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 Festival—but never,
never this:

(Dare we venture use so audacious a phrase as ‘performance artist’?)

Well, considering I just referred to myself by the Royal “We” (Pluralis Majestatis)—
a nosism employed by a person of high office, like a monarch, earl or pope—I figure
I’m already dallying around with dangerous territory
as it is…

And speaking of dangerous territory:

This collaboration with comrades Paris Sadonis

& the lovely Zoetica Ebb

Is breakneck behavior at its most unpredictably brilliant (and vice-versa).

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 click led to another to another, to the video embedded above

I’ve gotta tell ya: the lyrical quality, the beauty and brutality expressed therein?

Inspired some awe, yes.

★ ☆ ★

However, the impetus for this post isn’t to alert you, gentle reader, as to what’s New! Hot! Now!
Besides, not only did the story run in the fall 08/winter 09 release of the bi-annual;
the sense of time is immersive.

—Instead—

I feel compelled to remark upon what I find equally as impressive/astounding as the work itself:
for all the homoerotic overtones, for this chic cult of sexual predators Klein has amassed—
for a narrative in which outré images are so tightly bound,
laced with gunpowder and black magic…

The context of where the photographs were published —
the framework from which Klein’s story was “hung,” so to speak —

bears great cultural significance.

★ ☆ ★

For those unaware, or for those who are, even—
humor me one hot little moment while I reiterate a fact so basic;
I’ve yet to come across a journalist or blogger to bring attention to it:

Arena Homme Plus is not a gay [ that's "gay" in scare quotes ] publication.

Boundless Innovation. Outrageous Extravagance. A New Look At A Design Master: Thierry Mugler

April 25, 2010 / Clint Catalyst posted in Archive, Blog, Fashion / 14 Comments

“I have always tried to sublimate the body and to make people dream.”

Thierry Mugler: Galaxy Glamour, the most recent compendium on one of the 20th Century’s most influential designers, is out now.

While the couture division of Mugler’s House closed in 2003, his aesthetic explored a dramatic narrative populated by supermodels and superstars, or — in the words of the designer himself — “Personalities who know and accept who they are and fashion themselves accordingly.”

As a tribute to the so-called createur de shoc [ "creator of shock" ], I invite you to feast upon a series of clips demonstrative of a runway show in the truest sense of the word: a presentation at its most ostentatious, its most outrageous, its most theatrical.

:: haute couture, paris :: autumn/winter 1997 :: source: the fashion spot forums ::

Thierry Mugler Les défilés Haute Couture

“Fashion is not enough,” Mugler once said. “I am trying to convey sensations and feelings . . . I am always telling stories . . . I invent my characters and put them on stage. For me, clothes are a language.”

Les défilés Prêt-à-porter 90

A language, albeit, that is highly-cultivated: structured beyond the ‘natural,’ the free-flowing or colloquial, Mugler’s vocabulary is one steeped in fetishistic visuals and exaggerated ideals.

Matter of fact, the HMacabre skeleton crew has assembled an on-line boutique

for the erudite enthusiast of shadowed fineries who’s privy to the fact that

one need not spend a million bucks to look like it.

I need to provide the following info —of—

Scrying. Divination. Skin. Magick. Mad Style. Ten Inchers. † THESE NEW PURITANS †

March 12, 2010 / Clint Catalyst posted in Archive, Aural Fixations (Music News & Reviews), Blog / 8 Comments

Hidden, the sophomore release by British “art-rockers” These New Puritans, is now available Stateside. You know, as in: domestically. It’s a lot of things, this aural assault: a mélange of the cinematic and the classical, the intimate and the evasive, the post-modern and the profound. However, one adjective that isn’t applicable for what’s quickly become my favorite release of the year (thus far)? Sophomoric.

Spot-check this Most Correct clip for the album’s single “We Want War,” directed by Daniel Askill:

click here to obtain :: the ‘neither of either’ :: a ten-incher :: my favorite size… of VINYL, sleazebags!

(Gahhh! Mind/Cable Telly, Much?)

&, for those prone to the “Covet. Love It” when it comes to collectibles…

These New Puritans have rarities to offer their disciples:

(A deluxe version of the CD, complete with 80 pg. hardback book? Drool-worthy.)

Full Disclosure: While I Loathe Band “Groupies” (seriously? try screaming at an art opening or academic conference—that’s subversive… whereas offering to give roadies head for a laminate back-stage? such a seventies’ cliché; I’m yawning), I Have An Insatiable Affinity For The Limited-Edition/Signed-&-Numbered/Gatefold/Box Set/3″ CD/10″ EP/Colored Vinyl/Picture Disc Of It All.

& no, I won’t be gauche & remind you I’m an Aries. Instead, moving right along…

—image of the band taken from their page at Last.fm (Don’t Ignore It; Explore It!)—

The video for “Elvis,” a single from the band’s premiere album Beat Pyramid , is also Most God, Indeed.

† “We’re all waiting/Or Forever Made/And if there is a God, then please take me up…” †

Consider the gents on the handsome side? You’re not alone. Twin brothers Jack (vocals) and George Barnett (drums) have been ogled by the fashion set since the band’s inception in 2005. Before they’d even released a full-length album, designer Hedi Slimane commissioned the “band” (translation: George, whom Slimane also featured on the catwalk) to record a soundtrack for his final collection at Dior Homme, the “Hiver” 2007 runway show. This was Barnett’s first professional modeling gig, though the demand for pale, angular creatures from the xy set has kept him busy: campaigns for Lanvin and Ray-Ban; editorials in Dazed & Confused, Zoo, Arena Homme +, 10, GQ, Another Man, and Vogue Hommes Japan; and runway work for dozens of designers, including Burberry Fall/Winter 10/11, Prada, YSL, Alexander McQueen, Gareth Pugh, Dries van Noten, Veronique Branquinho, Galliano, and Gucci.

However, insofar as far as my own taste goes? Not that you asked, but I’m backin’ Jack over George. & speaking of back, let’s do exactly THAT

Our exploration of Correct Culture continues with burlesque beauty Courtney Cruz, sandwiched between an Alice duo …♥

[ Oh, and pssst! A little "JSYK," just in case you're in the No instead of know ] :

The estimable Miss Cruz presents “tassle-twirling with a spin” at her once-a-month installment of The Devil’s Playground at Bordello bar. Described by journalist Erin Broadley as “Beyond traditional fan dancing and martini bathing,” the Devil’s Playground “integrates pop culture and niche fan favorites with the classic art of the striptease, modernizing burlesque with cleverly themed, character-driven performances like Video Game Girls, Comic Book Vixens and…Tails From the Crypt.” Known most recently for creating a disturbance in The Force for her Star Wars-themed bump-and-grind, it’s no wonder the L.A. Weekly deemed this Busty Storm Trooper’s resident troupe as Best Burlesque Club of 2009.

Pictured above: Cruz maintains a subdued demeanor with chanteuse Jessicka Addams and Mia Vixen, one of The Devil’s Playground performers.

Wait a minute. I mentioned this was an art opening; didn’t I?

Oh-Kay.

Unfortunately, the gallery ran out of catalogs; i.e., I’m afraid I don’t know whom to credit for the creation pictured above. That being said, please allow me to segueway back to other deep and meaningful content, such as

los-angeless-best-dive-bars-by-lina-lecaro

~~Caught here on the other side of the camera~~ Previously captured on the other side of the lens — though retracted, since keeping her identity secret only intensifies the appeal — is was Nightranger‘s intrepid reporter Lina Lecaro, whose years of fearless ventures — from immersing herself deep in the trenches of trannies werkin’ the merkin to ravers wielding glow-sticks as if they were num chucks — have garnered her reputation as The Go-To Girl for Nightlife.

Incidentally, Lecaro “dipped into the population” this eve not only for the sake of a newspaper word count, but also to celebrate the completion of her first full-length manuscript. [ No, people: I didn't say script. Leave those to your dental hygenist, who'll likely have "something for you to look over" before the luxury of another kind of script gets written. Oy! ]

By manuscript, I mean book— of which her debut is titled Los Angeles’s Best Dive Bars: Drinking and Diving in the City of Angels. Its release date is May 1st, 2010, though you might as well go ahead and pre-order such an indispensable guide. Assuming you remembered to close out your tab at the bar last night, that is! Such a hassle, retrieving one’s 16-digits on plastic The Day After. Isn’t it? [AHEM!] I mean: So I’ve Heard.

Review Of Pills, Thrills, Chills and Heartache — Flaunt Magazine

January 29, 2010 / Clint Catalyst posted in Reviews, Reviews of Pills, Thrills, Chills and Heartache / No Comments

Issue 52, The “Spring Fashion Issue”

While the process of uploading/archiving/formatting my site to WordPress is—generally speaking—yawnsville territory, the occasional film strip I “re-visit” compensates for the pain-in-the-assery of it all : remembrances of whom was with me, where I was, the tilt-a-whirl of excitement I felt upon picking up the copy of Flaunt, in which this brief review (see: paragraph three) appeared…

flaunt-review-of-pills-thrills-chills-and-heartache

Massive thanks and congratulations, B.B.: In five sentences, you target the subject matter with a marksman’s precision. Not only is this excerpt testament to a well-honed sense of verbal dexterity, but the analysis also exhibits a sophistication—namely, your ability to exude charm despite a frugal economy of language.

And thank you, Flaunt Magazine, for the elation (however fleeting). I don’t even have to close my eyes, and I’m there again: a 7-11 in Eagle Rock, bona-fide literary groupie Mark Ewert waiting in my grandmacamry while I made this pit stop to wherever it is he was staying. The A.C. in the store is cranked, my skin a menace of gooseflesh as I stand, feet planted so I’m facing the magazine rack. There’s a large expanse of glass behind the titles—does one call it a “window” if it’s never meant to be opened?—and on the other side of the freshly-Windexed surface that’s filling my lungs with a mildly toxic freon blue scent, dusk spreads itself across the asphalt sky, immense and in gasoline hues—a Molotov cocktail tossed onto the L.A. skyline. A thick copy of Flaunt is in my hands, Selma Blair on the trademark die-cut double cover, and it’s the moment just after I flipped past Omahyra’s “Quinceñara” editorial: the moment when my eyes landed on this review, confirming the validity of what I’d heard, and as I’m scanning the words, a feeling comes over me that’s an onslaught of stimuli: it’s like being on a float in a parade, the crowd cheering; it’s like tossing a fistful of lit firecrackers; it’s a warmth of validation crawling into me by the fingertips, a delirious warmth, a fix I hadn’t even known I was craving. It’s my own Sally Fields moment, an implicit understanding of the fickle undercurrent in her Oscar acceptance speech when she gushed: “You like me, right now, you like me!”

I grab the other two copies from the shelf and head towards the cashier, not giving a damn about the transitory nature of things.

I feel traces of it still: “You like me… You like me…”

“Right now, you like me!”

Two Bombshells With Cobalt-Colored Hair

January 24, 2010 / Clint Catalyst posted in Blog, Fashion, Merch / 8 Comments

First, I’m stoked to have social media superhero Miss Destructo

as the next ‘Consumer As Spokesmodel’ (despite how admittedly goober the title may be…) :: Keep sending in those glamour shots of you rockin’ product, kids… Whether it’s a book bag or a prize ribbon, I’d love to plaster your face up here for all the w.w.w. to see!

And next, a familiar face on this blog, as of late—

Zoetica Ebb, filling the role of “Check-Me-Out-Bitches; I’m In An Ad!”

Ahhh, YES:

I really love this “bounce-out.” (Is that what they’re called?) Whatever the nomenclature,

Massive thanks to graphics whiz Joanna Carr!

Till Later—

Envy: A New Fashion Magazine from The Creators of The Fashionably Independent

January 20, 2010 / Clint Catalyst posted in Archive, Blog, Fashion / 9 Comments

The Widget? Pentegram, fully throwin’ down…

(That’d be five stars, in case my strand of Polari doesn’t translate well.)

Fully backin’ the ability to customize the size and lay-out options, as well as the international content contained therein.

To be honest, I’d rate the content in the current “issue” as a 4.5—meaning, of course, I know full well The Indie Fashion crew is capable of upping the ante beyond the established paradigm.

My request? Sprinkle in some content from Japanese men’s Vogue—as I’ve yet to see a single copy at any news stand (and I live in L.A., for F’s sake)… but the scant amount I’ve been fortunate to locate on-line?

Sleek as an Atsuko Kudo latex pencil skirt freshly polished. Sophisticated. Deliciously androgynous.

Of course, there’s also the occasional editorial in Imago ‘zine (Canada), Gazelleland (New York), Coilhouse (Los Angeles) and the slew of $40-and-over periodicals rife with opulence, editorial genius and consummate consumer lust that creep their way over from Europe…

Because these?

Of course, this is merely my opinion: but it’s when these truly independent flashes of serendipity—synonymous far too often with short print runs before the recently-launched creations belly-up…

It’s when these disparate elements get stirred into an already stellar sampling of aspirational imagery

that my mind melds &

corneas are left burning with a brilliance that feels so

alive alive
alive…

Here’s to
Cheers from
The Future—

(& With Great Anticipation)

Aural Fixation: 33 Tracks From The End Of The Aughts, My Heart To Your [Downloadable Device]*

January 12, 2010 / Clint Catalyst posted in Archive, Aural Fixations (Music News & Reviews), Blog / 5 Comments

✼—Limited Time Offer/”It’s A Lot Like Life”—✼

Alright you guys: Apart from a few tracks on which I had some creative involvement, I’ve never utilized Ye Olde Dot Com in the context of a public music share. Never until now, that is… With this: a veritable list of my 33 favorite songs from ’09.

As stated on Fluxblog, Music For Robots, NME’s “Daily Download”, Music Is Art, Glorious Noise and a slew of other noteworthy locales among the internet ethers, any music posted is provided under a code of ethics ✼ [& Disclaimer] ✼

Though it should go without saying, if anything from this catalogue aux Catalottalisps moves your spirit, contributes to involuntary thrusts of elbows and hipbones, or just plain pleases your ear canal with good aural: give the musicians some much-deserved love and support. That’s “love” as in: the kind from your pocketbook—not Nature’s Little Pocket, and “support” that doesn’t involve an underwire or cup size. Odds are, Pamela Des Barres has that Other territory covered, anyway—unless VH1′s Next Big Hit: a competitive “reality” series entitled Groupie: Go Ho or Go Home! is still in negotiations.

So, yes…here’s my first Em Pee Three Web Log

a play list intended as a means of promoting the artists as well as the art

for the sake of art itself:

The creative spirit is contagious

and these are the the lullabies that transmit inspiration
Lily Allen and Annie’s bubblegum pop with biting, cyanide-laced lyrics that
induced an emotional imprint, capture an essence:
the interrobang I experienced upon hearing the somber vocals of Fever Ray’s Karin Andersson
collide with boody-bass, a re-mix that shatters her glacial strip-tease & throws everything
off, like the crepuscular hour in which I was first infected by Demdike Stare:
hunched over at my desk, fist gripped around a sweat-slick black Ticonderoga, that
late night/early morning’s weapon of choice for my
battle with words—though what I fought more than anything was to stay awake
floating in and out of consciousness, when
suddenly and without warning, I was surrounded by an echoing incantation
that rose up, a miasma as mysterious as voodou yet synthetic, manufactured, cold

Wait…What the F was I rambling about?

:: never mind all that :: just ::

close your eyes :: inhale deeply, & :: listen

pictured above :: the big pink

Metric — “Help I’m Alive (Immuzikation B-Ting Like A Hammer Remix)”

The Big Pink — “Dominos”

Fever Ray — “When I Grow Old (Bassnectar Remix)”

The Joy Formidable — “The Greatest Light Is The Greatest Shade”

Twisted Wires — “One Night At The Raw Deal”

Yeah Yeah Yeahs — “Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix)”

Simian Mobile Disco (featuring Beth Ditto) — “Cruel Intentions”

As Tall As Lions — “You Can’t Take It With You”

Bat For Lashes — “Daniel (Death Metal Disco Scene Remix)”

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart — “Everything With You”

The xx — “Basic Space (Astronomer Remix)”

Lykke Li — “Knocked Up (Kings of Leon Cover: Death To The Throne Remix)”

Health — “Die Slow”

Veil Veil Vanish — “Anthem for a Doomed Youth”

Passion Pit — “The Reeling”

Hunz — “Draw The Line”

December 26, 2009 / Clint Catalyst posted in Blog, Conspicuous Consumption, Fashion, File Under "Other" / 3 Comments

And here it is, December 26th. The Day After.

First and foremost, Congratulations! If you’re reading this, chances are you survived. However, for those of you whom “survival” just ain’t cuttin’ it, and you’re feeling less-than-satisfied with this year’s swag? While wild women descend upon shopping malls in the ultimate Quest To Find A Good Bargain, Damnit, please allow me to provide suggestions by a more civilized approach: The “F it—this one’s for me, and I’m packin’ plastic.” In the comfort of your own home, even!

That being said,

* From the Impeccably Curated A+R Store, LOOK UPON:

TOY ME’S

SILVER SCISSOR CUFF

It’s rare I wear dangly-spangly things on my wrist, but I would rock the shit outta this cuff…

:: GO AHEAD—INDULGE! :: WITH A SNIP, :: CLIP :: & CLICKITY-CLICK ::

* From the Cosmonomad Herself, ACQUIRE A PRINT by the multi-talented Zoetica Ebb.

Available now: “Inkdrops 007: The Endless Commission”

another option on —sumptuous velvet photo rag paper—

entitled “Cumulous Confection,” and

:: AVAILABLE FROM THE BIOREQUIEM SHOP :: (CLICK HERE!) ::

*Because sometimes the faux is infinitely more fascinating than what you already know:

by Shawna Kenney and photographer James Knoblauch (whose site seems to be down at the moment) chronicles Hollywood Blvd.’s “infamous nobodies” impersonating Somebodies or -things

:: FOR THE ‘REAL DEAL’ VIA AMAZON, :: CLICK HERE ::

or, support indie booksellers

and

:: CLICK HERE :: FOR SKYLIGHT BOOKS ::

Whew! There are several other goodies I intended to share for your retail/retinal pleasure, but truth is: I’m technologically-challenged, and this whole “HTML” thing? Takes me muuuuch longer than one would think. (Seriously? It’s pretty sad, guys.) I’ll have to post more suggestions later… As for now?
