In yet another only-in-New-York-kids-only-in-New-York moment, star power trumped raw ability when Lady Kier (of '90s pop-house demigods Deee-Lite) took to the decks at Luke and Leroy's weekly We Care a Lot party Friday, June 3. That didn't matter to anyone, though, especially Kier, who confessed during a post-set cigarette that she didn't care much about perfect mixing (she left that to resident Dirty Jean, who earlier built a jaw-dropping bridge between a repetitive edit of Prince's decidedly electronic "Controversy" and the Michael Zager Band's decidedly live "Let's All Chant"). Instead, Kier focused on song choice and only gained love from an already rapturous crowd. One particularly inspired stretch featured Starflight's "Dance to the Beat" bleeding into Connie Case's "Get Down" bleeding into Lime's "Babe, We're Gonna Love Tonight" bleeding into Sylvester's "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" bleeding into James Chance's "Contort Yourself." But just when it seemed like the set was settling into a classics-not-classics vibe, Kier flipped it into a techy spot and then reversed it back to boogie with Tom Tom Club's "Wordyrappinghood" and Sylvester's "Dance (Disco Heat)." Sly, twice in one night!
Here's Kier mugging for the upteenth photo snapped her way. During her two-hour set, she posed with people, kissed cheeks and chatted between songs. Later, she said that she needed it (the set, the fucking great music, the love) more than anyone else in the room.
A good DJ always gives back. I took this right after she dropped Jellybean's extended mix of the Pointer Sisters' "Automatic." She deserves a thank you everyday for that one.
Damn. I gotta start goin out again.

Love these pics, especially the fifth one down, where Kier is obviously channeling Carol Channing. She totally looks like she wants to be your Rubber Lover.

This Jekyll & Hyde bitch would cuss you out & beat your ass like a red headed step child if she knew you posted these fugly pics of her.
She's like every 2 bit one hit wonder that now has a pair of headphones & 20 CD's & fancies themselves a DJ.
She looks like shit warmed over, isnt it amazing what crack & dope can do for ones complexion?

Omg, who is this haggard puerto rican street walker! Oh no!.....It's Miss Lady Kier from Deee-Lite. See people, this is what ya get when ya can't put down the crack pipe.
Her comeback is going to be a disaster. Crackhead Whitney has a better chance than her, considering that people still know who she is! LOL!
P.S. Those dancers made me puke a little bit in my mouth. Where did she get them? The Aids Factory?
Her political rantings are worthless coming from a drugged up cow.

She does look like she just rolled out of bed ... But really ya'll, Kirby is one of the most talented melodists and lyricists of all time. Give her a break. Whitney was a tool from the get go.

Great! I think she's an awesome DJ and everyone can support my opinion. I've been reading a lot of profiles at Facebook and there are to many fans, so it'd be nice if you can add something about her story, like a special post or something like that.

There are probably thousands of people who live as you do, as someone who tries to sell items in this economy, I've found the need to tighten my belt as well.
