How Do You Advertise a Drug and Sex-Fueled Circuit Party?

New York's Black Party is one of the must-attend events of the year. It was last weekend, but the posters for the party are works of art to look at all year round.

Back in 1981, the first one was shot by Robert Mapplethorpe and they haven't gotten any less dirty and artistic since then. Time Out New York rounded up the 29 posters for the 30 bacchanals (the first party was a two-day affair, so only one invitation) and they are all beatiful and provocative to this day. A favorite is the one Joe Oppedisano shot of Buck Angel a few years back.

As for the party this year, it was totally nuts! We were there as were tons of porn stars like Barrett Long, Rafael Alencar, Diesel Washington, Dean Flynn (in our favorite outfit of the night) and even Mike Dreyden and Damian Rios having simulated sex on stage and hurling "To the Last Man" DVDs into the shirtless, churning crowd of 5000 or so men. Oh, good times. There's a link to pics below.
