St. James came to New York in 1984 and became a Celebutante after becoming a close friend to nightlife icon and columnist Michael Musto . Michael Alig came to the city around the same time and looked to St. James as a role model, however he was shunned by St. James and the others at the top of the club scene caste system. Alig soon created his own scene by gathering up other creative rejects of the nightlife world by copying St. James' flamboyant style with self-promotion and innovative, themed parties. Alig eventually grew on St. James and he morphed from celebutante to Club Kid. Michael Alig infamously murdered club kid wannabe, Angel Melendez . The event is documented in St. James's memoir '' Disco Bloodbath ''. A documentary titled '' Party Monster '' (1998) was based on the events leading up to and surrounding the murder, and a Feature Film Of The Same Name was released in 2003, which starred Seth Green as St. James and Macaulay Culkin as Alig. St. James wrote several columns, most famously for the New York City -based Gay publication OutWeek in the early 1990s. outweek magazine St. James currently resides in Los Angeles, working for the production company World Of Wonder Productions, makers of " Party Monster ". His new book, ''Freakshow'', was released May 17, 2007. REFERENCES
