“Often the Muse will not respond to direct and logical requests. She must be lured in with the playful and gentle” – Jill Badonsky
As a professional writer and avid traveler of North America, I often take advantage of the cheap deals existing for the most-traversed of all American flight routes: ATL to New York City, which could be to any of that area’s three major international airports. The World’s Busiest Airport saw over ninety-four million visitors pass through her gates and concourses in 2011, while I was a year removed from the utter nightmare that bartending on the Delta Concourse in Atlanta was. Back to town – back to the central city – where the Capital of the South has made great cultural strides since the Olympics swept through in 1996.

The Haus: From Government Hookers not giving a Sheibe and Paris runways getting werqed twice, from Judas and Jo Calderone to Laurie Ann overthrown, please believe we always left a key under the welcome mat for Hauskeeping to keep a humble home – if not beasted and broken in the best way known
In response to our recent article entitled “Four Reasons Why It’s a Bad Idea to Date an Artist,” here are four reasons why It’s a good idea to date an artist.
New York has always been a haven for artists. Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, James Baldwin, Keith Haring, Madonna, Jay-Z, the list can fill a Twilight of the brilliant artists that have once been inspired while living in the city of dreams. The Maidstone’s latest exhibition, I’m An Artist Living In New York explores the connection between the city and artists by highlighting photography of the artists at play in the city.
I think a lot. In fact, recently, one of my friends even gave me the quote, “Don’t think so much when it isn’t warranted.” That friend was completely right. I think entirely too much and usually I think about the wrong things. I did, however, misinterpret the quote. I was under the conclusion that thought was the thing that needed to be slowed down or changed, but I was wrong. It was and is the things that I was thinking about that needed to be shifted.
Pop Art, like all good pop has really stood the test of time. Kinda like Madonna, one of Andy’s prophecies, what’s dismissed early on as frivolous and momentary finds a way to stay relevant has more “fine art” drifts in and out. In his recent show Pop Fiction at Toy Art Gallery, Francesco Molfetta keeps the tradition going.
When the tabloids went to town, Andy Warhol followed. The late pop artist who has been described as an artistic voyeur was of course a noted news junkie. You can keep your books of Job and David, The New York Post was Andy’s Bible. Warhol: Headlines, a new exhibit running at The National Gallery of Art focuses on Warhol’s so-called Headline paintings.
aNed Kelly is a notorious Australian gangster considered a cold-blooded killer and is symbolic in Australia for political resistance. Think Scarface, but with a purpose. Grace Kelly is an iconic American actress that is known as much for her poise as her monologues. “I use to be obsessed with Grace Kelly. When I get married, I want to dress like her. She’s so gracefully chic. […] if i was a diva, I want to be that diva without the diamonds.” Iggy Azalea spiels about Ned Kelly over lushing about how much she misses meat-pies from her hometown of, Australia, and easily changes subjects to her love of Grace Kelly.
