Photo: Skerrit Bwoy Lights Up The Bronx
- story THE FADER
In our current issue, we ran a profile of Antigua-born, NYC-residing Skerrit Bwoy, a dancer/DJ/party-starting madman whose Domestic Violence style (funnier than it sounds) of whine acrobatics was probably the best thing we’d ever seen on YouTube when we first laid eyes on it. Skerrit invited The FADER’s John Francis Peters to come with him to the Ebony Lounge in the Bronx, his hometurf, to photograph a regular night in Skerrit’s world. Check after the jump for the slideshow.

- story THE FADER
Every night in Austin, while the FADER staff counted sheep and empty Sparks cans, our intrepid photographer John Francis Peters would hit the streets, documenting the world outside the walls of the FADER Fort. And then we’d see him at breakfast and he’d be all like “I’m tired,” and we’d be like “Get to work, sissy.” These are his photos from the hours we never knew he had in him.

Our photographers are getting so many great shots at the Levi’s®/FADER Fort that we decided to give them their own slideshows.

Day 1 at the Levi’s®/FADER Fort went off without a hitch and people, god bless ‘em, were partying pretty hard for a Wednesday. Extra thanks to Bass Ale, Southern Comfort and Sparks (wheee!!!) for providing beverages while Ray-Ban outfitted everyone with Wayfarers.
