POST WARHOL PREDICTION: IN THE FUTURE A WOMAN MAGAZINE WILL WRITE: ARE YOUR PUSSY LIPS TOO FAT? A QUIZZ FOR YOU!
The blog about the ongoing influence of Andy Warhol's philosophy in the 21 st century. From art to instant fame, sex, beauty, celebrity gossip obsession, business or fitness why we live in a Warholian world more than ever.
«The people who have the best fame are those who have their names on stores. The people with very big stores named after them are the ones I'm really jealous of. Like Marshall Fields.»
Gee, Paris Hilton will be more popular than ever now that she's out of jail. I guess she studied Roman Polanski and Martha Stewart...(Winner of an Oscar for his movie «The Pianist» Roman Polanski once spent forty two days in a California prison for unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13 year old girl. Meanwhile in March 2005 Martha Stewart the queen of home decor left prison with a new contract for a TV show and the stocks of her company sharply on the rise. Newsweek magazine then titled: after prison thinner, wealthier and ready for prime time».)
Walked on the street yesterday and some guy was doing advertising for his club. And he was saying things like: « This is Disneyland for your hands». Gee, that's a great line. Is this what kids are learning in marketing schools now?
I guess in the future religion and the money obsession will merge even more. So there will be a lot of interesting things to watch. A business sponsored new religion will have some guy receiving the revelation on top of the Chrysler building. But the most likely thing to happen is the apparition of a brand new cast system. So some preacher will be able to say: «Die with 500 billions and go to heaven! Die with 500 millions and less and be reincarnated as a cow, 100 millions and less be reincarnated as a fly and so on...That will be great american marketing.
I like to read all those stories about the life of rich old men. But it's funny because the more they tell you about what they're doing, the less you actually know what they're really thinking. Sure they tell you this 89 year old billionaire play tennis or swim one hour every day but it would be much better if they were telling us what the guy is thinking when he wakes up every morning. Is he going to swim every day at 5 am thinking : I'm worth 20 billions but I'm 89 and going to die soon, or I'm going to die soon with 20 billions only so I need to hurry if I want to die with 21.
«When will a person not break a record?» If somebody runs at 2,2 does that mean that people will next be able to do it at 2.1 and 2.0 and 1.9 and so on until they can do it in 0.0? So at what point will they not break a record? Will they have to change the time or change the record? »
Now obese people On TV are really our new freak show for the 21 st century. I mean what would be the ratings of Dr Phil without all those obese women eating cheetos, oreos and pizza while the camera insists on focusing on their cottage cheese thighs? But the best thing is that people call it innovative marketing technique. Isn't it great?
I still don't know which way I prefer when reading about the biography of some famous person. ( 1940-) or (1940-?)...
«People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly».
«I think God made plastic surgeons. God gave us this intelligent concept. Use it if you can».
I like the way people at auctions try to justify the price of artworks. They will say that this $140 million Picasso «is a very nice composition» or that this $100 million De Kooning «really express the soul of the artist»..What should we say for a $5000 painting? «The artist needs money fast?»
Aujourd'hui avec la flambée des prix sur le marché de l'art tout le monde s'entend pour dire que cela ne peux pas durer. Comme la bulle des titres techno au début des années 2000 une correction est en vue. Evidemment tout cela ferait sans doute sourire Andy Warhol lui-même, lui qui disait que plutôt que de s'acheter un tableau pour montrer son statut il était préférable d'accrocher des liasses de billets verts au mur...
People always say that if men are attracted to younger women it's because they 're «naturally programmed» to look for girls in their prime child bearing years. But I don't understand it. If a 60 year old gay men is looking for sex with a hot 20 year old boy it is because he thinks that will give him some nice babies?
«I love the gays because they're the only ones who'll dance with fat women».
«I'm confused about who the news belongs to. I always have it in my head that if your name's in the news, then the news should be paying you. Because it's your news and they're taking it and selling it as their product. But then they always say that they're helping you, and that's true too, but still, if people didn't give the news their news and if everybody kept their news to themselves, the news wouln't have any news. So I guess they should pay each other. But I haven't figured it out fully yet».
Some money coach was on Oprah yesterday. That's really great american marketing. Now you have a life coach, a fitness coach, or a shopping coach. I guess one day they will invent « straight sex coach for gays» and vice versa.
In his latest show Chris Rock joked that at 39 he still liked rap. Today baby boomers still like to listen to old 60's songs and many Madonna fans are in their forties. But I wonder about the current teenagers. Are they going to be 90 year old one day and still listening to 50 cents singing «shake that ass»? I'm not sure it would be a pretty picture...
«Fashion and art come together at Christie's London with works from the Ernesto Esposito collection which will be offered in the sales of Post-War and Contemporary Art on 20 and 21 june 2007. A world renowned art collector and a visionnary shoe designer who has worked with the fashion houses of Marc Jacobs, Chloe, and Louis Vuitton, Mr Esposito was a close personal friend of Andy Warhol and the last person to be painted by the artist».
«Walked down Fifth Avenue. Passed out Interviews. Tried to give them to a bunch of construction workers and they laughed me off and I got embarassed, but then another group of construction workers in the next block asked for some, so that balanced it out».
Everyone is so obsessed about being happy all the time now. I guess that's why so many people are totally stressed out and ..unhappy. But I really like the way advertising keep telling us to be happy though. Like all those guys and girls smiling non stop while doing crunches or working hard on the stairmaster. But at the same time I'm a little bit confused. Should everybody do the same in every situation? Should any single mother smile non stop for 30 minutes while peeling potatoes alone at night? Should old people have sex this way? Should school bus drivers do the same for 2 hours non stop every morning? Maybe that's the only idea left we have about what happiness is in the 21 st century..Maybe the rest is just now too complicated for us to understand.
The way people are making compliments these days really tell about social class. When a poor woman get a makeover all her friends tell her she look like a star, or like a TV queen...But the best form of compliment is like when Joan Rivers joked about the wife of the ex prime minister of Canada. She told the crowd his wife looked so good she thought she was the second wife. That's really the best upper class form of compliment.
Everybody is talking about God in America. But I always wonder about the after life with all that body obsession now. Are all these women going to resurrect with their body of before or after their plastic surgery? If you die at 100 do you resurrect with a 100 year old body for eternity?...
