Fast Cheap celebrates 10 years of bumping and banging

Could it really be 10 years since I sat in Lucyâs Hat Shop watching kids strip off their glad rags and dance while corsetiere Psydde Delicious provoked them to further silliness and sexiness? But here we are — Fast Cheap at 10-years-old is happening now.
âThe Fast Cheap anniversary will host a cavalcade of our usual stars and celebrity guests, celebrating with many of the original surviving talents and partygoers who started a legend with us,â says Delicious.
He used to have the phrase "Out of Controlâ attached to it too. But Psyddeâs more compact now — with a menâs store in the Piazza to go with his Delicious Corsets shop on Liberties Walk he hardly has time for extraneous phrasing. "I think back fondly of our humble beginnings at Lucy's Hat Shop and how we single handedly created a seedy underbelly tarnish on the sterling shine of Old City during those first few sleazy years,â says Delicious. "The motorcycle gangs, accountants, punks and strippers all partying together harmoniously — it was great. Funny how it was always the jocks that started any problems there. No matter, it was probably the most genre bending party of its time.â
Delicious is celebrating with two events — one tonight at Patou in Old City, the decadent partyâs original haunt with the equally haunted and decadent Three-4-Tens. There will be a few Delicious dancers to help brighten the dusk of the high-ceilinged French locale while Psydde DJs.
Then thereâs Fast Cheap bash at Fluid on Sunday, September 27 â where the party's been since Lucyâs asked Psydde to move after the lewdness. The Fluid bash features special guests such as Melissa Bang-Bang, Violet Sweet, Kiki Berlin and LuLu Lollipop and fashion shows courtesy of Delicious Boutique & Corseterie, Crash Bang Boom and Passional.
"Weâre older, yes. Wiser, not so sure,â says Delicious. "But weâre just as determined as always. I hope to launch Fast Cheap in Space within the next few years if technology still has not caught up with my ideas I will settle for Fast Cheap on Ice. Fast Cheap will move forward into our twilight years or as long as our livers hold out. There's a whole new generation who needs to experience the legend.â
