H.R. Giger “There’s a photograph of artist H.R. Giger holding his 1980 Oscar for Visual Effects (Alien, 1979) while wearing souvenir Mickey Mouse ears that he got at nearby Disneyland before the awards ceremony. Refusing to take the hat off, Giger stares ahead with dark, stubborn eyes wearing a white choker band, and a black button-down shirt, while holding the new Oscar at his chest. In silhouette he’s something like a symmetrical monster with big round ears; bionic hood ornament. The son of a Swiss chemist, Giger had gone Hollywood.” —Stephanie La Cava and to add a lil cherry on-top; Disney buys Fox which owns Alien franchise. This self-awareness of the power of one’s imagery—of its ability to engage in the production and dispersal of aesthetic viruses—constitutes both a challenge and a threat to the centralized models of power that systems like Hollywood both generate and operate within.

Look how fucking pretty my Verso Books haul is.

The prose is pretty too of course, but the cool fold over paperback covers are easier for me, barely literate goon, to appreciate.

hi! regarding that ''get more out of life, read a fucked up book'' post you reblogged, could you please give some recommendations for fucked up books?

Fucked up books I've read and would recommend:

A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G. Summers

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara*

Animal by Lisa Taddeo**

Bunny by Mona Award

Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk

Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado**

Fucked up books I've read and would not recommend:

American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis. I've read it twice and found it incredibly boring, but that may say more about me than it does about the book.

#* I almost can't in good conscience be the one to recommend this to anyone. #** Low on the fucked up scale but on there. #I have many probable fucked up books on my TBR but I will have to read them before I can confirm that they are indeed fucked up. #books

9 Favorite Films I Watched in 2023

For @occidentaltourist.

The Green Knight (2021, dir. David Lowery). My favorite film I watched this year. Utterly gorgeous. I love the original story of Gawain and the Green Knight and I love the twist this film puts on the tale. The ending is amazing.

Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022, dir. Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert). A fantastic movie. Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Stephanie Hsu delivered showstopping performances. Funny, heartfelt, and ambitious. I loved it. (Plus: Racaccoonie!!!)

Chicago (2002, dir. Rob Marshall). Wow! I'd heard "Cell Block Tango" before but never seen the full movie. It's an incredible production and such a fun story.

My Cousin Vinny (1992, dir. Jonathan Lynn). Just an all-around great movie. Marisa Tomei was amazing in this.

Beverly Hills Cop (1984, dir. Martin Brest). Unexpectedly good and funny. And "Axel F" is a great piece of music.

Blazing Saddles (1974, dir. Mel Brooks). A brutally funny movie. Classic Mel Brooks.

Fargo (1996, dir. Joel Coen and Ethan Coen). Such an interesting movie -- at times oddly funny and at times oddly sad.

The Truman Show (1998, dir. Peter Weir). I'm not a big fan of Jim Carrey, but this is quite a good movie. I especially loved the random ad reads. I also love endings where characters escape the narrative itself. Very Utena-core.

My Man Godfrey (1936, dir. Gregory La Cava). Is this movie "good"? Debatable. Is it the craziest thing I watched this past year? Yes, and for that reason and also because I just didn't watch that many movies in 2023, it gets the coveted #9 spot on this list.

No-pressure tagging @cassphos, @nocticola, @02511213942, @boyvandals, and anyone else who wants to do this. :)

#thank you for tagging me!!! #the thing with feathers

Stephanie LaCava on Ed Ruscha’s Metro Mattresses

The following is from a letter Ed Ruscha wrote on February 25, 1966 to John Wilcock, a publisher who asked Ruscha to write about his books:

The only thing I can say about my books is that I have a certain blind faith in what I am doing… I am 28 and am mainly a painter (in Ferus stable). One important thing is that I do not cherish the print quality of a photograph. To me the pictures are only snapshots with only an average attention to clarity. The only distributor I have is Wittenborn’s in N.Y.C. They will actually buy a certain amount of books without consignment…

This is a charming prologue to an exemplary career. Fifty years later, it’s difficult to get a hold of Ruscha's early books, and impossible save for a certain price. The books Ruscha made in the 60s and 70s are largely credited with a reinvention of the genre. They all feature photographs: images of gas stations, small fires, swimming pools, palm trees, cacti, LA apartments, buildings or parking lots, Dutch bridges, babies or film stills, and Ruscha’s record collection. 

Unlike the others, Ruscha’s latest book, Metro Mattresses, features no photographs. Inside are twelve reproductions of the acrylic and pencil mattresses rendered on museum board paper as they were shown at last year’s Metro Mattresses exhibition. Ruscha and I emailed about Metro Mattresses last December, on his 79th birthday.

STEPHANIE LACAVA: Is there an implied narrative in the mattresses?  

ED RUSCHA: There is no story line with the arrangement of images in the book.  These mattresses began catching my attention as I moved around the city, especially Hollywood.  They became my “clown” paintings.  Clown paintings, in general, might be universally detested for what they are, but I began seeing mattresses as sad, and yet humorous subjects like clowns.

SLC: Why not photos of the mattresses?

ER: A shift from photographs to painted images gave me a vision of another kind.  The images were pampered with paint rather than with a camera.  However, this left the book with a feeling of street objects being interpreted within the confines of a studio rather than being grabbed from the street itself.

SLC: What do you think is most vital and important about artist's making books? Has this changed since you began your practice?

ER: I am wide awake when I see artist books. Here are people using actual ink on paper in the eventual age of total digital.  For this reason I am retaining my hope and expectation of more books.

on temporary detachments

When I was a young child, maybe 3 or 4 years old, I remember being obsessed with a particular yellow blanket. It was the most ideal blanket a child could ever ask for.  If I estimated the perimeter, it may have been 3″ x 3″ – perfect for my tiny body. The blanket was different colors on both sides – one side a pale banana yellow, the other a strong custard. The trim was a cream satin approximately two inches thick in width. The softness factor = like being wrapped around a cotton candy cloud.  It was that ideal.

I remember never going to bed without it, wrapping it around me wherever I went (even if I was outside), and nibbling on the corners because I liked the odd taste.  I loved that blanket so much that even when I went to the Philippines for the first time with my family, my mom had to cut a square of that blanket to take with me on the plane. The last memory I had of the blanket was on the plane, holding onto it tightly because I was scared of being on such a frighteningly large and unfamiliar contraption.

Today, that blanket is gone.  It’s amazing to think about the objects we grow so attached to at such a young age and the detachment process that comes with it.  It’s very similar to Stephanie La Cava’s An Extraordinary Theory of Objects.  Objects defined and suffocated her and became an excuse for her self-proclaimed strangeness.  However, she had to learn to disassociate herself from those objects in order to fully “grow up”.  Like the blanket, I had many objects that I grew attached to but slowly detached myself from as I moved onto the next best thing.  It scares me to think how easy it was to detach myself from something I loved more than anything at that period in time.

There is a different kind of detachment I am learning about now though. It’s a detachment that can be temporary only if you want it to be.  The detachment is temporary because you’re also clinging onto every possible lifeline there is for it to remain, even though it has all the potential in the world to be taken away from you.  When you’re a child, you don’t realize how important these things are and they ultimately become warm memories.  However, as an adult you are fully and mentally capable of remembrance.  As an adult, you want to hold onto those things that make you feel alive and happy because well, damn, life is too short.

It is terrifying when external factors or even, destiny or fate, decide to throw a couple of curve balls to make you question your attachment to certain things in the first place.  When you feel close to something, but know that it can’t potentially be there forever for whatever reason – it’s a frightening thought.  Especially, if you really like those things because they are helping you become the best version of yourself.

My co-worker was telling me that I have to learn how to temporarily detach myself from these special things that could potentially be gone forever, so it won’t be painful if it ever does get to the point of permanent detachment.

My problem?  I don’t want that to happen.  I want to make sure that those things that make feel alive are with me as long as humanly possible because, really, life is too damn short.

Estimados lectores, en nuestro ineludible compromiso de denunciar ante el mundo entero los nombres de los guiseros y enchufados boliburgueses, y llevarles a ustedes la verdad de esta corrupta cúpula que dice que nos gobierna, a continuación, les traemos el nombre y los guisos de otro testaferro que se ha dado la buena vida a costa del hambre y el sufrimiento de los venezolanos.

Se trata de Eduardo Fernández Pineda, testaferro de Jesús Farías, el ministro para el Comercio Exterior e Inversión Internacional. Fernández Pineda ha logrado enormes contratos con una empresa maletín llamada “Inversiones Fuenmayor Rosario”, que se ha guisado sus jugosos contratos como “constructor” y “proveedor” de la caja chica por excelencia del Gobierno, PDVSA, y para muestra un botón. En el Registro Nacional de Contratistas aparece la empresa registrada, pero “Inhabilitada” para contratar con el Estado. Además, un detallito, posee una “Nómina Promedio Anual” de dos personas. Algo bastante sospechoso para ser una empresa “constructora” en un país en donde no se permite la tercerización.

Sin embargo, ese no es el escándalo más notable del señor Fernández Pineda. Su principal guiso está en las más de 50 mil motos cava que le prometió al país, de las cuales solo vimos una. En julio de 2016, ya incluso en plena crisis y escasez de alimentos y medicinas, Fernández Pineda y el ministro Jesús Farías, tramitaron la “venta” de 50 mil motos cava al Ministerio de Agricultura y Tierra.

Entonces, el gobierno nacional prometió realizar actos de entrega de las motos y la noticia de que llegaron, recorrió el país entero, pero solo se vio una. Los allegados más cercanos a estos dos guiseros corruptos, llaman la operación las “Cavas de Oro”, la cual fue tramitada a través de su empresa registrada en China con el nombre de “International Trading Company” (Compañía de Comercio Internacional -muy originales-), con la cual realizaron la millonaria “compra” o, mejor dicho, con los reales de los venezolanos que se terminaron embolsillando. Cabe destacar además que esto buscaba “impulsar” el sector agroalimentario y la “Feria del Pescado” como parte de los 15 motores de la Agenda Económica Bolivariana.

Además aquí también les traemos algunas otras imágenes en donde hasta el entonces vicepresidente Aristóbulo Istúriz, también sale gozando de los guisos. Y no se pierdan el video del “acto de entrega” de las 50 mil motos. ¿Alguien las ha visto?

Para cerrar con broche de oro, además conocimos que Eduardo Fernández Pineda fue absuelto por la Fiscalía Novena en el año 2005, por la millonaria estafa conocida como “la vuelta”. La verdad es que el bandido tiene todo un prontuario de estafas en su historia como “hombre de negocios”, pues posee también un jugoso contrato de importación de insumos médicos a través de la empresa llamada “Importadora y Distribuidora Médica Multiossigen Venezuela, C.A.”. Y ya conocemos cómo está el estado actual de desabastecimiento de medicinas en el país, en más del 80%.

Con esta empresa, Fernández Pineda se ha convertido en uno de los “principales proveedores” de insumos médicos del país, pero igual como pasó con las motos, la “compra” se realiza, pero nunca llega al país. Es decir, el “hombre de negocios” literalmente se ha lucrado a costa del sufrimiento, las enfermedades y las muertes de los venezolanos, como consecuencia de la escasez de medicinas, insumos médicos y el general estado deplorable del sector salud.

Finalmente, la estocada final: Eduardo Fernández Pineda, junto con su socio Carlos Morillo, recientemente fueron beneficiados con la “adjudicación” de dólares a través del Consejo Nacional de Economía Productiva, en el rubro de “proveedores” para el denominado… “CLAP pesquero”. Los famosos CLAP, la actual fuente principal de los guisos de todos los enchufados y boliburgueses de este corrupto “Gobierno”.

Es decir, el hombre se mete sus buenos reales desde los “mejores” rubros económicos del país para guisar: importación de bienes (seguramente a sobreprecio) como las motos, insumos médicos y alimentos. Los dos últimos, áreas críticas del país a donde seguro van a ir los reales, lo que pasa es que no los vamos a ver.

Y para terminar, vean aquí su lujosa vida, disfrutando de viajes exóticos a China, fiestas para las que se atavía de costosos trajes y pare usted de contar…

Kabinet

Neighbourhood coffee house by day, cocktail bar by night. Specializing in gins and amaros, Kabinet immerses you in an intimate ambiance inspired by imperial Russia. Go before 8 p.m. because after, the bar fuses with next-door Datcha and the din amplifies.

Mayfair cocktail bar

Mayfair is a bonafide cocktail bar, but it’s also a tea salon that serves alcoholized blends. We love the romantic ambiance that makes us want to rush home and pull on our poshest clothing before ordering a High Society, a sweet mix of vodka and sherry.

Pour de la couleur, demandez un cocktail #rougegorgemtl

Maison Boulud

The Ritz-Carlton’s chic bar is reputed for its signature cocktail, the Cosmopolitain de l’Orient, which is garnished with a sphere of ice. It’s an artful blend of vodka, Cointreau, ginger infusion, coriander and white cranberry juice—and absolutely sublime.

Taverne Square Dominion

Make a date in this heritage space in the city’s Golden Square Mile to sip a Pimm’s Cup or a Mint Julep. Its tastefully revamped decor makes you feel like you’ve traveled back in time.

Maggie Oakes

At the bar of the Hôtel William Grey, mixologist Jason William Griffin works quiet magic with his shaker. His reinvented martini has people across the city flocking here to taste it.
