<p>Update: or, the past and future look at each other, as <a href="http://travel.paintedstork.com/blog">Arun</a> says in a comment. I have also changed the title of the post to &#8216;Future Tense&#8217; as a nod to the deplorable state of many of the mansions / frescoes in Shekhawati.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Last night I went to see a play written by a friend of mine. Jon did an amazing job writing it, his mother and friends made beautiful music, and the cast showed off all the work beautifully! The play is called &#8220;Nightsong&#8221;.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Robert is a 300 &#8211; year old vampire, who&#8217;s been feeling off lately. It doesn&#8217;t help that Vivienne, his eternal lover, has grown increasingly cold over the years; she views humans as little more than a source of sustenance, while Robert still finds them fascinating. However, a new conquest soon catches Robert&#8217;s eye: Andrea, a naive human who&#8217;s been widowed for nearly two years. Desperate to be closer to her &#8212; but not wanting to pursue her physically &#8212; Robert calls upon an ancient, forbidden power known as the Nightsong. Using this power Robert enters Andrea&#8217;s dreams while she sleeps, drawing her fragile mind ever closer to him.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I love when people asked Jon where this all came from he replies, &#8220;I made it all up.&#8221; No grand explanation of his inspiration. Just that he made it all up. *grin*</p>
<p>He really is a great and talented guy. I never will let him forget that I remember him being in &#8216;James and Giant Peach&#8217; for All Children&#8217;s Theater a loooong time ago. He was the catapiller in a very embarrassing costume he named the poop suit. Yeah it looked that awesome. But of course even at that young age he was great. He was probably only 7 or 8 at the time.</p>
<p>Something else that was really cool about last night was the venue. It&#8217;s called <a href="http://stannartsctr.org/default.aspx" target="_blank">St. Ann Arts and Cultural Center</a>. This awesome church has the largest fresco collection in North America. It&#8217;s pretty amazing. The photo below is a taste. If you click it you&#8217;ll see the few photos I took last night. Now these frescos are very important and require a certain temperature to be maintained. Well, in order to do so it costs $1800 a WEEK to heat this building. This non-profit organization would really appreciate the donations to keep this art safe.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/angrymonkey626/sets/72157622636617493/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2720/4085776797_02d7961f3f.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>I was in awe of it. The photos aren&#8217;t amazing because I was taking pictures of an extremely high ceiling. If I was the painter I probably would have thrown up from being that high. There is no way I could do stuff like this. Please set up my easel on the ground. Kthxbye.</p>

<p>Azzurra sembra davvero avere trasparenza e profondità tali da permettere ai suoi testi di stare a livello delle nuvole e poi  piovere copiosamente in terra sui campi, sugli orti e nei pensieri delle persone,  seminandovi percorsi remoti, visioni e affetti che contagiano di luce  i ricordi. Usa la lingua della sua terra, un roccolo di caccia, non  di passeri o altri uccelli che animano il silenzio, ma  di quei &#8220;p(r)edoni&#8221; che strappano la trama di quella magnifica costruzione che è il mondo, un istante dopo l&#8217;altro, una vita dopo l&#8217;altra.</p>

di cose da pulire,<br />
da cui distogliere gli occhi.<br />
Mi chiedo se è questo, lo scandalo,<br />
il premere fuori ogni disarmo,<br />
e oltre le lenti spesse e sporche da ritardati<br />
fare mostra degli occhi e guardare<br />
dritta la mia faccia come a dire:<br />

<p><strong>poiesis significa fare</strong></p>
<p>a Pierluigi Cappello</p>
<p>io scrivo sempre<br />
curva, con<br />
quel raccoglimento<br />
da pioggia fuori<br />
affratellata dai miei fogli sui ginocchi<br />
a tutti quelli di prima e di poi<br />
che da altre sponde<br />
sui fogli si sono chinati.<br />
siamo stati chiamati<br />
mi ha detto una volta qualcuno<br />
dal zufolare lento delle cose<br />
da quel comporsi dell’aria<br />
dal farsi giardino degli occhi.<br />
ma si è tanto soli, ho pensato<br />
mentre il lume<br />
mi costruiva l’ombra in silenzio<br />
e intorno tutto moriva<br />
si riduceva a ciarpame.<br />
volevo solo ridestarmi<br />
ed essere altro, un qualcosa<br />
di immediato da cogliere<br />
in un solo sguardo<br />
senza feritoie all’altro mondo.<br />
ma non è vero, sai?<br />
io qui resisto, noi tutti<br />
resistiamo, un cordone di<br />
poveri ciechi, quasi buffi a vedersi<br />
in questo umido di acqua ai fianchi<br />
che è la terra, una trincea<br />
dove unico bagliore<br />
è l’argento della catenatura.<br />
ma c’è luce, c’è aria, c’è l’umido<br />
delle bocche, c’è piangere bene,<br />
c’è bambino, c’è parola, c’è<br />
che c’è tutto nuovo, ogni volta.</p>

<strong>Celle</strong></p>
<p>Dalle vedute di rade foglie e scalcinati muri<br />
muraglie dove dietro ci si siede e si sospira:<br />
è da qui che tutto è più chiaro.</p>
<p>Quando ad esempio si parla<br />
di madri e passato e si pensa<br />
a cosa non c’è ma che pure c’è stato<br />
gli occhi si muovono in modo diverso.</p>
<p>Il resto è tutto venuto dopo quando<br />
abbiamo cominciato a vedere quello<br />
quello che mai avremmo voluto sapere.</p>
<p>Le volpi, di notte, se ci badi le senti, da quel lato<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Due persone sono state ricoverate </strong>in ospedale a Verona con <strong>i sintomi riferibili ad  intossicazione alimentare.</strong></p>
<p>Dall’anamnesi riferita dai pazienti e dalle indagini del caso <strong>i problemi sarebbero legati a tranci di tonno sfuso</strong> acquistato nella zona di San Martino Buon Albergo e consumati dai pazienti in un ristorante bresciano.</p>
<p>La sindrome sgombroide (HFP) è una patologia di origine alimentare causata dal consumo di prodotti ittici alterati o contaminati da batteri, in assenza di alterazioni organolettiche.</p>
<p><strong>Cosa è la sindrome sgombroide?</strong></p>
<p>La sindrome sgombroide è causata dalla presenza di istamina, si tratta di una sostanza termostabile (che non viene inattivata dalla cottura) che si forma dalla decarbossillazione di uno specifico aminoacido, l’istidina, presente in maggiore quantità nelle carni di alcuni pesci. Le quote più elevate di istidina sono presenti nel tessuto muscolare di alcune specie ittiche a carne rossa, appartenenti alle famiglie Scomberesocidae, Scombridae (tonni, albacora, bonito, sgombri), Coriphaenidae (lampuga), Clupeidae (sardine, aringhe, cheppie) ed Engraulidae (acciughe).</p>
<p><strong>Come mai si forma?</strong></p>
<p>Una piccola parte di istamina si sviluppa nei tessuti di questi pesci con il diminuire della freschezza, mentre la maggior parte viene prodotta dalla proliferazione di batteri che, a seguito della errata esposizione dell’alimento, per un tempo prolungato, a temperature superiori ai 6-10°C, possono indurre la formazione di elevate quantità di istamina in grado, in assenza di alterazioni di odore o di sapore, di causare anche gravi casi di intossicazione alimentare nel consumatore.</p>
<p><strong>Quali possono essere i problemi per il consumatore?</strong></p>
<p>Esistono livelli differenti di sensibilità all’istamina con la possibilità di presenza di sintomatologia, in individui sensibili già in presenza di contenuto di istamina appena superiore ai limiti di legge. Una quantità pari o superiore ai 500 milligrammi per kg è riconosciuto essere il livello soglia oltre il quale la maggior parte delle persone manifestano una sintomatologia contraddistinta da vomito, nausea, crampi addominali, emicrania, arrossamento del viso e del collo, vertigini, caduta della pressione sino, nei casi più gravi, ad arrivare ai fortunatamente rari quadri clinici dello shock istaminico che può addirittura condurre alla morte.</p>
<p><strong>Come evitare problemi?</strong></p>
<p>La conservazione dei pesci a basse temperature è in grado di rallentare in misura consistente la sintesi di istamina batterica. Questo richiede grande attenzione da parte di tutti i protagonisti della filiera dei prodotti ittici nel rispetto della catena del freddo: dal momento della cattura, alle diverse fasi di commercializzazione, al trasporto sino all’esposizione per la vendita al consumatore.</p>
<p><strong>Anche il cittadino ha però grandi responsabilità:</strong> in molti casi infatti le caratteristiche dell’alimento ottimali al momento dell’acquisto sono alterate da comportamenti scorretti nel trasporto e nella conservazione dal punto vendita e presso il proprio domicilio. E’ pertanto importante un acquisto attento che valuti lo stato di freschezza (ad esempio per i pesci: occhio convesso, colore lucido) e come il prodotto è esposto (su banco refrigerato, con abbondante ghiaccio sotto ed intorno), e l’adozione di precauzioni per conservarne le caratteristiche durante il trasporto a casa (evitare soste al sole e impiegare borse termiche con i siberini) dove l’alimento deperibile deve essere prontamente posto in frigorifero in attesa di essere cucinato al più presto.</p>

<description><![CDATA[August 14-16, 2009. The Great Wall Project (of Mumbai) (Part 1) happened over the mega Independence ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>August 14-16, 2009. The Great Wall Project (of Mumbai) (Part 1) happened over the mega Independence Day weekend and I got to know about it through a close relative.</p>
<p>Inspired by him, I, accompanied by a few family members, rushed to Tulsi Pipe Road a.k.a. Senapati Bapat Marg, Mahim.</p>
<p>There we saw an awe inspiring sight of scores of fellow Mumbaikars, armed with paint brushes and paints, lined up from Mahim station all the way till Matunga Road station, painting walls with some of the most beautiful paintings I&#8217;ve ever seen.</p>
<p>Being a holiday and ours being an impromtu decision, we rushed to Magnet hyper market located nearby, and picked up a few spray paint cans.</p>
<p>We did a few wall segments and felt really proud. While our work and skills were nowhere near to what was on display, the fact that we were contributing, made us feel one with our city.</p>
<p>A few days later, I noticed a poster covering my painting and i promptly got down from my car and ripped it off. That was the last of it and I did not see any other movie posters covering mine or any other painting after that day.</p>
<p>October 25, 2009. Sunday<br />
The Great Wall Project 2 takes place. This time at the Lower Parel end of Tulsi Pipe Road. The residents of Mumbai have learnt from their first experience. They are better armed and also much better planned. This time around the paintings are really awesome. Some are so good, that it may put even the legendary M.F. Hussain to shame. One that really caught my eye is this Diwali painting with a lot of glass and diyas stuck on it. Absolutely marvelous!</p>
<p>My relatives make up for my absence and paint a few walls and I feel proud for them and for my city.</p>
<p>October 26, 2009. Monday.<br />
I avoid taking the Bandra Worli Sea-Link and pass by Tulsi Pipe Road to glance once again at those magnificent walls.</p>
<p>~~~ S H A T T E R ~~~</p>
<p>More than a quarter of these painting are covered by garish movie posters of upcoming Bollywood releases.</p>
<p>I seethe in anger, I will not let some dumb posters dampen the enthusiasm on my city. I stop my car once again and start ripping the posters off. Only difference between August and October being the monsoon. This time round the poster has not been dampened by the rainfall. Along with the posters, I realise that the paints coming off too. I stop. Dont wanna damage any painting below.</p>
<p>And then the next morning, scores of newspapers carry the pictures of the mutilated paintings. The twitterati are at it. Condemnations fly thick and fast but what we need is action.</p>
<p>And Action finally it is. Word is out. All to meet Saturday October 31, 2009. This time with brooms and brushes and soap water to clean off the posters that deface all the efforts put in by the people. Clean Up Mumbai, Chaka chak Mumbai !</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Me enteré que esta disponible ya en la cartelera nacional, una nueva película mexicana que fue percibida por los críticos como prometedora, entretenida, original y con muy buena fotografía.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Aquí les dejo el tráiler, y espero poder comentar más al respecto después de ir a verla.</span></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/fQZneJuDLi4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/fQZneJuDLi4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">ACTUALIZACIÓN</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">Ya tuve la oportunidad de ir a ver la película de “Oveja Negra”, me causó sentimientos encontrados, por un lado me gustó la fotografía de la película, me encantó como se iban encadenando los argumentos, valió la pena ir a verla, una historia sin duda muy original, pero por otro lado no me gustó que el director planteó un México muy pobre, una historia rural, que puede hacer que los espectadores de otros paises se creen un estereotipo de México muy pobre y bananero, cuando México no es tan solo eso, tenemos mucha industria, grandes científicos y artistas destacados, ciudades hermosas y una hermosa civilización mezcla de dos culturas.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#000000;">No va faltar la gente en otros países que piense que todo nuestro país es así, pero bueno es tan solo mi opinión, y no tengo la intensión de ofender a nadie.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Me pregunto si el director del Hotel <strong>Masaccio</strong>, en <strong>Florencia</strong>, tendrá idea de qué nombre ha dado a su establecimiento. Conozco de igual manera varios bares llamados <strong>Unamuno</strong> y solamente observo suciedad en la barra y muchas colillas en el suelo. También creo saber que estos nombres no atraen por llamarse así o asá: <strong>no tienen ese encanto los nombres</strong>. Aún.</p>
<p>Masaccio vivió 27 años y pasó gran parte de ese tiempo entre muros sin imprimación de iglesias hechas según el estilo de ese momento. Masaccio es <strong>esencia viva</strong> de la cultura renacentista, es la esencia viva de Florencia; una ciudad que parece joven y que lucha por no pudrirse.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1468" title="trinidad_massaccio" src="http://eljuiciodeparis.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/trinidad_massaccio.jpg" alt="trinidad_massaccio" width="250" height="505" /></p>
<p>Un año antes de morir<!--more--> dejó su <strong>herencia</strong> a la humanidad: su <strong>&#8220;Trinidad&#8221;</strong> (1427) desplegó horizontes hasta ahora imposibles en los frescos. Y en los lienzos. Todo setenta años antes de que <strong>Colón</strong> descubriese América.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;solo puede resucitar por obra de una violenta transfusión de esas energías, de esos modos de sentir propios de los pueblos del &#8216;tercer mundo&#8217;. Ellos tienen verdadera &#8216;alma&#8217;, ellos poseen la belleza de la negrura y el Eros&#8221;.</em></p>
<p><strong>George Steiner</strong>, fragmento del <strong>&#8220;El Castillo de Barba Azul&#8221;</strong> (1991).</p>
<p>Nos queda <strong>hundirnos con Occidente</strong> generando así alternativas para la cultura.</p>
<p>Nota: no tratemos de definir cultura.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Nilsa deitou-se para dormir como nas demais noites. Como de costume, demorou a pegar no sono. Raramente sonhava, e dormia noites tranqüilas. Mas essa noite foi diferente.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">***</p>
<p>O padeiro bateu a porta, como fazia todas as manhãs, para levar pão fresco a sua cliente. Tocou a campainha e ninguém atendeu. Olhou para dentro e viu na cozinha um copo quebrado. Empurrou a porta que rangeu e entrou na casa. O padeiro achou que algo deveria estar errado, pois Nilsa nunca deixava a porta destrancada, ele sabia que a garota sempre tomava muito cuidado e preservava ao extremo sua segurança. O silêncio reinava, a casa toda bagunçada: móveis e vidros quebrados, paredes ensangüentadas, objetos pelo chão. O padeiro não acreditava no que via. Por fora a casa estava intacta, mas por dentro era uma catástrofe total. O que se passou durante aquela noite para a casa estar daquela forma?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>La calles de Nueva York guardan un gran secreto. Entre tanto rascacielos, tanto tráfico y tanto ir y venir de gente que camina a toda prisa se descubren unos pequeños puestos llenos de color en los que parece que el tiempo se para. Uno se pregunta si sigue allí, en Manhattan, o ha sido teletransportado a otro lugar&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_796" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-796 " title="Greenmarket" src="http://descubriendoelmundo.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/p9020420.jpg?w=300" alt="Green Market en Manhattan, Nueva York / Foto: Ana B. González Carballal" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Greenmarket en Manhattan, Nueva York / Foto: Ana B. González Carballal</p></div>
<p>De repente, el gris de los edificios cede su protagonismo a los verdes, rojos, naranjas y amarillos. Formas perfectas y cálidas sobresalen en un entorno colmado de cemento. Son los Greenmarkets o Farmer&#8217;s Markets. Aquí los neoyorquinos hacen un paréntesis, le ponen el freno a su ajetreada vida y apuestan por una comida más ecológica y orgánica. Atrás queda la comida rápida, parece que, ahora, lo que se lleva en la ciudad es lo sano, lo verde&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_798" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-798 " title="Greenmarket" src="http://descubriendoelmundo.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/p9020425.jpg?w=300" alt="Neoyorquinos de compras en un Greenmarket de Mahattan / Foto: Ana B. González Carballal" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Neoyorquinos de compras en un Greenmarket de Manhattan / Foto: Ana B. González Carballal</p></div>
<p>Los productos de la huerta invaden calles y avenidas. Los granjeros de los alrededores llevan sus frutas y hortalizas directamente al consumidor final. Se rompe la cadena. De la granja al cliente sin pasar por el supermercado. Y parece que funciona. Hay mercados de este tipo por un montón de calles de Manhattan, 46 en todo Nueva York.</p>
<div id="attachment_800" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-800" title="Greenmarket" src="http://descubriendoelmundo.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/p9020423.jpg?w=300" alt="Puesto de frambuesas y otras frutas en un Greenmarket en Manhattan, Nueva York / Foto: Ana B. González Carballal" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Puesto de frambuesas y otras frutas en un Greenmarket en Manhattan, Nueva York / Foto: Ana B. González Carballal</p></div>
<p>Lo ecológico se impone y, lo bueno, es que lo hace a un precio razonable. Aquí se puede hasta regatear, bueno casi. No se regatea pero los precios son variables, cambian en función de la oferta y la demanda. Parece que esta opción se impone cada vez más a la de los grandes supermercados. Los puestos están a pie de calle, son muy accesibles y, la verdad, todos los productos tienen una pinta exquisita. Es difícil no pararse ante uno de ellos.</p>
<p>Aquí no compran sólo los neoyorquinos de a pie, estos pequeños puestos también atraen a importantes chefs de la ciudad. Por lo visto, son ya muchos de estos grandes profesionales de la cocina los que optan por surtirse en este tipo de mercados. Aquí podéis ver a uno de estos famosos chef de compras por uno de estos mercados, el de Union Square.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/DYzGyRyGLvU&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/DYzGyRyGLvU&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>

<title><![CDATA[Coming soon: Shepard Fairey's Tole Painting Class]]></title>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>As a one time art major (until I figured out that I could not make the kind of living that I wanted to make) I can explain something about pop art and how truly bogus *most* of  it is.</p>
<p>And this is how easy it is for you to do at home:</p>
<p>Take a photo of Campbell&#8217;s tomato soup, for instance. No, really.  Take a photo of it. Put it in a projector/enlarger that reflects on a canvas or watercolor paper or wall. Pencil the photo onto the canvas or wall. Then, start painting or coloring it in.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s how easy it is. That&#8217;s what Warhol basically could do with a soup can or a photo of Marilyn Monroe or any number of famous people. That&#8217;s how I painted a mural, in high school, of Minnie Mouse on a hallway at my alma mater. (Now to be clear, this is not exactly how Warhol did it. He silk screened the image of Marilyn onto canvas.)</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 286px"><img src="http://imagecache5.art.com/p/LRG/8/849/IYNY000Z/andy-warhol-gold-marilyn-monroe.jpg" alt="Called Gold Marilyn Monroe this is Warhols portrait that hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in NYC." width="276" height="450" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Called &#34;Gold Marilyn Monroe&#34; this is Warhol&#39;s portrait that hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in NYC.</p></div>
<p>Photoshop and other web sites online will also allow you to take a photo (maybe of yourself) and add effects that make it look like a cartoon or a painting. (And considering that Fairey admits to deleting computer files, I have to wonder how much Photoshop or similar software was used in his Obama poster.)</p>
<p>With these &#8220;techniques&#8221; anyone can be an artist. Kinda like dummy-ing down art or maybe &#8220;Art for Idiots&#8221; or to be less offensive, &#8220;Art for the Paint Brush Challenged.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, this brings me to Shepard Fairey and his now infamous portrait of Obama.</p>
<p>From the beginning, this guy was a thief. He stole an idea, an image and modeled it with &#8220;technique.&#8221; That&#8217;s all he did. Technique cannot be confused with talent. Anyone can learn a technique, but not everyone has a talent or a gift.</p>
<p>Fairey is a street graffiti artist; in street vernacular, he is a tagger. He is nothing more than that. And now with <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,568042,00.html?test=latestnews">his latest admission</a> that he lied to his attorneys (in addition to the court and everyone else) that he used another photo rather than the one that the AP claims he used and his admission that he deleted computer files to cover up his lies, he will never be anything more than that. And any art piece he does from this point on will be viewed as suspect.</p>
<p>Anyone can learn the iambic pentameter of a sonnet and write one. But not just anyone can be William Shakespeare or write anything like he did. Anyone can learn the technique of painting on wet plaster (fresco) but not just anyone can do Michelangelo&#8217;s Sistine Chapel.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 570px"><img src="http://www.usc.edu/programs/cst/deadfiles/lacasis/ansc100/library/images/056bg.jpg" alt="Look familiar? Its my avatar: the finger of God and at the creation of Adam." width="560" height="281" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Look familiar? It&#39;s my avatar: the finger of God at the creation of Adam. From the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo.</p></div>
<p>Anyone can learn Photoshop software and do this:</p>
<div id="attachment_627" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 128px"><a href="http://rartee.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/charliemeav.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-627" title="charliemeav" src="http://rartee.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/charliemeav.jpg" alt="You guess it: that's my face, imposed over a Chaplin photo." width="118" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">You guessed it: that&#39;s my face, imposed over a Chaplin photo.</p></div>
<p>But not just anyone can be Charlie Chaplin.</p>
<p>From this point on, Shepard Fairey will be nothing more than a man who learned some techniques and arrived at *almost* the right historical place at the right historical time.</p>
<p>Warhol pulled it off. Fairey never will.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 543px"><img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2009/02/05/arts/obamaAB.jpg" alt="The AP photo and the Fairey rip-off." width="533" height="391" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The AP photo and the Fairey rip-off.</p></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_46" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-46" title="El Rodeo Bar, Bloomington, California" src="http://chrissylong.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/el-rodeo-bar.jpg?w=300" alt="Best place to be a piece of A@#." width="300" height="274" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Best place to be a piece of A@#.</p></div>
<p><strong><em>There&#8217;s a megalomaniac running the antique store across the street.</em></strong> &#8220;Roberto&#8221; of &#8220;Roberto&#8217;s Antiques.&#8221;  Beto wasn&#8217;t happy with just one clock&#8230;he had to open an entire shop of clocks! (who buys clocks?).  Clocks, schmocks&#8230;he thought&#8230;so he took over the &#8220;Antique shop&#8221; that was run by the lady who made empanadas in the back.  It was okay he thought, &#8216;Cecelia  basically stuffed her shop with her comadres&#8217; garish garage sale goodies&#8217;  But Beto was gonna sell good stuff!   On Beto&#8217;s open house, I personally,  found things like:  <strong><em>&#8220;a Raggedy Ann and Andy and The Fat Policeman lamp&#8221;</em></strong> with a garish and un-matching (but no harm), Barney shade attached to it!!  SCORE!!! No need to ask about provenance here! As I chatted up  Roberto, <strong><em>he made mention of his sister who was a chola who was &#8220;getting her head together&#8221;</em></strong> and who had run with the Maravilla gang.  &#8220;Raggedy Anna&#8221; was her &#8220;nickname&#8221;  I recognized it.  I was privy to her artwork on my way back from the paintball field I had dropped my son off at, and the entire reason I was perusing this corner of the world.  To kill time and explore.  Raggedy Anna worked there on Saturdays, Beto was feeling altruistic and I feared a little controlling. <strong><em>I managed a squinty untrusting smile,</em></strong> feeling totally uncomfortable but trying to hide it.  I shook off the  &#8220;sad proud creepies&#8221; and couldn&#8217;t believe my eyes!  Right in front of me was probably <strong><em>the best example of a 1960&#8217;s T.V. artifact!  a  table RIGHT OUT OF MARLO THOMAS&#8217; APARTMENT!!! </em></strong>&#8220;That Girl!&#8221; was my favorite show and THAT RIGHT THERE&#8230;was the table she and Donald sat at and argued back and forth as he shook his head wildly!!! How I LOVED that show!  I always had to run and get a hat from my mother&#8217;s room and be back quick enough to sing the song and throw my hat at the same time as Marlo in that mysterious street in New York!  I just knew I would be just like her!  A single independent girl living in her dream, her life all planned out, just one big series of planned out steps to surmount! a cool apartment in <strong><em>New York!  A Donald! a hat to throw every week!! What a life!!! </em></strong>&#8230;.Yah right, back to reality.  The closest I ever got was, &#8220;A Steve&#8221; (who mark my words is actually 1000 times BETTER than &#8220;The Donald&#8221; and a house in L.A. which is pretty great too, i must say&#8230;  But  on closer inspection, <strong><em>&#8220;The Donald Table&#8221; looked as though &#8220;Donald&#8221;  &#8221;got up on Marlo&#8221;  (if you know what I mean) in fact, quite a few times! </em></strong>and sadly bent one of the legs!  I took the table anyway, thinking, &#8216;hey!  this may be a bit of  hollywood&#8217;s erotic history?  what else might I find to add to my &#8220;Erotic Hollywood Furniture collection?&#8221;  The bed that Demi Moore and Robert Redford  uneasily made love in for &#8220;The Proposal?&#8221;  My mind was afire with potential finds.  But my pristine memory of Marlo and Donald was nonethelses besmirched by the introduction of the idea that the two had premarital sex. My virgin eyes!  How could this be?  Well here was evidence . There was even a bit of clothing snagged on one of the phillips screws attaching the metal tube leg onto the underside of the lined metal rim going &#8217;round the length of the table. I dared not visualize what THAT could be!     So I expect after closing shop on one of those manic selling days,  Beto, <strong><em>The Power hungry &#8220;Luche Libre Lion of Bloomington&#8221; probably sat in his rusty Jetstream  parked in the Bloomington junkyard (I know cuz you could see it from the 10 freeway), strategizing like that evil burlap doll out of the movie &#8220;9&#8243;.</em></strong> No doubt he figured out how to take over that 99 cent &#8220;water store&#8221; and adjoin his &#8220;antique&#8221; store to it, cuz that&#8217;s just what he did.   With much elation one day, after again ditching my kid, not wanting to watch the paintball practice, I again felt the call to peruse the junk (er&#8230;quality second life merchandise)&#8230;sorry&#8230;<strong><em>I actually spotted  a &#8216;john travolta LP in one of the bent up cardboard boxes! (the Marilu Henner days)</em></strong>&#8230; &#8230;and as if this tattered box wasn&#8217;t enough of a &#8216;gold mine,&#8217;  I spotted another masterpiece!  <strong><em>The hairest angel  in tenor vocal history!&#8230;.Mr. Barry Gibbs!</em></strong> Oh!  I was all aglow, spotting his rough and tumble  mug on The Bee Gees&#8217; &#8220;Children of the World&#8221; L.P.!!!   I was two for two, things were really going my way!   The planets were aligned until the moment <strong><em>I pulled the vinyl out to inspect it&#8230; it was sadly&#8230;.  scratched to HOLY OBLIVION!!! </em></strong>.  I would have to sniff out deals another day.   Little did I know, a month later,  I chanced upon an article about my &#8220;Short on stature and high on real estate,   &#8220;Luche Libre Lion of Bloomington.&#8221;    &#8217;Why&#8230;that mini-mogul had bought the third space!&#8217; I said out loud at the Starbucks I was visiting with one of the PTA ladies from my son&#8217;s school.   Wow&#8230;to think on  that little cracked block that reeked of depression, fish tacos and spoiled horchata, my friend,  El Rey de Bloomington, or as I called him, &#8220;La Luche Libre Leon de Bloomington might need a top hat, a tux and a cane soon.  Like &#8220;Rich Uncle Pennybags&#8221; from the game Monopoly!   If I could give him a &#8220;LOL CATS&#8221; caption&#8230;It&#8217;d say:  &#8221;I&#8217;m wanna be Moguls kay?&#8221; Noticing my surprise at the article I was reading, my friend Anabel said, &#8220;Oh, what&#8217;s that your reading?  You&#8217;re laughing, I&#8217;m curious, what is it?&#8221;   So I began to explain the terrain of that  lovely stretch of stank some call Bloomington, and who &#8220;La Luche Libre Leon de Bloomington&#8221; was after all.  I may have been too poetic about the entire year I perused the Junk in that stretch of town, just for fun, for stories and as a way to waste time.  Roberto took properties by storm not unlike a Mexican Nazi War Machine&#8230; but of course alot nicer.  I told Anabel about the place with the &#8220;high art&#8221; across the street from Roberto&#8217;s, (a little bar &#8220;with a fresco on the front that virtually advertises mamacitas potentially available for sexual harassment and a few games of friendly pool).  I let on about the fact that El Rey, the iconic Bloomington &#8220;faux-tique&#8221; dealer had his eye on buying that bar, but it was virtually untouchable for &#8220;El Rey.&#8221;  He explained the speedbump to me one day,  &#8217;it belongs to two brothers, Manuel and Danny and their pretty good dudes&#8221;  he said.  &#8221;they&#8217;d never sell.&#8221;  <strong><em>Roberto could only call it his watering hole and a place to pick up some &#8220;mamacitas&#8221;and play some games.&#8221; </em></strong>as he called them.   No matter how bad he wanted to resume his game of risk and &#8220;be the Ottoman empire&#8221;&#8230;this place was OFF LIMITS!!!   It&#8217;s cool&#8230;hey&#8230; <strong><em>where else can an hombre rope a m</em></strong><em><strong>amacita in Shakira pants, a crop top and HUMONGOUS&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; earrings!</strong></em> (check the picture, she has enormous earrings).  I went on to tell Anabel about <strong><em>my personal perseverance in a sea of used CRAP just to escape the dust and four hours of testosterone and expletives. .</em></strong>.. I did make sure she knew that this <strong><em>&#8220;El Rodeo&#8221; bar was not place to to cool your heels or &#8220;ride a bull&#8221;  but the the best place to BECOME A PIECE OF ASS!!  if you&#8217;re not careful. ..</em></strong>.especially when El Rey de Bloomington &#8211; announces quitting time and&#8230;.. let&#8217;s already let Raggedy Anna go home for the day.</p>
