Some of L.A.‘s fiercest painted ladies will be appearing in person and on screen at the Ultra Fabulous, Beyond Drag event produced by Austin Young and Saskia Wilson-Brown.
Here’s what the organizers have to say:
International in scope, “Ultra Fabulous, Beyond Drag: Part Deux” is a a celebration of gender identification—featuring androgynes, the transgendered, drag queens and tranimals… Going way beyond the boas, glitter and whip-smart sass, it aims to showcase a new filmic genre ?
No fatties or producers of bad or derivative art forms need apply.

Oh dear lord. Mushroom gangs? And not even for Special mushrooms? What are they, like roving Tom Bombadil guys with curly mustaches that make French-guy noises and steal your Portobellos at night?
It is a great French autumnal tradition that furnishes an essential ingredient in some of the nation?
Momus offers a style and lifestyle guide to the next decade. Just about everything on here seems spot on.
A new decade is a time in which to declare “everything you know is wrong”. A fresh decade is a time to jettison secure old knowledge and grope around for new. Since a new decade is just around the corner, let’s start groping now.

Fun animated short by Royal College of Art graduate John Kelly. John tackles the meaning of procrastination with an awesome retro design. Kinda reminds me of The Electric Company from when I was kid.
Chase Whitestead and Erick Stroll of New Left Media spoke to Sarah Palin fans at her book signing in Clumbus, Ohio. The object of their line of questioning is simple “Why do you like Sarah Palin?” and “Why do you think she would make a good president?” These are hardly trick questions, but not one of the people assembled there had an answer to either (or at least an answer that makes any sense). This is funny and sad at the same time. These people are so uninformed and gullible, it fucking hurts.
Here’s a replica Big Daddy costume shot at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. The designer of the 60lbs costume says,
This costume is a replica of the Bouncer-type Big Daddy from the videogame Bioshock by 2K. This piece was completed in 7 weeks for its debut at DragonCon 2009, where it won 2 awards for “Best Journeyman” and “Best Professional Design.” After initial press after DragonCon, I was contacted by Ken Levine of 2K games who said, “You are the Big Daddy.”
This Bioshock Big Daddy costume is currently up for bid on Ebay.

Comic writer and lord of nerd hell Warren Ellis posted this t-shirt design today, which will be available to purchase for one week only. I dig the sentiment and the “Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space”-style design. Leave it to somebody with government health care to tell us backward Americans what we’re missing out on. Warren says:
TOTW is basically a joke that Ariana and I pull each week in our joint guise as the International Electrophonic Unit. Basically, we take some of the stupider things I?
