Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, both 47 (with a few members of their posse)

WHO THEY ARE: Camp provocateurs fetishizing the fringe on screens both big and small.

WHY THEY'RE RADICAL: Along with their cohorts at their Warholian factory, World of Wonder, the twosome (bottom row, far left and far right) bear responsibility for a slew of stupid-smart projects—from documentaries (The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Inside Deep Throat) and features (Party Monster) to reality shows (What Perez Sez) and an inventive website—that manage to be at once provocative, populist, and very gay. The pair, who were once a couple, have been stirring things up since the '80s, when they performed as musical act the Pop Tarts. "We are doing the exact same thing we always did," says Barbato. "We were totally obsessed with public access and drag queens back then. We're still obsessed with both things."

WHERE YOU'LL SEE THEM NEXT: On the red carpet at the premiere of their HBO documentary on Heidi Fleiss. On the haters: "Eight out of 10 things we do, there is somebody bitching about it. It's like a constant buzz, like the sound of the 101 in the distance."
