Bruce LaBruce's photographs, dirty memes which (for me) exist in that wonderfully temporary and shifting space of desire/revulsion, are probably my favorite in that medium. I am completely pissed that I missed the New York premier of his latest work The Rasberry Reich at New Fest earlier this month, I was totally asleep at the wheel.
On the positive side B.la.B has a blog up on his (redesigned) site, while he seems not to like writing in it very much, it has some funny, agreeable stuff up. Hopefully it will continue. I was particularly infatuated with this post, an excerpt; "Ever since Madonna, who is counter-revolutionary, uttered the immortal sound bite, "Alternative? Isn't that another word for unpopular?", anyone who professes not to want to become uber-famous, not to desire to become an A-lister basking in the adoration of great swathes of unwashed proles, is merely a failed celebrity, a has-not-become, a mediocrity who can't cut it in the fame game. How sad-making. Kind of makes you want to find a Spider Hole somewhere and crawl in." I both agree with him and plead guilty to the charge of sometimes possessing the attitude he vilifies.
