Ghada Amer,
'We are the granddaughters of the witches that you could not burn' ♀ #womensart

Is the video still up? I’d be keen to see it. At this point I think most high ranking men know - and have protected - multiple abusers. To be clear - I’m not at all suggesting this makes it ok - quite the opposite!
I’m sorry this happened to you.

Yes, exactly. I have such mixed feelings about it as it’s hard to celebrate something - as momentous as it is - when it really should just be the bare minimum that happens. I’m glad for Virginia’s children though.

This is a start. But Virginia Giuffre was let down on so many levels, so many times - starting with when she was a child. Trying to see the positive though - I’m glad there has been some sort of consequence for Andrew, and it does send a message to the abusers out there.

I have genuinely thought this for a while and at one point I thought I had what might be evidence, but I don’t want her to get caught so can’t bring myself to share it!

Painting of a woman in a room dressed in a long blue dress and head scarf pointing to a black cat on a green mat on the floor, on the wall is a picture in a frame of a black cat lying in exactly the same position on a green surface

In Western arts over time cats could be included in paintings as symbolic of ideas of mystery or female sensuality. Black cats particularly were associated with witches (aka wise women who had skills in healing).

I was exposed on a global stage, stripped open to extremes.

In a world that thrives on content, performance art insists on experience, on presence - an encounter that is fleeting, raw, and alive - reminding us that what cannot be owned may still be the most valuable of all - Millie Brown

Performance as a mirror reveals!

Agreed! 💕

Loved this post! I think I’m a NFR girl but your post has reminded me not to neglect Blue Banisters 🩵

Interesting you say that as I watched The Big Short the other day and it has Jenga in it and I’m sure it’s a NR film.

Reddit post showing Lana Del Rey/ Elizabeth Grant has registered a new song called First Light

Lana has registered a song called ‘First Light’ - dawn?!

I’m getting mermaid/siren vibes too

Also, do you remember when NFR was going to be Bird World? I’ve since wondered if Patti Smith’s Birdland has anything to do with it. The opal eyes and aliens…
Patti said it ‘exemplifies her band's communication and serves as a "telegram to the new breed" of people who will shape the future.

Apparently it was ‘leaked’ the other day! The timing of it is interesting. Lana 100% knows the deal as far as Hollywood and the industry are concerned. I sometimes wonder if she is one of the Cassandras

Thieves steal jewels of 'incalculable' value in seven-minute heist at Louvre museum in Paris France's Culture Minister Rachida Dati said the incident happened as the museum opened this morning.

7 min heist - my brain - help! 😂

There has not been a heist at the Louvre!?! In the film version of this play with in a play, this would totally be connected 🤡

That is interesting. Because bell hops have definitely seen things in those swanky celeb hotels…
Or someone ‘who carries things for others’ 🤔

Yeh some of the ‘tree’ lyrics made me raise an eyebrow 🍃

Happy Friday! Found this outside my home

'Many snakes shed their skin in October, a process known as autumn shedding. As a snake grows, its skin does not, so it must shed to accommodate its increasing size'

I see it as a sign of rebirth, renewal, personal growth.
In case this speaks to you too..🫶

Me too!

Great video by the way!

She mentions the After MidNite disco party - where she had her photo taken with Gloria Gaynor, which is interesting as it’s not the the first time disco/Gloria has come up. And also her name gets me 😂

I wrote this long thread about Robert Redford and Inside Daisy Clover 🍀 The ending of the film is 👀

Prince Andrew gives up royal titles including Duke of York after ‘discussion with king’ In statement released by Buckingham Palace, Andrew says he will give up titles and honours including the Duke of York

Presumably Virginia Giuffre’s memoir has something to do with this. I don’t know if it would bring her any peace or not. It’s hardly justice and so late in coming.
