I thought Shelley was really nice when I saw here. She stayed around after the reading and talked with a bunch of people and seemed really laid back… It might have been because she was hosted by the University of Alabama faculty, who are really laid back too. - mimi—

Yeah, the Fashion Severe connection is weird; is this borderline ‘exploitation’? Korine is BFFs with Chloe’ Sevigny, is he not? Did you ever see Zoolander? Remember the ‘Derelict’ (pronounced ‘de-re-LEEKT”) collection? - mimi—
I do see individuals (it’s almost always a lone person, not a ‘kid’, and ‘homeless-looking’ , sorry, this is terrible, I feel bad) drinking from a cough syrup bottle on a street corner and acting crazy. I think there are mental health issues. I don’t... - jesusangelgarcia—

With the connect to Adam Robinson, I was wondering if this was shot in B-mo. And yeah, how is it that this film appears on the Proenza site? Am I missing something? I clicked around and everything I saw was Fashion Severe. So strange. Needless to say, I’m inspired. - Tony O'Neill—
oh my comment appeared in the wrong place anyway, mimi. but, now that we’re talking, do you really see people stoned on robotussin on street corners? thats wild, i dont think ive ever seen that. i always figured that was more of a school kid thing. robotussin isnt very...

Good, Blake. I was afraid you thought the two douches were Handler and Pantsy Magee for razzing Tan while she was simply trying to share her falsely modest tale of woe.

what a great move for derrida to make at the end there. did you know that he wrote a novel? and played football? i’d like to see both of those things.

McCall Smith is sort of a charming douchebag, though. Tan seems insufferable.
I also like that Smith seemed to have used the money from his books to buy a time machine, use it to go to 1976, and buy those pants from Johnny Rotten.

Amy Tan is kinda insufferable, kinda kinda, but check out her TED talk. She tells about her background/family and explains “where she’s coming from”. I haven’t actually read anything by her (she’s not “my bag, man”) but I did see the movie “The Joy Luck Club” a long time ago and liked it as family story/entertainment. Anyway, she’s also kinda “known, discussed a lot” in Bay Area creative writing bogus shit, old ladies trying to write their memoirs, etc. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I don’t mean to sound too harsh here, it’s just not the kind of thing I particularly want to read.) But a lot of people (old ladies I guess) do. I really shouldn’t ‘talk” like this, I’m gonna be an old lady some day. And probably gonna wanna write “the story of my life”. I’m a bit grouchy this morning, and yet trying to defend Amy Tan, kinda, sorta. Weird. OK.
i love the way handler looks at tan after facetiously imitating her. surprised by the colonoscopy jokes; seems unbecoming of her.
