Holly Woodlawn:"So there I was, propped up on the backseat of a Chevy convertible with a tiara on my head and a sash across my chest that read MISS DONUT 1968. And as I waved to the adoring throng of thirty people, I realized that I had acheived a monumental crowning glory: a year's supply of free donuts. It was the thrill of a lifetime."

"It's not that I think stupidity shoulw be punishable by death. I just think we should take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem take care of itself."
Andy Warhol:"Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches."
Nick Cave:
"People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions."

Most importantly, POOLSIDE, who influenced a generation and will always rock the tuesday thru thursday panty crowd, which totally contradicts my blog posting about this notorious boy band.
THE SEWING CIRCLE by Richard Kern starring Kembra Pfhaler and really anything Richard Kern (on an empty stomach), documentaries of all sorts, CAMILLE CLAUDEL cause it chronicles her relationship with that megalomaniacal womanizing bastard Auguste Rodin that led to her increasingly mentally distressed state, loss of creativity and passion, and death in the mental ward, SLAVES OF NEW YORK because I see the humoungous geek in me in Bernadette Peters character, I SHOT ANDY WARHOL because sometimes Valerie Solanas is right, HENRY AND JUNE, just ask me, LIQUID SKY and DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN because i wanted to be there the whole time, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS because of it's tragic relevance to the human condition, and finally the made for tv and straight to video biopic of legendary boy band POOLSIDE chronicling their climb up the ladder of success and eventual drug cold medication lollipop and alcohol fueled demise.

That chapter about Michelle Branch is sheer genius and genuinely arousing.

Umm, also my liver for putting up with things for so many years. You know how it gets, you come home late, and your livers all, 'So, you were out with HIM again!' *liver points at bottle of steamwhistle, then bursts into tears*
I'd also like to thank my ability to actually ignore what i'm thinking about most of the time, but maybe it's getting harder to do that the more i think about it.
Oops, almost forgot POOLSIDE, those guys rock! Talk about integrity, and the way that Face can drink you under the table, it's like the floor sent you a polite and lacey invitation, and you were all like, 'Oh yes please, meezum!' and when you got there they had canapes, which quite frankly, you forgot even existed, so what a pleasant party that was. sorry, is that shaved beet? goodness!
