Speaking in the Sentence Fragments of the Seratonin-Depleted
July 30, 2008 by Clint Catalyst · 12 Comments
So here I am, testing out this new blog. The Webmistress has introduced me to WordPress, so of course I wanna see what it’s all about.
However, Full Disclaimer:
On A Near-Daily Basis, People
Who’ve not so much as commented a single blog
“Contact Clint”; “Contact Clint”; “Contact Clint”
(fwd:, fwd:, fwd: from my website)
I can’t help but wonder: have these individuals
even taken the time to read/support a single work of mine
Yet here I am, expected to spend countless hours answering questions
On how to mend a broken heart, exactly
Which kind of bandages do they need
What’s the best brand that’ll make it all better, once
They rub away the sticky residue, everything will be fixed, right?
Right? They’ll get the answer; they’ll get The Happy Life
I’ve only tasted, but some illusion must provide—
Most people get “partly cloudy” and call it a bad day…
Me? I’m all tsunamis and cyclones, melting glaciers and
an ozone layer bruised,
areas burst wide open like
kneecaps French-kissing asphalt
this skin of mine, on a night so loaded
with spine-snap emotions, there’s not enough of me
to contain everything: all of this
RED ALERT
RED ALERT
Authorities urge I’m safer when viewed from afar
Though the awful truth is
I want your calm; I want to pull you in.
(visual art by Glenn Arthur)
*Thing is: I have to “own it”—sure, it’s lachrymose. It’s of the Things Are Very Serious school, the stacks-of-bipolar-poems strewn about. But here’s the deal: it’s not like me to hide what I fear might be mocked. I mean, I view it differently after 7 hours of zzzzs—though that doesn’t change the moment, the cheeks-burning-crimson over what developed, the cadence that’s captured in this emotional Polaroid.
Said another way? I meant it. Not really, but really meant it at the time.
Jared Gold Reveals Halloween Costume to Clint Catalyst Pt 1
July 29, 2008 by Clint Catalyst · 4 Comments
There’s some unfortunate ‘angles’ of me in this one (umm, yeah HI: Fatty McFatterson much?), but I’m determined to get the F over myself and showcase the details of Jared’s inimitable genius.
*THIS IS THE LONGER OF THE TWO VIDEO CLIPS, BUT SHOULD BE DROOL-WORTHY FOR FASHION FIENDS WHO APPRECIATE ATTENTION TO INTRICATE DETAIL.*
What I requested? (Translation = “what [the customer] ordered?”)
Bloodthirsty barber, circa ’99…
1899, that is.
Not “Sweeny Todd” specific, as
a) I can’t sing,
b) Look like a dungheap compared to Johnny Depp (since most folks associate the Sweenster with J.D. due to the most recent ‘take’ on Mr. Todd),
and
c) Wouldn’t want to be confined to a barber shop.
I mean, REALLY.
I’m uber-fagatronic in this footage– but hey, just another trait I’ve gotta ‘own,’ maing.
Besides, what’s key here is the CLOTHING…and accoutrements. // DIG IT

Tarina Tarantino’s Official Barbie Release Party
July 28, 2008 by Clint Catalyst · Leave a Comment
This news is a few days late (frickin’ deadlines…), but July 22, 2008 marks the official date for when I was “BUSTED!” (Busted Daily Dot Com) for my attire at Tarina Tarantino’s official Barbie doll release party. I’m a sicko; I know– but seriously: it fills my heart with glee:
A friend and I have joked that making the “Worst Dressed List” in one of those shit-rags is a lifetime goal—especially since the attire is almost always by my favorite designers—and while the site’s not on glossy pages in a grocery store check-out line, it’s one step closer…
Plus I’m with Maryse, Queen Bitch Supreme of the WWE—who’ss donning full-on retro Barbie look via a make-over by quite likely my FAVORITE designer, Jared Gold.
My pic comes up as #2 of 7… and who else made the list?
Margaret Cho
and Tarina Tarantino,
Two of my favorite people on the planet.
Proof/Pudding.
Riiiight?
Obviously, the site uses the term “Busted!” with a multitude of meanings, as complimentary things are written about both of them in separate areas.
All I have is my name credited, so I’m opting for “BUSTED!” in the worst sense of the word.
O.K., not very worst… but if you get the notion of something being ‘so bad it’s good,’ then I know you know what I mean.
And umm, I need to take it easy on the “naw mean,”
duly noted.
For party pics that aren’t among those on WireImage et al, have fun scroll scroll scrolling below!
The event itself was back on the 17th, but I’ve been smothered beneath a succession of work– hence the tardiness.
Otherwise, here are my “Thank God! I’m Validated!” swiped-and-watermarked:
with the adorable Audrey Kitching and Rich Royal
with Madeline Zima and the phenomenal Tarina Tarantino
(not my best shot — yes, I know)
but
LOOK UPON:
Alfonso Campos, Director and Hubby to Double T
Giddle Partridge, Musician and Proud Owner of Her Own Tarina Barbie
Reyna and Beatrice, Two of the Crew of Hotties at HairroinSalon.com
Kaiden Blake, Kaila Yu, Zachattack and Kit E. Katt (of HelloDrama.net)
Yeah, I Love Me Some ChoMo (Ditto on the Creepsuela Stiletto Mini Top Hats, Obviously…)
Much Admiration and Adoration for This One Here!
SOMEONE is LETTING US *HAVE IT…*
Tarina and WWE Diva Maryse, Enjoying “The Barbie Lifestyle”
Lenora Claire, Self-Proclaimed “Future Cult Icon” Is Hotter Than Her Hair!
Blogature on This Duo (Katt and Kaila of Hello Drama) Coming SOON!
Can’t Forget That Jared Gold and WWE Diva Maryse (Bedecked in a JG Original, Natch)…
Before Any Inappropriate Behavior
In the Dollhouse
Has Begun!
(This blog and the contents herein have not been approved by Mattel. After the accidental ‘Gay Ken’/Cock Ring Necklace mix-up, I do not foresee Barbie having any limp-wristed sidekicks in the near future.
Bitch is still fierce, though. I ain’t hate-crimin’! ♥)

Did you know I’m an expert on gay marriages?
I, uh…didn’t either.
But I’m quoted as such by TransWorldNews.com (and NO, not “that” kind of trans…but SO WHAT IF IT WAS?) in a legit news source, which means IT’S OFFICIAL, Em Effers!
http://www.transworldnews.com/NewsStory.aspx?id=54104&cat=1)
And here’s the article from the mag in which I would’ve never fathomed I’d appear:
The ‘Celebrity’ Issue of Wedding Dresses magazine
(PIC INCLUDED AND EVERYTHING!)
Don’t get me wrong: I’m grateful as Sweet F.A. to be featured in ‘their’ world… I just Never. Thought. It’d. Happen.
Still have massive blogature to post, but gotta bolt, like, IMMEDIATELY.
Thanks all! // Thanks y’all!

* The Autumns’ music video “Boys” (directed by Piper Ferguson)—in which I have a bitch-fight smack-down with Jeffree Star, among other things—has appeared on MTV2’s “Subterranean” several times now.
If you’re curious to see it on a screen larger than that of your monitor, check your local listings and confirm the time slot; then—I don’t know…wish really hard that it’ll be on while you’re tuned in. Fellow West Coast folks? It’s Saturday night, 11 in the p for us.
For instant gratification, however? Youtube.com, and then BLAM!
BIG THANKS TO ‘THE BOYS’ WHO CAST ME…and turned me into a fan through their music, *not* a paycheck.. [cue obnoxious smiley emoticon]

My life hasn’t been like a cyclone; it’s BEEN a cyclone.
Rather than bore you with gory details of all the assloads of work, deadlines, extra-curricular activities, et cetera –
HERE’S a newsworthy tidbit that’s been brought to my attention. (Kids, I’m sharin’ this one solely for the LULZ, mmm kay?)
I’m now cited as an example of what a “Scene King’ is on the site UrbanDictionary.com
( http://scene-kings.urbanup.com/3166795 )
Finally… My life has MEANING!
Fodder for an epitaph if there ever has been—though I want to be plastinated or shellacked when I kick it, not buried in the ground. Can’t you just see it? My forefinger extended, dressed in a dapper little suit and extravagant tophat?
I’d make such a great jacket holder (or umbrellas!) in some extravagant foyer.
A thought…

Sleep-deprived, eyes feel like my corneas have been fried by my monitor,
just spent something like a nine-hour span working on what
less than 15 minutes after my marathon of fingerprints
I’m already thinking was a lame concept to develop.
But enough with the waaaahmbulantastic “tl;dr”—
lemme get this outta the way instead:
As an art fag, yeah:
I’m backin it.

Because I adore the poopsmear outta her, I can’t help but give a big HOLLAH over their front page feature

Whatever the case, “Black Tears” is bitchen—& seeing a friend succeed makes me happy, indeed.
