Naked Circus Chicks
So, Clint calls to tell me that there is this enormous black and white
charcoal painting in (Cafe) Brasil...the painting depicts partially naked
trapeze women. No shit.
In fact, the theme throughout Brasil is some kinda psychotic circus stuff,
complete with suicidal clowns...yadda, yadda, yadda.
So, we went to lunch there today so I could see this piece. My god, it is
beautiful...and rather large.
My first thought was I want to BE IN THAT painting. I want to stand just in
front of the painting, partially naked (from the waist up), in a trapeze
moment.
So, I enquire about the artist, the girl hooks me up with his number, I call
him and "explain," we have a great conversation, and he tells me to go for
it...(altho, he asked, "Just partially naked?") tee hee
He agrees as long as I send him some prints. He wants to hang them in his
gallery, "Museum of the Weird" and he invited me out to check it out.
Then he called me back - wanting to know where I perform my trapeze act. So
I had to explain the whole past-life thing to him, the whole monkey thing.
And Ya know - he never skipped a freakin beat.
