High heel shoes, a Louis Vuitton bag held by an arm coming from a man’s nose, a mysterious roll of pink material, a Don Rickles cut out, and a drag queen dressed up as a bunny rabbit, superimposed on a doctor’s report of a sexually transmitted disease: these are all a part of the visual language of Erik Peterson.

What’s this guy trying to say?

Today we look at longtime club personality and visual artist Erik Peterson. Erik’s artwork is part of an Erotic art & performance Exhibit, taking place at IML, the International Mr. Leather Conference & Contest, on Memorial day weekend in Chicago.

Erik’s making the bold statement that everyone’s ability to photograph themselves and share their photos online is ruining the nightclub scene. Is social media making us more self-conscious or is it revealing what’s already been there all along?

Listen as we take a look at:

The incredible minds of Vaginal Davis and Marcel Duchamp and the photography of Slava Mogutin and Brian Kenny.

These are the expressions that a lot of photographers endure when taking pictures out at nightclubs or at special events.

For over 15 years, George St. George has photographed Chicago’s nightlife and he’s seen a lot: the fabulous, the freaky and the ugly.

George goes to a lot of fabulous parties and events and photographs for Chicago Social and Boi Magazine and also for our friends at Chicagopride.com

As glamorous as some of these events may be, there’s a dark side to every social scene. On today’s show George shares with us his take on gay Chicago’s biggest and darkest news stories.

Listen as he talks about his run-ins with Michael L Jackson the gay socialite who killed a cab driver during a crystal meth induced rage, the high profile murder case of real estate mogul Lee Miglan, who was killed by Andrew Cunanan, the same man who killed Versace and his friendship with Screaming Rachael who was cited by columnist Cindy Adams as the mistress to a murdered prince.
