i’m not saying i don’t fucking love ‘AM’ and basically everything they do, but sometimes i really miss their “rough” sound. today i sat listening to this over and over again with headphones and found myself saying “i miss when they were so feral!” i meant it as a joke, of course, but it hit me - i wanted to let go of all the metaphors and hidden messages and pretty painted images formed from turner’s lyricism. i wanted to go back to the more explicit, care-free and slightly shallow monkeys. the monkeys who talk of one-night stands and drunken nights out. the monkeys who can sing…

… and get away with it.

“I don’t know. He’s in his own world, that kid. He like, comes up with mad little phrases like that and stuff. Like, “I’m gonna write that” and then he put ‘ASBO’ on there… We don’t question him a lot 'cause he starts freaking out.”

as a black woman i don't have to be your backbone. you should already have one, and so should i.

as a black woman my place is not behind you, but next to you.

as a black woman i don't serve or obey you. we work with each other in a partnership as a team.

as a black woman i am not your subordinate to discipline or put in line.

as a black woman i am the creator and only hope for black people's survival via my womb.

“Voguing came from shade because it was a dance that two people did because they didn’t like each other. Instead of fighting, you would dance it out on the dance floor. And whoever did the better moves was throwing the best shade, basically.

You could take the pantomime form of the vogue this is what, generally, sometimes I do is I make my hand into a form like a compact or a makeup kit. And I’m, like, beating my face with blush, shadows, or whatever, to the music. Then, usually, I’ll turn the compact around to face that person… meaning, like, almost like my hand is a mirror for them to get a look. Then I’ll start doing their face, because what they have on their face right now needs a dramatic makeup job. So voguing’s like a safe form of throwing shade.

The name was taken from the magazine Vogue, because some of the movements of the dance are also the same as the poses inside the magazine. The name is a statement in itself. I mean, you really wouldn’t go to a ball to do the “mademoiselle.”

Like break dacing, the dance takes from the hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt. It also takes from some forms of gymnastics. They both strive for perfect lines in the body, awkward positions, but it goes one step further.It’s starting to make a name for itself, but I want it to be known worldwide and I want to be on top of it when it hits. I want to take voguing not to just Paris is burning, but I want to take it to the real Paris and make the real Paris burn. That’s what I want to do and not just there, but to other countries as well. My house name is Ninja, and I would really like to take my whole house and go to Japan and really let loose and do it and have them accept it there. I want to be a big star.“

“He is lounging on the olive green velvet sofa with two patterned pillows. Very focused in. (No eliminations.) Very French. Also a bit, alas, Sargent.”
