History

Bailey and Barbato co-founded World of Wonder after meeting in NYU's graduate film program in the mid 1980s, where they initially formed a disco pop rock duo called the Fabulous Pop Tarts under their record label, World of Wonder (with the name coming from a British comic book Bailey used to get as a child). Bailey and Barbato began performing regularly at

, RuPaul, Martyn Phillips, and Filthy the Dog. World of Wonder initially acted as a management vehicle for the Fabulous Pop Tarts, organising projects in television production and licensing, documentary filmmaking, and the career expansion of their friends and fellow artists, particularly RuPaul, whom they met in Atlanta in the 1980s and have continued to work with. They produced RuPaul's first album, "RuPaul is StarBooty", in 1986, and became his manager shortly after launching World of Wonder in 1991. They have since produced all of his television shows, his DragCon bi-coastal conventions and music productions, and have earned multiple Emmy Awards. World of Wonder shares its name with one of its early television documentaries, ''Died on the 4th of July: Nelson Sullivan's World of Wonder''.
Nelson Sullivan John Nelson Sullivan (March 15, 1948 – July 4, 1989) was an American videographer who chronicled life in Downtown Manhattan’s arts and club scene from 1983 until his death. His hundreds of videos documented daily life in the city, wild nigh ...
was a central figure in the downtown New York City art and club scene of the 1980s, obsessively videotaping everyone and everything he saw before dying of a heart attack on July 4, 1989. Sullivan left behind over 1200 hours of video footage taken over the last decade of his life. From this archive, World of Wonder created a one-hour documentary portrait of Sullivan, which aired on UK's

, and was also included on the DVD release of '' Party Monster: The Shockumentary''. Based, in part, on this documentary, Sullivan continued to gain posthumous respect as a noted historian, with his videos gaining a younger and wider viewership following their upload to YouTube. The early focus on Sullivan formed the basis of the company's ongoing interest in documentary filmmaking. In 2014, Bailey and Barbato were honored with the IDA Pioneer Award, "celebrating exceptional achievement, leadership, and vision in the nonfiction and documentary community".
