Breakdown w/ The KiKi Twins: Pandora Boxx
HTTP://FIERTH.COM – What’s going on right now for you?
I have quite a few things going on right now. I’ll be performing for the first time at Industry Bar, NYC on Wednesday, August 31 @ 10:30pm. I’m both excited and nervous. It’s part of my stand-up comedy/drag show that I’m going to be touring with. Also a part of all that is my first single called “Cooter!” It’s a completely ridiculous dance track about how I wish I had a cooter so I could sleep with a straight guy. I created the song with Billboard recording artist Jipsta and DivaNation who is Joey C. and DJ David Petrilla. I’m also about to shoot the music video with Greg Scarnici. Can you imagine what a video for Pandora Boxx’s “Cooter!” will look like? All my upcoming events can be found at www.pandoraboxx.com/events. -

STUDDING THE INTERN - We were really excited this week when we got a new line of men’s clothing in called Stud Muffin from New York designer Kyle Brincefield. So excited, in fact, that we decided to dress our intern, Tyler, in the studded garb. Tyler is a sweet young gentleman from Kentucky, who just moved here January 1st. So of course we loved seeing him in the studded shorts, vest, and mask. We put him in a pair of patched up underwear by Tom-Tom… just because we could :)

what to do, what to do…
“This bold, globe-spanning survey is the first book to thoroughly explore the radical, long-standing interdependence between art and homosexuality. It draws examples from the full range of the Western tradition, including classical, Renaissance, and contemporary art, with special focus on the modern era. It was in the modern period, when arguments about homosexuality and the avant-garde were especially public, that our current conception of the artist and the homosexual began to take shape, and almost as quickly to overlap. Not a chronology of gay or lesbian artists, the book is a fascinating and sophisticated account of the ways two conspicuous identities have fundamentally informed one another.
Art and Homosexuality discusses many of modernism’s canonical figures—painters like Courbet, Picasso, and Pollock; writers like Whitman and Stein—and issues, such as the rise of abstraction, the avant-garde’s relationship to its patrons and the political exploitation of art. It shows that many of the core ideas that define modernism are nearly indecipherable without an understanding of the paired identities of artist and homosexual. Illustrated with over 175 b/w and color images that range from high to popular culture and from Ancient Greece to contemporary America, Art and Homosexuality punctures the platitudes surrounding discussions of both aesthetics and sexual identity and takes our understanding of each in stimulating new directions.”
