Multiple Snow Whites as Perfomance Art

The artist, Catherine Bay, outfits performers in latex recreations of the famous Disney ensemble, and then they go about their business reciting a script that includes the lines:

My place in society does not allow me
to play Russian roulette,
to open a casino,
to carry on a sexual relationship with Bill Clinton,
to dress myself out of a fashion magazine,
to wear sneakers Made in China.

Whatever. I just adore the crude English translation of the French explanation: “The multiplied image of White Snow evokes the fall of marvellous in the industry of Disney, its effigy hung up again with our banality…”
There’s video here.

Fight Club Author, Chuck Palahniuk, Disappointed

From the Kansas City Star last week:

“You have no idea what it is like to constantly disappoint people. You see it the moment you meet them. You see in their eyes that they expected something so entirely different, and here they are meeting you.”

Chuck Palahniuk chuckles as he says this, steering his pickup down Highway 14 just on the Washington side of the Columbia River. He’s saying you can’t judge an author by his books.

Come to think of it, he’s wearing a black T-shirt that says “Disappointed” in Disney-style script.

Palahniuk (pronounced “paula-nick”) loves the irony of this…

That would be my Disappointed shirt. I gave Chuck one last year after he complimented me on mine at a “Haunted” reading.
