ABSTRACT EXPRESIONNISM

DATING AND FUCKING IN THE 21st CENTURY

“When you're interested in somebody and you think they might be interested in you, you should point out all your beauty problems and defects right away rather than take a chance they won't notice them. Maybe, say, you have a permanent beauty problem you can't change such as too-short legs. Just say it.“ My legs as you've probably noticed are much to short in proportion to the rest of my body". Why give the other person the satisfaction of discoverig it for themselves?".

«MUSCLES ARE GREAT: EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST ONE THAT THEY CAN SHOW OFF»

A company in Japan is trying to improve the food service industry one muscular man at a time.
Macho 29 is a group of buff, Japanese men who take over various food experiences across the country with lots of flexing and very little clothing. It's been called a reverse Hooters, and so far, it has gained a loyal following. 

Earlier this year, the performers opened up their very own Macho Cafe in Tokyo. Servers in tiny tank tops presented dishes such as the "Macho-ed Eggs Double Bicep Flavor" and elaborately squeezed whipped cream on top of pancake orders as a line formed around the block. Macho Cafe is only open sporadically, but diners can pay extra to get the most out of the experience. Roughly $4 buys you a 15-minute conversation with your server, while $27 buys you the chance to be surrounded by a "Wall of Meat" (aka, a circle of flexing men).

«POP ART IS FOR EVERYONE»

«Andy was the pope of Pop and Reagan was the first pop president. A movie star as president was a Warhol fantasy come true. It wasn’t that Andy was politically aligned with Ronald Reagan, but the idea of someone who came out of a Hollywood star system and was “created” by Warner Brothers becoming president is very Warholian. They also both came from very poor families in obscure places in the middle of America. Both were mama’s boys. Their mothers’ lives both revolved entirely around their church (in Andy’s case it was the Eastern Rite Catholic Church and Reagan’s it was the Disciples of Christ). And both seemed so nice and harmless in a way. I think they were both underestimated. »
