And now that I'll be heading out in-- oh, 28 hours or so (if the counting-on-my-fingers was correct!)
What started with this image as its genesis:
"How is it I tie this damn cravat again?"
Not the siiiiick-ass "Family Portrait" series snapped by Nhat Nguyen,
Bitch, PLEASE: You KNOW You Know
What I mean...
The secret lies herein: Those were but an after-thought
(Though a high-larious one rife with hyperbole, I Full & Openly Admit)
The moments preceding this "terrible triumvirate's" free-for-all?
Splinters in time so exciting, they've been buried between the layers of my skin An untold story carried around
Till now—

Sculptor and photographer glenn kaino took a 'Big Shot' Polaroid in hand and fired off solos:

Anybody Up For The "Big Shot Shuffle"?
Perhaps you've heard of a guy known by the moniker 'Andy Warhol'? (Not that I, Clint Catalyst, would advocate one changing his birth name...)
Well, he was particularly fond of this model and make. So much so, in fact, that some of his subjects outlived their proverbial "15 [NOPE, CAN'T EVEN SAY IT]":
Hard-Backed and Perfect-Bound
This World Wide Waste of Time? Sure, the sense of immediacy is somewhat magic, gratifying.
But I'm a big fan of printed matter. I can hold it in my lap, hear the crack of the spine, smell each flip of the pages:
Unlike a URL, it has a life of its own that I don't feel is fleeting—here today, gone...
Well,
tomorrow is when I'm bound
to board a plane.
My destination Pittsburgh, I'm hoping to also feel more than just that [OVER-REFERENCED INCREMENT OF TIME].
glenn kaino's retrospective show is opening, and apparently I'm going to be in it. Not just at it
Though attending any commencement ceremony of his work would be sublime, the sensory details on a personal level are exponentially magnified by the, uh, overwhelming detail that
After shrugging off another year of youth that passed on the 8th (shared with Vivienne Westwood and Jacques Brel, thanks), super-socialite Rich Royal and the twisted talent known as Jared Gold convinced me there'd been a call to order: I was gonna celebrate, dang it, whether or not I wanted to!
Scissormeistress Janine Jarman & The Almighty Jared Gold
out of the house, out of my head for a while, lost with the only family I have in this sprawling expanse of land punctuated with neon lights and palm trees uprooted from their indigenous habitats and relocated here, same as
me and my friends
diaspora to this place we've chosen to call home: Jared, Strawberry and the Kitch Deseret Industries, dirt roads, and winters cold enough to brittle the marrow of one's bones ghosts we've left behind for the natives, they're nowhere near this life we've chosen where we venture into the intimacy of night
So, the little header you might have noticed 'round these parts entitled "Scene Et Al"? The caption isn't the only element of the section that's "fraught with levels of meaning" (yep, fully acknowledging how stodgy the expression sounds...just envision me in a vintage suit with a pipe in my mouth, and maybe I can get by with it).
Do...Not...Resist
Scene Et Al is where I'll post various clips exclusive to this site (because hey, I'm being bombarded with requests to bitch and moan in bad lighting...KIDDING).
However, the "scene-within-the-scene" is that of a little on-line show produced for uber...and the title of the show is—hopefully you guessed it—Scene Et Al.

Wow! at least I can read that you have a 98% Direct following, beats out my 96%, but then again, you have about 500 more people following your every word. hehe.

I saw the photo's from your trip on Dirk's page. loks like you had some fun, i wish i could have joined, but as always this rock i have been living on for the past 17 years 10 months and 3 weeks (i feel so young:P) I am hopped up on energy drinks right now. red bull and lots of sugar, And i regret to inform you that while you are rocking the stylish new hair-do i am recovering from a horrible haircut. stupid bitch hairdresser. i asked for a trim and she cut off my bangs! i refused to pay of course and am in the process of finding a way to work with this disaster

Herm, so apparently this snazzy new little pie chart is telling me that www. jaredgold .com is a top reffering site to my page? I don't understand what that means. And can you please do me a favour and talk to Jared about refunding for that shirt. I know I'm not supposed to get the weblebrities involved in the sales, but I have called The Shop multiple times since I cancelled my order. They keep telling me they'll refund and they never do, either that or they say that blahblahblah is not there and can't do it, or they say they'll call me back. It is A MESS. Please Clint, please? And I don't want Jared to be mad at me either. I know it's only $31 and some cents, but I'm a broke ho. =( I'm sorry. Please don't be mad at me for asking you this.
Oh, my bad. I thought it was Ugly. I know you haven't forgotten about me, HUN NY! My cakes is unfo'gettabow! Yeah, that link worked, but I don't know if your mesage went through. Ahahah, we're such whores, having secret plans! We're hot. Those two messes are like flaunting what they did at Bamboozle, but I kow what's happening. theunmentionable is using theotherone to get further into they's career, kind of like "they" did with someoneelse'slife . I do believe the puzzle pieces are falling in place. Just watch. ♥
Girl, me and my friend were talking about you in Hot Topic yesterday, don't fret, we're not shoppers, she just works there. ANTYWAYS... We were talking about internet celebrities and who gets on our nerves and who the wannabe's are and oh! It was A MESS! She took me over to the magazines and was wondering if I knew who, "This person is". She was pointing at Michelle, Sabina, Forbidden (she hates her), Danielle, Matthew, Audrey, Sean, and a couple of other peepsles and before she even asked me who any of them was, I was like, "There's my Clint. He's so cute." She's like, "Do you know him?" And I said, Not personally, but I do talk to him." Oh, it was just fun fun fun gossiping. I miss your comments hobaglady. XO♥OX
Hey Clint, Haven't talked to you in a long time. How's it going? I'm going up to Chicago this weekend... I'm so excited to go............ Anything fun been going on? Well I shall talk to you later on! Ohhh, and.............. ..
How can you ask me "what's been goin' on" when I post a blog that dang EPIC?
I'm still reeling from the experience...

and let me try to move on to the next! (I can't repeat the same stuff over and over again if I'm gonna retain *any* grasp of sanity...and trust me, baby: it is tentative at BEST!)
