bustier

Robin's bustiers are almost as popular as her crochetted bikini used on the cable show. The bustiers were made for Robin along with matching belts and boot straps by Michael Morrison of Beverly Hills California.

The well known crochetted bikini was replaced by a more outlandish costume when Robin served as a judge at the 1990 Miss Fire Island (drag) contest.

This is a Valentine promotion photo shot on the set of the Robin Byrd Show showing that Robin is a great sucker for lollipops.

Here's an early shot of Robin on the set of her show. You may recognize the pose as the source for a line drawing that has been used in her advertising as well as her business stationery.

Long-standing Byrdwatchers will remember that one of Robin's shows back in the 80's was all about fitness - including weight training and tips on nutrition. It was called "Modern Woman." She could be seen regularly at a local gym where many of her future muscle-bound male guests trained too.

One of Robin's first celebrity guests on her live show was Sandra Bernhard. Here they mug for the camera after completing a show.

World-famous photographer Richard Avedon created over thirty portraits of powerful and famous New Yorkers for The New Yorker magazine's Special New York Issue in February of 1999. Personalities like philanthropist Brook Astor, architect Philip Johnson, columnist Liz Smith and jazz musician Ornette Coleman were some of Avedon's subjects. And Robin Byrd had a full-page photo with Times Square in the background and her standing on a pedestal marked "Byrd Square." Look below in "Robin's News Clippings" to see what other famous New Yorker was on the facing page to Robin's photo.

Robin was one of the subjects in a famous series of celebrity portraits called "Hidden Identities" created by photographer Marcus Leatherdale. The title of the series was based on the fact that the subjects hid their faces in some way. "Hidden Identities" was one of the founding monthly features in magazine called "Details" of the 1980's. Also in this series were Jodie Foster, Peter Allen and Keith Haring.

Robin hosted several events during Gay Pride Week 2003 in New York. One was a frank discussion titled "Sex in the City" that featured a panel of academics, activists and physicians who explored the meaning LGBT sexual culture and health in New York today. This photo was used to promote the event. It was photographed in Central Park by Aron Norman.

Fire Island residents and visitors will recognize this as the summer Robin. Painter Sal Monetti captured a relaxed Robin and entitled this portrait "Mother Nature's Love Child - 2001." It's oil on canvas and has been shown in several exhibitions around New York City.
