Yves Klein sucks


Richard Burbridge

So, tomorrow evening I am body-painting a live model at Real Art Ways for Pink Cocktail Hour, the monthly secret power-gay networking event. They're having me do this to build excitement for the Odd Ball which is on April 4th, which will be a whole night of nude models wearing body paint + art fans drinking heavily. If you're a young gay man looking for a sugardaddy, you should totally come tomorrow! I think its at 4:30. I'm hardpressed to find anyone who actually does body painting right. The obvious historical precedent is Yves Klein, and I think he is fucking lame. Of course I'm probably wrong, Klein is probably really awesome cutting edge hip modernist blah blah blah, but I think some French creep dragging a naked woman across a blank canvas is repulsive and sexist, and I wish he would have jerked off at home in private like everybody else. whatevz.





Casey Spooner seems so much cooler, even if his career didn't exactly pan out the way everyone wanted it to.
