Tonight Club Kai-Kai hosts “the Most Expensive Body on Earth,” Amanda Lepore, for a rare live performance. The iconic socialite, model, and performance artist will grace Portland with her arresting presence for a night of glamour, opulence, and fierce music. Lepore took an unconventional route to stardom: After working the makeup counter at counterculture bastion Patricia Field and running early-’90s New York City nightlife alongside Michael Alig and the Club Kids, she eventually found her spotlight as David LaChapelle’s muse. She quickly became a prominent and trailblazing transgender celebrity, practically becoming a living piece of art. Lepore has modeled in countless fashion magazines, appeared in dozens of movies, and recorded albums of pop fluff and lighthearted electro-influenced club anthems. For those looking for a closer brush with Lepore, VIP tickets include a holiday photo booth session with the living legend. DANIELA SERNA
