Beautiful, Law Busting, Bad Ass… Bettie Page
April 10, 2012 § 1 Comment
A new film! The true story of the world’s greatest pin-up, nude and fetish model, told in her own words. A provocative expose about Bettie Page’s on camera joie de vivre blasting past 1950s censorship efforts. And best of all, made with Bettie Page’s authorization.

Oh… how I miss the old days of viral networking… when we would work hard to unearth our fascinations… and work hard to share them. Now it all rolls out with the click of a mouse. But this movie… like a time capsule.
Bedaux: Capitalist Extraordinaire
February 11, 2012 § Leave a Comment
A fascinating, true tale of a young French hustler who found his way into the American capitalist market by way of measuring the human energy of a work force. He then stumbled into the international political world (circa World War II and Hitler), partied in ways only the filthy rich could, kept mistresses galore, and went exploring like an ego maniacal fool. His brazen life finally ended with his suicide.
Thankfully his expeditions were captured in news reels and on film that he procured himself. His film canisters were lost but then turned up in a basement in Paris. That footage is the foundation for this documentary. Amazing.
I found it on Netflix. It’s very timely in this Occupy Wall Street era of ours.

A stunning documentary about natives in film. This trailer does not even begin to do the film justice.
Le Crazy Horse: Nude Dancing Girls of Paris
January 19, 2012 § 2 Comments
The ladies are nude, so no one is allowed to take photos in the theater. All I could capture for you was this picture of Crazy Horse toilet and my toes. I’m classy, huh?
Le Crazy Horse has been producing burlesque since 1951. In their own words, they are, “…the most avant-garde cabaret in Paris celebrating the beauty, raw talent and personality of the sensual dancers in an unimitable, sophisticated and glamourous way.” The last time I was in Paris I had to go.
Lucky for me, I went on a quiet evening. There were only a few enraptured audience members to speak of. Me, my date and some Japanese men, traveling on business.
There is a documentary about Le Crazy Horse that premiered yesterday in New York City. I was lucky to be in the very first showing. The film is packed with stunning cinematography, portions of the stage show and lots of behind the scenes footage. the film shares just how much care goes into each production, the costume design, the auditions, the arguments, the long days and hard work of everyone involved.
At 2 hours and 20 minutes, the film is exhaustive. You feel both the beauty of the show but also the pain of producing it. But thank goodness they do. There is nothing in the world like Le Crazy Horse.
And on a side note, I just read that shoe designer Christian Louboutin has been doing design work for the show. Just one of many interesting minds they have pulled into the fold over the years.

In the first 10 minutes he loses his job as a cab driver, his wife ditches him, and he’s forced to move home with mom and dad. And then… he opens his own sex toy shop. Red Light Revolution looks awesome!

I know it got mixed reviews, but screw that. I recently saw Sherlock Holmes and loved it. At this very moment I am watching Jedi Junkies (free) on Hulu. And I just got these three movies from the New York Public Library….

I watched The Winnebago man last night. I love finding out where internet celebrities go and Jack Rebney has been gracious enough to invite us into his life again. He makes my sailor mouth sound tame… bless his heart.
