I’m currently reading Bret Easton Ellis’
Less Than Zero. It’s very arid in the way of notable events. It’s as if Helen Keller described every mundane detail of her day in the present tense. I’m a bit disillusioned. I’ve also bookmarked hundreds of interviews that I haven’t yet bothered to read, for complete lack of motivation. For example,
Tom Ford by Derek Blasberg,
Rei Kawakubo by Angelo Flaccavento, and
Kris Van Assche by Rick Owens. How’s that for celebrity saturation? I almost forgot to mention that I did a feature on
Pogo in the new issue of
Dazed & Confused. In the issue
Beyoncé said that
The Truman Show is a direct reflection of what being a celebrity is like, so I’m going to watch it now in an effort to prepare myself. When I was in Brussels I attended a Jeff Wall exhibit at the BOZAR. He’s a really great photographer from Vancouver, Canada. His photos, all backlit with a light-box, are larger than life, staged representations of reality. So if you’re near Brussels, check it out. If you aren’t, watch
The Truman Show.
