My hero likes Bad Brains, vodka, and blondes…
Last week I celebrated Christian Alexander, the newly minted creative director at The Box, downtown’s sex-theater-club. Well, on Saturday I was celebrating a friend’s 30th birthday when someone got a text from Mr. Alexander saying to come to The Box. This was at 3:45am. We arrived at The Box at 4am and were told Christian hadn’t shown up yet. Inside: a few hundred people attempting to keep it together in The Box’s neo-regal setting.
At 4:20 am Christian shows up (with Cee Lo from Gnarls Barkley and ten girls in tow). Almost on cue Raven O, The Box’s mc, came onstage in a diaper with a feather. Raven introduces a twin sister act–two blondes. The twins proceed to smoke long cigarettes, strip, and have fuck with didldos. This exists.
Yes Virginia, there is a place where naked girls and Cee Lo hang out with guys who like Bad Brains at 5am.
And that is what makes Christian Alexander an American hero. Who else shows up to work at 4:20am with a guy who just performed on Saturday Night Live?

Did you catch that Gnarls Barkley SNL performance? I was impressed. Cee-Lo’s voice and vibe came across well, especially with the infamously terrible-sounding SNL set.
