and west of nobody [06 Jan 2010|11:00pm] oh_snap In the New Year, I don't resolve. I make love on the West Coast, to California for the first time. Sleep across from John Steinbeck &smoke fake cigarettes over Cannery Row. I blame the man on the ghost tour in San Francisco but hey-- he blamed me first. I stop writing because I am in cars, constantly going south on 101 or Highway 1 and the curves keeping on going. The men I take to bed take four minute showers but I swear I am in there for hours. I am not washing my hair but just a decade. What I can remember of it. All dramatic sounding like that. Slipping in slips but not my resolution-- by accident. Believing in curses and forgetting to ask psychics for their real last names.   I start dreaming in Italian again but it's all messed up. Some of it comes in Spanish and in some dreams we know French. Alex is making me watch East of Eden the movie and I am agreeing like I am helpless and not some catholic sinner betrayer of all saints because the location is the same. Location baby, location. comment

merry christmas [06 Jan 2010|11:49pm] katiecoleslaw http://katiecoleslaw.blogspot.com/2010/01/merry-christmas.html While living in Brooklyn three years ago, on one of the hottest days of the year, Ferry and I stumbled across an abandoned crate outside a house. We looked inside and found antique Christmas tree decorations. A quick wash and 3,400 miles later they found themselves hanging on a tree in Notting Hill - A Christmas first - I actually made something. Behold, my very own fireplace creation (I cut down holly and fern - not to be confused with the tv presenters - and wired them together. I am soooo creative) - I went to about a hundred Christmas parties in the space of a few days. It was like being a force-fed turkey. Only joking! comment

Побежалость [06 Jan 2010|07:22pm] alisabloh * Двор зимними вечерами совсем лесной, а во сне это ощущение перенеслось на позднемартовскую весну. Радужные проталины, бензиновые лужи, невидимые красящие воздух призмы, смазанные пляшущие ветви и камни. К моменту, когда я его пересекла уже было лето, я села у подъезда на теплый асфальт, и дальше по Белоснежке: нищие, дети, животные, дурацкие птички окружили меня. Сидячий шумный парад, мы будто плыли на корабле, раскачиваясь волной, у нас были иконы с розововолосыми богинями и солнечный посох. Так вот, я хотела подводить какие-то итоги, не жизни, но дополнений. И если о фильмах - самые счастливые ассоциации за прошлый год с prime cut и зеркало. Помню, какой свет был, – наверняка утро и лето. * (1) comment

Красен Глаз & the gruppies [06 Jan 2010|12:31pm] lifka [ music | ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead - Luna Park ] Сразу после волшебного концерта "Красен Глаз" 2-го января, в моей ванной. Концерт был настолько же крутой, насколько его не было как такового. Но Морэ&Рэльсы после этого были уже не актуальны :) pic by Zae (11) comment

new years? part 2 [06 Jan 2010|01:48am] cartet I feel like it's traditional for me to attempt to try and fix myself by eliminating all negativity, attempting to become more productive and changing something about myself at the start of the New Year. But I guess that's what every one does or says they'll do and it never works out. This year, I decided five minutes ago, that I will change. comment

New Year? [05 Jan 2010|10:21pm] cartet Things that I'd like to do this year: 1) Transfer. 2) Rearrange my room and closet (again). 3) Get a job. 4) Stop being mean. 5) Grow my hair. I suppose I'll pick number 4 to be my New Year's resolution, preferably towards people I care about. One thing I love right now is: Law & Order SUV and House marathons. Last year I decided to do that 365 photo project, but I stopped. I'm going to do that again this year. Although I can't decide when I'll start. comment

Lady Gaga, the 'grotesque' and privilege [05 Jan 2010|10:24pm] blackcigarette [thisglasnost] Hope this isn't TL;DR! I came across a really interesting post on Tumblr today and thought i would share/put its subject matter up for discussion. The post talks about a recent interview with Lady Gaga in the LA Times. Here's a couple of extracts from the story: Her new songs address serious themes like women's shame about their bodies and the need for open communication in relationships; her often physically distorting costumes show that the pursuit of the feminine ideal is far from natural. Her commitment to confront the changing notion of what's "natural" puts Gaga on the same road traveled by artists she admires, such as the photographer Cindy Sherman. Her frank talk about how female artists aren't expected to write their own songs or about how young women are afraid to ask for what they need from their sexual partners inches her toward a new articulation of feminism. ..."The great thing about Gaga is she always want to push for the most extreme option," Card said. "She's brave enough to let herself be a canvas for a designer to go and really express themselves. Nothing is off limits! With Rihanna and Beyoncé there is an end result of desirability and unattainable sexiness, whereas Gaga is a really interesting bridge between the desirable and the grotesque. She's not at all worried about looking ridiculous or hideous; actually, I think she thrives off it." And here's a couple of extracts from the brilliant post on Tumblr: i feel like there are limits, maybe, to how “hideous” an extremely skinny blonde white girl can be considered...to put it another way: picture a fat woman, or a black woman, or a Latina woman, or a fat black Latina woman, doing ANYTHING that lady gaga has ever done, and tell me people would still be talking about her as some kind of subversive artiste...tell me 95% of the commentary about her outside maybe the feminist blogosphere wouldn’t be ridicule or disgust. ...or to put it another way: white skinny bodies are allowed to be art. you see this all the fucking time in the twee/hipster zones of the world/internet, soft-focus photos in sepia tones with size 2 AT MOST people standing in for melancholy, or wistfulness, or love, or whatever. you don’t see fat girls lying in a field of daisies wearing fishnets and reading haruki murakami next to a picnic spread under a parasol. because then the viewer, it’s assumed, would get distracted by their fatness. skinny bodies (& white bodies) are allowed to turn themselves into things because they are presumed to be blank slates. they’re neutral. fatness already symbolizes things in our culture - laziness, sloth, greed - so it’s not allowed to symbolize other things. or another way: lady gaga is allowed to play at being grotesque because it’s understood that she is making a choice to be grotesque; fat, non-white, or otherwise atypical bodies already belong to the realm of the grotesque. the choice is made for them. whether it’s as unfuckable (fat women, women with visible disabilities) or inherently sexualized (black and Latina women) or some weird combination of fuckable but not sexual (asian women) or just grotesque and unworthy (trans women). I think the critique on Tumblr brings up some really interesting and valid points with particular reference to the way we see things on the internet in terms of body types/ethnicities represented in the art and photography we post on our journals, or write about in our blogs, or favourite on Tumblr. So discuss if you wish: Lady Gaga and her image, representations of 'controversial' women in pop culture, white/thin bodies v everyone else. (276) comment

[05 Jan 2010|02:17pm] thehighstreet [superimpossible]   Ahhh, my new beauties from the TopShop Sale! educed from £150 to £45 I believe... They had no size 7s, but I took a risk and ordered the size 6 instead and they fitted perfectly. I like to think of them as Dominatrix Mountaineering Boots :) (11) comment

[04 Jan 2010|08:20pm] thehighstreet [samanthajanex] So....bumbags - opinions please? Are we ready to bring back bumbags? Louis Vuitton: Topshop: Urban Outfitters: I mean I guess they have their uses but seriously? I just still have the image of me wearing a bright pink one to death when I was 8 burned in my memory and I just don't think I can do it again! I always wonder if people would still wear them if Prada hadn't made a version, which Topshop can then copy - probably not...although I guess that can be said for a lot of fashion trends e.g. the cage skirt - don't get me started on that!
