Polysexual freaks, European aristocrats prepare to land on Planet Life Ball. By Glenn Belverio

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Very excited, just found out I've been invited again to the Life Ball in Vienna. The theme this year is outer space chic: gays/freaks/people living with HIV as "aliens" on Earth. I'm thinking of working some kind of Dr. Smith on "Lost in Space" meets Warhol silver Factory look. I hope the chartered plane to Vienna is decorated with a retro spaceship theme! Agent Provocateur will be the event's fashion show and my pal Kelly Cutrone of People's Revolution is doing the PR. Hope to see you all there!

For my coverage of last year's Life Ball, please visit Confessions from the Velvet Ropes.

Love,
Glenn Belverio
