Two people I think work well together

Both have what Rupaul would describe as Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent.

History of cool #3: Tilda Swinton

Or as D-listed put it, the alien goddess from planet Bowie.


She calls people "dude" and says she's "a man of my word":




this one is from Jarman's Wittgenstein, referencing Nijinska by Man Ray




Death proofing me softly

Subi just saw "Death Proof" yesterday for the first time, so I had the joy of watching it again. I think it's the best thing madame Tarantino shot. The way it lifts you up at the end is exactly what I wanna figure out how to do with my own theatrical shit.

This scene for example is so amazing.

And here's a little shout out I found on Youtube to the editor (yet another proof to support the argument I'm sticking with for years already: the guy is a real feminist):

History of cool #1: Josephine Baker

Starting a new in-blog series exploring the history of cool.

Haraway's Manifestos

I'm working on this beautiful text now by Donna Haraway called "the Companion Species Manifesto". Haraway, who in the 80's wrote the groundbreaking "Cyborg Manifesto", became at the turn of the millennium more and more interested in animals, and especially dogs. At some point she writes: "I tell stories about stories, all the way down. Woof."
How wonderful!

Luckily, both these texts are available online for free: The Old School Cyborg Manifesto (with the kick-ass ending "I would rather be a cyborg than a goddess") is here and the newer "Companion Species" one is here.

I say war

She was too fucking cool
