Michael Clark Returns to Edinburgh After 20 Years Absence

Does anyone have £400 to spare?  Because that’s how much I need to hop across the pond tonight and see legendary rebel choreographer Michael Clark’s return to the Edinburgh International Festival.

Michael Clark New Work

In the 1980s and early 90s, the Scottish-born artist was renown for his ballet-punk choreography and collaborating with avant-garde bands, fashion designers and visual artists.  Check out this segment from Hail the New Puritans, featuring music by The Fall, costumes by Leigh Bowery, and filmed by Charles Atlas.

In the mid-90s, at the height of his career, Clark mysteriously disappeared.
  (He now says that drugs were to blame.)  But several years ago, he reentered to the limelight (including a triumphant show in NYC last year at Lincoln Center) with his seamless marriage of rock, fashion and contemporary dance.

His latest dance, New Work marks Clark’s first contribution to the Edinburgh Festival in 20 years. Still a work in progress, New Work is set to the music of rock’s holy trinity, David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed.

So if any of you sugar daddies are willing to shell out an all-inclusive trip to Scotland for a young, intrepid reporter, please send a check or money order to my attention, Suki Suki, U. S. of A.

Loud Objects with Tony Conrad and The Dowager Marchylove (embodied by Jennifer Walshe) On a beautiful sunny Sunday which should have been spent outside avoiding church, I shashayed to a local Queens exhibit hall, the Sculpture Center, for a bit of foreplay with contemporary performance art. There, I witnessed a collaboration by the Loud Objects with the always theatrical Tony Conrad and the naturally composed Jennifer Walshe for the event, “University of Trash.” The ordeal can best be described as… furry. With green, blue and pink blobs playing music while a mustachioed Dowager Marchylove sang, clucked and ranted. Not unlike an ice cream dessert, covered with coconut shavings instead of chocolate sprinkles. Suki Suki gives it five rice curries out of five.

Four, Five. Still alive! We apologize for the lack of updates, dear hot and heavy readers. The Sultana Suki Suki Boeyang, empress of light majestic and creatures of earth and wind, had three unfortunate surgeries this past year to recover from (she could not decide which gender she identified most with, so she tried out all of them). On the plus side, the operations did provide Suki Suki quite the incentive to return to her passion: gustatory herecy of the canonical cuisine. New recipes are forthcoming. Pinky swear.

I could really go for some brownies right now.  Do I want them bad enough to go to the store?  (The store is on the corner—but I’m still in my pajamas and I can’t quite fathom getting dressed yet.)

Fat minds think alike, darling.

I really do need to learn how to physically bond like Michelle and Barack. Anyone up for some fisting?

It’s cold snowy Sundays like these that make my home confinement feel not so bad after all. No slush to crawl through and mess up my leather knee high Manolos. I figure while I serve my time, why not get in touch with some of the little people, and answer some fanmail? Give them a little taste of the luscious living that is my own.

From: Li Ming Yan

Dear Suki Suki:

How do you keep your girlish figure so girlish?!?

Yours,
Li Ming (Laura) Yan.

Dear Laura:

It is no secret that we Indoarabilaysiphinos are blessed with a naturally high metabolism, but having become a culinary artist hasn’t exactly been the best to my 33-23-35 figure. Therefore, I make sure that after every meal, I eat a natural, organic, mild and yet devastating cathartic.

Cho had her comquats. I personally prefer my avocados. Yes, nothing purges your emotions (and your bowels) more than one or twenty ripe and ready to eat avocados.

The embedded pie recipe video by the Good Asian Drivers is a great way to start you off, as long as you skin, pit and eat them unlike what is shown.

And if you enjoyed it, maybe you can take a moment and vote for them in the Avocado Video Bowl contest?

With love and blessings,
Suki Suki
