Queerty Wish List: Brad Walsh

To celebrate the holidays, Queerty is playing Santa to all your favorite folks and asking what they want under the tree/ next to the menorah/ beside the Saturnalia bonfire this year, no Ms. America answers allowed.

Brad Walsh is a celebrity’s celebrity, a prolific and influential downtown DJ at his own parties as well as the now-legendary pirate costume party known as Misshapes. The Village Voice has called him a “modern-day St. Patrick” with enough influence to “single-handedly driv[e] the scenesters south of Broadway,” which make no sense since Broadway is a north-to-south street, but still sounds pretty cool. He’s also a prolific photographer and a blogger who keeps up on his life with boyfriend Christian Siriano. They got the puppy he wanted, by the way. His name is Topper. He’s adorable.

So what does one of New York’s leading trendsters want for the holidays?

“A vibrating chair.

I am slowly easing myself into becoming a fat old asshole who does nothing but snack and watch bad TV. It sounds like a pretty awesome life. The epitome of being this dude is probably the vibrating chair. Heat optional, I’m really just interested in something that can make me jiggle pleasantly while I decry Heroes through a mouth full of Bugles.”
