I WASH MY HAIR WITH SNOW

Rising Stars Falling Stars - Vaginal Davis & White Christmas - December 2013 by Filmanzeiger on Mixcloud

WAS DER HIMMEL ERLAUBT

One of the last great Hollywood golden era glamourpusses died - Miss Joan Fontaine age 96. The star of such films as The Constant Nymph, Jane Eyre, That Certain Smile,The Bigamist (which I remade as a performance/stage vehicle playing Joan’s role in a collaboration with Susanne Sachsse playing the Ida Lupino part in what we called The Communist Bigamist), and one of my favorite film melodrama’s Letter From an Unknown Woman. Miss Fontaine was quite a handfull and never got along with her older twice Oscar winning sister Olivia deHavilland who is still alive age 97 living in Paris. The fued of the famous siblings is one of Hollywood’s most enduring true legends.

I have slowly started to emerge from my sorrow nest and I’ve accepted some invitations notably a lovely dinner party given by La Susanne Sachsse the East German diva whose famous circular table is the Teutonic version of the celebrated Algonquin Round. The Great Frau Sachsse and her film historian companion Marc Siegel hosted visiting American scholar Jonathan Flatly who is so sweet and low key. The food was beyond fabulous and the guest list also included Daniel Hendrickson the Scandinavian Muslim translator to academia’s biggest shtars. I also met with the handsome young journalist Michael Scaturro of Deutsche Welle who is so charming and bright. Michael is such a dream boy and bought me a lovely gift from Gallery LaFayette to help cheer me up and get me out of feeling down in the depths of the 90th floor. Michael was my handsome escort when I attended an open house for Black Market and Mobile Academy founder Hannah Hurtzig at her stylish Mitte compound. The generous Ms. Hurtzig is always thinking of her friends and colleagues and while in one of her purge moods gave me this exquisite chocolate rifelle Jean-Paul Gaultier winter coat which I will always cherish and it fits me perfectly.

SCHOENE DES TAGES

Tragedy, tragedy, tragedy.  If it isn’t enough that I am still not sleeping at all because of the tragic death of my good friend Dr. Jose Munoz of NYU Performance Studies Dept.  I get word from Los Angeles that my sister Teresa Ray, the only close relative I have left other then my nephews & nieces and their children is having breathing problems and is in a very bad way.  Thank god my health insurance here in Berlin will pay for grief counseling and some short term therapy.  I need it!!!!

Dr. Jennifer Doyle is in New York being the angel that she is helping those close to Dr. Jose cope.  Dr. Doyle gives good nurture and so I am sure Nao Bustamente, Ella Troyano, Carmelita Tropicana and John-John Anderson will benefit from the strong sensitive support that only Dr. Doyle can provide in an hour of need.

Went to the movies and saw the Aussie film Two Mothers also called in German Days at the Beach.  Both titles are awfull starring Robin Wright and Naomi Watts who wind up bagging each others strapping teenage surfer boy sons.  It would have been a better storyline if the two moms got down for some heavy lesbiana and or the boys started macking each other with all four of them winding up in a hot buttery fourgy.  As is the film is tepid at best.  Also went to see the Cohen Bros Inside Llewyn Davis. Impressed by the acting skills and singing chops of star Oscar Issac and was surprised by Carey Mulligan who has never wowed me, but she was lovely here.  Was happy to see the short glimpse of that  beautifull piece of eye candy in Garrett Hedlund, thrombone Adam Driver and humpy dork Stark Sands.  

BLAZING GRIEF

Was taken to a lovely luncheon  at the old school Berlin restaurant Borchardt on Franzosische Strasse  by the beautiful and glamorous Daphne´ Cousineau who is the managing director of Valentino Couture.  I haven´t seen Madame Cousineau since she lived in Los Angeles with her hot handsome husband Olivier and worked for Vivendi Universal.  We had a joyous reunion, but upon arriving home I received a devastating phone call telling me of the sudden death of Dr. Jose Esteban Munoz at age 46.  Jose had been such a staunch supporter of my art life writing a chapter about me in his famed book Disidentifications.  I didn´t want to believe that Dr. Munoz was really gone so in a deluze adaise I went to Daniel Hendrickson´s annual Hannakuh Party where everyone present including Marc Siegel, Empress Stefanie Schulte Strathaus of Arsenal Institüt für film und video kunst, Nanna Heidenreich, Max Jorge Hinder Cruz and Senol Senturk shared their memories of the great writer, teacher and scholar.  Of course I wasn´t able to sleep at all that night tossing and turning as golden memories of Jose flooded my mind corpules.  The next evening I tried to drown my sorrow by going to see a screening of The Killers the 1946 film directed by Robert Siodmak starring hunky Burt Lancaster, Edmund O´Brian, Eva Gardner and a young William Conrad as a hired assassin.  Jose would have gotten such a kick out of seeing William Conrad before he became known as the pepperpot TV detective Cannon in the 1970s.  Second night with no sleep and something tells me that there are going to be many more sleepless winter evenings as 19 years studded with memories of Dr. Munoz overwhelm and annoint me.  Thank you to everyone who has called and emugged and my heart pours out to Jose´s familia in Florida and his NYC clan of colleagues and devoted students including his sister in the clothe Carmelita Tropicana and sweet young lover John-John.

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.
