Tun wir so, als wären wir tot.

I can´t believe Precious Finch aka Jennifer Finch the bass player of L7 is gone. She was a very beautiful lady and so amazingly talented as both a musician and photographer. Plus she was a delightfully sweet fun loving gal. A good time Sally if ever there was one, who could also be a little wicked. Basically my type of punk rock girlie, the kind I would gravitate to over the many centuries of life on the planet. I believe we first came in contact with each other when she was quite young in the early 1980s through her photography. I believe it was Big Daddy Ron Athey who initially introduced us.

I will always remember her band Other Star People rocking out with their enormous cocks out at Club Sucker at the Garage and the surprise show that L7 did at Sucker that is still talked about today. L7 wanted PME to go on tour with them back in 1991 after we played together at The Whiskey-A-Go-Go but PME broke up just after that infamous show.

Jennifer Finch joins the heavenly firmament of bright starinas. I will always love you, and will never forget you.

Ein offener Abfluss

An open drain: a loathsome sore unbandaged, dirty act done publicly. A lazar house with all its doors and windows open. . . gross, almost putrid indecorum--literary carrion, crapulous.

He was taken from social services because both parents gave him Thunderbird wine.

The principle of the school Rosslyn Heyman was threatened that she would be kidnapped unless Maximilan Anton Lamoral was the given the lead in the middle school production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Later Maxi had a hot buttered threegy with Donny and Marie Osmond.

Tiefes Bohren in verbotene Früchte

All aboard for the yadi, yadi, yadi deliciousness of Maximilian Brauer aka: Max der Kodierer as Peer Gynt in Vinge, Müller & Reinholdtsen´s splendorous version of the Ibsen classic at the Volksbühne. Max is Buster Keaton physicality mixed with Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle pathos/bathos.

So many delights abound in this sterling production. Its all about the details with Vinge/Müller/Reinholdtsen and their 8 hour opus. Endurance theatre has never looked and sounded so good--pure geniustrata.

Everyone in the auditorium was holding their pee, not wanting to go to the toilet lest they miss a moment of far flung spectacle. Everything in this production is of mega importance especially the brilliant Susanne Bredehöft an actress worthy of idol worship.

A lusty troll doll offers up lactated buttermilk, plus Jane Powell/Kathryn Grayson high C Susi taking the form of Ingrid Thulin, Signe Hasso and Ingrid Bergman. Ah the wonderously joyous sounds with music that is exalted, hallucinogenic, cascading into Grand Ole Opry territory with hilarious scumkleptic hijinks.

Another character in this pageant is the sets and costumes/maske by Ida Müller. Ms. Müller is Theoni V. Aldredge and Cecil Beaton. Her talents hold no boundaries.

Vinge/Müller/Reinholdtsen are taking theater to its next level. It is a must as we face heedless, cruel times where nothing is assured and everything is fragile with sudden disaster just a zing zing zing goes my heart strings away on that ill fated trolley ride to get sharted on by the boy nexus door.

So sad to report that the talented Downtown New York artist Agosto Machado died recently. Agosto was an angel beloved by everyone he came in contact with. Late in life he began to be recognized for his gifts with international museums collecting his sacred alters and

assemblages. The New York City commercial gallery Gordon Robichaux represented Agosto. He will be sorely missed as a divine personage and one of the all time great stars of Man!hattan as a performer, activist and consumate artiste.

Sagen Sie mir einfach, was Sie wollen

Both my Club Sucker partner Frank Rodriguez and my therapist said in no uncertain terms that now that I am 65 that this needs to be my Taylor Swift Slut Era. Can you imagine The Doll as a Kleistian Tussy? No matter, as I have taken it in stride getting friendly with a young Uzbekistan man who appears to be ethnically Chinese. He is tall and quite striking looking and has a mighty warble if I do say so myself.

I boldly felated him gagging on the lovely extravaganza of his Jeff Stryker like mushroom head. We exchanged emails, and for once I didn´t immediately start planning my bridal registry at Barney´s. Does Barney´s still exist?

A few weeks later I met a very personable Mexican man who just moved to Berlin to study high barbaree. Why am I suddenly meeting very tall young fellas with above average appendages? Something is in the Deanna Durbin air.

I am feeling very Ali McGraw today. Not Ali in the film Players where she co-starred with Dean Paul Martin the son of actor/singer Dean Martin and performer in the teen rock band Dino, Desi & Billy with Desi Arnaz Jr. and Billy Hinsche.

I quietly morph into Ali in the film Convoy 1979, directed by Sam Peckinpah and co-starring bearded hunk Kris Kristopherson. Yes I see myself as closely cropped haired Ali McGraw re-emerging after a five year hiatus from the screen and a tumultuous divorce from sexy as all hell breaking loose Steve McQueen. I am also Ali the star of Love Story with gorgeous Ryan O´Neal and Ali in Goodbye Columbus featuring Richard Benjamin and humpy dork Michael Meyers. Of course I am Ali in The Getaway 1972 directed by Sam Peckinpah, co-starring Sally Struthers and my paramour Steve McQueen of the perfect penis who dickmatized me into oblivion. Steve McQueen loved slurping on my pert bullet nipples including the aereolas. In fact he sucked them so good that I left my husband producer Robert Evans who was a pre mature ejaculator supreme.

RAMMRATH

The Vagimule Doll had a delightful time at the theatre and was lucky to get a ticket for the sold out performance by João D'Orey a gifted young talent who has caused quite the sensation at Berlin´s Gorki Theater-Studio R with the spirited performance piece T-Boy on Grinder.

Mr. D'Orey's radiant youth and masculine charms serving to perfection. A highlight for me was the Flashdance choreography of Steven Fast and the pathos of being young and trying to find ones place in a harsher by the minute cruel world. João D'Orey is a name we are keeping our eyes on.

Electro San Clemente operates on the level of generosity and abundance. Thats what sezts him apart from someone like icky grifty Raoul Squalsh. Elektro and his husband have been together for over thirty years and own their modest home in Edendale´s Plato del Lago. They live way within their means and you´d never know they were multi millionaires because they are so humble. Elektro is a gifted artiste. Does he nickle and dime the subjects he photographs? No he gives them their photos to do with as they please, not even asking for credit. He has endeared himself to many international artists who swear by his work as their secret weapon. Being as loving and giving as he is, it comes back to him one hundred fold as his work is seen in many publications and international catalogs and exhibitions. Elektro never toots his own horn. He lets the work speak for itself and builds lasting relationships so there is no need for the hard sell. Either people are into his work or they are not. He accepts things as they are.

Ms. Davis was so sad to miss the opening of the great Lygia Lewis at Gropius Bau, but she was still in NYC involved with the public program at MoMa PS1.  

Because of some other commitments and what not our little lady Vagimule didn´t get a chance to see the exhibit I´m Not Here Forrrrr... until its last day January 18th. She was under the wrong impression that the run of the exhibition was going to be until March. As such she missed out on the live performance Wayward Chant, but did manage to spend quality time with the video, A Plot, A Scandal. The beauty of gesture and supplication is the only way resistance to modern day forces of repression can be addressed. Perfect dazzling visuals and sumpteous music by Twin Shadow. What more do you need?

Water Will (in Melody) A soundscape in a feral womb forcing one to undergo a highly intense reflection mode, and with the dulcet voices of La Lewis, Dani Brown and Susanne Sachsse there is no safer place in our mad, mad world. 

Deader than dead- I will kill you dead, but before it comes to that let´s do the Madison, The Latin Hustle-Dominican Style, and some HBC stepping stone while speaking in truncated tongues. Hullabaloo mixed with a little late 1960s era Kathryn Kuhlman will always send me into overdrive, plus getting to behold Ms. Lygia Lewis, Jaspar Marsalis, Jasmine Orpilla and Austyn Rich-- Divoon!

Die schmale Ecke

Primelpathogen

The young, beautiful Swedish artiste Maria Norrman is the new Maya Deren with her experimental films that not only remind one of the great Deren´s work but also the Canadian early cinema feminist Nell Shipman.

Her latest project



concentrates on the obscure Swedish female impersonator John Lind and his wife and manager Stephanie Lind. This new short subject gem is very elegant in the way it takes its sweet time with exacting focus. Playing Lind is actor and ballet dancer Corrado di Lorenzo who reminded me of George de la Pena who played Nijinsky in the 1980 Herbert Ross directed bio pic. Not only does Ms. Norrman act and direct but she has designed some superlative costumes, and props. When you see the film you´ll have to judge for yourself whether Ms. Norrman´s costuming is more Theoni V. Aldredge or Walter Plunkett.

Verlangen nach einigen Samenemissionen

All hail Raoul "The Walking Cadaver" Squalsh. I knew he had burned a lot of the Bridges of Madison County, but until my A-Team gave me their latest progress report from their investigative work I wasn´t aware that he has burned almost every bridge in Christendom, and just how many people are more than ape shittake Jane Goodall to join forces with almost anyone who will bring him a comeuppance. I haven´t lived in Los Angeles in twenty years so I´m fortunate that its not hard to avoid seeing that death spiral face of his.

I had heard that Raoul “The Ghoul” Squalsh was suffering from early dementia 13, but I didn´t know it had progressed so far. He and his alcoholic sidekick--always an associate never a partner´, enabler are up to their usual Cockoo for Coco Pops/Trix are for Dix shenanigans. They are an amusing pair of bitteroids. Miss Lorena Bobbett& the Bromide has some major T with receipts to tell me from when she worked with Jimminy Fidgett at the LA Visitors Bureau. Should be interesting documentation to add to the case being built.  They smelt it, they delt it.

Geil und charmant

During the finnessage CHEAP Kollektiv performance The Word Falls, for the closing exhibition of Gropius Bau´s Fabelhaftes Produkt during Berlin Art Week a Latin American filmmaker and girlfriend of the diva Vaginal Davis told her that a slattern looking woman resembling La Llorona, but dressed in natty black clothing with long dreadlocks was snapping fotos and floating about the event like an apparition. Ms. Davis was so heavily concentrating in staying in character she didn´t even notice the large audience in attendance. Some people had to be turned away as the huge atrium space went beyond capacity.

Vaginal Davis dressed all in white robes was wearing a huge headress that was weighing her neck and shoulders down She was in excruciating pain during and after the performance ritual.

The Fearless Leader of CHEAP, La Susanne Sachsse masterfully directed the performance as well as performing on a sculptural swing, aided and abetted by film historian Marcuse Siegelstein, Daniel Hendrickson, Christian Fritzenwanker who supervised the makeup, costumes, aesthetic&conceptual design with assist by Janette Peters, Martin Siemann-lighting director, Boris Wilsdorf-sound, Pola Sieverding-Live Video, Richard Gabriel & Nele Ruckelshausen-akshunist wrestling, XiuXiu-additional music and Tyme Khleifi who performed and was the curatorial assistant.

The project was a collaboration with the celebrated Jewish conductor and musicologist Michael Barenboim and the Nasme´Ensemble featuring Bakr Khleifi on oud. The musicians in the ensemble are all radiantly gorgeous students and graduates of the Barenboim-Said Akademy from different regions of Palestine dedicated to playing both European chamber music and a repertoire from Palestine. CHEAP, The Word Falls was curated by Nora-Swantje Almes of Live Program and Outreach with Edessa Malke and Savannah Thümler.

The Word Falls, a fog of denial, horn speakers, music, poetry, ethics and the letter of the law. Who could ask for anything more?

eine solch sympathische Konkubine, immer bereit für eine gefährliche Verschlingung.

So delighted to receive a copy of Bad Gays-A Homosexual History by the enigmatic writing team of Huw Lemmey (very patrician sounding moniker) and Ben Miller, Board President of the Schwules Museum in Berlin and frequent contributor to The New York Times/International Herald Tribune and other prescient periodicals.

Once you start reading this engaging tome, you won´t want to put it down until you are finished with it, then you will find yourself reading it again just in case you missed something. That is my personal criteria for an exceptional book. With chapters on Hadrian, Yukio Mishima and my fav Margaret Mead who the late scholar Jose Munoz called the Grand Duchess of inappropriate, self importance and grift.

There is also an award winning podcast called Bad Gays that you must subscribe to NOW!

One of this centuries most gifted fine artistes is the Canadian born, Los Angeles based Karen Lofgren. Of her many and varied talents she also creates specialty jewelry that is mind altering. She sent me a Silver Bobcat ring which I just adore. Her sculptural jewelry pieces remind me of the work of the late great jewelry designer Lee Brevard who crafted exquisite items especially for Michele Lamy and Elizabeth Taylor. Go to Karen´s website at www.Karenlofgren.net or find her on Instagram. One must support this kind of juicy talent.
