Neon Neon

I love these guys and their concept/images. Good tunes based on the life of John Delorean.

Pix!

Some really ill pics I took on a rainy night last week. I love the fact that the iphone can be used like a manual shutter speed camera. MM$

Word!

I love words! Writing, reading, fonts, meanings, all of it. One of the things I love most is learning the history of words. If you do too, then check out the "Online Etymology Dictionary". It has pretty ill $hit like:

cunt Look up cunt at Dictionary.com
"female intercrural foramen," or, as some 18c. writers refer to it, "the monosyllable," M.E. cunte "female genitalia," akin to O.N. kunta, from P.Gmc. *kunton, of uncertain origin. Some suggest a link with L. cuneus "wedge," others to PIE base *geu- "hollow place," still others to PIE *gwen-, root of queen and Gk. gyne "woman." The form is similar to L. cunnus "female pudenda," which is likewise of disputed origin, perhaps lit. "gash, slit," from PIE *sker- "to cut," or lit. "sheath," from PIE *kut-no-, from base *(s)keu- "to conceal, hide." First known reference in Eng. is said to be c.1230 Oxford or London street name Gropecuntlane, presumably a haunt of prostitutes. Avoided in public speech since 15c.; considered obscene since 17c. Du. cognate de kont means "a bottom, an arse." Du. also has attractive poetic slang ways of expressing this part, such as liefdesgrot, lit. "cave of love," and vleesroos "rose of flesh." Alternate form cunny is attested from c.1720 but is certainly much earlier and forced a change in the pronunciation of coney (q.v.), but it was good for a pun while coney was still the common word for "rabbit": "A pox upon your Christian cockatrices! They cry, like poulterers' wives, 'No money, no coney.' " [Massinger, 1622]

Mario Ybarra Jr: The Black Squirrel Society
Opening ReceptionTuesday, 24 June 6-8 PM
Lehmann Maupin201 Chrystie StreetNew York, NY 10002
Telephone 212 254 0054
info@lehmannmaupin.com
Mario Ybarra Jr. will present a multi-media installation entitled The Black Squirrel Society for his first exhibition in New York at Lehmann Maupin's 201 Chrystie Street gallery. In Ybarra Jr's artistic practice, he consistently explores the space between what is the norm and taboo in American culture from a particularly Mexican-American perspective. Bordering on the absurd at times, he continues to explore the conflation of social spaces and interactions whether imagined or real.
See you there!
