WIGSTOCK 1993 AT TOMPKINS SQUARE PARK -REPOST-

This edition of the Wigstock Annual Party at Tompkins Park is probably the craziest one I can remember ! Tompkins Square Park had already been "cleaned up" but the whole neighborhood was still wild and cool. At the time, this is where you wanted to be in Manhattan!
