Thought Not

A Semi-Sincere Apology

So -- I have made fun of David Colman on many, many occasions for his stories on how beards and Bears have become Chic. He wrote an article in the Times about it and I made vicious fun of him (the only time I have ever gotten nasty on this blog I think.)

Yet low and behold -- I was giddy like a school girl when I was asked to be in "The Show" totally perpetuating "Bear Chic" and the subset "Jew Bear Chic." I am such a hypocrite I had to point it out and take some flack and issue this semi-sincere apology.

I am totally prone to flattery and JUMPED at the chance to be in a fashion show cast as a Jew-bear. Does it make it okay since he never predicted Jew-bear chic?

I am a total sham. I admit it -- and David -- I'm a little sorry for making fun of you.

I TOTALLY Sell Out and Become a Fashion Bear

So my beautiful friend Steve called me last week and asked for a photo of me. I said what for. He said for some fashion thing.

OK -- so I can;t really tell you what is is yet. I wish I could but It's sorta a big deal -- and totally outside the box of things I would have considered -- but I was so flattered when they asked me -- I said yes. Right after the panic set in.

All I can say is this. I have a fitting on Thursday and let's just say Fashion Week starts on Friday.

So yea -- I think a big designer cast little old me as a model. Steve is a "Jew Bear" model too. I think they are going for "Jew Bear Chic."

10 points if you can guess who the designer is.

I am so freakin' nervous. I'll tell you more when the ink is dry. What if I trip?

But maybe not Jesus. Thanks Stavie....

Blog Trifecta

Amazingly I get to combine the last few posts together into one fun night.

Last week I met Joan at the Scissor Sisters recording studio(see about 4 posts below) as she was recording strings on a track. I took a picture of her and BabyDizzle (and asked her why her Viola didn;t have frets. She humored me)

BabyDizzle invited to me go hear her sing tonight at The Living Room on Ludlow Street. I had called Pauline from MAP (see post below) to ask for my old job back (she said yes) and I invited her to come along with us, as she's in New York for the month

So Dizzle, Pauline and I hoofed it down to Ludlow Street to see her play.

She plays with Rufus Wainwright and Rufus and his fucking amazing voice joined her on stage tonight to sing a song. Joan rocked. Rufus was blazing and Dizzle, Pauline and I got to enjoy some live music in this great intimate setting. Too bad the set was only an hour. I'm going to find some links to Joan later and put them up. She deserves a lot of attention.

So -- there you have it -- I wrap up MAP, Dizzle and Joan with a dash of Rufus and pull of a blog first -- a rare trifecta of fun, music and a little magic.

Picture Post

1. The Pups -- my kids. Winter 2006
2. Summer Memories -- playing in the Tidal Pools in P-Town 2004.

Trying to rent my old apartment in P-Town for the summer waiting to hear back. I miss it. What I miss most is working at MAP -- Pauline's amazing store (maybe my favorite store in the world) where I work as a summer shop-clerk. A nice break from being an art dealer. She had to give me remedial folding lessons after Wally sold me out and told her I didn't know how to fold -- but now I can fold a shirt with the best of them.

Flip and Folds are banned at MAP. We do it all by hand. With love.

We Now Return.....

To our regularly scheduled programming.

No more celebrity ass-kissing til at least next week.

In the meantime -- this is what it's like raising a Rottweiler Puppy -- having a 120 pound Rottie and Rocco and Corey over watching football, entertaining the devil puppy.

Mayhem.

Watch it here......  Sorry -- it's a huge file..... but funny.

WOO HOO!!!! Exclusive Scissor Sisters Pics

As I mentioned -- I have exclusive shots from inside the studio as the Scissor Sisters recorded their new album. It was a great experience for me -- I'm used to watching visual artists work, but to see BabyDizzle and Jake working the soundboard was really a treat.

I also have video -- however BabyDizzle threatened to sue me if I post it as it contains audio -- so until he gets off his litigious high horse -- you'll just have to enjoy these.

Here's some of what I saw.

BabyDizzle Himself
Joan (awesome string section) and BabyDizzle

THOUGHT NOT EXCLUSIVE!

The Scissor Sisters invited me up to sit in on the tail end of the recording sessions for their new album last night. All I can say is it was fucking amazing. The new music sounds awesome -- no worries about sophmore slump -- the more I hear the new material -- the more I realize how talented they are.

So -- Babydaddy  is having a Puffy/P-Diddy/Diddy moment and is now insisting on being called "Baby-Dizzle" -- I am abiding by the new name as he refuses to answer to Babydaddy anymore. I'm totally serious. (Full Disclosure -- Baby-Dizzle was coined by our friend Wizzle-Fizzle. See him dance here.)

Even bigger news -- I have the first exclusive pics of the Scissor Sisters in the studio which will be posted on Monday. Get ready to see Jake and Baby-Dizzle behind the soundboard as they work it out -- making the sounds we'll be rockin to next summer.

I wanna thank the boys for having me up and letting me take some pics!

See you on Monday with the shots.

UPDATE: My camera cord is at the office so it may be late in the day on Monday.
