Playing around with inversions of the GOLDEN GRAY artwork. Might end up doing a larger work like this, not sure what I’d do with it. A poster maybe? I can’t thank Amy enough for letting us use the original image. It’s given me art for the whole campaign. In other news, fall is in the air. Hellooooo, jacket weather.
Did you know Todd has been writing and producing since the late nineties? I remember when we lived together back in Somerville, MA and I could hear him and Joe working through my bedroom wall. New tracks are happening for the first time in years and they feel like returning heros to me. This face melter is called “Tomato Fight.” It’s off Todd’s last solo record, Let Me Know You Got Home OK.
As I write I’m looking out at the Aegean. I’m in Turkey and I can see Greece. The weather is perfect, the water clear blue. Forgot my camera in Brooklyn, don’t care. Not a good enough photographer anyway. Here’s Pacino and Deniro. Good things, pairs.
The Times published an article on the growing interest in past lives and past life work in America today. My teacher and friend, Janet Cunningham was quoted in the piece. Janet has been doing past-life work for over 30 years. She’s written many books on the subject, teaches all over the world and is the President of the International Board for Regression Therapy.
Greetings from Turkey! Here training to receive my certification as a regression therapist. Wild stuff! Today I guided a young lady into what may or may not have been a past-life 500 years ago where she was a male warrior imprisoned for a crime she did not commit. And get this, she didn’t hurt anybody. It was for something she said. Heavy.
More Duchess Leo news soon! Happy Wednesday!
Writer and pal Nitsuh breaks it down in the finest film endorsement I’ve read all year.
So we went and saw STEP UP 3 IN 3D!!!, and here is my important opinion on it: basically, that shit was straight-up magical. I have not seen any of the other recent 3D stuff, because I am not super “into” movies or something. But when your use of 3D involves, like, Twitch and Kendra Andrews leaning out over the front seats and popping and locking up in my face, then yes, I would risk a thousand headaches for that.
The best thing about this movie is the way its creators have realized that a dance movie is much better if it’s actually a superhero movie, only with dancing instead of fighting. So this takes place in the kind of comic-book New York where Moose (from #2) can break off from an NYU tour group and stumble into a critical dance battle in Washington Square Park. (Ridiculous — I walk through that park twice a day, and I wind up involved in like one battle a month, tops.) Also Red Hook is basically like Mad Max with crumping. But so anyway Moose meets a handsome young guy who’s basically a dancing G.I. Joe with less personality, and he’s whisked off to the secret lair where a crew of dance X-men train, and like … there’s a scene early on where he’s in a hallway being snuck up on by wall-climbing ninjas, and you momentarily fear for his safety, until you remember that all the villains really want to do is dance at him.
