hello friends! today's post is a powerful one. it features morty diamond (sex educator, performance artist, filmmaker, etc.) and glenn marla (performance artist, burlesque superstar). i had the pleasure of meeting glenn by way of serendipity in nyc. one night, we discovered that we had two mutual friends: his roommate, thailan, and dave end. what a world!
what i think is amazing about this video is that it manages to be vulnerable and artistic and playful all at the same time. so often the sharing of our stories and difficulties happens in a spirit of absolute seriousness with somber tones (understandably). but this bit of wonderfulness manages to express these stories in a way that is playful, loving, and open, without diminishing the emotional honesty of what is being shared. a truly remarkable accomplishment.
in love,
ge

"The House of Beauty" - Mark Doty
nobody reads a poem like mark doty. it's as if he is speaking each word for the first time, careful not to waste any sounds that might be missed by speaking without care. if you like poetry at all and you've never been to the dodge poetry festival, you haven't lived. it's sacred and holy. people get together for five days and read poetry to each other. what is better than that?

Bruce Springsteen!
bruce springsteen is incredible. this fact took me some time to realize. but now i understand...unfortunately all of his music videos are blocked from being embedded. no matter. his live performances will do just fine...the other problem is that i want to post every video of him ever. he's just so damn nice to look at!
if there is any good at all to be found in masculinity, bruce springsteen has found it.
and if you are yet to be convinced of his greatness (thanks jake), i will be happy to elaborate. just look at clarence, his sax player. his beauty rivals the boss!
in love,
ge
