This magic moment















Artist: Lou Reed
Song: This Magic Moment


This magic moment
So different and so new
Was like any other
Until I met you
And then it happened
It took me by suprise
I knew that you felt it too
I could see it by the look in your eyes

Sweeter than wine
Softer than a summer's night
Everything I want, I have
Whenever I hold you tight

This magic moment,
While your lips are close to mine,
Will last forever,
Forever, 'til the end of time

So why won't you dance with me?
Why won't you dance with me?

This magic moment
So different and so new
Was like any other
Until I met you

And then it happened
It took me by suprise
I knew that you felt it too
I could see it by the look in your eyes

Sweeter than wine
Softer than a summer's night
Everything I want, I have
Whenever I hold you tight

Talibán norteamericano, prisionero de guerra: EU


CAMPO RHINO, Afganistán, dic. 9, 2001.- (AFP)

El talibán estadounidense hecho prisionero en el norte de Afganistán y detenido en la base militar estadounidense al sur de Kandahar, Afganistán, es un "prisionero de guerra", declaró este domingo un portavoz del ejército norteamericano.

David Romley, el capitán de infantería de marina, dijo que John Walker es un prisionero de guerra y está detenido a la espera de instrucciones de un mando superior.

La víspera el mismo oficial declaró que Walker estaba detenido por su propia seguridad.

"John Walker está detenido aquí por su propia seguridad y va a ser transferido a las autoridades civiles estadounidenses tan pronto como sea posible", señaló el capitán David Romley, un portavoz de los marines, a los periodistas presentes en la base.

No hubo explicaciones sobre este cambio de actitud, que parece ligado a los problemas con la justicia que podrían ocasionarle a John Walker su enrolamiento en las filas de la milicia islámica, que concedió refugio a la organización terrorista Al Qaeda, de Osama Bin Laden.

La decisión de los militares esadounidenses también podría estar relacionada con la convención de Ginebra sobre el trato a prisioneros de guerra.

El capitán Romley no quiso decir cuándo llegó el joven a la base estadounidense, y no permitió que los periodistas accediesen a él.

John Walker Lindh, de 20 años, fue entregado al ejército estadounidense en el norte de Afganistán tras haber sofocado el 1 de diciembre un motín que enfrentó prisioneros talibanes a combatientes de la Alianza del Norte, en la prisión fortaleza de Qalae-Jangi, cercana a Mazar i Sharif.

Cientos de prisioneros y un agente de la Agencia Central de Inteligencia estadounidense (CIA) murieron en la revuelta.

Los padres del joven, Marilyn Walker y Frank Lindh, que están divorciados, comunicaron a través de un abogado su preocupación por la salud de su hijo, al que quieren visitar.

Responsables norteamericanos reconocieron que desconocen por ahora el tratamiento que reservarán a Walker, cuya nacionalidad fue verificada.

Numerosos estadounidenses lo consideran un traidor, pero de momento no fue
inculpado.

Sus padres aseguran que fue víctima de un lavado de cerebro. El propio John
Walker declaró al semanario Newsweek que se había convertido al islam cuando
tenía 16 años tomando el nombre de Abdul Hamid.

Agregó que había viajado a Yemen para aprender árabe y luego a Pakistán, donde ingresó en una madraza, una escuela religiosa.

Según un amigo de la familia en San Francisco, el último contacto que John Walker mantuvo con su madre remonta al mes de abril, cuando le dijo que
estudiaba el Corán en la Provincia del Noroeste, en Pakistán.

Edie Sedgwick - The Ciao! Manhattan Tapes









hi guys and gals,

check out the great review of edie: girl on fire on warholstars:
http://www.warholstars.org/news/ediegirlonfire.html

gary comenas aptly states that “the publishers have not made the mistake of emphasizing style over substance. there is enough substance in edie girl on fire to please even the most die-hard edie sedgwick addicts.” the book is full of great writing and insightful quotes, which come together to tell edie’s story in a way that stays true to her realness. comenas also remarks upon the book design and the photographs, observing that these elements of the book are completely substantive as well: “the book’s design reinforces the intention stated by melissa painter in her introduction” to capture the sensation of standing next to edie sedgwick, of getting caught off guard by her, of holding her attention… although many Warhol books promise “previously unpublished” photos, this one really delivers. particularly mesmerizing are the early photographs such as the one taken by edie’s brother jonathan on page 18. it’s easy to dismiss edie as a sort of pop icon but she was a real person and her “realness” is reflected in jonathan’s photo.” commenas has a great observation about jonathan’s photo- it is that kind of attention to detail that we find throughout painter and weisman’s beautiful, candid, living portrait of edie. comenas sees that edie’s realness is too reflected in this important book.

enjoy.

Film Review - Factory Girl




The vibrant 1960s New York art scene has never seemed as boring and programmatic as in George Hickenlooper’s Factory Girl, a pointless excuse for the director to recreate hep locations (the Factory, the Hotel Chelsea) and counterculture icons (Andy Warhol, the Velvet Underground). As a biopic of Warhol’s favorite superstar, Edie Sedgwick (Sienna Miller), Factory Girl is shallow, devoting more time to her dull, scant romance with the faux-Dylan Billy Quinn (Hayden Christensen) than the demons really plaguing her, the sexual abuse she suffered from her homophobic father. If it’s an incomplete portrait of Sedgwick, it’s an even more worthless one of Warhol, unconvincingly played by a ghostly-pale Guy Pearce — then again, it’s hard to fathom a better Warhol than Jared Harris in I Shot Andy Warhol. Hickenlooper employs grainy, faux-vintage footage to enhance the period authenticity and employs the kind of psychedelic camera trickery most film students outgrow before their thesis project, which helps exude the icky vibe of watching a Behind the Music under the influence of a mediocre bong hit. Even the sex scene lacks spark, its Red Shoe Diaries sultriness utterly out of place.

Took a test - WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL ?
results>>>

Pure and simple — an elegant woman like you takes pride in how you look, whether you're headed to work, a party, or even just the grocery store. And you don't mind taking your time and making the effort to put your best foot forward.

You love to dress up, and we bet you always have. You have fun experimenting with makeup, hair, clothes, glitter, or satin, and anything that sparkles can be your best friend. It's not that you don't know how to go au naturale, but you have the most fun when your gorgeous glamour shines through. That's high style!
There's nothing wrong with being a little different.

How to be a Bitch

Step OneThink about numero uno.
The reason a woman or sometimes a man can be classified as a bitch is primarily because they are only concerned with themselves. If you think about yourself ahead of all others, you are placing yourself in the prime position to become a bitch. From now on it's not about anybody else but you. You do what you want, talk to who you want, have sex with who you want, all of which are aimed at fulfilling your needs. Why? Because you are starting to be a bitch.

2Step Two

Drop the nice act. Are you always going the extra mile to help a friend? Are you always putting in the extra five bucks when everybody goes out? Then don't. Stop. Don't say please, don't say thank you. Expect people to help you. Tell them why they must help you and put you above others. Be blatant, be demanding and...just be a bitch!


3Step Three

Seek revenge. If someone has screwed you, if someone has been a bitch to you in the past, now it's time to give it right back to them. Mark your target and go after them blatantly. Once you have your mark, find out what really excites them, pleases them, or makes them happy, and absolutely destroy it for them. If your co-worker has to leave early and you're always getting stuck with her extra work, next time she tries to pull it, leave the pile of work on desk and simply walk out. Tell her it's her responsibility. Other tricks great for revenge are blatantly ratting someone out, forward embarrassing emails, pictures or telling wildly inappropriate stories about them in front of their parents. Like the time they had sex in the bathroom at Thanksgiving. Perfect!


4Step Four

Keep it up. A bitch isn't simply a snide woman one day and then completely fine the next. That can just get chalked up to PMS. No, a bitch is a woman who keeps up her bitchiness for long periods of time. She denies sex for long periods of time, refuses to assist people, puts herself head and shoulders above everyone, her favorite word is "no." This is not to say that a bitch can't be nice now and again. But if she is, it is only used as a tool to get what she wants. And the fact that she is nice surprises everyone around her. Congratulations, by following these steps, you are officially a bitch!

Fly the ocean in a silver plane and see the jungle when it's wet with rain











You belong to me - Vonda Shepard

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember that all the while
You belong to me
See the market place in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
I'll be so lonesome without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome, too
And blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me
Maybe you'll be lonesome, too
And blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me
Maybe you'll be lonesome, too
And blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me

Key Largo





























Key Largo - Bertie Higgins
Wrapped around each other
Trying so hard to stay warm
That first cold winter together
Lying in each other's arms
Watching those old movies
Falling in love so desperately
Honey I was your leading lady
And you were my hero

CHORUS:
We had it all
Just like Bogie and Bacall
Starring in own old late, late show
Sailing away to Key Largo

Honey can't you remember
We played all the parts
That sweet scene of surrender
When you gave me your heart
Please say you will...play it again
'Cause I love you still
Baby this can't be the end

Here's lookin' at you kid
Missing all the things we did
We can find it once again, I know
Just like they did in Key Largo
