Were the 90's really better?

Unfortunately, I'm starting to join those who think so

Latrice Morhafuckin Royale

I couldn't possibly encapsulate the greatness of this queen, so two lovely gifs (found on this blog dedicated to her glory) will do:

Fire in my belly by David Wojnarowicz

Another unexpected turn the day took. The Video consists of two films: Wojnarowicz's piece titled "Fire in my belly" (1986-7) and another excerpt that didn't make it to the tim, which he defined as a work in progress. I recommend the first one, it's much more interesting and evocative, in a very simple, direct way but still somehow with a very nice touch to it.

and you thought they didn't like gay guys in Jamaica

Some more VHS quality imagery

Continuing the nostalgic wave, here is what YouTube claims to be Madonna's first performance. Whether it's true or not, it is quite cool. I'm not sure what i like best: the set, the choreography or the supporting gays. Actually, I am sure: the gays. Especially the tall one.



It also reminds me a little bit of this:

Leigh Bowery in d'Offay Gallery, 1988

This is one of Bowery's projects I didn't know before seeing this documentary about the gorgeous genius, made by his friend and collaborator Charles Atlas. He spent a week in the Anthony d'Offay gallery space, locked up behind a two-way mirror and dressed in some of his magnificant, iconic looks. The result is something like Marina Abramovic meets Grace Jones on the set of a Jodorowski film.

 

Unintentional reactions turned poetry

This is like the 2 girls 1 cup reaction videos, only much, much better!

And speaking about unintentional reactions to audio-visual stimulation, I have to acknowledge these fantastic four:

Foolin

Writing a paper about Kierkegaard, I find myself once again spending considerable amount of time at the computer, which of course means considerable youtube time, which brought me back to this one:

I love it!

Mark Ronson + Boy George =

the lovely Ida reminded me of this video today. There's apparently nothing too special about it but somehow I really like it. Something about the combination of the VHS and the "Girl George" seems to work. Also the fact that this straight Ronson is truly gay friendly is very cool.

really?

this is funny

First time

I wonder if every day there's some first time happening.
Today was the first time I experienced gay-related discrimination. Schubi and I went hand-in-hand in one of the crappy cheap doner/pizza places in our street to get some fast pizza and remarkably enough the guy there was out of spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes and cheese. Kinda funny but also not cool.
