In Conversation with Teresa Nasty
November 18, 2010 – 5:15 am
Images by Samantha Casolari The thing about Teresa (aka Miss Nasty) is that you develop a crush on her just by following her Tweets. She has a way with words that is addicting. Even an ocean away, you can feel an overwhelming warmth and gentleness, despite her chosen profession. After experiencing the aforementioned coupe de [...]
In Conversation with Wendy James
November 1, 2010 – 9:15 am
Eternally sporting a platinum crop and content to start her day with coffee, cigarettes, chocolate and the occasional beer, Wendy James is the epitome of rock’n’roll . Her favorite days are spent in the studio or onstage, somewhere between her current residence: New York City, her hometown: London, and Paris. After gaining worldwide renown in [...]
DD Dorvillier at Danspace Project
October 26, 2010 – 12:11 pm
Danspace Project presented choreographer DD Dorvillier’s 2005 piece No Charge or “freedom is a psycho-kinetic skill” over the weekend. The space, in Saint Mark’s Church in-the-Bowery, isn’t your typical dance space. In an oversized, hollowed-out nave, a white floor and floating wall have been constructed to create a stage. Immediately apparent in the choreography, use [...]

In Conversation with Jibz Cameron of Dynasty Handbag
July 23, 2010 – 11:57 am
Watching Jibz Cameron perform as her infamous alter-ego, Dynasty Handbag, feels like being invited to a private party in the mind of your artfully delusional great-aunt. Part clown, part id, part Real Housewife of Miami, Dynasty Handbag gracefully dashes between the lines of manic sub-conscious neurosis and external performativity, usually to reeling comedic effect. Frequently [...]
Roller Coaster Butt Ride
July 6, 2010 – 4:40 pm
This is one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in forever. I guess the chorus of this song translates to “hit him in the face with your ass.” You can go on youtube and see lots of folks trying to re-create this at home. Something to do when it’s hot out.
