That's pretty much the entire reason I included the second picture.

Anyway, that's plenty enough about her. Instead of talking about her pictures, now that you have a nice new camera, you should really just give me something more worthwhile to look at...

You got presents for christmas????
You're so lucky!
I got an iPOD cover.
I got Anaxarete the Factory Girl book.

And HAPPY FUCKING BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Hi there, sweetie!

The man left the US under 'mysterious circumstances'.........(political reasons)......and lived around the world for 15 years. He came back when he started seeing his photos in print & thought, "Hey, those are mine!" Turns out, everybody thought he was dead & figured they could steal his stuff. (There's a long story here......best explained in person.)

I asked him recently if he ever thought his subjects (he was a photojournalist during the Factory years) would be relevant forty years later.......and he said no.

Yeah, the Fields fit is also typical of these people. Such freaks.........

But welcome to the Factory group.......we keep a fairly low proflile.

It's actually a walkway around Stanley Park, though there are maintenance vehicles about... On a nice day you can see the big ships coming in from China!

That's a bass, not a guitar!

I'll tell you some secrets - these 'Superstar' people are whacked. For the most part, they are narcissists, liars, thieves........and now they are old & UGLY to boot!! And the new hangers-on are even creepier - living off the mythology of the dead. Some are even impostors (Edie's 'niece'? Fake.) Most of them are so removed from reality it's gross.

However, there are some originals & 'second-generation' who are genuine & lovely & our good friends. My man tends to attract the younger crowd - he's got a bad reputation historically, but that's because he's honest & not everybody appreciates that. (He started out as a photojournalist - the Factory was a long-term subject - although he never thought it would last.....forever?)

I hope you like the book - we're kind of disappointed with the editing job. The text is really good, the photo reproductions are overly designed. Oh well........there are more photos (thousands), so more books in the future.

And FYI, I consider Ciao Manhattan a snuff film. When your star literally dies at the end......what else can you say?

(Jude Law, hee hee. I'm a fan - he bought our art.)

where did you meet him? what do you do for work?

Perhaps not good by objective quality standards, but it shines at what it intends at, in my opinion. It's just kind of a goofy stylized film, and it's really effective towards those ends. Plus, it IS beautiful.

ha! its all a trick of the camera lens

Yes you are amazing...

i was able to do it because i had a ton of money saved up from my old job, an amount well into five figures. i was living with my parents for a while there, so i was able to save up a lot of money as a result. i had been working for basically ten years straight, and after how burnt out my old job left me feeling i decided that i deserved some time off

Hahahahaa Ok, so I'm a bit slow on the uptake sometimes.

Ha, so the patrons only got to experience some of the sexiness, their bad luck.
I like what you do around your eyes, major style points there.

Interesting...

hahaha yeah lets just say some girl couldn't keep her lips to herself. and no one told me it was there so i was totally unaware until i went home and looked in the mirror. i guess people thought it was part of my costume. did you have fun for halloween?

you look great. i'm gonna be Alex from A Clockwork Orange this year. i have everything except the suspenders. hope you have fun

Very nice! The make-up suits you better than it did her

Just saying hi. Its been awhile and you are never online...

Whatever, Noseworthy's in Idle Hands. I freakin love that movie! Haven't seen you this side of forever. Granted that goes for most on here.

You were born to rock the go-go boots.

THE KINKS RULE OK!!!!!!!!!!!

And I've seen Ric around.
He lives near Gramercy park with PAULINA!!!!!

Oh, Jets To Brazil - Blake is an old friend of mine.
His old girlfriend used to play bass in my band FRENCH.

He was a genius...one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

"Imagine" will be playing at my funeral...even though I won't be able to hear it.

I'm so happy to have the Beatles Anthology...

Shine On, John
