A BUNCH OF CRAP I LOVE

Last night I went to the Theater Offensive's big fundraiser called ClimACTS Under a Big Top, which was a circus themed performance/auction/drunken mess. It was a huge gay party to raise money for this Boston community theater's youth and performance operation. Its a big deal around these parts. Street theater and lgbtq youth outreach. It was fun! I went to volunteer at the front door which basically translates to I went to go stand around looking cute and/or aloof, pretending I knew what was going on, counting down the minutes until I could hit open bar, which I did frequently. Just kidding, D'hana I behaved! JK, no I didn't.

Anyway, the highlight was tricking with these couple-a loose womyn, Lisette and Suhayl:

mega babe Lisette, who hand-crafted these exquisite tiger tits. Worth a million dollars.

and mega babe Suhayl.

Also, I want to talk about this:

I posted the other day about how good Kick Ass the movie is, which I meant, totally unknown to me at the time that star of Kick Ass, 19-year-old Aaron Johnson, is newly engaged to 43-year-old British Art Star Sam Taylor-Wood. This blows my mind. This is the pleasure of celebrity gossip.

Every now and then in the far-off cultural sphere of celebrated personalities, people who are
cool of their own volition find each other, connect romantically, and peons' minds are blown to consider how non-banal popular culture can be and how absolutely undreary the world is. Its like the violence of tabloid media finally makes good on its perverted promise to deliver a scrap of hope for the sensual world. Its like a fairytale involving the Queen. Someone will yell about a tragedy involving class, gender or some other inequity and I will point to this and respond "yes, but herein lies some magical secret of love and inconsequence that proves to me that good exists." This is as deliriously misled as I can be thinking about a new picture, this one above, formed from a union of two perfect picture makers (both merchants in the picture-making trade). Essentially, every picture advertises, and I like to be surprised by the unexpected pitch for stylish unconventionality and public nonconformity.

To comment further, imagine Johnson wooing her. Or the other way around. Or perhaps it was a mutual falling in love situation. Regardless, Taylor-Wood is pregnant, and already has teenage children by a previous marriage. To me, this is magic and love is real, and also freedom is aesthetic.

KICK ASS

Friday night we went out to hear Brian spin with Max Pearl aka Kat Fyte. It was cute. A lot of everything. Marissa and Abby came in and Marissa destroyed everybody with her looks and moves. She reduced a group of suited young professionals to howling morons clamoring, sweaty, and struggling to stay standing. Failing to be cool. Shmucks revealed to be true shmucks. Its what you call sexual prowess and good aim.

In other news, last night I saw Kick Ass with Brian, Jamie, Anna, and it rules. Its so fun. I'd call it post- post- post- like, 10th wave feminist. Is it? Who cares. The gay jokes are funny and resist pandering! The villain is an art collector with tastes for Marc Quinn, Damian Hirst and Ed Ruscha! I love fine art product placement! Chloe Moretz as Hit Girl is so good at saying "cunt" and "motherfucker" like she means it, lethally. Watching her kill a roomful of drug dealers or a dozen armed mobsters sounds a little rote, right? Actually, its totally thrilling. It makes me want to rent Leon: The Professional, Natalie Portman's debut as the 12-year-old killer.

Moving on...

KEVJN KELLY TIME

Hello followers. Hello party believers. Last night Ellen picked me up in a ridiculous Nissan Cube (not kidding) and took me down to Hartford, our spiritual home. We went because our baby brother Kevjn Kelly had his thesis project on display at the Art School. He makes a lot of videos and short movies, and for this installation called Known Unknowns, he had a giant dark room with four wall-sized video projections. All of his friends star in the movies, naturally, and then all of his friends attended wearing Kevjn's project logo emblazoned on snazzy navy blue sweatshirts: OPa or: Objet Petit a. Its about seeing and believing, branding, Lacan, religious/political doxa, and Kevjn's forceful interrogation of how we're going to deal with that whole mess.

It was good that I went. I love Kevjn and I'm glad I could support him for this, and anyway it feels good that school is finally over for the people I love and went through it with. It feels a little like we're all finally growing out of that place and we should all keep working and we're all gonna do it together, separately. It came up in conversation, and it bears repeating, but not one of us is really cut out for conventional work, and we're no good at holding down jobs. Whatever. The race is on to see who can carve out a profitable art career first and then lift the others up out of the inevitable mindless day-gigs we're forced to resort to. Its a happy contest among friends that ought to keep us poor but not miserable.

MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE PIT:

Photobucket

I've actually gotten a lot of work done this year so far. This lousy picture doesn't do any justice, and there's much more not pictured here. It does me good to pile it all up in the same room and gaze at it, to consider the fruits of my labor, to bask in its collective, interconnected message.

TOTAL TITS

Yesterday, everyone was being totally beautiful. Don't get me started. No, let's get started. After work, I had a few cocktails at the Beehive with beautydude Moises and his girl Dymaris. Moises keeps retail real, which I appreciate daily. There we talked about insurrection, getting paid, and lifestyle branding literally as a way of life. Be warned, "lifestyle" is a word/concept I fully intend on hunting down and murdering when I one day understand its origin and stealthy cunning to influence real lives.

Yikes, anyway:

Later, obviously, I went to Zuzu to hear Brian spin and make hundreds of attractive queers incredibly sweaty and happy.
