Heating up Fahrenheit

‘It’s my baby — and I’m finally giving birth,’ says Ace DeVille of his Tantalizing Tuesdays

Posted

Drag, dance, fashion and a taste of New York can all beexpected at Ace DeVille’s Tantalizing Tuesdays at Fahrenheit UltraLounge.

Every Tuesday, DeVille gets together a team of models,dancers, drag queens, strippers and any other talent deemed worthy andsets them loose on Fahrenheit’s stage. The premiere show earlier thismonth featured about two dozen models performing during six songs.During one song, drag queen Maria came out in a wedding dress, whichwas then sprayed with neon paint, an act that DeVille says is inspiredby fashion icon Alexander McQueen.

The show has been two-and-a-half years in the making forDeVille, who first started planning a similar event for Level II, aprevious venue in the space that houses Fahrenheit. DeVille says thatthat event, which was titled “Ace DeVille and the Club Kids’ Mad TeaParty,” was canceled after the venue failed to follow through. Now thatthe location has re-opened as Fahrenheit Ultra, DeVille was asked totake over Tuesday nights.

“It’s my baby,” DeVille says, “and I’m finally giving birth.”

DeVille is on the lookout for new talent to book forfuture Tuesdays and encourages interested performers to look up AceDeVille on Facebook, which is how many of the current performers werebooked. “I want performers who don’t have a place to join,” saysDeVille, emphasizing that the show is intended to be an interactivespace for patrons.
