"LOVELY TO LOOK AT" Adrian's Fashion Excesses of 1952


the gowns/costumes in all the SAG and GOLDEN GLOBES, EMMYS, and the ACADEMY AWARDS SHOWS keep Fashion Trendiness on a linear path of Surrealistic Over-The-Topness......Perpetuated, with some humor...well, a lot of humor.......on RU PAUL'S DRAG RACE  and PROJECT RUNWAY......



tell us about it, Tilda!  what!...a bare head???

Doesn't 'everything' have an effect on 'everything else'? "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds"

In a philosophical mood, this morning.....I thought of this film, that I'd not seen in many decades.....The internal dialogue of Matilda "Tillie" Hunsdorfer reminding me of my own childhood, immersed in a Gilbert Chemistry Set, a terrarium that represented...to me...a microcosm for the Universe, and meditations on a world that I fantasized, existed beneath a huge boulder in our back yard, where the Akashic Records existed within small chrome-like spheres that could be played in a device that had been left there by aliens, a billion years before........


this led to 'sessions' with a shrink...and a battery of tests to evaluate my sanity......The Psychiatrist determined that I was merely an artist, with a vivid imagination and who was squarely in the center of the Masculinity/Femininity continuum.........I was relieved to be released from others' constructs and prejudices about what and whom we/I should be........Nothing is forgotten.......Everything is remembered, if only  for the amount of time it takes for light to pass over a  hydrogen molecule.

I'll ask Guy Maddin about this 'matter'......
Guy knows all about the Grand Malaise....
if his Films are any indications......
