I can't help it, but the above Les Sucettes video has been a favourite. The giant dancing lollipops..

Here is a YSL wedding dress from 1965, a bit funny.

Another 60's controversy, The Cake's "You can have him" video, in which one of the singers stands still and lip-syncs.

note : I don't think you can see the marquee element in action in your blog reader. Compatible with Firefox (best) & Safari (other browsers?). Not so much with Google Chrome, as some of the marquees don't work.

. . .

I've been spending time with a couple of my favourite html elements - the marquee and the table. Above is a virtual painting of their lovely coexistence. The ♥ symbol is now included in the Oxford English Dictionary. I guess I'm into that. The dark floating cloud at the bottom is a secret.

Marquee de belle is a marquee gallery blog, started in 2008, representing all of my works in marquee. Also featured is one of the early sketches for the above painting.

Pink Narcissus, by James Bidgood, 1971

2010-10-18T23:01:00.000-04:00

I had re-discovered an image from yearrrrrs ago. I went through a time machine.... perusing a Paper Magazine from high school. My eyes fall upon an image of an almost naked man that reminds me of the characters in Fellini's film, "Satyricon," 1969.

Pan
Click around and look at the gorgeous photos !

Has hints of Kenneth Anger's imagery.

Most of this film was created in his studio apartment during the 60s, as were his photographs.

This is such a gem. Here is John Waters presenting to you, Pink Narcissus. This clip doesn't include the film, just opening information and closing comments. From "John Waters Presents Movies That Will Corrupt You".

And a clip.

sidenote...............
Runtime:
71 min | UK: 64 min | UK: 70 min (video) | USA: 64 min (Strand dvd)

PS: Inspired by Bidgood, here is a Pierre et Gilles creation and lovely music video
