New York One!



Hey my darlings. Things have been progressing quite lovely with the Magic Flute project. Hector Martinez, the infamous mariachi warrior auf Edendale via Lago de Plata has come to New Yorika to help me and provide the doll with backup singer energy and support. Also our incredible lighting designer Jackie Shemesh of Israel via London is here to make everyone beautiful and of course our great 80 WSE staff of collaborateurs including juicy Jess Garcia, macho man Ben, lothario Hugh and female studkin Sawyer Mitchell and so many others including Patricio, Damien Davis, Jessie Bransford, and Daniel of the Moon.

I am really missing Berlin, but it was great to experience Thanksgiving dinner provided by the first family of New York art The Bergers-- the amazing parents of Jonathan Berger whose Columbia University adjacent compound off of Riverside Drive was warm and welcoming. Fearless leader of CHEAP Susanne Sachsse got to experience Turkey day for the first time. I hadn’t had a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving Macy’s with all the trimmings in over ten years. Hector and I wound up walking all the way from 103rd to 14th Street to get rid of our baby bumps.

Come on Daughter Save Me



Can’t believe the large amount of people who came out to my solo visual art exhibition at Invisible-Exports Gallery. I put the finishing touches of nail polish on the 16 frieze sculpture panels early morning November 20th. The exhibit also features 10 special edition acetate records with a recorded manifesto text and abstract make-up painting on Vaginal Davis stationary. Some collectors even bought some of the sculptures and the records at the opening. Prices aren’t inflated so run down to the gallery and get your New York bargain.

I asked my gallerists the lovely Risa Needleman and handsome Benjamin Tischer to give me the hoedown on who was there as I stayed in the gallery office in a corner holding court. Here is the celebutant guest list: The sexy Gala Tischer, craft artisan Dean Holdiman, Michel Auder of the Zanzibar Film movement who is directing the movie version of our Magic Flute production, Lia Gangitano of Participant Inc. and juicy lover T, Doug McClemont of the mega Marlborough Gallery who use to be the mortician to the stars with his lovesexysweet young muscular well endowed Nubian lover,the incredibly stylish Art Forum writer extroidinaire Alex Jovanovich, the mega hunky artiste Jeff Ono with his beautiful baby boy, Egypts prettiest choreographer Adham Hafez the artistic director of the HaRaKa Dance Development and Research Company with his fab posse of Cindy Sibilsky (the fierino redhead sculptress turned Broadway producer of the musical version of Xaviera Hollander’s 'Happy Hooker' whilst working closely on it with Ms. Hollander herself!!! Dr. Graeme Reid, the South African professor of masculinities, gender, and politics from Yale University, gorgeous Charlene Ava, who's a New York Egyptian singer, songwriter, filmmaker and performance artist, fashion scriblette Glenn Belverio with the Diane Pernet Fashion Blog with Andrew Russeth, that glamazon Bibbe Hanson and her young husband Sean Carrillo,art collector and Vaginal Davis archivist Tret Tierney the grandson of Golden era Hollywood star Gene Tierney, power attorney Norman von Holtzendorf my old pal from Choate prep school in Wallingford, Connecticut, Azo, poet and Francois Hardy doppelganger Katie Degentesh, performance and filmmaking auteur Marc Arthur and beau, tyro artist Delia Gonzalez, the insane Maynard Monrow, independent curator and man of desire Billy Miller of STH, Angela DiCarlo,Russian art shtar Slava Mogutin,Paul Gabrielli, Karen Heagle,Nao Bustamante who leaves her job teaching in Troy, New York for a fab position at USC with her new dean Erica Muhl, Brooklyn legendina and activist Viva Ruiz,my former Chicago Art Institute student Ektor!who is now going to graduate school at Columbia, David Getsy of the School of the Art Institute, youthquaking Max Steele,members of the rock band Disclosure, multi-media artist Paco Cao,Magic Flute design crew Jesse Bransford, Jonathan Berger, Damien Davis,Jess Garcia,Joshua Lubin-Levy, Izzy Cohan, Jacqueline Gallo and her precious step daughter, Hugh W. O’Rourke and Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu.

The after party was held at Bengala West on scenic West 10th Street in a spacious flat that housed Leonard Bernstein in the 1940s, Mark Twain, Emma Lazarus, Max Ernst and Marcel Duchamp who lived down the block to be near the Chess Club which is still there. The Womans House of Detention that housed Angela Davis when she was the FBI’s most wanted is also on this street. Of course I had to leave my own party early so that I could wake up early and be at the 80 WSE Gallery at 9am to prepare for the NY Choral Society and the Horkheimer Arquestra who would be coming in for their first big rehearsals. No rest for the exceedingly wicked.
