New York City Club Kids Swarm Vienna's Life Ball

The annual Life Ball, Europe's largest and most glamorous HIV/AIDS benefit, took place in Vienna this weekend, and per usual, nightlife icon Susanne Bartsch was there with a plane full of some of New York City's most fabulous nightlife creatures to celebrate.

All weekend, glamorous club fixtures like Amanda Lepore were on hand to pose and perform, even when departing the plane:

New York nightlife regulars are used to seeing over-the-top looks at the city's most happening parties, but the looks on the Life Ball red carpet were next-level outrageous.
