Jackie 60 was a nightclub hosting weekly parties from 1990 to 1999 in New York's Meatpacking District. It was founded by DJ Johnny Dynell, writer Chi Chi Valenti, fashion designer Kitty Boots and dancer/choreographer Richard Move, who were later (ca. 1995) joined by Brian Butterick AKA Hattie Hathaway. It served gay, fetish-dressed, straight, transvestite and poetic clubgoers for a decade.
