Thunderbitch! By Ellen Forney.
The Thunderbitch exhibit that has been running at the Tether Design Gallery in Seattle all month is, about to end. Which means if you haven’t seen it, you only have two more days to make things right by GTFO to see it. The exhibit features graphic works and rock posters done by women artist based in the Pacific Northwest, dating back to the 1960’s. The way I look at it is like this; if you like girls who like to rock and love art, this one is a slam-dunk.

The Sex Pistols now have their own perfume.
Have you ever wanted to smell like three week old BO, vomit, a broken bass guitar (covered in piss), heroin, stale blood and brill creme? Well you can’t. And that’s because none of those things are in the new” Sex Pistols” perfume just launched by French beauty house Elat Libre D’Orange last month. Who knew black pepper was “defiant” or that prunes were “turbulent”. Well, Johnny Lydon probably knows a few things about prunes but, that’s another matter. All aging-punk-rock-idol-laxative-jokes aside, here’s what a “Sex Pistols” actually smells according to the French POV:
Fresh, restless bite of lemon, sharpened and intensified by defiant black pepper. It’s the unruly turbulence of a prune and an in-your-face ambrette. Electrified by aldehydes, you can feel the pure energy pared down and pumped up by leather, shot through with heliotrope and brought back down to earth by a raunchy patchouli.
I can’t argue with the fact that patchouli actually is pretty raunchy smelling so, I’m sure Sex Pistols is going to be a nose-smashing success. So far, it’s only available at Sephora locations with a Euro postal code. Which is far enough away for me.

Alice Cooper and Salvador Dali, 1973. For LP.
Of the more than 100 works by Salvador Dali currently on display at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta is Dali’s 1973 holographic image of Alice Cooper. Here’s a link to the image Dali dubbed the “first Cylindric Chromo-Hologram Portrait of Alice Cooper’s Brain”. For the session, Cooper donned over 2 million dollars worth of diamonds (including a tiara) while clutching a statue of Venus De Milo. When it came to Cooper’s “brain”, Dali constructed a plaster mold and topped it with a chocolate éclair, covered in ants. Anyway, if that’s not metal, I don’t know what is.
