BECOMING MEINE GESCHICHTE

Becoming Meine Geschichte

Theorien der Gegenwartskunst zur Einführung

The end of 2018 right after the Christmas holiday and before Silvester the Vagimule doll was invited to a lovely dinner party at the Wrangel Kiez flat of Ulrich Ziemons of Forum Expanded and his gorgeous ginger haired lady love Anja. The food was exquisite and so was the company that included Azin Feizabadi the art filmmaker and his vivacious girlfriend Neda Saeedi, along with artist Nicolas Cilins and his beautiful young gaysian lover Dustin Duong who is a graduate student/male model from Australia.

She Who Must Be Obeyed received a sweet invite from Lucas Reiner the son of legendary comic film director and writer Carl Reiner who turns 97. Lucas is Reiner’s youngest son who use to be a punker back in the olde days in Los Ang but is now a visual artist. The eldest Reiner son is director/actor Rob Reiner who played Meathead in the TV series All in the Family in the 1970s and directed the hit film When Harry Met Sally.

Lucas Reiner has a new painting exhibition that just opened January 18 to February 23 at Galerie Nordenhake in Berlin. Check it out!

Ms. D was interviewed over the phone by ARTnews Magazine’s Maxim Duron for a panel discussion with Jonathan Weinberg co-curator of Art After Stonewall Exhibition, and the prolific art legends that are Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt and Michela Griffo. The klatch was progressing quite nicely but Ms. Davis had to drop out 30 minutes into it as she had to rehearse for the Original Sin concert installation for the Munchner Kammerspiele.

It was Lady Davis’ first time in Bavaria and she was quite impressed by the food of the city. Our tiny woman of mystery loves to eat.

The Kammerspeile cantina has the best chef in Christendom. Our divina was housed at the Relexa Hotel in a gargantuan suite that featured an amazing comp breakfast.

Ms. Davis didn’t see Mattias Lienthal the Kammerspeile’s attendant who use to run Hebbel am Ufer but got to hang out with Katrin Dodd the beauty of HAU who works with Mattias at Kammerspeile, Christoph Gurk who heads the music program and that philosopher king-queen the ravishing Juliane Rebentisch. Also reconnected with dear Evelyn Rüsseler the artist/filmmaker who gave Ms. D a copy of her latest special edition art book HybridTiere. Evie treated Ms. D to dinner and champagne and enjoyed a joyous reunion with the starina. With Evie was Jelena Kuljić, the hot Serbian jazz singer, from Berlin who is a member of the Kammerspeile ensemble. Looking very handsome was the youthful Ersan Mondtag (stage director and former Vegard Venga/Ida Muhler assistant) Goethe Institute VIP´s, plus Jasmina Tumbas (Yugoslavian scholar supreme) Albrecht Sachsse the brother of CHEAP´s Susanne Sachsse with his two kids and their friends, royal sighting in the form of Prinz Albert von Thurn und Taxis with Jake Hooker the grandson of Judy Garland with the sparkling famous hair colorist to the stars.  Jake`s mother is Judy`s daughter singer/actress Lorna Luft. Also spotted was Anne Schulz, luscious Pola Sieverding with her lovesexy class of super smart art students, Susanne Sachsse´s cousin whose mother was featured in some of the Original Sin super 8 footage from the GDR, Katharina Bischoff the OS production coordinators sister came for the third time and was moved to tears, and Miss Lillian (Richard Gabriel’s pretty gal pal).

Healthcare Updata:

Vaginal Davis had to wear a blood pressure machine from her cardiologist for 18 hours. The contraption made her look like I a suicide bomber. Thank goodness the weather is so cold now that she was all layered up or a policeman or concerned citizen would have surely reported her to the authorities.

Ms. V. Davis loves listening to NPR Berlin which recently got re-christened KCRW Berlin. The rebranding has brought the station a few more local Berlin items of interest, but the bad side is that after 9pm the station plays that horrible KCRW style music. Ms. D would rather hear more music in the lines of Hot Jazz Saturday Nite then Chris Douridas like faire. The music section goes from 9pm to 6am so it is easy to avoid. Recently the diva was listening to the radio and heard her former LA Weekly colleague Howard Bloom. Bloom now covers the education beat for the LA Times. Ms. Davis adores Bloom and his wry wit that encompasses a little sugar in his tank.

She also heard on the radio an interview with Tyler Brûlé. The Canuck Mr. Brûlé created Wallpaper Magazine and Monocle Media which encompasses retail and publishing. Tyler also heads a design house called Winkreative. Ms. Davis met Tyler back in the late 80s in LA during the heyday of her zine period. Tyler was a young beauty pie then who resembled Montgomery Cliff in his youthful prime with a little Cora Pearl on the side.  If my memory serves me correctly at that time Tyler had an older wealthy billionaire boyfriend.

Also heard on the radio a conversation about the boring Academy Award Oscar presentation.  The Ms. Davis prickly ears got hairy when the name of Morgan Neville was mentioned.  Morgan is the patrician super WASPY and beautiful documentary film director of the Mr. Rogers docu Will You Be My Neighbor that was snubbed at the Oscars this year.  Morgan already won an Oscar for his music doc Twenty Feet From Stardom.  Morgan is married to Nettie Acre of the alt/country folk group The Acres who use to perform regularly at my Club Sucker at the Garage and Bricktops at the Parlourclub as well as Plantinum Oasis.  Morgan at that time went by the name of Morgan Acre.  I only recently found out that he was a filmmaker.  He is extremely handsome and gives out big dick realness but in a humble soft spoken manner.
