Bling Bling!



Gary told me a story many years ago about Jack Smith, who got a grant of several thousands of dollars to finish his movie, Normal Love. Well, he took the money down to the Bowery and spent it all on a giant crystal chandelier for his funky loft. Isn't that an exquisite art gesture?

So what did I do today with the money I made at the Whitney? I got my nose pierced with the BIGGEST DIAMOND STUD they had at New York Adorned.

In honor, I guess, of Jack Smith.

Nada I think it is only fair that you share a picture of this nose with us, or at least: me.

O yes, never fear. I just want to let the swelling go down first. It's not like I shy away from auto-portraiture.

that's fucking rad. I love it. I used the money I made from reading in Durham to buy one bottle of white wine.

I must say I enjoy having a diamond as part of of my face.
