Name of my dress ( Penelope)

 

Why did you choose that name for your gown?

 

Dedicated to the actress Penelope Cruz wore a wide dress embroidered on the floor, which revealed a beautiful black train.

 

What was your inspiration?

 

The outfit was created for an event of great elegance and exclusive as the Golden Globe 2018.

The black dress, of enveloping Virtual Diva that wraps the body enriched in the top by the embroidery, is even more enhanced by the light and transparent application of a veil on the back.

 

To create an even more refined mix, Gizza's long gloves. Brooch, Earrings, Ring it's a Full Perm fron Virtual Diva and modified by me in gold. All this manages to postpone an almost statuesque image to the observer

Vintage press photo. Gina Gershon and Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls (Paul Verhoeven, 1995).

 

Paul Verhoeven's American erotic drama Showgirls (1995) is a curious phenomenon. The critics dubbed the production one of the worst films of its era. Showgirls "won" at the 1996 Razzie Awards for Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, Worst Leading Actor (Elizabeth Berkley), Worst Female Newcomer (Berkley), and Worst Picture Couple as well as Worst Original Movie Song. Verhoeven was the first celebrity ever who came to receive his Razzies. In the years after its original release, Showgirls gained cult status, grossed over $100,000,000 on rentals, and made it into MGM's top 20 best-selling titles. And in recent years, the film has been subject to critical re-evaluation, with more and more notable directors and critics considering it a serious satire worthy of praise.

 

Elizabeth Berkley plays Nomi, a "street-smart" drifter who ventures to Las Vegas. She is determined to make a name as a dancer while putting her unspoken past behind her. Her tough, streetwise veneer is not as infallible as she would like. In Vegas, she becomes more cautious in the way she approaches strangers who seem willing to help her purely out of the goodness of their hearts. Her talent and connections in combination are only able to get her a job at the Cheetah Club, a strip joint. Her first true friend in Vegas, Molly Abrams (Gina Ravera), works as the costumer for Goddess, the topless production at the Stardust. It is through Molly that Nomi catches the eye of Goddess' headliner, Cristal Connors (Gina Gershon). Nomi has a love/hate feeling toward Cristal: she doesn't much like her but wants to become her.

 

At IMDb, the film's got a 4.9 rating but most of the more recent reviews of Showgirls are remarkably positive about the film. "Read between the lines!", "A Misunderstood Classic", "A really fun movie...despite what the critics say!", "This wonderful film only gets better with each viewing" and "Greatest critique of American culture since CITIZEN KANE" are some of the headlines of the IMDb reviews. Critics such as Jonathan Rosenbaum and Jim Hoberman, as well as filmmakers Jim Jarmusch, Adam McKay, and Jacques Rivette, have also gone on the record defending Showgirls as a serious satire. In a 1998 interview, Rivette called it "one of the great American films of the last few years", though "very unpleasant: it's about surviving in a world populated by assholes, and that's Verhoeven's philosophy". Quentin Tarantino has stated that he enjoyed Showgirls, referring to it in 1996 as the "only ... other time in the last twenty years [that] a major studio made a full-on, gigantic, big-budget exploitation movie", comparing it to Mandingo. Showgirls has been compared to All About Eve (1950) as a remake, update, or rip-off of that film. For Jonathan Rosenbaum, "Showgirls has to be one of the most vitriolic allegories about Hollywood and selling out ever made". "Verhoeven may be the bravest and most assured satirist in Hollywood, insofar as he succeeds in making big genre movies no one knows whether to take seriously or not", Michael Atkinson has written.

 

In Slant Magazine's four-out-of-four-star review, Eric Henderson rejects the "so-bad-it's-good" interpretation and lauds the film as "one of the most honest satires of recent years", stating that the film targets Hollywood's "morally bankrupt star-is-born tales." Henderson draws from a round-table discussion in Film Quarterly in which others argue its merits. Noël Burch attests that the film "takes mass culture seriously, as a site of both fascination and struggle" and uses melodrama as "an excellent vehicle for social criticism." In the same round-table, Chon Noriega suggests that the film has been misinterpreted and the satire overlooked because "the film lacks the usual coordinates and signposts for a critique of human vice and folly provided by sarcasm, irony, and caustic wit." The Guardian commented in 2020: "With Showgirls, the target was the American dream itself – and the dishonest "star is born” narratives churned out to sustain it. If Showgirls has a message, it’s that the game is rigged for women like Nomi. She thinks she’s climbing the pole but really she’s just spinning round it. The real power lies with the men running the racket. Nobody wanted to hear that at the time; maybe they’re ready to now. In its own messy way, Showgirls is a #MeToo story with a male gaze.

Normally, secondary female sexual characteristics are groped, in the absence of such elevations, it sometimes does a lion's head.

Shot for the Active Assignment Weekly Group

Subject: The camera never lies - disproved.

Restrictions: Since I HAVE to add at least one restriction, I'd would like the shots to be beautiful, the sort of thing you’d like to hang on your wall.

 

Well, this one is violent on a more subtle ground. No idea if anyone prefers to hang this n the wall. Once again, I am not naked.

 

This one came out as a by-product of the first shot. I thought about new ideas to realize once I cleaned up the bathroom. And upon wiping the mirror clean this idea came to my mind and was realized on the fly. Decide for your self what you like better.

Thanks to Ariel for taking me to see this rare little log dogtrot house yesterday! It was probably built in the early 1800's and has a stone foundation and huge stone chimneys at each end. The breezeway at the front has been partially enclosed for a door but the back is still open. You can see the old stair/ladder through the doorway. I believe the section at the right may be slightly older than the rest of the cabin.

Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s works raise questions about art’s role in society and conventional relationships between art and audience. His temporary billboard installations, in which a single image is reproduced in multiple city-wide locations, bring art into venues not normally associated with its dissemination and consumption. By making art more accessible to a wider public, Gonzalez-Torres reaches out to viewers and compels the museum to extend its reach beyond the walls of the institution.

 

The Hirshhorn’s Untitled (For Jeff), named after a healthcare worker who nursed the artist’s dying partner, is a simple representation of an open hand and communicates solely through the power of the visual representation. The work may suggest a range of possible associations: the extended hand of a welcome, one which offers assistance, or another that seeks alms. The final interpretation will invariably shift, influenced by the location and environment in which each billboard is sited.

האמנות של מירית בן נון מתקיימת בתוך ומעבר למציאות.

היא מתרחקת מהמציאות באמצעות צבעוניות אגרסיבית צפופה שחושפת עדות פנימית אודות קיום מאויים של נשים.

הקווים, הנקודות והצורות לא משחזרים עובדות אלא מדגישים את המטען המיוחד של התמודדות רגשית.

מירית בן נון מפגינה רוח מרד ומנסה לגעת בדברים לא באמצעות שלמות אלא תוך חיפוש אחר ההבעה והביטוי שלהם.

היא חוקרת זהות אישית ומנסה להגדיר באמצעותה את האמנות הראויה לה ובעזרתה להמחיש את העולם ואת טבעה של התרבות האנושית.

היא מתמקדת בממד ההבעתי בגלל החשיפה שמקנה הרגע הבלתי נשלט שמשפיע כה רבות על החיים בעולם גלובלי מגוון המשתנה במהירות .

השיח בין העולם הפנימי למציאות המתהווה הוא היפר-אקטיבי ומחולל אצל בן נון רצף אינסופי של עבודות.

מעומק התחושות, החלומות, החרדות וההבעות עולות משמעויות קיום נוקשות ומסעירות שעיקרן מבטא אי-שקט וחוסר הסתגלות.

Harassment can include "sexual harassment" or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature

Sexual violence is usually caused by someone the woman/man knows, so people should be educated from a young age they have the right to say no to sexual contact from any person and to report predatory behavior.

"A Dark Spring"

Why did you choose that name for your gown?

I have baptized my dress as "A Dark Spring" because we are just in this beautiful season of the year, I did not conceive a more appropriate name. I love spring and I love its flowers. Which fill my version of this beautiful dress. And the dark thing is clear that it is in protest because I am one more #MeToo

 

What was your inspiration?

Thinking about the red carpet and that I must express my feelings in some way ... and with the resources of the MVD box, the first thing that made me open my eyes wide was the flowers.

So look for a long evening dress where the flowers were the protagonist.

And there was Angy's perfect dress, The Bound Gown Crow.

I have added a double skirt to which I have hand embroidered all the beautiful roses.

Roses in my hair.

Roses in my bracelets.

How not to call this dress "A Dark Spring"?

The damage that these crimes do to women , men and children is unfathomable. For those of us who are strong enough to go on with allowing the feelings of hopelessness to NOT take us to suicide...we are lucky... some days are better than others.. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other.....
