SuicideGirls snagged a pair of tickets for the much tweeted about one-off collaboration between Duran Duran and filmmaker David Lynch at The Mayan in DLTA on Wednesday night. The event, which was also being broadcast live via YouTube and Vevo, was part of the ongoing Unstaged concert series from American Express, which has previously featured Arcade Fire, Sugarland, and John Legend & The Roots.
32-year-old model Mia Tyler comes from rock royalty. The fashion designer, actress, author and now music manager is the daughter of Aerosmith front man (and American Idol judge) Steven Tyler and the late-Warhol muse and Bowie video chick Cyrinda Foxe (she and Tyler sustained a rocky marriage from 1978-1987). But, Mia is a rebel of her own making. She stands for living out loud – and loving your body exactly as it is! *That’s not to say she doesn’t have some amazing body mods!*
An advocate of “plus-size” modeling, she’s appeared on the runways of New York and Paris and in Vogue. As she says, “Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and packages. Including ME!”
I had an exclusive interview with the bold brunette – and she had some revealing insights about female friendships, forging your own path and her favorite pastime with sister, Liv.
“I grew up understanding the Bible to be myth.”
-Michael Moorcock
Michael Moorcock is among the greatest of all writers alive today – irrespective of genre. Alan Moore wrote, in his introduction to Moorcock’s Into the Media Web, “Look up the word ‘author’ in a dictionary and you’ll find a photograph of Michael Moorcock.”
At an age when most are barely learning to drive, Moorcock wrote and edited for magazines. He first attained fame (and notoriety) during his legendary tenure as the editor of the science-fiction magazine New Worlds from 1964 to 1971, and was the center of what many called the “New Wave” of science-fiction writers.
The material New Worlds published was often politically radical and wildly experimental, more William S. Burroughs than Robert Heinlein (who, in fact, called it a “‘sick literature’ of ‘neurotics’ and ‘sex maniacs”).
This week we commune with Tarion Suicide and get the gospel on her fave SG group: Atheists.
WHY DO YOU LOVE IT?: I have no idea where people find half this stuff but it’s always good for a laugh or at very least a good vent. This group is the A-Z or atheist topics and jokes and is extremely active. It’s full of very interesting individuals and is a fantastic group if you are like-minded.
DISCUSSION TIP: Always have your facts straight!
BEST RANDOM QUOTE: “I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence.”
WHO’S WELCOME TO JOIN?: Come all ye unbelievers, freethinkers, blasphemers, doubters, heathens, heretics, infidels, scoffers, skeptics – hell even you wishy washy agnostics.
This Sunday (Mar 27th) our very special in-studio guests will be Cali rockers Drive A. The quartet will be talking about their new album, World in Shambles, and the upcoming Revolt Tour, which hits the road on April 6.
“It’s a book about a bunch of attractive young women kicking ass…”
– Cameron Stewart
Cameron Stewart is a familiar name to comics fans. He has been working in the industry for years, but it was 2004’s Seaguy, a Vertigo miniseries from writer Grant Morrison, that put him on the map. Since then there have been several more of high profile projects including a sequel to Seaguy entitled Seven Soldiers: Guardian, a story arc on Batman and Robin (also written by Grant Morrison), and the Vietnam War miniseries, The Other Side (with Weapon X writer Jason Aaron).
