escaped to, but she also never failed to make hir real life reflect hir fantasies. we should all push ourselves to do more of the same.
