here are some shits that I drew. and by shits i mean doodles or something..this one above, is clearly Sheena is a Punk Rocker...but she has a jellyfish shirt, that makes it original and stuff
this one here is obviously Zap Mama, she is epic and I made her look more white by accident because I'm bad at drawing faces at that 3/4 angle, its tricky shit man..
that up there is me as a bee licking some flower..but i have no legs.. thats ok though because bees don't like touching things...just licking..
here is a jellyfish opus i haven't finished and probably never will..notice how much white space i'd have to fill in order for it to be even be CONSIDERED real art or...maybe i can just scribble some stuff on it and it would be cool beans
this was inspired by walking around la plaza de la intendencia, and thinking about poor people and how it must suck, and then i was like but they have music as well...and art...they still have hands, mouths, tongues, fingers, etc...they can survive i guess...so this is like...el llanto de la plaza or canto de la plaza or something like that
I usually try to draw on "good drawing paper" but i always end up drawing more interesting stuff on lined notebook paper when i'm supposed to be doing something else

Crazy Chick Music
So my boyfriend. among his assortment of rock nacional, ACDC, 80s hits, and various other nonsense, has one album by CocoRosie. I listened to one song for about one second and couldn´t do it anymore...the singing was like...an old lady trying to seduce her trillions of cats...I have no idea...
Later I stumbled upon the video for Lemonade by them, and was intrigued and confused and all sorts of things...bearded women and crazy costumes, and a song that alternates between some sort of 30s style song and a freaky lament...and then random keyboard in the middle, that shit was weird..but you can´t help but keep watching....

and then you dig deeper and find some other crazy stuff, and see that of the two sisters, Bianca certainly has a semi crossdressing fetish going on, which is weird because it looks good on her...but then you´re just aroused and confused haha...here´s them doing a cover of Turn Me On
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JZ72mXy_W0
I have no words...its like, a ladyman with a squealy voice, plus beatbox...and harp...and a tape recorder with someone speaking french...I think they just fell into a dumpster and crawled out with a song....a musical dumpster in France..
But they have some creepy passion, so you can´t look away...its like watching some hobos having sex...its sort of repulsing but you have to think and realize that everyone needs love, and that you shouldn´t judge them so harshly...and that you should stop staring at them...
In contrast we have Zap Mama, who I discovered when I was first here in Argentina on exchange. Here´s one of their very first songs..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvppQYwpukc&feature=related
At first you might be weirded out as well by the crazy outfits and complete lack of inhibitions, but its so fucking catchy you don´t care after a few seconds. I think the difference here between them and CocoRosie is the creepiness factor...I wish I could say that every single day of my life I´d be comfortable sporting a moustache, but I´m really not that androgynous...unless its Halloween..
I guess I´m more about being a woman, but being whatever kind of woman you want and embracing it to the point that you´d be comfortable walking around naked...role-playing is sort of a different thing for me...like you can´t do that shit all the time...but then if you´re an artist you can do whatever you want and people will praise you like some sexless god recently emerged from a hole in the desert...
My point is, Zap Mama is cool with me, and CocoRosie still freaks me out a bit...

Dorian Gray and other such aventuras
Gay clubs are gay, but totally in the way that gay used to mean, but also that they are for homosexuals. And bisexuals. And heterosexuals.. so basically they're for everyone, and you're gonna have an effin good time. Or a gay time. Same thing.
I've been to two other gay boliches (clubs) before last night (well its morning times now so I guess Saturday night is what I mean, but that was also this morning? whatever): Zen and Gloss. Zen is super duper! I met 5 straight guys there, so ladies be careful, they know your game of going to gay bars to let your guard down...they will be looking for you....creepy.. But it has pretty sweet music, not a whole lot different from your average boliche, but waaaay more dance floor and more electronic music...and random shows, with travestis of course..
Gloss is a bit smaller and farther away, I don't really remember where because I went with friends and they drove and I don't pay attention to where I am when someone else is driving but that's not relevant sorry. Gloss has far more travestis and is therefore...more fun...because you go into the women's bathroom and some awesome travesti is in there reapplying eyeliner and lookin supa fly. The music is the same as in any boliche, Zen has better music.
Anyway, back to Dorian Gray. On Saturdays they have theme "parties" where a bunch of actors dress up and make you uncomfortable if you're not drunk yet. Santa Kitsch is the name of the series of fiestas, and the one I went to was a Paris theme. Make sure you bring ID though, no one told me about that and I've gotten used to Nueva Cordoba where no one really asks for any. So once you convince the bouncer that you're almost 22, in English, you walk into a room with a bunch of hearts and decorations and actors, one of which is a killer travesti (I don't know why, but I always love the ones that still sort of look manly in the face, it's just classier to me, like they don't care if you know they're not biologically women) and at this even she was pulling people aside to dress them up in random swathes of fabric and stand them on a pedestal, like a mini photoshoot. I got pulled aside and was super excited (if a travesti thinks you're cool, you're fucking cool). She draped me in a sparkly black fabric and secured it with a big-ass white ribbon and then posed with me. Super way to start the party. There was also a girl on a swing with fake peacock eyelashes...on a swing...and other girls dressed like French sluts or whatever. I'm not sure if any of them actually knew French, but they were saying "Bon soir" instead of "buenas noches" and stuff like that. So probably they didn't know any. But it was cool..
The music was EPIC! Electronica with beats you couldn't even imagine. Of course they played one or two "boliche" songs, but who cares. It was so packed you could barely dance, and I was getting so distracted checking everyone out that it didn't matter anyway. Gay guys are fly, everyone already knows that, but to be surrounded by them is pretty awesome. Finally the room with the actors was converted into a second dance floor, with a different DJ and everything, so if you happened to get bored with awesome music, you could go over and listen to OTHER awesome music. Killer. They did, however, start playing a shit ton of cumbia later on in the night, but this included a cumbia remix of "Oops I Did It Again" so I can't complain too much. There was also plenty of area to sit if you got tired of dancing/were totally wasted. I went home with a giant heart painted on my face and a stolen glittery cardboard heart that I stole off the wall. It was good times.
I still want to do a tour of all the gay boliches in Cordoba, but it can be hard to find people to go with sometimes.
PS: sorry about not using accents, I'm on Windows and don't know how they work haha...should get on that...
