the General Idea - by Jessica
One of the coolest artists that I should have known about forever and just discovered. He was part of the artist trio General Idea for 25 years (they hosted transvestite beauty contests in the 70's, playfully recontextualized Duchamp, and painted with poodles for brushes). And his cohorts' pseudonym, Felix Partz, was the title of a song on the Peaches' Fatherfucker.
It all comes around.
Anyway you all should take a look. He also talks a lot about his favorite magazine, Butt, which for some reason reminded me of Joshie.

I think I am offended. I would never read a magazine that's website features a merely half-naked twinkboy bathed in lavender light. Lavender!
I am a high art fag. I go for sepia-toned twinkboys.
Joshie! That's becuase it's Tongue-in-Cheek! Yikes. I never took the publisher of Fagistan as a consumer of only Very Serious Queer Literature.
Extremely very serious. To the max. Only.
And I am not a "publisher." I am a ruthless, heartless dictator.
I forgive you though, because the magazine is called Butt and also because I don't hate you.
So I finally went and read some stuff on the Butt website and I happened to pick an issue with AA Bronson giving a guy a butt massage. I hope you read that. It is awesome. I want a butt massage from him so badly.
So when are you going to book that butt massage with me?
