At the Dildo Interpretation Centre

On my trip to Dildo I visited the local Dildo Interpretation Centre, which is basically a small museum with all things Dildo.

They have old fishery reports from 1894 one can study, a huge whale skeleton and lots of other interesting nick-nacks. I spent hours wandering through their exhibition grounds. It felt like being part of a lost fantasy world. Truly amazing.

Dirty Blonde

I can’t wait to get my hands on Courtney Love’s Diary. According to amazon.com it is scheduled for October 31. This is going to be my new bedtime reading.

For all things Courtney, be sure to check moonwashedrose.com. They have news on her next album, which is produced by Linda Perry and should be out before the end of the year. First single is “Letter To God” with a video to be shot by Brett Ratner. Of course, we all know him for his work on the Mariah videos Heartbreaker, It’s Like That and We Belong Together (amongst others).

Reality or Concept?

What was going on at the Paradise Garage? I found the picture below in the booklet of this release. I was a bit puzzled. Why is there a huge Robin Williams album cover at Larry Levan’s dj booth?

Now here comes the nerdy part. I googled Robin Williams to find our more about this. It is actually the artwork of Robin Williams’ 1979 comedy album, Reality…What A Concept. Not sure, if I should give it a listen, but I’m intrigued.

Still, the only funny Robin Williams is the spoof of Patch Adams in Cecil B. Demented.

Susan Cianciolo

For a few years, Superschum and friends organized a small party truck for the gay pride parade in Frankfurt. All the people involved in the party wore the same t-shirt. One year, the theme was Role Model and everyone could choose their own role model to be printed on the shirt.
Toffi and I are still sad, that we both didn’t choose Mariah, we should have gotten the Rainbow album cover on our shirts. But that’s another story.

Anyway, my dear friend Steffi chose Susan Cianciolo as her Role Model. Steffi sometimes did clothes and patchwork blankets, so Susan was an inspiration to her. Now, I finally heard about her again.

Susan Cianciolo does a fashion line for Cone Denim. The designs will be on display at Sears Peyton Gallery in New York (210 11th Ave., Suite 802) from Sept 6 to 20 and in L.A. afterwards. (via papermag)

I am very curious about this and wish I could make it. Hope to get some pictures soon.
