Angels and Others

An exhibit by artists Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese is both angering and amusing visitors to the New York Public Library. Members of the Bush administration are featured in satirical mugshots, holding placards with the date each of them stated something "incriminating" about the Iraq war, according to the New York Daily News : "The installation includes audio clips of the administration members - complete with the sound of a flashbulb popping and a prison door slamming." Matthew Walter, director of communications for the state GOP, told the paper, "It is simply inappropriate to have political attack art, in the form of egregious doctored photographs of the President and other high-ranking officials who have dedicated their lives to public service, in a taxpayer-funded building frequented by schoolchildren and the general public." Raw Story reports : "Ligorano and Reese are well known for their political art: 'Line Up (2004-5), their series of p...

Thanks Bill, wherever you are.

We know it's a little early for holiday music but we couldn't help ourselves . That's right kids it's everybody's favorite Dutch "man band" Bear Force 1 making the yule tide gay and wishing you a Hairy Christmas. sorry

This Bowie mugshot was snapped in Rochester, New York following the singer's March 1976 arrest on a felony pot possession charge. Bowie, 29 at the time, was nabbed along with Iggy Pop and two other codefendants at a Rochester hotel following a Saturday concert. Bowie was held in the Monroe County jail for a few hours before being released. The Rochester Police Department mug shot was taken three days after Bowie's arrest, when the performer appeared at City Court for arraignment. The photo was provided to TSG by a Rochester man who is seeking to sell the one-of-a-kind image." via The Smoking Gun

Last year we told you the sordid tale of Bucky the pug . Bucky was forced to wear a Yoda costume just to amuse his so called owner. Sadly we report that this year we've found even more instances of E.P.C (Embarrassing Pet Costumes) the brutal evidence is below. Two German breeds? Sick Luaus are fun. For this little dog the Luau is IN HELL! And lastly... Oh my god Pat Robertson was right.

Straight English rugby union player Ben Cohen wants to let his gay fans know how much he appreciates their support. His rep tells Outsports : "Ben is currently in the middle of his testimonial year celebrating the last 10 years of his rugby career. He understands that a high proportion of his fans are gay and to thank them for their constant loyalty through good and bad times he is planning a gay night celebration in London in March. Full details will be announced later this year." Gee I wonder why "a high proportion of his fans are gay "? Hmmmmm

A pumkin carol to wish you all a Happy Halloween. Thanks to D.C.

This is the way it has always worked: the gays move into shitty neighborhood and clean it up. Then eventually they grow old and move in with each other and possibly get dogs and babies and then, by this point, we straights have come in. Eventually ugly stores are built by straight people and the gays go. Then the gays—who have a much better skills than any of those idiots currently moving further and and further out on the J train—don't have neighborhoods anymore, but they don't really care, and their nutty gaytopian communities become, well, the West Village. Or the Castro! And so then the annual Castro Halloween party gets canceled and therefore the Times declares the Gayborhood to be dead. Oddly enough for a pseudo-'gentrification' story, the Castro shindig party was canceled not because there are now too many babies and Pottery Barns but because last year someone shot nine people. Also there have been rapes and racial profiling and people kicking people with AIDS ...

This week's selection from the super cool blog Jesus of the Week . Forget about tortillas and pieces of toast we're talking J.C. everywhere.

The very angry “lady” is CRYSTAL LABEIJA the founding mother of the Legendary House of LaBeija and she’s a tad miffed that the younger, prettier ,pouttier (but not nearly as fabulous) Harlow has won. She expressing her concern to pageant organizer Sabrina over the evenings turn of events. Legendary Darling, Legendary!

We can only imagine what the pitch for this Japanese children’s show must have been. "Ok, a gun toting octopus and a summer squash fall in love with the same pink walrus and hi-jinks ensue. The scary thing is that knowing how harsh Japanese drug laws are the people who made this had not just eaten a full sheet of blotter.

Sorry we haven't posted in a while. It's truly been a rough couple of weeks. Not only are we over work we're also feeling very old. And then right in the middle of our little pity party we saw the brand new video from Siouxsie, Into a Swan . The song is great,the look is nice a freaky and Siouxsie is gorgeous! We don't think a music video has made us feel quite so young since we were...well...young. Kisses

Ok.So Marcel was not our kind of mime. He was however truly great. Au revoir Monsieur.

In the October Harper’s magazine Garret Keizer, in the Notebook pages, calls for a general strike on November 6, 2007 across the country. It's an amazing piece of writing and a really good idea.
