Petker’s Paintings In Stiletto Pumps (or: The Catwalk-Stalking & Crowd-Gawking)

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, I intuit

a resounding “Yes, please!”

So…that being said, here’s

actor Daniel Franzese as he awaited patiently…

Burlesque bombshell Ava Garter, who

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’ to stake her claim

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 “Project Runway” infamy

Of course, a Jared Gold show wouldn’t be complete

without the presence of

With Pauley Perrette at Hairroin’s Benefit for The LAYN: 04 29 09

Wow.

Got some, uhh, serious “chin chin”s goin’ on with some of my movements
in this one here…

But y’know what though?
gasp!

It’s not ‘all about me…’

So, Yeah…I’m Old.

Here are some of the fine folks who came out
to celebrate that I’m now a year closer to the ol’ dirt nap…

Realizing that I’m—ahem—under a bit of stress as of late,
Jessicka took it upon herself to organize a dinner
at one of my favorite local eateries, Casita Del Campo:

Swish Hips Earn Tips:
Rawk Chicks Lisa Leveredge and Jessicka

None other than Miss Lenora Claire was there

Totes lettin’ us have it with the twins!

(Which I’m not mad about…ain’t mad about at all…)

Wordsmith Brendan Mullen of Lexicon Devil, We Got The Neutron Bomb,

and Live at the Masque: Nightmare in Punk Alley fame

Kim Sosore and William Mills—i.e.,

Just about the cutest damn couple in town

whereas

only half of this duo is “lookin’ good”…

and that half by no means is myself!

(Beneath my grip is the beautiful journalist

known as Caroline Ryder)

Of course,

I feel it imperative to announce:

NOT A SINGLE MARGARITA WAS SLURPED AT THIS DINNER…

Jessicka Addams. Lisa Leveredge.

Proof/Pudding?

;D

Mmm Hrmm…

Yeah, right.

Damn shame I can’t blame my own bad behavior

on anything other than…

Luis Payne of Hairroin Salon!

(Now, there’s an exclamation point

that wants to be an interrobang “when it grows up,”

if I’ve ever seen one.)

And speaking of the ol’ “!?”—

I should move on to THE PARTY, fer F’s sake!

However, before I clack a single syllable into the keyboard,

I want to give a

Huge-Ass Honkin’

Load of THANKS

to my pals

Adrian and The Mysterious D

of

Club Bootie

For hosting a birthday shin-dig for me

and my “Thousand Closest Imaginary Friends”

with the legendary Paul V

at

Bootie L.A.

(one of several monthly parties thrown around the world–

I’m so proud to see two pals from S.F. go ‘Global!’)

♥ HIT IT, DEIRDRE! ♥

Also, I must admit I wasn’t exactly bummed to have Rony Alwin of

Rony’s Photobooth

there to chronicle some* of the evening’s guests…

Here are a few ‘choice’ shots (filched from aforementioned site, please.&.thanks):

“To Push Away Or Clutch” — Spoken Word by Clint Catalyst

ART FAG ALERT!

No, I don’t hit every line in the prose-poem verbatim.

Yes, I wrote it. It’s ancient history, actually…but I chose the piece as a ‘sampling of my wares’–so to speak–because it’s self-contained and just under the 10 minute mark.

BACKGROUND INFO: this monologue was filmed on the day that basically determined whether or not I’d have a sample of my art hanging in the Andy Warhol museum. By “hanging,” I mean via 50 inch flat-screen monitor and bitchen sound system with my monologue on endless repeat (entering the room on ‘Opening Night’ and hearing my far-from-soothing voice bouncing around the pristine white walls? SURREAL… and something I’m still processing.)

That Once-In-A-Lifetime pressure +

5 1/2 single-spaced pages of text?

I’m just glad I pulled it off…
And of course, exponentially more grateful to glenn kaino for including me as one of his “Uberstars” in the 8-year retrospective of his sculpture/photography in the reknown Andy Warhol museum in Pittsburgh!

Catalottalisp was “served, and proper” from May 3 – August 31st, 2008, thanks to Mr. kaino and the curators’ hospitality.

This clip would not exist without the camera skills of Nhat Nguyen and editing prowess of Diego Garza.
