After seeing a startlingly new cover of Self Magazine, Grizelda and I made an "emergency podcast" about it. The audio will be posted on Yeast Radio but the video is buried here because I'm fat and ugly plus I had just woken up and I don't really want people to see it.

A statement is made in the way one of my favorite stores wraps it's sales.

I say goodbye to YouTube and why.

This video got me a one week suspension from YouTube, 11 years after I posted it in 2010. Xdope made it. Standards are retroactive apparently. Youtube is garbage, which is why i'm migrating back here, where I own my own shit.

Fred Burkart, the legendary Chicago Photographer/Philosopher died yesterday. This is footage I shot of him the Sunday following 9-11-201 and it is his commentary on the subject. Sorry about the bad videography. The sound is good at least.

Madge and her sister Coita visit a gay cruise park in Siches, Spain.

A spoof of a transgressive short film by Usama Alshaibi called “Slaughtered Pigtails” in which a woman is hunted down and brutally murdered. In this version, the hunter is a drag queen, and the victim is just a really bad actress. Starring Silky Jumbo and Shishaldin.

It's a long story. 

Long before I ever became friends with artist Camilla Ha,, I ran into her on acid portraying a crazy old Jewish woman at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.

Mz. Jean LeQueef made another amazing video. This time it’s a mashup of a Sylvia Brown Q&A webinar and a Majela ZeZeDiamond (Queen of Vagina) song with reaction by retarded people.

It’s just called “Uhm” Sylvia Browne is amazing. Listen to her readings. Snot ball

Ragan Fox (former ETHS co-host) and Rachel have it out for the first time on Big Brother Season 12. She’s such a bitch.
