Warhol Factory Girl Ivy Nicholson Receives Superstar Award

NYC, The Gershwin Hotel—Ivy Nicholson has been famous ever since she graced the covers of Harper's Bazaar back in the 1950s (K48 issues #2 & 4) and then again when she was cast in several of Warhol's films, including Chelsea Girls—his most famous. Ivy had a very special and she would say somewhat romantic relationship with Andy... and according to Ivy, some of her magic actually help save Andy's life while he was in the hospital after Valerie's tragic meltdown that ended in the famous Factory bloodbath. Congrads Ivy! You are a survivor and a real superstar! You looked very glamorous last night in your agnes b. stripes and mini with your silver metalic manicure... screw rehab—have a drink!

Sweet Dreams Anna Nicole

Anna Nicole Smith 1967–2007

Anna Nicole was our Marilyn, not the real deal but the wanna be... our TV reality show cheap shot. She idolized Marilyn and copied her look and even emulated her death. She was like Marilyn's living fanzine. Did she take it too far? This is our American Idol today—you don't need a lot of talent—just a lot of money. Anna needed those $30,000 designer gowns and make-up artists... it was expensive being Anna Nicole—she had to look good. Just be the image—the product—like an imitation brand. Why did you deserve this? Why did you count? She wanted it soo badly. She was gonna be something someday. She did it. She got it. Anna was invented by herself but also by us—that is how celebrity happens. It's a tragic story—that we've heard and seen all before—and all that money can't bring her back. Daniel's death last fall was hard enough. Now this! And what about Dannie Lynn Hope?? I wonder if Anna knew who the real father was? I'm watching the newscasters and I can't feel anything and I don't think they do either... like, I want to feel sorry and I do but, it all feels more and more like a dream... is this The American Dream? I get soo confused sometimes but, it does make a good story and I'm definitely not the only blogger reporting on this tragic event. It's a media blitz. Anna Nicole wouldn't have it any other way. Lets have a big party. That's how she'd want us to remember her by. Life is a party. She was famous because we covered her. On her last day she’s BIG news. This is how we do celebrity in America today. Just what happened? Giving birth, son dies, you die… Exotic dancing Playboy. An uglier kind of celebrity. Sugar Daddy. It was dirty dish. TrimSpa baby. You looked good Anna. Sweet Dreams.

Miami Flashback

I finally picked up my 35s... dang, it sure is gettin expensive... coulda bought myself a digital camera... but, I like my Yashica T4... njoy these takin down in Miami back in Dec... (if you click on them, they'll get bigger and bigger is better).

Slava, Blabs & Geo... We all got pretty retarded at The Mansion for Slava's book signing party.

Brian Kenny calls a foul. The Mansion wouldn't let Geo or Avenue D perform... now that's pretty retarded if you ask me!

In the spotlight at A Current Affair—Mirror Miror



Geo gave us a private performance in Slava's hotel room.

This is Tim from Cologne on Collins...

Heart of Glass

Today I decided to skip Hogwarts and watch Werner Herzog's, Heart of Glass (1976). I really needed to detox from Telfar's fashion parties last night—will post my cellphone pix and the Solomon/Dustin fight video as soon as I figure out how to get them off my phone and onto my Mac. Heart of Glass takes place in a small 18th century village somewhere in the Kingdom of Bavaria. This film has some awesome nature scenes—to give the feeling of a pre-industrial landscape yet unharmed by man. The main character, Hais—a prophet cowherder and allegorical Hamlet—tells his village of their impending doom—which is meant to symbolize our own apocalyptic downfall through globalization. Everything he predicts comes true. The small village's economy is supported by a glass factory which specializes in making beautiful ruby red glass. When the owner dies and takes with him to the grave the formula for the red ruby glass, the village starts to fall to chaos. One of the raddest things that Herzog does is he hipmotizes the cast and all the actors look and act like zombies. This is one of his best films. So far I've seen Stroszek and Lessons of Darkness (which is like watching sci-fi of post Desert Storm buring oil fields). My friend Christophe Chemin (K48#6: Nomos) turned me onto this genius filmakers work. If you don't know it... check it out! He's latest film is Grizzly Man, 2005.

Vampire of the Vanities

Today at Hogwarts I got to meet Tom Wolfe. Here I am (looking very Draco Malfoy) with a little book of magic... a test shot for a photo shoot in Avery Library. Me and John Smock (the photographer) were taking a photo of Robert Stern who was with Mr. Wolfe. Tom had a bloody nose so I couldn't get a picture with him. He wore a white suit and a hat and a navy blue cape. He looked very dapper. I think I will read Bonfire of the Vanities next... and/or rent the movie with Tom Hanks & Melanie Griffith (speaking of witch, have you seen her lately?)—has anyone seen it? Is it good? And I want to read The Painted Word too. Today I finished reading In Cold Blood. Also, I finished the K48 music poster for the new issue...

In The Spot Light

Here are more pix from last Thursday's KOH event at the Whitney and at Deitch... all photos courtesy of Jimmi, of Jimmi and the Jimmi’s fame, (James Swain).
