On February 9th, 2020, my life exploded. I am not On February 9th, 2020, my life exploded. I am not exaggerating when I say that my life as it had been ended that day. The weeks that followed were, without a doubt, the absolute worst of my life. Then, after the 5 weeks of utter hell abated slightly, the pandemic hit in earnest. I arrived back in Los Angeles on March 12th - one day before the city shut down. The months that followed were a gray blur punctuated by moments of compounded tragedy. It is also not an exaggeration to say that the pandemic itself was barely in the top-5 worst things about my 2020 experience. As I'm now, a year and a half later, well into the process of grief and recovery and the pandemic itself seems to be waning (despite the best efforts of some of my fellow Americans to keep it alive and well), I return to Instagram with photos of what was the last "normal" moment I had for very long time. These are from @ToveLo at @StAndrewsHall for her Sunshine Kitty tour. I was originally to see her again the next night in Chicago - that never happened. She performed that night in Detroit, mostly sitting down, having broken her foot less than a week earlier in Brooklyn. The break did nothing to stop her from putting on an amazing show - performing while sitting in what can only be called a throne, queen that she is.

No word as to whether this reindeer can fly and/or whether it has run over any grandmas.

And that in the original reindeer poem, the last two reindeer were #Dunder and #Blixem? Blixem. Blix. Em. I just... Also, @thelonelyisland on the minute chance they'll follow the mention - Hot Rod is genius, y'all are great.

"If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just l "If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface; of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it." - Andy Warhol A photo of Andy #Warhol's "Screen Test: Mario Banana #1" being viewed (that shadow at the bottom of the frame is an #audience member's #head) at the #ArtInstituteofChicago's #AndyWarhol exhibition. The #Screentests were short (3m-ish) #films in which the subjects either stayed still or performed some simple action, creating a 'semi-static' portrait. Warhol's #portraiture was a major portion of his work, and he's credited with at least partially spurring a revived interest in #portraits after abstract expressionism. His portraits are some of his most famous and iconic images (especially in the 70s, he used their commerical popularity to fund his more esoteric projects). Given my love of portraits, its likely not surprising that I dig that portion of his work a lot - and though I like his famous silk-screened pop images, it's his more intimate photos like the screen tests or his #Polaroids that are most evocative for me. The exhibit is great - go see it. 😁 #stillframe of #MarioMontez, the #WarholSuperstar, #eating and giving #fellatio to a #banana while in #drag (as far as I can find, #Montez #identified as both a #crossdresser and a #dragqueen) #Chicago #Illinois #popart #artmuseum #film.
