Convicted Murderer Michael Alig back on Ketamine

Shouldn't this be cross-referenced to that 90s NYC thread?

How boring and predictable...

This is why we need the death penalty. This guy doesn't even care that he killed someone. He spent 17 years inside and learned absolutely nothing and still is blaming everything and everyone else but himself.

I almost wrote the same thing. His face looks like a crazed homicidal clown sans makeup. At least there's a warning sign there for people who might not know who he is. So great that he landed on his feet and is STILL doing K (who does K?) and hanging with DJ buds in his middle age. So much personal growth. I really wish he hadn't been let out of prison. What he did was brutal, premeditated, and unprovoked. He's not sorry at all. In fact, it's his claim to fame.

What R2 said.

What's he doing for money these days?

I had a cousin, he died no too long ago, who was a phycologist for a major prison. He said the murders and rapists thought what they did was no big deal and they said they would do it again if they are let out. He said they had absolutely no remorse.

I 100% believe Alig will attack or kill again.

He's still a raving beauty. What a relief!

*rolls eyes*

If ever someone should have been shanked in prison, it's this man.

So doing some K will help someone else who has done some K?

What does he think he is? A chemistry shaman?

[quote] I had a cousin, he died no too long ago, who was a phycologist for a major prison.

Your cousin studied algae?

Wasn't he the one who said he loved prison because he got fucked a lot?

90s drugs. So lame.

His probation must be over to take such a chance with drugs again and be public about it. I don't think he learned his lesson, he seems to assign blame elsewhere. He's still surrounded by enablers too, I'm surprised his probabtion terms didn't forbid him from associating with Ernie Glam, DJ Keoki, James St James and those others from the old scene.

"Just that one time" seems to be a standard line for people falling off the wagon.

Given the brutality of what he did I don't know why he didn't get a life sentence.

When he goes back to jail for another two decades he'll probably look back at those 'boring' first few months after release (when he was living in the Bronx under probation scrutiny ) as a missed opportunity and he'll regret not keeping clean every day.

Why the hell would he admit this in public? Pathetic.

Vanity Fair's coverage of his release was shameful, with twitter headlines like "Exclusive interview with NYC club promoter!" and "Exclusive photos of artwork in jail by NYC club promoter!"

He likes k, so what?

He was in prison and won't live longer. Let him have his fun

If he likes K, he's getting it illegally. His best chance to stay out of prison would be to avoid his old crowd. He's an idiot and will probably end up back in prison.

I didn't even know K was still popular. It seems like a shitty drug from a shitty time, like angel dust in the 70s.

Supposedly his probation ended in 2016.

If your friend is in a K-hole the last thing you'd want to do is take K, too. Give them a popsicle and don't leave them alone.

[quote]If your friend is in a K-hole the last thing you'd want to do is take K, too.

I found that weird too. The responsible thing to do would be to act as a sitter, completely sober, and make sure your friend was safe.

In Norway, only 20% of inmates end up back in prison once released vs. 80% in the US. What makes their criminals remorseful and able to change compared to ours?

Alig hasn't learned shit. He's an emotionally arrested sociopath who is still living in the 90s. His heyday is over, and he refuses to accept it. Same mentality and habits as always.

I just watched a documentary on Netflix called Glory Daze about Alig. What is he doing now? He was completely unremorseful and making jokes with his fat, bald friend about Angel's death in this thing.

I'd be on Ketamine if I knew how to get it

He's worn out his welcome:

"Alig, 52, revealed he’s currently homeless after falling out with the owners of the Art Factory in Paterson, NJ, where he’d been working as an artist, and presumably living, as recently as this spring.

“I was first staying in hotels. … But that adds up and it was eating up all my money. Because they gave me some money to leave the first building. So I had some money saved, but when that ran out, I was hustling all day long trying to raise $150 to pay for the hotel and then by the time I’d raised that money it was time to raise another $150. So all my time was spent trying to survive and living in hotels. Eventually, that money ran out and I couldn’t really deal with the stress it was causing.”

Because of that, the ex-club promoter, who served 17 years in prison for manslaughter before his 2014 release, turned to Grindr for help.

“So I started going on Grindr hookups just to have someplace to sleep,” he continued. “You know it’s funny, when you go on a Grindr hookup and you want to leave, they want you to stay and when you want to stay, they want you to leave. So I had to pretend that I wanted to leave and they’d go, ‘No, stay, stay!’ Which it worked, by the way. So I did that, going back and forth between that and people’s couches.”

But as with his money, his luck with Grindr eventually ran out, too. After exhausting his options on the app, Alig recently found himself walking back to Manhattan from the Bronx when an unexpected confluence of events ended with him spending the night under a bridge."

I'll be glad when this sociopath is back in jail. Jesus, imagine ... Your tinder hook up is a convicted murderer who dismembered a body and spent the past almost 20 years in prison. And he wants to sleep over because he's homeless. 👹👹👹

A bump of K used to make me ride a dildo like nobody’s business.

Now that Party Monster looks like Craig T. Nelson, his friends are jumping ship. Chainsawing some guy and throwing his limbs into the Hudson did not bother his pals much, but middle-age paunch and thinning hair is completely unacceptable to them!

He actually has a very nice facial structure.

But he is such a parasite.

I looked at this guy's story and I still can't figure out how he got to where he was before the murder. I think some people are very lucky in life.

Its clear this person is a danger to society.

It's heartwarming how he was able to adapt to the new times! He didn't get any skills but he learned how to use Grindr to couch surf, he's resilient!

Size meat verificata?

How does a 50 year old successfully hook up each night on Grindr to keep himself off the street? Who wants that? Is he a drug dealer?

I'm a fucking famous club kid r38! And I didn't get smaller, the pictures did!

Is he a DL poster? "I'm 52, but I can pass for 46."

R1 Hi Michael Alig!

I think he's cuter now than he ever was in his youth

I wonder where he slept last night.

Video of Michael talking shit about the hosts who gave him a job and a place to live, and how he declared "I'm leaving!" thinking they'd run after him, but they didn't.

Gurl, bye!

I know a park in New Haven Alig should visit.

Nasty racist fucker.

Uckgh... That shirt and bow tie coupled with his fussy mannerisms... He's officially a sad, old queen.

He should thank God that he’s gay. There will always be desperate homos who want to bask in the glow of his notoriety. Think of the Likes when one posts a pic with Michael on Insta!

Straight women would never.

This will not end well

The friend how interviews him should watch himself. This is very negative energy and I couldn't watch more than 2 minutes.

*who

[quote] I was hustling all day long trying to raise $150 to pay for the hotel and then by the time I’d raised that money it was time to raise another $150.

"Hustling" doing what, I wonder?

A couple months ago he was in the hospital with an oozing leg. Is he still homeless?

Ugh I hope no one here is fucking this piece of filth.

[quote] He said he did ketamine — a drug he’s said he was on when he attacked Melendez — but claims he did it to help a pal. “She was in a K-hole, so I did a bump of K and said, ‘I’m coming in to get ya’ . . . everything was fine.

Oh, that makes it okay then.

It's a magic potion that makes you enter another universe, and only someone who also takes it can possibly get you out of there again.

Does Michael Alig still wear a diaper? He was shitting himself because of the anal bottoming he was experiencing in prison. I I don't know if the problem was temporary or long term.

^ Source please.

And I'm wondering what he means by "hustling" all day for motel money. I'm guessing he's panhandling or petty drug dealing.

Saying he looks like Craig T. Nelson is excellent shade, and truth!

What the hell was that video at r44? That CREEPO sitting next to him being totally nasty to him and his sad story it’s just too much.

Not even going to make fun of this it’s just super tragic all around.

The creepo is Ernie Glam, another aged club kid still stuck in the 90s. I didn't think he was being particularly nasty to Michael in that video. Michael himself is a nasty piece if work and basically sniveling in a publicly posted video about people who apparently helped him.

IS Ernie the one with the REALLY tragic lips?

Maybe you're thinking of Amanda Lepore, famous old tranny on the club kid periphery.

JFC!!! What ghouls!!!

Wonder what Michael Musto and James St. James have to say about this. They’re the only ones in this whole sordid psychodrama that I somewhat respect, and they were both low-key supportive of Alig upon his release from prison. Wonder if they’ve changed their minds now.

British rapper (I know) Kate Tempest has a song called Ketamine for Breakfast. Are the youngsters of today into K holing?

He spat in RuPaul’s mouth one night at the Tunnel or some other lame place.

You respect James St. James? That makes one of us who does.

He was known for gross shit like that. Apparently he stood on the balcony over lowly bartenders and peed on them. When one complained to owner Peter Gatien he was fired.

Bitch still owes me drink tickets!

The headline is sensational. If you read the article he only took Ketamine once because a friend was in a K hole and her had to take a bump to go in and help her out. Any friend would do the same.

I can NOT get over how much he resembles Hitler in that clip at r44

This thread is totally aggravating my Morgellon's

R71 No

[quote]I just watched a documentary on Netflix called Glory Daze about Alig. What is he doing now? He was completely unremorseful and making jokes with his fat, bald friend about Angel's death in this thing.

The highly entertaining True Crime Obsessed podcast talks about Glory Daze at the link.

"Now let's talk about a gay club kid who was super mean to people, became addicted to drugs, and murdered AND DISMEMBERED a fellow club-goer, shall we? Did I mention that he stuffed the body in a box LIVED WITH IT IN HIS APARTMENT FOR A WEEK, and then threw it into the Hudson River? No? Ugh, we'll get to it."

"Glory Daze follows the rise and fall of club kid Michael Alig. From his humble beginnings as busboy in 1984 to his eventual reign as King of New York City nightlife, to his (sweet deal of a) prison sentence for murder. And as if that wasn't enough, get ready for some bonkers cameos from Patricia Field, Michael Musto, and Amanda Lepore (In A Limo! For No Apparent Reason)"

From bumping K to bumbing people off, Michael sure loves to bump!

Keoki was a decent looking guy, but he obviously has no standards or taste to regularly hook up with Alig - the human embodiment of vomit.

I wonder where he slept last night.

Well r78 hopefully in a box in the Hudson!

DJ keioki is an awful dj. Shit music. He has the HIV right? Also he is ugly. These sad ass fame chasing aging queens...

His Instagram account is pathetic.

Here's an example of his art, posted last minth on his IG. He is obviously still inspired by 90s era drugs like Ketamine.

Thank You for your interest in my new party, Outrage!

I am thrilled to collaborate with such a distinguished batch of artists, and I can't wait to see where it goes. The response so far has been overwhelming. The club itself seems full with 125 people, and so far I've received nearly that many messages from artists and other creative people, like yourself, interested in being part of this experiment. Let's face it. NYC and it's night life, in general, hasn't been exactly memorable these past few years. My hope is to make Outrage one of those exhilarating, must-attend weekly parties that will have people talking twenty years from now about this being "the good old days."

In order to achieve this, we are looking for people to fill the following positions:

1: Party Host: You're cool and eclectic art-type person who knows people who know people who know people. Invite people to the party.

2:Dj's: Keoki has been booking the music, right now we're using Dj's Grave and Whillyem. But we're looking for opening guest Dj's, it's always good to add a little different taste to the food. So if you think that's you, let us know!

3: Performers, Go-Go Dancers, etc: This is the butch the brought you The Pee Drinker, Woody, The Dancing Amputee and Ida, The Texan Drag Queen who pulled a string of lit Christmas light from her ass, so lip-syncing to Whitney Houston ins't going to get you any brownie points at Outrage. Come correct, don't bother.

4: Event Promoters: Like party hosts, but bringing in a more specific event, like friend's birthday, a party celebrating the opening of a local clothing store, and art exhibition, etc.

5: Artists, painters, photographers, etc; For solo or group exhibitions.

If you think you fit in any of these positions and wants to be part of our family, please feel free to leave us a message.

At first I though r83's post was a parody. Nope. Gad.

"Curator." He's a quick study.

This piece of shit should've died in prison.

[quote]I looked at this guy's story and I still can't figure out how he got to where he was before the murder. I think some people are very lucky in life.

I know! This guy was a straight-A student in high school and got a full scholarship to Fordham. He was a successful promoter who was a complete douchebag (really, urinating on people?!) He was always in the right place at the right time in his adult years. He goes to prison and exhibits no contrition. Unfuckingbelieveable.

Is he on speed all the time? His mannerisms in that park video above are like a speed freak.

I knew Alig back in the 80's from the clubs. His life was a mess then and its still a mess.

PS. Ketamine doesn't make anyone violent.

^ Share more, please! Thank you.

I wonder where he's sleeping tonight.

she's a mess

Creating the next generation of K customers, Michael?

Wholesome!

how much do promoters make really?

R83 — that ad was ghoulish. Am still shivering. Would love to ask James St. James or Michael Musto to comment.

Being a homeless convicted murder- AND addicted to club drugs, in your 50’s is not a cute look.

R66 in this decade it is still a thing, but only with broke hick teenagers in the rural West.

R84 I thought it was a Stefon Meyers skit quoted in full.

R93 His mother must be the stage parent of all time by letting her son hang out with a vicious murderer but hey, if it gets her boring kid exposure and fame then it’s well worth it

Ha. His K using story reminds me of Michael Irvine's account of being stopped by the police who found a crack pipe in his car(this was after several attempts in rehab.) He gave perhaps the lamest explanation I have ever heard: "I was just called to a friend's house where I took it away from the guy who was about to relapse."

But eventually M.I. did straighten himself out...which was good.

[quote]I still can't figure out how he got to where he was before the murder. I think some people are very lucky in life.

He's a charismatic psychopath. Not 'lucky'. He leaves a trail of anger and bitterness in those foolish enough to fall for his seedy homicidal 'glamour'.

I will say though, he and his chums were the last of the truly underground youth movements. They were doing their thing in the twilight of the pre-digital age, no social media. They handed out paper flyers. Things were not put under the internet spotlight and destroyed by overexposure like they are now. Interesting people and sub-cultures didn't get chewed up by corporations so fast.

Oops he forgot one open position! 6. Party Favor Distribution. A pivotal position in the Outrage/Michael Alig family. You'll earn your wings by picking just the right goodies for an optimal night of fun and debauchery. Tweak your mix of enhancements based on the night's theme. Fire up your venmo!

The romance of ’90s club culture... How tired. These people weren't even musicians.

Earn your wings but maybe lose your legs.

The British slang for being drunk is 'legless'. Head to London, Alig, and throw a party called, simply, 'Legless.'

90s club culture was the antithesis of romantic.

I wonder where he's sleeping tonight.

^^ Hopefully not at my place!

[quote] If you read the article he only took Ketamine once because a friend was in a K hole and her had to take a bump to go in and help her out. Any friend would do the same.

IT'SH WHAT FRIENDSH DO!

Shocked to see the drag-child spending time with those two who are the embodiment of 'bad influences'. Didn't realise till then the shamelessness of his parents; had just thought they were allowing Desmond to be Desmond. Guess not.

Wasn't he supposedly incontinent now?

r111 From what? being the jailhouse pass around?

They let a 10 year old sit with Michael Alig...... for a lengthy interview..... in front of a Rohypnol painting........?

This child needs to be taken off these 'parents' as soon as humanly possible.

R25, the norwegian/swedish system focusses on rehabilitation. the inmates receive extended therapy, are encouraged to finish school degrees, learn a craft or get their drivers license - things that will make it easier for them to find a place and in society and a job once they are out of jail. they also receive help transitioning from jail to freedom. the american system (there are more countries who do this) basically just locks the inmates away, noone cares about the "after". when you're out, you're on your own. there are several countries who found some m.o. in between.

R113 The videos of Alig and his weasle sidekick grooming the little drag child are going viral among anti-gay rightwing Christian groups as the penultimate “to do” on the Gay Agenda, ignoring that the creepy stage parents who exposed their son to Alig are not even gay - just white, middle-class straight people pimping out their kid for attention and profit.

r115 I didn't think it could be worse, but you've explained to me that it is. Ugh.

[quote] And this is why he is reluctant to tell me about what is perhaps the worst punishment for his crime: a pinched nerve in his back that has gone untreated by prison doctors for the past seven years and caused numbness from his groin area all the way down to his right foot. One of the results of the loss of feeling is that he has lost muscle reflexes in his bladder and sphincter. He is incontinent. His mother is constantly sending him new underwear, and he regularly has to wash his soiled sheets in the toilet in his cell. The condition is called Cauda Equina Syndrome, and, if left untreated, it can result in a permanent loss of sensation. But the thing he’s really worried about is, who will love an incontinent man in his forties? “When I ever get out of here,” he says, “I will never find a boyfriend.”

He couldn't find a fifth grader to edit that illiterate mess @ R83?

^ Maybe drag kid could do it.

This sick fuck is an actual murderer and he's getting better treatment here than that other old has-been Kevin Sessums.

When is the next episode of PUKE? I want to see the next installment of that riveting series.

Why are they always in a public place?

I’m on the edge of my seat.

He looks like Ben Kingsley in OP's photo.

Michael Alig is now living with the other has been druggie Kevin Sessums in Hudson NY.

^ How do you know? That Instagram photo doesn't say anything about it. I'm not trying to be argumentative, just really want to know the source, especially if you know them yourself. Spill!

I worked at Limelight, Tunnel, and Club USA during Alig's heyday in 1991-95, or so. I didn't know him, but I was around him all the time. He never looked as well or healthy than he does now, if that's saying anything.

He seemed like a borderline personality. Smart and functional and able to control almost his entire environment at all times. He WAS the show. Party promoting is hard work yet he seemed to hit a formula that worked and he earned a SHIT TON of cash every week from Peter Gatien. He paid the flock of club kids $100 a night and 4-5 drink tickets to come be the environment and sort of host. Mostly they got drunk and high and talked only to each other, but that was enough! DJ Keoki was Michael's boyfriend and nobody seemed to like him. He dj'd on Fridays at Limelight, a second-tier night as far as cool factor, Wednesday was the bigger night.

Michael would have these themes at Disco 2000, one of the more popular ones had Alig in full make up but dressed as a nurse, some other club kid was the doctor, I forget who. A cardboard "hospital" was set up with two or three chairs inside, and clubgoers lined up one at a time to go in and be dosed with complimentary Rohypnol! I kid you not! Of course they'd all be staggering around in half an hour. Michael often would lean over and grab the well vodka from the bar and go around pouring shots for people. The bar manager warned us NOT to allow this, but Michael was basically king. Eventually on most nights Alig would be so incapacitated he would be carried out by four bouncers (Patty and his hot brother Louie + two more) out of the club and into a cab. Maybe all of that was for show? I don't know, but he'd be back fresh as a ghoulish daisy the next day to pick up money, or drop off guest lists!

The murdered guy, Angel Melendez, was a jerk and a terror. He was someone to avoid, but fit right in with the rest I guess. Even they had had enough of him, and he was on the way out of the social sphere with the club kids. He would get thrown out of places for his messy behavior. Of course the guy didn't deserve to get murdered, but the whole story was not surprising to me at all. I doubt Alig has the skills to get back on his feet, he likely cannot understand where the magic went. Oh, it was a time!

Not surprised to hear that druggies Kevin Sessums and Michael Alig hanging together. They both have severe mental issues which only get worse when they use drugs.

But the thing he’s really worried about is, who will love an incontinent man in his forties? “When I ever get out of here,” he says, “I will never find a boyfriend.”

sounds repentful, does he not?

Always sad watching people who based so much of their self worth on being relevant, but weren’t really and are now entirely irrelevant, desperately scrabble about for the oxygen of attention.

Sad, but strangely entertaining.

‘ Who will love an incontinent man in his 40s ? ‘

I guess that’s what passes as optimism when you are a convicted murderer who dismembered his victim.

WE probably know each other, R126. The thought entertains me, and your post is very authentic.

No, it doesn't sound like he has repented, R128.

There's a difference between feeling sorry, and feeling sorry for yourself.

'who will love a drug addled homeless man in his fifties who spent two decades in prison for murdering my dealer over an unpaid drug debt'?

Great post r126. Can you tell us more about Angel?

Are you the one who posted about Alig and Sessums living together?

Alig and Sessums are a perfect couple. Two loathsome criminals. They must be making a lot of money together selling drugs again!

I remember seeing the Club Kids on an episode of Geraldo from the 90s with Alig on the panel and Angel, in red leather biker garb and ridiculous giant angel wings, parading down the aisle and into the audience. Watching it in retrospect is creepy as hell.

Sounds like American Horror Show, Alig and Sessums together, the two creepiest gay men together!

Would you be surprised if front page news has Sessums murdered by his Ronnie?

Wednesday nights at Limelight - the only night and club where I was let in for free

always had to pay, but i never did drugs or drank.

the tunnel was a better experience

Why was Alig released from prison after murdering someone?

why would an aesthetic like ks have rather messy, broke- ass incontinent as his roommate?

ks seems proud of his 'loft' and his collection of art, all this would jeopardize with a roommate of this type.

I have a friend in prison for murder. It’s been 30+ years and we will never get out. But he’s black.

Looking at him I bet he would be a very good cocksucker and swallow loads also. I’d let him.

^ Source on Sessums doing scat porn, please.

And how do we know that Alig moved in with him?

nothing on social media indicates these two are roommates

I thought Alig was living with that dumb-looking younger guy. I think his name's also Michael. He was on The Pee-ew once, staring, unblinkingly into the camera, thinks he's pretty hot but looks like dumbfuck prison leftovers trying to be tough.

By contrast, Riggs used his time in prison to work on rehabilitating himself, dropping the drugs and wankery and earning a degree. He's also undertaken further studies and is now a university professor, living a quiet life, research and teaching. I doubt he'll ever have a cop feel his collar again for any reason, whereas Alig...

Chemsex is pretty pervasive in NYC these days.

Drugs appears to the only source of income for Kevin Sessums. Alig and Sessums make a match made in heaven. Both are vile, hateful, unattractive narcissistic creeps.

How the fuck did that creep Riggs get a 5 year paid PHD fellowship to NYU and then a professorship? I'm all for rehabilitation but this sound like not the complete story.

Photo of Kevin Sessums and Michael Alig’s home (aka drug den).

I thought Michael Alig and Kevin Sessums were the same creature?

R152 are you the OCD loon who posted for 2 years incessantly about the "Andy Cohen Brent Corrigan" deeply committed love match?

Oops, my snark was meant for R153!

I hope Sessums follows Alig like white on rice and then pulls a Capote by writing a bestselling novel which turns Alig insane with anger and jealousy!

If every guy looked and acted like Michael Alig, I would be a douchebag hetero ladykiller Casanova.

I also thought that Kevin Sessums and Michael Alig were the same person?

I hope Michael Musto writes about this.

When do we get a new episode?

New episodes comes when either Michael Alig or Kevin Sessums destroy each other...

The thought of Sessums and Alig together sounds like scary horror movie!

Sad to hear that both Kevin Sessums and Michael Alig are taking drugs again.

Some people really, truly don’t deserve to live. It’s true.

If your friend is in a k-hole, how does taking a bump help you “come in to get ya?” That sounds like bullshit.

I remember watching a few episodes of his YouTube show (‘The Pew’, or something like that) and thought he looked like a mess that would soon return to drugs.

Did Michael Alig turn Kevin Sessums into a junkie?

what R2 said.

I think Sessums is 25 years older than Alig and Sessums have turned him into a junkie.

how can a murderer who chopped up his victim be out of prison???

the victim was 'just a latino drug dealer' and the perp a well connected white

Alig was even able to score drugs in prison, well connected indeed. The judges order should have been for Alig to never return to NYC.

Not only 'able to score' drugs, but given them. Free. The head of some big gang was in the same complex and because of previous connections, certain dealers paid to be in certain clubs and other stuff, he told gang mebers inside to just keep him happy- comp him on sight. Alig was getting drugs of all varieties, whether or not he wanted them, [but hes Alig, so he mostly wanted them.]

^ That doesn't make any sense.

Tl;dr: MA didn't need to ask for drugs or make an effort to go score because low level dealers had been told if they see him, and whatever they had, to give him some free stuff. He doesn't even like smoke but they'd be giving him little bags of weed because that's what they were told to do.

^ Told by who? And what did Alig supposedly provide in return?

Maybe he provided years of money to mafia guys from his club events

^ Uh, no.

His club events were waning in profitability around the time he killed Angel. And Peter G's clubs (the ones where Alig did his party business) were raided and shut down for drugs and Peter was run back to Canada. The club kid scene was short lived.

There's no "mafia" who earns anything from Alig today, please. Maybe, MAYBE he (or more likely, Peter Gatien) paid some shake down money in the 90s or offered up his clientele for drug sales, but most likely the drug dealers in that scene were small time guys like Angel, the one he killed.

I can't imagine Alig being given drugs in prison by the "head of a big gang" when he had nothing to offer at that point. If Alig got drugs, he sucked and fucked for them like any other prison bitch, and used money sent by his mom and friends.

I MIGHT believe some people kept him in drugs because they thought he was famous and could do something for them. I DON'T believe he would be kept in drugs by the "mafia" as gratitude for a few short years of club kid clientele, IF they were even buying from said "mafia" in the first place.

Alig is not providing much of anything to anyone these days, let alone gangs or mafia. He can't seem to keep friends around and was recently sleeping under a bridge for fuck's sake. If anything, he's small time drug dealing for supper and to support his own habit and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets arrested within the next year on some distribution charge, where he's caught with some small amount of drugs on his person.

I like this version of Alig, played by Macaulay Culkin.

Even Culkin looks better now than Alignment!

Why are rodent creatures like Michael Alig and Kevin Sessums celebrated?

Well, I did say “maybe” sheesh. Did I trigger you?

[quote] Why are rodent creatures like Michael Alig and Kevin Sessums celebrated?

Because they were "fabulous" at one time. Their ilk appeals to the vapid and shallow, which are impressed by appearances and prone to drug use and generally have poor taste and judgment.

Is r173/r175 able to explain how and why Michael Alig got free drugs in prison from a gang leader? If it's true it's interesting and I'm curious how they know. If it's just some fanciful supposition, then well... It serves to allude that Alig somehow remained "fabulous" even in prison but is only that, a rumor that serves his lore and helps bilk his silly fan base if possible.

[quote] Alig was even able to score drugs in prison, well connected indeed.

Almost anyone can score drugs in prison, even jail.

I don't think he's living with Sessums. He appears to be mooching off some young artist/filmmaker in Florida at the moment.

Sounds like Sessums and Alig have a North/South Drug business now.

Someone upthread said Angel wasn't a very nice guy. Details, please.

Looking at Sessum’s Wiki page he sounds successful and respectable.

Angel was a POC, so of course he was nice.

^ I can't remember if I read it somewhere or saw in a documentary, but the feeling about Angel by the club kids was that he was a hanger-on, didn't fit in with them, and they tolerated him only because he was a drug source. Was there more to the story than that?

Angel would get really nasty and rage-y when drunk and high...which was often. The lousy end to his life was shocking yet not surprising.

Alig’s sentence was a joke compared to others who have done the same. Being white pays off.

Kevin Sessums is going to be arrested again?

Yeah, Angel was tolerated because he slung drugs.

Will Michael sleep under a bridge tonight, or is he still crashing on that young dude's parents' couch in Florida?

Who cares r190? he wasn't Alig's bf, he was his fucking smack dealer. Don't act like this was motivated by Angel hurting Michael in any way, it was to get free drugs.

Why are people so fascinated by him? He’s a sad, old drug addict murderer. Nothing else to know or see.

Nobody's saying he deserved to die r195. Just wondering what he was like.

I wonder where Michael slept last night.

Did you read where he said he feels personally responsible for the death of NY nightlife and that he feels responsible for rectifying it too? You guys, NY nightlife begins and ends with Michael Alig! He invented it! Wait with baited breath for a nightlife of a New York that no longer exists to come back any day now!

He is a chubby vile thing.

So???

This fucking mess is clearly a sociopath.

In "Glory Daze" on Amazon Prime, he makes jokes with James St. James the day he's released from prison about whether or not he sees Angel Melendez floating in river. Then he says, "This is a great place to dump a body."

Good for him! He obviously knows what he’s good at and what loves to do!

Michael is still couch surfing.

Latest sighting at some "DJ"'s apartment.

Neighbors called the cops on them for being too noisy.

Sad. He was so cute in Home Alone

He needs to die

He should stick with hard drinks to get drunk fast.

None a that pixie Ketamine stuff.
