Ivana Trump has her birthday party at Lucky Cheng's, the famous East Village club, every year. Like most other things in this town, cross-dressing for a living is very competitive . T here are about 25 drag queens who work at Lucky Cheng's, and the jobs, when they open up, are by invite only. We have a standard, a look. We don't do like those 14th Street prostitutes.
Fashion is fundamental.
Cross-dressers often have things custom made. Lucky Cheng's has its own couturier, a costume designer, Johnny Moi. Chanel, Joyce Leslie and Daffy's are all popular brands with the performers. Cocktail just had his first custom outfit made. Founded by a husband and wife team eight years ago, Lucky Cheng's also has a location in South Beach, Miami.
