Welcome BLOGSPOTers! Stick around --you might like what you read and see here. I had two visitors yesterday who dug into my archives. Little Rock, Arkansas took a long look at B.B. King, George Clinton, and my own ironic Montana Postcards which were shown at the Hockaday Museum. I first posted Ida Rubinstein's chronology at that time too:

Killeen, Texas wanted to see Kim Manning (of George Clinton & the P-Funk All-Stars) on roller skates -- there's three pics of Ms. Manning there, but she ain't rolling in any of 'em: http://northernborder.blogspot.com/2006_01_01

More fringe Satellite TV -- SuicideGirls First Tour is a strange film about a young Goth/Punk/Emo burlesque troupe who have been on the Internet since 2001, and packed traditional skin-show houses like the Trocadero when they took their show on the road. There were flashes of real artistry here and there, along with primordial bumps and grinds, plus some stupid sleaze-bar stunts. "Missy" Moonie was a co-founder of the group, and their filmmaker / photographer -- First Tour showed a lot of scenes of her talking and working. Day-um! She even put out a BOOK in 2004. (see picture below) If YOU* want to wallow in this expansive, spooky, extravagent mixture of old and new, or timeless obsessions, a good place to start might be their Wikipedia entry. *I take the hard stuff in VERY small doses, thank you. That documentary is all I choose to endure at present. I haven't been inside a strip club since the 80's -- the pressures and demands from the audiences on the working women and artists became too much for me. I was happy just to watch them dance, and didn't care to be associated with the rest.
