Dita Von Teese: When Fantasy Comes To Fruition

Here's one from the vaults, though

timeless, all the same—

from the (defunct) LA Alternative Press,

an interview with an individual who

exemplifies the art of transformation,

an art of poise & refinement pitched

in a pronouncement as seismic as an earthquake:

one in which dreams are alchemized through

no mastery other than "being herself"… a mastery

of person/persona.  ☆ Her Own Creation ☆

Oh, & re: the bleach-blond nod to Billy Idol

No. I didn't...

Three Cheers for Celluloid Premieres & Flaming Queers! (HURRAH!)

So yeah, June? June's a busy month 'round the Clintsville.

Apart from my hustle peddlin' word at The Poetry Brothel and collaborating with Paris Sadonis and Zoetica Ebb for a special performance at Salt Lake City's Dark Arts Festival 2010,

this month I'm honored to be part of two feature-length premieres.

✷ (And yes, I plan on being at both events!) ✷

Up first, we've got

"just another" genre-hopping, stop-motion animation experiment in contemporary celluloid communications, interspersed with...

Salt Lake City: Beware!

Didja notice how the previous blog post ("Mark Your Calendars…")

Began with the phrase

✷ EVENT ONE  of  TWO ✷ ?

Well, it just so happens that

✷ EVENT TWO of TWO ✷

is an "out-of-town"er, which I'm stoked about:

Oh, SLC—you sizzling center of the DI ♡
Over the course of the last decade, I've descended upon you as a spoken word performer, actor,
M.C.—for Black Chandelier/Jared Gold, as well as for the Dark Arts...

Oh Yes: Mark Your Calendars, I Said!

✷ EVENT ONE  of TWO ✷

Saturday, June 5, 2010 (West Hollywood, CA)

Catalyst and the stunning Julia Voth are the "featured readers" for Los Angeles' incendiary new spoken word series: The Poetry Brothel.

This month's theme is "The Best Little Whorehouse In Los Angeles."

The Vitals:

Firearms. Phallic symbols. High fashion.

The Dark Side Of Fantasy/Fantasizing The Dark.

Or, in the words of fashion editor Panos Yipanis—who styled

Steven Klein's provocative editorial for

issue 30 of  Arena Homme Plus —the title

"Games & Restrictions, Candy, Twilight & Guns" was chosen…

which, considering the theme for this 15 year anniversary commemorative was "Hard Times!"

begs the question: "Double entendre much?"

★ ☆ ★

At any rate, I'm by no means the first to have admired the cinematic quality of Mr. Klein's photography, but

when one...

UK up against the .CA (as per Amazon.ca, that is!)

so yeah, yeah, yeah…I'm a goob when it comes to contests;

what of it?!   ;D

Here's the deal:

Mildred Von Hildegard's Twitter bio might seem terse to some, pretentious to others. Whereas in my case? The concise and brutally honest description made me that much more intrigued about meeting and collaborating with her this Saturday past.

Welcome To The Tenth Circle: "Hello Kitty" Hell

So here's the deal: The Hello Kitty thing?

I'm just. Not. Into. It.

Matter of fact, my aversion to the mouthless creature has steadily swollen—not unlike her head— over the years.

It's not just because the creature's  a scene-o-type as overplayed as Fall Out Boy's greatest hits

(ditto, tiaras—leave 'em to Quinceneras, Scenario Dawson: what do you think this is, 2007?);

nor is it the result of the anti-feminist mentality in which she's so flagrantly mired

(the fact that...
