Cocaine was probably the mildest drug they took that evening.

Why does everyone of them look like a wax figure?

I'm pretty sure the other woman is Valerie Perrine. She played Eve Tessmacher in the first Superman movie.

It says colorized. I'm thinking this was a black and white newspaper photo and the colorization makes it look artificial.

The Village People weren't even put together until 1977, so I doubt this is 1976 unless the Leather Guy owned a TARDIS.

It is Valerie Perrine. She was also in the Village People’s movie. ("Can’t Stop The Music"?)

Bruce digs this whole celebrity I can be anybody thing. Picked up some pointers from MJ, and body changing tips from Jane.

If you told me every person in this photo was in gender swapped drag, I'd believe you without question.

It's from 1980.

I lived through the seventies and forgot that they had seven members. I assumed they could only spell four letter words. I had to look it up in their wikipedia article which also turns out to have this awesome bit:
With record sales soaring, Morali and Willis saw the need to create a permanent group. They took out an ad in a theatre trade paper which read: "Macho Types Wanted: Must Dance And Have A Moustache."

Yep. Probably some promotion for Can’t Stop The Music.

Indian dude by far the most lit in the picture

Bruce also starred in that movie. This pic must have been in relation to the film.

Thanks - I stared at the pic for awhile, knowing I recognized the blonde on the left, but couldn’t place her

Thank you! I knew who everybody else was but her. I recognized her, but it was driving me nuts trying to remember who she was and where I had seen her.

Because the Village People's image was intentionally crafted to be common gay masculine archetypes that were very well known to gays (e.g., leather sex pigs like Mr. Slave), but it completely went over the public's head who saw them as just traditional masculine iconography.

I think because they actually are wax figures.
oldschoolthepodcast t1_ivv7jo0 wrote
Pretty sure they are.
Background-Role7111 t1_ivvrjwz wrote
I think it’s drugs, it’s a colorized photo from studio 54
oldschoolthepodcast t1_ivvuu58 wrote
Yeah, looking at it again, it looks like some people appear "waxy" but others don't. Just bad colorization I guess.
