Guh, I love this pic.  Her dress, the masquerade masks, the invisible dude, the color scheme, all so awesome.

Guh, I love her style.  And the shoe hanging of her foot is a cute touch.

Oh yeah, just chilling in the middle of the ocean with my giant falcon and my cigar-smoking disembodied head thing.  Business as usual.

Time for some gen art spam, starting with Mattahan’s great fantasy/surreal art.

The politics of selling out aside, I am deeply troubled with how we read Lady Gaga as a brilliant postmodern pop artist and Nicki as little more than a fake who plays dress up for cash.

Hey hey hey, who the hell are these assholes calling Nicki Minaj a “fake who plays dress up for cash”?  I love Nicki Minaj, and “Super Bass” is awesome.  And as someone who also likes Gaga, I’m annoyed to hear that people find it necessary to praise one while bashing the other.

Over the course of 45 years, Culver City, California librarian Mayme Agnew Clayton (August 4, 1923 – October 13, 2006) collected more than 30,000 rare and out-of-print books. She used her own resources and she worked alone. The collection is considered one of the most important for African-American materials and consists of 3.5 million items on the topic of African-American culture. It is the largest privately-held collection of African American historical materials in the world.

Ms. Clayton, you might be my new hero.

So important, this one.  It’s amazing to see all the various choreographers and artists whose work was influenced by hers.
