BLUE

Local homecoming attire trends still short bodycon spaghetti strap dresses, with sequins or beads, and sneakers or cowboy boots, if pics posted by friends with teens are any indication.

Priscilla Queen of the Desert screening in Laramie WY: a group of 8(?) showed up in drag w sequins, heels & feather boas. Met with applause & cheers, they did a full promenade around the theater before sitting in the front row. This was 4 years before Matthew Shepard.

@mementomorty.bsky.social another dress that made me think of you. Not as edgy but absolutely gorgeous:

A gauzy dress in ombre with gray at the top merging into a lovely warm orange at the bottom. It has a collar around the neck with a neckline deeply cut to the waist. It's a gauze underlay with all the colored bits done using beadwork and sequins. Detailing includes  gray and orange leaves with more gray in them at the top of the dress graduating into more orange at the bottom. It is stunning.

saw the Great Rivers Biennial at CAM in St Louis last weekend and was really moved by a 2018 piece by Ronald Young and the overall installation of 2024 work by Saj Issa (10th-c. pottery shards, and plein air painting outside Ramallah interrupted by IDF), but also enjoyed Basil Kincaid's quilts

a corner of an airy boxy room with one wall made of glass and the other a white wall, slightly shadowed on an overcast day. on the wall a wood and iron casement with a partial external frame hangs suspended by slavery-recalling chains. in the corner, bricks from the underserved, burned neighborhoods nearby (in the direction of the corner, actually) lie in a broad, haphazard pile along a crooked fragment of iron fencing with pointed finials (Ronald Young, Out of Sight--Out of Mind, 2018)
detail of a quilt showing multiple fabrics including bright green and white sequins on a white, green, and pastel highly patterned, bunched fabric with applique flowers in various shades of peach sewn adjacent to other, more matte but also multicolored fabrics. 

Basil Kincaid, Within This Seed Is the Gift of a Thousand Forests, 2024
a glass amphora form suspended by the handles from a forked metal wall mount. it is filled with shards from 10th-c. pottery.

Saj Issa, If I Don't Take It Someone Else Will, 2024
many amphorae painted in various colors including bright yellow swathes and filled with long, tall flowers in a white room with a concrete floor. most of the vessels are mounted on tripods but three, two noticeably misshapen, sit directly on the ground.

Saj Issa, Landscape Amphorae, 2024

"The round prodigy of a mulatto girl called Paulina the Scuffler or Paulina the Brawler had once been crowned Queen of the Carnival by the revelers of the Euterpe's Marionettes Carnival Club and paraded through the city streets, covered with sequins, on their leading float." ~ #JorgeAmado
