My So Called Wyeth
I've never been a big fan of performance art or contemporary interpretive dance. Something silly about shooting your self in the hand or licking jelly off a '68 Volkswagen bug that just never brushed me as "serious" or important. I am always willing to be proven wrong, this instance probably isn't one of them.
While reading this week's Flavorpill, I came upon this upcoming event:
"Christina Olson: American Model
Andrew Wyeth's iconic painting Christina's World depicts Christina Olson, a young woman paralyzed from the waist down, crawling through a field. Choreographer Tamar Rogoff was inspired not only by the 1948 artwork, but also by Christina's will — she did house chores and even traversed a gravel road to visit friends without a wheelchair. In this piece, created for dancer-turned-actor Claire Danes, Rogoff explores the association between spirit and physicality through her body-centric methodology. Danes dances in front of a video of herself crawling down an East Village street as an eerie homage to Olson, or an attempt to prove her earnestness in returning to her dance roots. (SP)"
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, yeeeaaaaaaaaah. Now, watching starlets crawl down an "East Village" street, hilarious. But deep down in my serious "don't touch me there" place, my little voice says Christina Olson is pissed and would have preferred not to have polio and drag her ass down the gravel road to play bridge than become the subject of "body-centric methodology". I'm sure Claire hit about fifty potholes on the way to artistic self expression.

Is the party over? It's only just begun.
Is Clublife blogger at the end of his rope? I found his latest entry slightly inspirational, if not sad, altogether I am very sympathetic. At least he has his book deal to fall on, can't say the same for myself.
In other news, the Federletus has arrived and Gillette is coming out with a five blade razor. Hope abounds.
Congrats to Jess for her successful campaign to roll Stringer into the Manhattan Borough President's chair. I tip my bonnet to you, and ask you to put some money in it. She also just turned 24. She has accomplished more in 24 years than I have. That's it, I give up. And give me back my damn bonnet.

You may kiss the sass
Submitted for your approval, one of the best written blogs (and my new personal fav) is Veiled Conceit. Richly vicious, intelligent, brutal, unforgiving, all those things you love about killer whales, but in blog form.
Indulge your smug sense of satisfaction towards these self obsessed turds, I mean, happy couples. How this writer completes entries without using the words "cunt" or "asshat" is worth a pulitzer consideration in my book.
