the role of the writer It was during that moment when my chest turns into an open space, an interminable length of time when it seems like a panel of chain-link fence gets peeled back, lies in wait for a surge of emotions to slip inside.
Then. Just as my mouth rearranged itself around the poem’s final words— “A wad/of cold sheets/on my bed”—it was then, when I no longer recognized my voice but rather the blink of silence following. That’s when I noticed him.
I’m sure I stood frozen in some exaggerated pose, arms akimbo or even more likely, right hand extended with a copy of Cottonmouth Kisses still perched in the air, armor to shield me from what would or wouldn’t happen next. Applause. The immediacy of approval every performer yearns for, even and especially those who claim they don’t.
Then came the clamor of acclamation, the sounds of hands clapping, of slurred hurrahs and a high-pitched whistle. My cue to step from the stage not really a stage in this home not exactly a “home” as I knew it, but a geodesic dome.
For a hot second, our eyes met. His: dark, with a sparkle that followed when I looked away. Not as in “tracers,” the stuff of flash-backs, symptoms from drugs with consonants for names.
More like: as I navigated my way to Pedro, Wash and Richard—the few people I knew at this hormone-charged salon with “Boys” as its motif—the text of my body was besieged with active verbs and question marks.
Would I dare to venture upstairs with him?
Despite its cred as the white-hot center of Where Art Lives, I recognized this dome from another context. Recently I’d seen The Hole, a skin flick in which the final scene culminates in a luscious free-for-all on the top floor.
I’d heard whispers of a similar scenario happening in medias res, and as much as I tried to listen to the performer who followed me, it was. I was. Hard. With that beautiful boy, little more than an arm’s reach away.
My imagination is active; though my physique at the time? Puffy, post-speed flab that rendered me uncomfortable in the flesh I inhabited.
And my skin? Remained clothed, not “ho”ed out, as I wish it would’ve been.
I didn’t even introduce myself to that spiky-haired little number, let alone coax him into my own take on the Triple-X.
Thin and long-limbed: same as the memory I have of him, stretched-out. Three? Four? Has it been five years since then?
All this time, and I still see his caramel-hued complexion screened in my mind. A story of me, a beautiful boy, and what might have been. Really not so much a story, as it is.
The description of an absence.

A choice you’re hereby offered the opportunity?

young directors What? Like, You Thought I’d Forgotten Or Something?
No such luck.
I’m just a tease.
Wait–SCRATCH! I’ve just been holding back to make this post “stand out from the pack.”
Yeah, that’s it…
Actually, since “L.A. Fashion Week” happened in various mutations this fall–What do we have now…three per season? Can’t. Keep. Up.–I thought it might be nice to take a look back at runway shots from the
Gold vs. Petker
event
on 07/30/09.
Except this time? I’ll do so with
Less gab; more GORGEOUNESS.
(How about that, then?)
From Miss Kitching
a resounding “Yes, please!”
So…that being said, here’s
actor Daniel Franzese
Burlesque bombshell Ava Garter
who set the stage for the show to kick off
(with a lethal stiletto, bless her heart! )
While
In the interim, “90210″ hottie Annalynne
had a show of her own goin’ on,
essentially
*Cue Smiley-Face Emoticon*
as she waited front-row for her sister
The latest of ‘The McC Girls’
as a media darling: Angel McCord
who conquered the catwalk like a pro…
O.K., some of you might recall my adulation over
Joshua Petker’s painting “Hunting for Witches” a while back?
(Be it yay or nay, here’s a reference for your ‘Quick & Easy’…)
Well, spot-check the detail of how it translated to fabric:
Mr. Gold’s stitch-witchery paired with Petker’s inimitable technique,
then ’suited & booted’ by McCord’s searing Buffalo Stance?
Stellar. Zenith.
S U B L I M E!
:: Smoocheroonies to you, Angel! ♥ ::
And on the tip of ’sublime,’
it’d be criminal of me to not include
one of the most adept catwalk-stalkers in Los Angeles,
(impeccably-manicured) hands’ down!
I’m talkin’ about
Amanda Fields
Of course, a Jared Gold show wouldn’t be complete
