the internet is a race

I love these pillows featuring sex offenders from the artist’s, Mike Simi’s, home town. The gallery describes it as, “anonymous fear deployed with comic means to pitiful though joyful ends.” Okay. Which reminds me, tomorrow is the last day you can bid on my pillow of Cindy the Erotic Pleaser. Cindy is an sex worker, not offender, but I think all these pillows could find a nice home in someone’s Victorian window-box reading area.

you may be done with the past, but the past isn’t done with you

from the Mercury:
“Everybody in Portland knows Cindy! (If not, you’ll see her picture in the back pages of the Mercury every week.) Now you can be the envy of practically everyone with this limited-edition “Cindy the Erotic Pleaser” pillow. This ready-to-cuddle-with pillow is embossed with the lovely reclining image of Cindy as taken by professional photographer Scott Jackson. BUT HERE’S THE THING: There are only 10 of these puppies in existence, and we’re auctioning off each of them individually. Once they’re gone? THEY’RE GONE FOREVER. Don’t miss the collectible (or perfect gift) of a lifetime!”

Wow… they called me a ‘professional’…

Bid here.

This bored kid reminds me all the bored kids that appear in so many Gary Winogrand photos.
