THAT IRON CURTAIN SMILE




Someone just recently sent me a link about the romantic affairs of Anderson Cooper.  I can believe there is so much media interest in Mr. Cooper the handsome, silverfox TV presenter and son of heiress Gloria Vanderbuilt.  I feel a little bit responsible for this as I was the first person to write about him way back in the 1990s when no one knew who he was.  Its surprising that no one has tracked down one of his old boyfriends Treffley Bedard who I believe still lives on Oakhurst Drive in the 90210 section of Beverly Hills.  I am sure Treffley who when I knew him was quite the juicy sex boy has quite the percolating story to tell.

Two of my former Weissensee Art Akademy students have a new project.  Please read about it here and attend: 

Kotti Shop/Copyroboter (Annette Knol) and Material Mafia (Katja von Helldorff) have been working together since a long time printing, drawing, combining techniques and sharing inspiration. Annette and me are both pretty much under the influence of travelling in our minds, and probably just as you dreaming of being somewhere else than in the cold grey wet Berlin weather ... for example: lying in the shadow of a coconut tree .
These are the main reasons why we decided to show some of our graphic work together and invite you to dream of COCONUT MILK with us !

SATURDAY 7TH OF DECEMBER from 15h is the opening of the exhibition
at Werkstatt für Experimente / Material Mafia : KUGLERSTR 61, 10439 Berlin
it runs until the 30th of december
opening hours: saturdays 15-18h, tuesdays 15-17h  and by appointment : 0163 989 33 85
it would be lovely to see you all there !


Went to the Kino Arsenal to see a screening of Otto Preminger’s film version of Francoise Sagan’s Bonjour Tristesse.  I really love this 1957 film starring the young and ravishing Jean Seberg in some Rick Owens looking Givenchy gowns, David Niven, Deborah Kerr, the very effective Mylene Demongeot  and hunky Geoffrey Horne who is now an acting  professor at NYU. I was surprised there was such a big crowd for the film.

HOEREN,SINGEN, TANZEN, FRITZEN




Love getting emugs from my old knitting circle in Los Angeles. Here’s the latest from a hornpig elderly Chicano pal with an active imagination: 
My Sweet Nappy Head Cornelius, I am on Jury duty, it is dreadful. The holding room is like a morgue, we are all freezing. Not a single Hottie to oogle at while cooped up in the room. There is a tired old Queen I recognize from Golds gym, but that bitch is too full of her old self to be bothered. You should see the folks who work here, oh my are they some Fugly lifeless souls. I have been busy with work. Lots going on. We have a few things going on at the house as well. The heating system gets installed tomorrow. The house does not feel like it will be as cold as our old house, so that is a relief, but it also has several windows, so we do need some sort of heating. I saw Andrew and Areiel at my house for our Day of the Dead party. They both look very good and handsome and sexy. We had fun. We had a full house for the party. Nobody got drunk and no fights were started. I ran into Jeffrey and his little Latino cutie pie. I forget where we were, I think it was the Hollywood Forever cemetery Day of the Dead event. The event was HUGE. Negra, I can't keep my eyes open! You said you were coming to NY, what are the dates? You should plan a trip to L.A. next summer. Let me know, I will bring your ass down and you can stay in our studio. I can post on Craigslist, Mayata for White Chorizo Service. I'm sure that all the Hot Big Dick White bro's will reply and want to feed you their big rocket shaped Weenies. It will be fun. I wasn't selected on a panel. So my public duty is over.I'm at Gold's gym Hollywood. U should see the queens. For every One hot masculine sexy man, there are 100 tired former Weho A-list bitches.U r a Cochina for wanting to be a fly on the wall to see ur X husband fuck his new lover. That is disgusting. U r just yellous because Uriel is young and pretty and u r old and crotchety and ugly. But somebody out there I'm sure would just love you up the same way Andrew used to. U just have to kiss more Germans. It's getting cold out here,.with beautiful blue skies.I'm ready for my Mom's stuffing for Thanksgiving. I have been busy but still make time for some nasty sessions. I'm playing with a lean black haired blue eyed white dude. He's 26 with a smooth super hot ass and Hole. He's also packing a big thick dick. I also just recently reconnected with this straight surfer dude who is all crazy about getting fucked. I've played with him for well over a year or so. It had been a few months and he resurfaced last week for a fuck session. I am at Gold's gym, will write in more detail later.

CHINCHILLAS ARE CREPUSCULAR


Just found out that the great poet Wanda Coleman died after a long illness. Wanda was one of my mentors and inspirations. She was an all around classy, sassy lady who was a powerhouse in all manner of life and poetry and had dynamic presence on and off of the stage. Ms. Coleman even won an Emmy award for writing on the hit daytime TV show Days of Our Lives which was one of my late mother´s favorite soap operas. I felt like Wanda was a big sister figure dying at age 67 which is close to the age my sister Gloria Jean would be if she was still alive.

SITZSÄCKE IM KULTIGEN



Hey my darlings the other day I was invited to a wonderous bruncheon at the compound of Felix Knoke my sweet and sexxxy collaborator with the Tenderloin music project. Felix is not only a well hung, muscular sex stud but is a fab gourmet cook. He whipped a delicious Lake Constance scramble with a Destruction of Atlantis Ambrosia that was out of this cockymania cosmos. Felix is such a prolific talent, besides being a gifted musician he is also a primo journalista writing for Die Stern and Der Spiegel and is also the Editor-In-Chief of the music, art, culture and tech journal DeBug. Enjoying the scrumptious and stylish meal: Italian Mario Bava-ish beauties Sara and Angela, handsome and patrician Landgraf Jan Klesse who when not performing with Tenderloin is part of his husband Glen Meadmore´s European touring band along with moonlighting duties in Joel Gibb´s The Hidden Cameras.

Just saw the new Woody Allen film Blue Jasmine and the performances of Cate Blanchett and Sally Hawkins are phenomenal!!!! I also recognized one of my young actor fans in the fine form of Alden Ehrenreich, who has flirted with me in very embarrassing ways in Europe, but also when I´ve been in New York. I am old enough to be the child´s great grandmother.

I hope Love Camel is reading my blog and he goes out and buys me a copy of Jack & Lem by David Pitts. It’s the untold story of the secret lifetime homosexual love affair between John F. Kennedy and Lem Billings which began when they went to my old prep school Choate. I only went to Choate for a while  on scholarship as I was kicked out. Vaginal Davis getting kicked out of schools is the story of my overly long life.

My west coast art gallery Adams & Ollman will be part of the art fair in Miami in December so those of you who go from art fair to art fair make sure you buy some of my latest paintings.

Violence of the Image: The Crisis of Representation

Tuesday, November 26, 7pm @ Anthology Film Archives
Filmmaker Jesal Kapadia will be present along with filmmaker John Greyson (via Skype) for a post-screening discussion with moderator, writer/cultural critic Nadja Millner-Larsen. Join us in the lobby after the screening for a wine reception where we invite the conversation to continue in a more relaxed environment. In butting up against the limits of representation these films take on an element of risk, sometimes formally, in refusing the conventional consolations of realism, and sometimes performatively, as the filmmakers expose themselves to direct physical danger.

Flaherty NYC Programmers Sherry Millner & Ernie Larsen Sherry Millner and Ernie Larsen are anarchist artists who produce STATE OF EMERGENCY, an interventionist video project, in collaboration with more than 15 artists. They began working together in the mid-seventies with a performance about the Weather Underground and then made the two-screen situationist Super-8 Disaster (1976), recently restored on DVD. They produced two 16 mm anti-documentaries on the politics of crime, and then a series of satiric semi-autobiographical videos focusing
on the authoritarian structures indispensable to capital. Millner's multimedia installations have explored domestic space as a battleground, first with the theory and practice of camouflage as the controlling aesthetic and then re- creating the designs and plans in U.S. army manuals on how to boobytrap the home. Larsen is also a novelist (Not a Through Street) and a media critic. Their conceptual video, 41 Shots, based on the police murder of immigrant street peddler, Amadou Diallo, examines the implicitly racist 'broken windows' theory of criminology. Their new video essay Rock the Cradle explores the fierce challenge posed by the Greek uprising of December '08-January '09 to the rule of global capital and the state, while relocating resonant aspects of the anarchist pasts of Barcelona and the Paris Commune within present-day struggles. Millner is also a professor at College of Staten Island, CUNY. The programmers would like to dedicate this series to Allan Sekula. This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
