NUDES
I'm starting a project and I'm looking for models who would be willing to pose nude. You don't have to show your face at all - you can be completely anonymous. It's a really interesting concept, I promise. If you're interested or know of someone who is interested get in touch and we can discuss it. I'd pay you with a print.

C'EST L'HALLOWEEN!


It's been a busy week! Here are some photos from my Saturday night. I dressed up as "Friend Record" from SIZE SMALL ISLAND. Size Small was an obscure Canadian kids show. Every once in a while they would cut to a terrifying giant record with black tights banging wooden spoons in time with the music in the woods. I don't know if I got the costume exactly right cause there are no images on the web of the actual character (except for one of a drunk guy with a floppy costume on YouTube), so I had to build the costume from memory.

Not many people got the reference, but for those that did I think it opened up a flood of bad memories.

The above photo is me at Hotnuts with Mary Messhausen and PRODUZENTIN.

Here are some more photos that Jessica and LAURA took from the cab they were in while I walked cause my costume wouldn't fit:

WHO NEEDS A MAN WHEN YOU'VE GOT CAKE?


Tonight I got so excited when I remembered there was cake in the fridge that I tripped over a table and fell on my face when I ran to the kitchen to get it. I feel like Cathy.

FASSBINDER KILLS THE SOUL


I finally watched THE BITTER TEARS OF PETRA VON KANT. Since I feel like I've been a total Von Cunt lately (actually for the past few years) I wasn't surprised at seeing myself in Petra, and I wasn't as torn apart by this as I was by Ingmar Bergman's AUTUMN SONATA. To this day I'm a little frightened of watching more Bergman because Autumn Sonata sent me into such a depression.

I was also reminded of WATER DROPS ON BURNING ROCKS, which is an adaptation of a Fassbinder play. All three of these movies are character based and take place in a single setting, like stage-plays often do.

Now it's back to work...but FEAR EATS THE SOUL sits on the table over there...taunting me..."You wanna play dirty?"

Oh and I also cried during the season premiere of Ugly Betty...sooooooooooo...

TENDRILS? TENTACLES?


I've now had the pleasure of working with artist JEREMY BAILEY on a couple of small projects and can't believe I haven't blogged about him before.

I first saw his work on the 640 480 VIDEO COLLECTIVE WEBSITE and sent his Video Valentine to many an acquaintance, but none a lover. Aw. 640 480 also had a controversial/esoteric exhibition at Nuit Blanche this year at Gallery TPW.

Please watch his amazing video work on HIS WEBSITE or on HIS YOUTUBE PAGE.

Jeremy gets hate mail for his videos (I find that so crazy). He also explained to me that tendrils are for flora and tentacles are for fauna.

CELL PHONE COINCE


Did you know that SUICIDE and QUICHED are spelled using the same numbers on a cell phone. You'd be better off not knowing which one I was trying to spell.

This is a photo I found when I goooooooooooooooooooooooogled "QUICHE SUICIDE". "QUICHED SUICIDE" with a "d" at the end of "quiche" yielded no results.

That photo's real. I seen them on Oprah. It all comes back to Opie. Oh and the Iraq War mutilating your high school sweetheart. It all comes back to that.

HELLE MARDAHL




HELLE MARDAHL via ENCHANT AND DOOM.

Her prints remind me of whatshisface who draws the black-and-white cartoons where the only differentiation between foreground/background subject/object negative/positive space is the difference in the patterns that he draws inside them - anyone know who I'm talking about? I want to say Greg something...fuck...I forget...

BFL


The BAT FOR LASHES show on Friday went way beyond my expectations - especially since tickets were $10 and it was at the El Mocambo.

If you have the album remember to turn up the bass when listening - they played with huge bass and it was so great and I hadn't thought of listening that way. It made the much dancier and gave it energy. That girl can sing and all the musicians were amazing.
