The delicate and dainty little Vagimule doll traveled to Köln, her first time leaving Berlin and performing in almost three years with Kollektiv CHEAP. The train ride was pretty smooth until a group of fugly aging schlager football hooligans came on the choo-choo with an arsenal of beer cans singing, swilling, dwinking and being rowdy with general cutting up at 10am in the morning. Tante Vag is immune compromised with late onset type one diabetes so she has to be really careful with a raging pandemic that is far from over. The elderly woman Lady D is also inflicted with asthma, and gicht(gout) which causes swelling in joints, knees and feet. Ms. Davis was popping ibuprofen like M&M`s but she was delighted to be with her art gang that included the divine fearless leader Susanne Sachsse, big dick film historian Dr. Herbert Marcuse Siegelstein, cheeky Muzlim Daniel Hendrickson, beauty expert Christian Fritzenwanker, juicy couture Richard Gabriel, manly lighting designer Martin Siemann, Major Ms. Gorgeous Pola Sieverding, with the supreme genius that is XIUXIU's Jamie Stewart & Angela Seo. New additions to the CHEAP fold the vivacious Chris Korte, enchantress Ligia Lewis, dynamic Ilyich, sweetie pies Mischa&Claudia on video, Aussie/Teutonic humpster Marc Duncan the sound engineer, and the gifted sensation that is the stunning Nele Ruckelhausen. Of course tying everything together is frequent CHEAP collaborator the first child of high art in New York City Jonathan Berger who designed not only the sets and production but the ill costumes that included sportiv mesh soccer kits with homemade sequinned applique, dayglo tube socks and stockings worn with meshugenah slides.

This presentation of Sleep Disorder was another version of the CHEAP Kollektiv concept of a worn-out concert. The invitation came in accord with the ten year anniversary of the Akademie Der Kunster Der Welt. We were housed in the wonderful Hotel Chelsea that has the most accomodating staff along with the scrumpteous food at Central Cafe. The performance took place at the unique and lovely venue Altes Pfandhouse. Special Thankx to Jan Krsyzons and his rock steady crew and I hope i haven´t forgotten anyone.



Jamie and Angela were on fire throughout performing in such a celestial manner with Angela creating soundscapes out of slippers with boundless energy and kinetic glamour. My favourite moment was when Miss Angela mounted Jamie and was plowing relentlessly his succulent bubble butt. XiuXiu fans and everyone in the house were riveted. There were so many fascinating moments and things to take note of including NYU Berlin´s Chris Korte´s death rock dance to the Sisters of Mercy and lecturina, Pola Sieverding`s live akshun photography and videography, Ilyich´s otherworldly innovations of poetry and sound sculpture, and the kickboxing sparring between Richard Gabriel and super athlete and Olympian Nele Ruckelhausen who is quite enigmatic and lovely. Everything came together and Köln presented the group with Indian Summer like weather.

The Vagimule doll had a lovely time meeting for breakfast her New York gallerist Ben Tischer of Invisible Exports/New Discretions Gallery and his amazing Goddess wife Gala Verdugo at the Markt Halle on Bergmann Strasse in the Mehringdamn Kiez. It was sunny and warmish as we sat alfresco and caught up for a few hours on every little thing with joy and frivolity. The couple are in town for Art Week.

The lady Ms. D pushed herself a little too much this week in trying to be more social attending the opening at Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi of the charming Ed Atkins and Steven Zultanski. The work is transporting with its CGI and foley soundscapes-very high tech and modern. I told Shari Frilot head programmer of the Sundance Film Festival´s New Frontier´s section that she had to check out the work of Ed Atkins but also that of Leila Hekmat which was being shown at Haus am Waldsee. Shari is in Europe I gather scouting for Sundance as she mentioned she was at the Berlin Biennale and was going to shuffle off to documenta as well. Seems like everyone was visiting Berlin as the weather shifted from Summer right into Winter.  I also was able to meet outside for cafe und kuchen with the very smart and darling young curator Sheldon Gooch of The Museum of Modern Art and Studio Museum of Harlem. 

Those famous scribes Hilton Als of the New Yorker Magazine and Guy Trebay of The New York Times were also in town checking out the scene. Was able to briefly attend scholar Nanna Heidenreich´s little sidewalk birthday celebration. Ms. Heidenreich is one of my favourite Berlin peeps, and looks younger each time I see her and that brilliant mind. My escort was Daniel Hendrickson, the Jewish Muzlim translator to the schtars of CHEAP Kollektiv.

Certainly what will be the most talked about exhibition of the season is Leila Hekmat`s Female Remedy on view at Haus am Waldsee in Dahlem until January 8, 2023. The manor house off the lake is converted into Hospital Hekmat a beguiling and ornately beautiful assylum of female transcendence. Accompanying the exhibition is a major Ms. Gorgeous zine catalogue and two evenings of sold out performance ritual in the form of Symptom Recital: Music for Wild Angels an original musical by the gifted Ms. Hekmat that should be conquering and refashioning Broadway. Yes Ms. Hekmat is the way, along with her collaborators the composers Roman Ole & Roman Lemberg who are the 21st centuries John Kander & Fred Ebb via Hugh Martin & Ralph Blane (Meet Me in St. Louis). Seeing the musical I felt the razzle dazzle synergies of Flora, the Red Menance, Pippin, Best Foot Forward, Sweet Charity and Elizabeth Swados Runaways. It´s a stylish hoot complete with Joan Rivers jokes in the same heightened vein as The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade. Bravo Bravo Bravo to the genius cast that includes a very Glenda Jackson like and robust Roman Ole as head nurse Rene, the enchanting Clara Dessau as Nurse Rita, magnificent Magdalena Mitterhofer as Nurse Randy and the delicious Cassie Augusta Jorgensen and Shade Theret as perenial patients. Sydney Guilaroff and the Westmores of Hollywood couldn´t have done a better job with hair and makeup as Kosuke Ikeuchi & Sabina Pinsone and Ms. Hekmat´s costumes aided with the fine tailoring of Elsa Leguevaques outshines that of the great Theoni V. Aldredge.

My old Los Angeles acquaintance "Click-Clack" Goblindude called me up from Reno to give me a report about the return of Burning Man, Burning Gas-o-meter. I´m sure you´re all familiar with the longstanding event in the California desert where those with disposable incomes can play Pig-Pen ala the Charles Schultz Peanuts character and get the answer to that eternal burning question, do drugs and sex count as spiritual? My good friend from ye olde Choate prep school days in Wallingford, Connecticut, Norbert van Hasselklopp says:

To get me to go to Burning Man they´d have to pay me more money than a Bitcoin bro on crystal meth can mint. And even then I might turn it down. It´s hard to think of anything less appealing short of a MAGA rally. Well as the French say, chacun à son goût!

Mr. Click-Clack who is one well endowed power top-a-saurus with a rack of warmed over death, size 15 feet, a saucy18 pack stomach and marble asstrovar was enjoying Californications with at least 7 boys a day on the Playa Vista.  Young men are always eager to chow down gallons of his man milk straight from the source. But in between all the ferocious sexxing he found time to make new friends. Goblindude can never remember names of people and doesn´t recognize anyone who is rich or famous which endeared him to film director Stephen Daldry (The Hours) who was part of the A-List film professionals Camp Down and Out in Beverly Hills. Nutty Click-Clack even relaying to me his story of meeting Daldry, who he called, "the director Samuel Doggenworth or something like that."

Mr. Daldry came to the event with his young, super humpy, gorgeous Asian/British male concubine. The Billy Elliot director wasn´t finding Burning Man very thrilling he was bored out of his gord until Click-Clack took him for a bike ride on the strand and introduced him to Voyeur 457 leaving the stalwart UK regisseur in what could only be called Bliss, Bliss, and more Bliss. 

Mr. Daldry came to my Vaginal Davis is Speaking From the Diaphragm talk show installation at PS 122 back in 2010 when I had his wife Lucy Sexton of Dancenoise as a guest.

The lady Ms. Davis is trying to be a little more social in her old age while protecting her health from Covid´s dreaded Omnicrom variant. Hearing the news that Burning Man was somewhat of a super spreader event with people coughing up third lungs. Click-Clack didn´t get sick as he has O positive blood making it impossible to get infected.




Lucky for our womanly woman that she and her gorgeous gallerist and escort Isabella Bortolozzi (both dressed in vestal virgin white) were ushered into a safe space with giant windows overflowing with fresh air in the annex of Borchard.   Earlier in the evening was the mega performance of the great Michele Lamy who is doing a lot of collaborations with young mover and shaker Matt Lambert. The rest of the gorgeous building was kept airtight being that some drugged out Soccer star had tried to off himself from the second floor window. The festivities were produced by lovesexy German/Persian Prinz Mumi Haiati of Reference Studios and rock steady delightfully angelic crew of gracious ravishing young juicies.  They really know how to treat us elderly ladies.  Of course Mumi´s right hand gal pal is non other than my old make-up artiste the tight pussied biatch Akira Knightly aka Gottheid, who never eats or sleeps only smoking expensive platinum tipped cigárettes surrounded by disco dollies and a coterie of bright young things happy to be anywhere. Evelyn Waugh`s Vile Bodies recreated in Berlin like its 1925.

That diva of divas La Lamy is aging in reverse. How is she able to get younger the older she gets? I´ve known her since 1979 and there is no one in all of Christendom more glamorous. Thats why the Julia Stoschek Collection must have Michele Lamy, she is the dream of life.

As we were leaving we chatted with Slava Mogutin who has relocated to Berlin for several months. Looking all Ibiza tanned giving big dick thickerous Slava told me some disturbing news that is so shocking that I can´t repeat it in this blogina. Kamchatka!

Treffen sie echte Golddigger

So thrilled to announce that one of my top all-time favourite bands the genius Magnetic Fields will be coming to Berlin for a concert at Lido on Friday-September 16, 2022. Being that I am immune compromised I´m not quite able to go to live shows inside a concert hall, but I urge those of you who are young and healthy to go see this enchanting group of musicians led by the supremely talented Stephin Merritt. The last time I saw them here in Berlin was at a church in Kreuzberg and it was a sublime encounter that will stay with me for a lifetime. I´ll never forget seeing The Magnetic Fields in Los Angeles at the El Ray Theater and running into Courtney Love of Hole who had brought the comedian Chris Rock with her to see the band. It was also a marvel to behold The Magnetic Fields at the famed Wilshire Ebell Theater on Wilshire Blvd in Hancock Park a perfect venue for their charms. Stephin Merritt and Claudia Gonson are the type of celebrities I fawn over. Ms. Gonson who not only sings in the band and plays many instruments also functions as the groups minister of information and manager. I have had a longstanding girl crush on the fetching Ms. Gonson but also have the severe hots for lanky and patrician cello, flute player Sam Davol and lovesexy hungthrob John Woo on guitar and banjo.


The Magnetic Fields


Am I the only one who thinks country crooner Vince Gil is a sizzle? Let me know your thoughts on that. Remember you can write letters to Vaginal Davis c/o her Berlin art representation Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi.

Die Antwort auf Hollywood

Back in the early aughts when I was still living in Los Angeles hosting, performing and DJaning at my performance space/speakeasy Bricktops at the Parlour Club in the Russian Quartier of Hollywood I got an amazing amount of national press within the period of two months. A big feature article in Paper Magazine, a spread in Vogue thanks to Rick Owens and two Sunday calendar profiles in the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times nicely written by the tall, handsome patrician journalista Guy Trebay. Not bad for a dusky woman from the wrong side of the tracks. After the press I got besieged with offers for things from Hollywood lunatics big and small. A lot of it was nonsense as these were the early days of reality television so a lot of these infidels basically wanted to just follow me around with a camera and see where the sparks landed. Of course I let them wine and dine me. I was so shameless having them take me lunches and dinners at the expensive Pacific Dining Car Restaurant in Downtown Los Angeles and I would eat one meal with them and get another to take with me. Of course I wasn´t interested in the genre of reality television, but they didn´t need to know that. 

One particular successful Hollywood producer whose name I won´t devulge has continued to follow my career since leaving Los Angeles for Berlin. What is hardly ever talked about is that most people in Hollywood aren´t very creative at all.  They have the personalities of dullard accountants.  They think they are creative, but actually hate those of us who are creative.

This particular producer is one of these people.  Ever so often he contacts me trying to put a carrot to my face in tempting me to come back to Hollywood for what he says is a starring role in a movie he is producing but I always politely decline or rather I get my assistant Gleeson Brevard to reply: Thank you for your interest in Ms. Davis, unfortunately . . . Get the picture?

Well more recently since the pandemic he has been contacting me with trying to get me to write and star in a Netflix style series. The problem with certain Hollywood power types is that they become more intrigued by you when you say No.  No is one of my all time favourite words. I left Los Angeles and the USA a very long time ago and most people are still clueless how anyone could do that. Of course I follow my own instincts no matter where they take me, and love the adage by the great Diane Vreeland, "There is elegance in refusal".

O Zittre Nicht, Mein Leiber Biatch

My first summer diagnosed with late onset type one diabetes has been more than interesting. I´ve always wondered why I hated hot weather, especially humidity. Well it turns out that temperatures more than 80 degrees fahrenheit along with humidity are not good for you when you have type one diabetes. Your insulin doesn´t respond well to high temps along with an assortment of other ills. This summer the weather has been a rollercoaster of high 90 temps and mild weather in the low 70´s which is my favourite type of weather. Unfortunately the ups and downs in temps caused me to catch a summer cold. At first I thought that Covid 19´s heinous Omnicrom BA5 variant had finally caught ahold of me, but after several home tests and two PCR tests that miraculously wasn´t the case. I hadn´t had a common cold since around 2017. When I became a guest professor teaching a performance art seminar at the Kunst University at Geneva I started to OD on hand sanitizer because I was traveling from Berlin to Switzerland every month. Along with getting a flu shot every year since moving to Berlin I noticed that I hardly ever get colds. When i lived in the USA i was always very sickly. I guess not having health insurance in the States had something to do with it.

My doctor at the diabetes zentrum cut my insulin down again which is a good thing. It seems like i am maintaining quite well so far. I´m not going to get excited because in the book Think Like a Pancreas it says that a diabetes honeymoon period can last days, weeks, months or years. Then the crash commeth.

I stopped speaking to the musician Vowl Hemp of the Ecuadorian art rock band The Recliners. Its a long story but he just became insufferable. I hear that I am not the only one who has cut ties with him. He´s burned quite a few bridges over the years. Since I cut him from my orbit I have not run into him once, even though we live in the same city. Well I don´t go anyplace with the pandemic still raging and he does live in a different part of our small town. I am not proud of myself that I can be so unforgiving. I get it from my mother who could erase people from her life with a Madame Mao expediency. Also like Madame Mao my mother would always make people pay for slights, no matter how small even if it would take her 50 years to enact the revenge.

The diva supreme Ilwyn Pomares has this to say about her short shrift relationship with Conway Caitheter Cadwaller. At least I lasted longer than his pairing with the fabulous singer and entertainer Adeema of Adeema and the Keeblers fame. They started off knock em sock em robots from the get go. Mr. Cadwaller has a history in finding fault with anyone and everyone he comes in contact with - its quite pathological at this point, the poor tormented fella. Some people are just too darn sensitive for the world at large and that is ok. He will never go hungry or have to worry about being homeless or destitute, so shoot an arrow in the air and if it goes real far hurray for him--not all of us have that luxury.

The famed French designer and artiste extrodinaire Bernard Figueroa I first met back in the 1980s when he was on holiday in Hollywood. He flirted with his Gallic wide eyed charms and engulfed that poor young lady Ms. Vaginal Davis.   It didn`t hurt that Mr. Figueroa is button bright handsome, sultry and sexy with a mammoth sized peterfication on a rather diminutive frame. He also has a razor sharp tongue on him. 

When we met he had only been out of Studio Bercot  design school for a short time but had already made a name for himself working for Thierry Mugler, Claude Montana, and Esprit. He took a job in the US in Boston for the conservative shoe manufacturer Rockport, hated the racial divides of Boston at that time and moved to New York City designing accessories for Adrienne Vitidini before breaking out on his own with the sculptural ladies who lunch shoes that brought him his ultimate renown. We had a falling out in the early aughts when I use to write for the influential fashion bible Dutch magazine but occasionally I hear word through the transatlantic grapevine about his various creative projects over the years. He has aged quite well and still has that rock hard body and great mass of sleek hair on top of his head. Will we ever be friends again? I doubt it. I do adore him, and I´m glad for all his tremendous success but I´m a notorious Mexican grudge holder. I forgive but I NEVER forget a slight no matter how tiny. I figure that If I am meant to be friends with people it will either happen organically or not and I´m willing to accept the Que Sera Sera of it. I´m very much like my Black Creole mother Mary Magdalene Duplantier in this respect with a lil Madame Mao thrown in for good measure.

Alex Jovanovich the gorgeous and talented writer and editor with Art Forum told me recently about the Rugby stars the Burgess Brothers and now I am obsessed with their asphalt masculinity. Triple Dong Yowza!

kürzliches Gegenspiel von sexuellen Angestellten

kürzliches Gegenspiel von sexuellen Angestellten Saw a man on the street a few minutes ago who looked just like Spencer Tracy returned from the dead. Yes The Spencer Tracy, the Metro Goldwyn Mayer contract player who according to Scotty Bowers was one fierce hornpiglet when it came to seducing young men for trysts of a decidedly wicked nature. I believe in Scotty Bowers. The late Scotty RiP, knew the way of all flesh!

Tracy & Hepburn were quite clever in putting out into the world the fabrication that they were part of an adulterous coupling when the true reality was they were sisters of the clothe and just very tight gal pals with a very fluxiv sexual agenda, but their strategy worked as it kept the greedy press hounds from sniffing too hard on their particular fragrant scents.

The man I saw today was Tracy of the mid 1930s freckled, barrel house and barrel chested and just a little bit salty dog but an asphalt cute nevertheless. I was feeling a bit Wife vs Secretary myself as I walked by this man and his female companion who actually come to think of it resembled a little Katherine Hepburn but not as butch. I had earlier stopped off at my favourite cafe in the kiez - Unser which is part of a small Portuguese chain in Berlin. I really love the young ladies and men that work at this boite. They are all very sweet and accommodating. Is it just me or is Berlin becoming more service oriented? At the Quartier Apoteke next door to Impala Cafe at Nollendorkyplatz twice the pharmacists were so unbelievably friendly and just generally lovely in demeanor. Both pharmacists I encountered were German and the man was young and even dare I say it flirted with me which is almost unheard of in Berlin with the male populace.

Lately I have been trying to make more of an effort to wear cuter outfits in public so perhaps that had something to do with it. The young man making my coffee at Unser Cafe gave me a bit of an eye twinkle and sitting outside sipping said coffee a middle eastern man stroke up a conversation with me. The man is a neurologist and quite personable though I wasn´t physically attracted to him he asked me for my Pentagram page, and seemed quite bemused by it when he glanced it on his mobile. Is asking for a Pentagram page a thing? I'm so out of the loop in terms of how people younger then I am relate to each other in public.

saddened beyond belief at the recent death of the great Howie Pyro of D Generation and Danzig fame. Howie was one of those all things punk and obscure musicale expertines. Plus he was also a very cherished, sweet and lovely human being, who like Tomata du Plenty, Craig Lee, and that genius Kari Krome was always so very supportive of all my crazed music and artsy fartsy ideas and pretentious productions.

Like so many others in the punk and post punk cosmos I will miss and never forget him in front of or behind the Green Door.

Anna Lucast has had it with Angelo & Maxxie`s.



Ignoring all the red and vermillion flags at full and half mast she pressed on because she thought that maybe this time she got lucky, maybe this time he´ll stay.

Maybe this time, for the first time love won´t hurry away. She was holding fast.

She is home at last.

Not a loser any more, like the last time and the time before.

Everybody loves a winner so nobody loved her of course. 

 Lady Peaceful, Lady Happy thats what she longed to be.

When all the odds aren´t in her favour. Somethings bound to begin. Its gotta happen.

Happen sometime. 

Maybe this time she´ll win.

At the end of January the Vagimule Doll started feeling very lethargic with a lack of energy so all encompassing that she didn´t have enough energy to pick up a piece of paper that landed on the floor or barely get out of bed.  This feeling started to intensify into February so much that the poor tiny woman thought that perhaps she had caught Covid 19´s dreaded Omicron variant.  Of course that was impossible since for the past two years the lady has kept herself completely isolated in an obsession not to infected because of asthma and other pre existing health conditions.  

Little did our heroine know that multiple symptoms were going to start plaguing her body including having to urinate every 90 minutes making it impossible to sleep, cottontail mouth and uncontrolled thirst and hunger pangs along with losing weight even though she was stuffing her pie face constantly with fattening comfort foods and chugging down fruit smoothies.  

Leave it to her internal medicine doctor who warned  told that the liver and kidneys were barely functioning and  blood sugar was 500+ + +  sending Ms. Davista Jr. to the krankenshaft ASAP.  

Fortunately her colleagues at CHEAP Kollektiv including Fearless Leader Susanne Sachsse, film historian Marcuse Siegelstein and translator to the academic schtars Daniel Hendrickson and others like Empress Stefanie Schulte Strathaus, Nanna Heidenreich, gallerists La Famiglia Bortolozzi, Amy Adams, Ben Tischer rallied to the daughter of dusts aid.  

She of She's wound up in the hospital for ten days where they were working on bringing the blood sugar down to normal registers.  One of the doctors at the hospital did an ultra sound and saw something in the enlarged pancreas ducts and with the bedside manner of a shredded turnip told les damsel its probably pancreatic cancer.  So for two days until she was able to get the results of an MRT Play Misty For Me was basically preparing her last Willena  and testament.

Well the MRT cleared her of pancreatic cancer but was diagnosed with late onset type one diabetes, which came as a complete shockermickeyrooney.  Much better than krebs but its a very serious chronic illness that forces her I would to be on a blood sugar management program that would include taking pancreas pills with every meal and shooting oneself Christian F style with insulin.  Upon release from Vivantes Victoria August Frau Sachsse found a delightful feministiche diabetes zentrum with all female doctors and staff who are the coolest ladies in the land, but because we are still dealing with a raging pandemic there are no classes to inculcate Lassie Marie Pangborn into this new diabetes cosmos  so she is Norma Kamali OMO (On My Own)  to do a lot of the research of this second bedroom island.  

The last three years Ms. Davista Jr. went from one international exhibition to the other but I guess for the 2022-23 season the focus will have to shift to healthcare on the Road to Ozcot.  If any out there in Wide World Webland have any insights please reach out to via Vaginaldavis.com webmaster Larry Bob Roberts in San Francisco.  Those in the know will figure out how to reach him via the Vaginal Davis Facebook fanpage.

Last week along with Marcuse Siegelstein Ms. Davista Jr. was at the Reboot FM studio for the first time in two years for a live broadcast of the monthly radio program CHEAP Funk on Freies Künstlerradio aus Berlin - Kunst, Diskurs & elektronische Musik. Live aus dem ACUD - UKW 88,4 MHz in Berlin & 90,7 MHz in Potsdam.  The archive can be found by googling CHEAP Funk or Reboot FM.

 Special call in guests included  the brilliant scholar Sarah Lewis who ruminated on all things Sugar.  Sarah and her entire super talented, gifted family are international treasures that CHEAP Kollektiv worship. Miss Sarah had a lot to say on the colonial racist proclivities inherent in that sweet poison that Sugar manifests, and the ramification that are still wrecking havoc with funky nassau colored peoples the world over. Miss Sarah recommended reading these books:  

Curdella Forbes A Tall History of Sugar

Edwidge Danticat The Farming of Bones

Blood Sugar: Racial Pharmacology and Food Justice in Black America by Anthony Ryan Hatch.  

I will make it a point to get these important tomes and add them to what is already on my nitestand that includes Dodie Bellamy`s genius book of essays Bee Reaved.  Dodie Belamy and her late partner the great Kevin Killian together represented the very best of queer literary aristocracy, and were the only royals that mattered both in this life and the next.

Talk about Out of the Past starring Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas and Jane Greer I got an unexpected phone call from someone I haven´t spoken to in over two decades. Normally I never answer my phone when its a telephone number that doesn´t come with a name attached, but for some reason I decided to pick up the line. I´m not a very spontaneous person though it may appear to be that I am, because of my performance work. I don´t talk to that many people on the mobile phone as most these days prefer texting, but I do have a few friends that are regular phone pals and you can count them on one ungloved sequin hand.

So imagine my chagrin when the person on the other end of the phone is the famed television actress and pop culture icon Heather Locklear. Heather and I started college together at UCLA, I won`t tell you the year, I´ll just say it was a very long time ago. I also worked for ten years at UCLA´s Placement and Career Planning Center where Heather`s father Bill Locklear was the center director, so he was my boss. Heather would alway drop by the Placement Center when she was on campus filming segments of her nightime TV soap opera Melrose Place. They would always film in the Sculpture Garden which was the opposite end of campus from the Placement Center. Heather would come by to say hi to her father and sometimes I would run into her and we`d chittle chat. Heather was always a good time Sally who loved to laugh and party and just have an all around fanciful time. Back during our university days we´d go dancing with a big group to tired Dillons Disco in Westwood Village or go to Hollywood to Seven Seas where Dayle Gloria was the DJane or Osco`s on Monday Night when Rodney on the ROQ would DJ. Osco`s was where they filmed the Donna Summer disco movie Thank God It´s Friday. We´d also go to the Rainbow Room and The Roxy on the Sunset Strip and The Oddyssy at Beverly Blvd and LaCienega, its sister location Phases in the Valley, Flipper`s Roller Disco, Gino´s II at Santa Monica Blvd and Vine Street and the Sugar Shack in North Hollywood which changed its name to something I don`t remember now. There was also a disco in Santa Monica that we frequented that was trendy for a moment, and an underground hangout near the beach that had the nutty name of The Mirror-Go-Round. I think we also went once or twice to this Black club called The Bit-n-Apple that was on Wilshire Blvd near San Vicente in an office tower. This particular club was frequented by this flashy group of Black men that were part of the 280Z Club because they all drove this sporty Datsun automobile and would hang out at Fatburgers on San Vicente Blvd & Burton Way. One of the girls in our group was this wild white girl named Judy Brooks who only dated Black men. Judy drove a cute MG convertible and was so much fun to be around. We had worked together back when I was in high school at Equifax in Santa Monica and was already a junior at UCLA when I started there. Judy was a Jewish princess who lived in Cheviot Hills with her parents, and she had an older brother who had dark curly hair and such a hot muscular body. I was totally in love with her hot brother, but I was invisible to him. Judy´s brother looked just like the actor Steven Guttenberg in the movie The Chicken Chronicles. By the way Steven Guttenberg was also a student at UCLA while I was there as well, and he would zip about campus in the the most revealing Dolphin shorts where you could see perfectly his impeccable circumcision. The actor Tim Robbins was also a student at UCLA who was in my playwriting class that was taught by Oscar Saul, who adapted A Streetcar Named Desire to the screen. Mr. Saul was such a nice man who ate breakfast every morning at this Googie style diner that was on Wilshire and Westwood Blvd.

But getting back to Heather Locklear. I asked her how did she get my mobile phone number? She said she got it from a friend we both knew who worked in casting, who was close with the late great DJ Henry Peck. This person didn´t have my telephone number but only had to make one call to get it.

Heather and I talked for an hour. I guess she was feeling nostalgic about her past. I didnt know the poor girl had been going through such a rough time. I told her she needs to get out of Southern California and Hollywood. She agreed but I doubt she will. She texted me a photo from when we all use to go out in these huge group of friends from school. I won´t share the photo as I look horrible in it. Heather and I are the same age and her daughter Ava Sambora that she had with guitarist Richie Sambora is now 27 years old. It makes me feel ancient. Heather´s father Bill Locklear looks just like Heather with the same kind eyes. He was the nicest boss I have ever had. I hated when he retired because that kind of signaled that my days were numbered working at UCLA. A group of co-workers who had always resented my autonomy conspired to get rid of me. At one point they made a complaint that I wore bedroom slippers to work. How absurd is that? Let´s face it I was just too weird to work at that University and I´m surprised I lasted as long as I did.

One of my incredible students from my time teaching recently a performance art seminar at Work Master HEAD Geneva is having an exhibition. Jacopo Belloni is a very talented young artist with a great sense of humour and a thick gorgeous head of luxurious hair, I´m so jealous of his hair, plus he has expressive sensitive eyes and is very kind.

JACOPO BELLONI
Sensuous Supersensuous

12.03-30.04.2022
apertura sabato 12 marzo dalle 15:00 alle 19:00

La mostra personale di Jacopo Belloni (Ancona, 1992) si focalizza sulla ricerca visiva e antropologica del giovane artista attraverso una serie di sculture in bronzo-ottone realizzata in occasione del premio New Heads Young Artist Advancement Award conferitogli nel 2021.
In Anathema Souvenirs (2021), Belloni conduce una ricerca sugli amuleti popolari che in alcune regioni italiane da talismani si sono trasformati, nel corso del tempo, in semplici souvenir turistici.
Simili a cornucopie contemporanee, le sculture dell’artista ci restituiscono una moltitudine di amuleti fusi in dense masse di bronzo-ottone, riabilitando la primitiva aura dell’amuleto come se provenissero da uno scavo archeologico grazie alla particolare patina di cui sono ricoperti e alle superfici in parte lievemente consumate che rimandano alle originarie manipolazioni apotropaiche. Privati della loro funzione originale, questi ciondoli prodotti in serie alimentano un mercato commerciale fiorente: sebbene pochi siano a conoscenza dei significati tradizionali dei singoli simboli, specialmente nelle famose destinazioni turistiche, si approfitta del fascino “sensibilmente sovrasensibile”, termine desunto dalle teorie marxiste in riferimento alla merce, di cui questi manufatti sono ammantati.

One of Berlin's most prolific artists is the photographer Annette Frick. Just received this notice of her latest standout exhibition that if you are in Berlin without haste you must venture to.

Ihr Lieben
angesichts der grauenhaften Veränderung unserer aller Situation
habe ich überlegt, ob Kunst überhaupt noch Sinn macht...
denke aber, gerade jetzt ist es wichtig Menschen zu treffen und sich
auszutauschen, jetzt erst recht.
................................................................................................................................
hier die Infos zu zwei Ausstellungen in denen meine Arbeiten zu sehen sind:


WHAT MATTERS in der Akademie der Künste
Eröffnung ist am 12.3.2022 -18 Uhr Hanseatenweg

vorweisen

und "die Blüten von Berlin" in der Galerie Chert/Lüdde

siehe Anhänge
freue mich wenn Ihr trotzdem kommt
Love Annette

Millennium Star's 10 Year Retrospective

14 - 16/1 2022
Opening Friday 14 January 18:00-21:00/6-9 pm
Opening hours for member shows:
Friday: 18:00-21:00/6-9 pm
Saturday-Sunday: 13.00-17.00/1-5 pm

Galleri CC, Båstadsgatan 4, Malmö, Sweden

This retrospective show works starting from the creation of Maria Norrman’s drag character Millennium Star in 2012 up to present time.

Many years before Norrman heard of RuPauls Drag Race and terms like “faux queen” (cis women who do feminine drag) she asked herself what would happen if a female bodied person was made into a drag queen?

What would happen to that person’s sense of gender and identity, and how would their surroundings react? Norrman decided to give a drag artist the task of making her into a drag queen.

Thus Millennium Star was created, a character which allowed her to, step by step, perform in different settings and places where Norrman wouldn’t dare, or want, to put herself. Millennium Star allows her to explore an existence on the side of the gender binary, where a more fluid state can exist.

Millennium is a displaced diva. Something is always slightly off in their performances, as in having a drag performance happen on that certain site or, with the performance itself. Such as the performances done under the umbrella of Gallery Extra, which brought Millennium to do a glittery lip sync performance at the almost empty Lorensborg shopping center in Malmö.

Millennium Star is, and has been, many things: a music historian who lip syncs to songs by past queer icons from the 1940s, like Karl Gerhard and Ulla Billquist. They’ve acted as an environmental cleanser, dressed in marine debris and picking litter around the Vege river in Scania, while singing the praises of seaside life.

Millennium Star is sometimes met with the stark reality of gender non-conformists, like when they walked in the outskirts of Copenhagen in drag, sensing how gazes transformed from appreciative to questioning and hostile.

Millennium Star started as, and still is, a way for Norrman to express herself, using femininity as a style. A style and expression we’re taught to shun and turn away from in order to be taken seriously.

The retrospective shows video work, documentation from performances and polycanvas wall images, along with photos of Millennium’s costume design and memorabilia from past events.

This is the first time Millennium Star’s entire body of work is shown.

Maria Norrman (SE) is a visual artist who mainly works with video and photography, in combination with performance and costume making. Norrman often uses herself and different characters in her work which allows her to put her appearance and gender expressions in relation to the participants.

The works explore the meeting between hers and other people's fantasies and topics such as war history, gender and sexuality. Her methods often consist of different types of role play, where body, clothing and identities are central starting points.

Norrman was born in 1987 and received her MFA from Malmö Art Academy in 2013.

The latest from international art treasures Beth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle

Hello from the quarantine headquarters of Beth Stephens & Annie Sprinkle. Once again, we are dancing fast to dodge covid and to support our beloveds that have it. Sadly, for the coming few weeks, we won't be giving you big hugs, sharing breaths, or having indoor meals together. Damn it! However, we can send you our best wishes for the new year, oodles of love, some hope and good news.

1. We simply love the Earth and our ecosexy community, so we have launched a new non-profit, E.A.R.T.H. Lab SF. This has been Beth's dream, and she made it happen. The E.A.R.T.H. Lab at UCSC in Santa Cruz that started in 2014 will continue. However, having a non-profit in San Francisco to serve our wider community opens up new opportunities. We are an official 501c3, have a terrific working board, and a great creative team. Magic is afoot.

2. On New Years Day, E.A.R.T.H. Lab SF launched its new website. Take a peek. Read our mission statement, meet our team, and find info about how to engage. Please send any feedback you have about the site and any suggestions for the future. (See website here) The site is designed and built by the fabulous Julie Rogge. Our talented graphic designer Saul Villegas (Beth's former student), will be updating it colorfully as we go.
