Columnist / Performer /Musician – Monti Rock III

MONTI ROCK III AKA DISCO TEX AND THE SEX-O-LETTES is iconic, legendary, unpredictable, an enigma, undefinable, and a legend in his own mind. The media is having a field day rediscovering Monti – See the Vanity Fair issues for December 2009 and February 2010. Vanity Fair refers to Mr. Rock as one of the architects of the 1960s; a little known fact is that Monti was THE hairstylist, and was the creator of the blunt cut and asymmetrical style, that has remained in vogue for all of these years. His hair styles appeared on the greatest models and magazine covers of the 1960s.

His television appearances from that era was topped by his multitude of appearances on the Johnny Carson Show (a total of 84 times!!!!) and you would never forget his appearance in the cult classic film, “Saturday Night Fever.”

From Monti, “What should a columnist do when in demand and he’s the man?! On Sunday,March 4, I was pleased to host and greet 150 guests for a special VIP opening of La Cage at The Riviera. This is a show with the longest running experience in Vegas of female impersonators. Jimmy Emerson and the new cast along with the producer Norbert Aleman performed brilliantly for the special guests. I hosted, I sang and was simply divine, my darlings. I want to thank the media, my special guests and all of you who attended the performance. My special thanks goes to Victoria’s Pub for the outstanding hors d’oeuvres and open bar along with my special thanks as well to Liz and the girls at Great Buns Bakery for the cakes and to David Filter for all the flowers from The English Garden Florist It was great celebration and I will be doing more with The Riviera and La Cage in the future. It was almost heaven.”
