This is the last Stiv Bators performance ever recorded. It breaks my heart to pieces. His moves, his voices, the way he dances, how he didn’t learn the choreography, the way he dresses. Damn, he was the best.

I cropped the John Waters’ Polyester bits in which Stiv Bators appears because… well, because you can’t not love Bobo.
Upon his death, Stiv wanted to be cremated and then he wanted all of his close friends to do a line of his ashes. And a few people did. Caroline Bators did and said it was really painfull, so she said to me, `You don’t have to snort yours’, and I was like, `Thank you’.
I think Stiv would understand. I didn’t look at it, I just folded the paper it was in and put it in a heart-shaped box.
