2007...............2008

I resolve not to do that Hollywood thing when you hug someone you don't actually like.

Who Needs lights when you have the Peanuts

Dog Eared

It's difficult to sleep after a sit 'n spin performance especially when it's the holiday extravaganza with holiday party following it. My head is full of visuals and songs about pledging your virginity to daddy. And then I wake up every post SnS thinking it's Saturday and then a few minutes go by and I say Fuck! it's Friday.

I have blogged here about this next subject before - I'm not going to link it, I'm too fuzzy to get into that - but a certain celebrity continues to bemuse me whenever he shows up to the SnS. With dog. Last night he came in late during the opening number and he is shown to a front row seat - directly in front of me - with his poodle in tow. It's annoyingly distracting. Not only to those around him but to the people on stage. At some point he puts the dog on leash and lets her walk about, as long as the lead reaches.
Entitlement. I'm up to here with entitlement.
And he doesn't give a shit. And nobody bothers to tell him to give a shit because well, then maybe he wouldn't show up and frankly he doesn't give a shit.

Later at the party the dog is wandering, engulfed by two hundred people - four hundred legs - and finally gets freaked out and is swooped up by a friend of said celeb. Oh, sweet pea.

Nonetheless, aside from that frivolity there were other folks to watch and be A-mused by. Bill Maher, Paul Schaefer, Kato Kaelin - who drilled me, making sure I knew how to spell his last name so I could email him pictures - and Chuck E. Weiss who always makes for good conversation and point blank observations that make me cackle.

It was a memorable one. And at least for once, I didn't step in any dog shit.
Just unsuccessfully tried to ignore it.

"Some Boys"

Though I finished this commission piece in August, I can only now unveil it as it was finally delivered this week. It was purchased by a record producer for longtime client and mogul Jordan Shur.
"Some Boys" is made with a wood frame, six canvases, bottle caps, ink jet photos, oil pastels, silver leaf & transfer film. And maybe stuff I'm forgetting.

It was good fun to create - I fell in love with the Stones all over again and during the assemblage, I had an accident with a glass of wine and Keith got dowsed. Appropriately.
