I don't know why this film genre ever died... Corny to some but I find them inspiring. Basic Instinct, Sliver, Body Double, Fatal Attraction. All have such incredible set design and visual inspiration that's so creatively stimulating. The plot lines are so stupid but young Michael Douglas is hot, so who cares!
My favorite movie genre. Iām just going to list a bunch that I love: The Last Seduction, Crash, Secretary, Body Heat, Cat People, Call Me, I could go on and on.
It had me thinking uncouth? thoughts. For sure it was a sexually stimulatig film but the extent to which the makers decided to push it is astounding to me. It had me thinking about knowing where to draw the line in cases of severe infatuation and/or sexually charged relationships/affairs. As a person who wants to explore her sexuality to its deepest end, but is also a little emotionally avoidant and is easily weirded out by intimacy, films such as ITRTS make me feel like there is some level of compulsion or obsessiveness? that I haven't quite felt with the men I've been with. In my head I be having the filthiest thoughts but rarely does it translate to the bedroom.
I've gotten really into the side hobby of strassing things with rhinestones... I go to bohemian crystal in downtown la and get all my supplies then just sit and spend hours hand placing rhinestones onto whatever prop or accessory I've decided to bling out. Not everything needs to have rhinestones though, that would be lame... But I like strassing random things or props. I have a gold rhinestone toy gun in my house, working on stoning a pack of cigarettes right now. The E6000 glue must be killing my braincells though.
Almost all of my furniture is 80s deco/ post modern. I love Karl Springer furniture. Anything that embodies the vibe of Miami Vice. It sounds funny but my next album was really inspired by that kind of interior design. I feel like when I see certain images of sleek 80s decor I can hear the kinds of songs that should be playing there. Everyone should sex up their home with a little jaguar stature or some faux marble tables... Mirror above the bed, that kind of thing y'know?
The earliest bits of hollywood gossip! I'm fascinated by Kenneth Anger. I love his films, his books, everything. I recently watched a documentary about him on youtube and it made be a bit obsessed. He's a true Hollywood icon.
