CINCINNATI, OH—REBEL REVEL came to the Cincinnati Arts Association’s Alice F. and Harris K. Weston Art Gallery in the atrium of the Aronoff Center for the Arts on Saturday, June 8th, to celebrate the closing of Oh! You Pretty Things—a nearly twenty year survey exhibition of the incomparable documentary and experimental video work of Cincinnati native and Brooklyn-based multimedia artist Rachel Rampleman. Oh! You Pretty Things was a kaleidoscopic array of many of the artist’s single- and multi-channel videos from her extensive creative catalogue, along with brand new works from the Life is Drag series out of New York City.
Oh! You Pretty Things opened at the Weston Art Gallery April 19 and continued through June 16 throughout both levels of the Weston—creating an unforgettable immersive gallery experience.
REBEL REVEL was a one-night-only festival celebrating those who truly and boldly push the limits of gender expression by combining drag, burlesque, avant-garde fashions, and radical makeup with subversive and often political performances. Inspired by Rampleman’s vivid video explorations of identity and set amongst a dazzlingly tall Mylar curtain backdrop, suspended disco ball, and accent stage lighting, the performing artists and models activated the Weston’s voluminous street-level space with their visually stunning creativity, featuring:
• A drag extravaganza including performances by ODD Presents, the new Cincinnati-based alternative drag haus committed to presenting queer-centric entertainment in all its forms;
• Draglesque by nationally renowned and legendary local male illusionist Alexander Cameron;
• Burlesque by Ginger LeSnapps, head mistress of the award-winning Cin City Burlesque and RAW Artists Cincinnati Performing Artist of the Year; plus Cincinnati’s brand new Smoke & Queers—a queer coed amateur burlesque troupe that encourages all expressions of self, gender, identity, and sexuality;
• Runway shows with gender-bending looks from Northside's NVISION and NYC's LACTIC Incorporated;
• The premiere of the latest fantastical art-couture stylings by costume and wig designer Stacey Vest of Sweet Hayseed’s Wearable Wonders.
Last weekend as we were in the toy section in Meijer's Amy turned to me as I stared loving at the Legos and she said “I want to get you something for doing so well on your final” I briefly agonized over the money we would be spending, but in the end I willing gave in. Of course I couldn't pass up an opportunity to get some new Legos... and, the boys could play with them too... right?
Instead of buying the Lego set, "The Battle of Endor", right then and there, I told Amy that I had seen it cheaper at Target. Yes, I was already looking at it… I'm a dork. So off we went to look for it at a cheaper price, but first we would stop at Toys R' Us to see if they had the Lego set and try to take advantage of a coupon that Amy had. No luck, even though their website said they had it in stock. Then we headed to Target and again we struck out. By this point I was exhausted and defeated. Christ, it had already been three hours since we started on our journey to find this Lego set for a cheaper price. Stupid me, we should have just gotten it at Meijer’s when we were there earlier. As we headed home Amy turned to me again and said she was going to head to Meijer’s after the kids went to bed to pick it up. When she returned an hour later she had it. I was so excited! I rushed upstairs to show Marley and Brodie. Of course they were as excited as I was. I left it in their room so they could look at it as they fell asleep. I bet I know that they dreamed about that night.
The next morning the boys, especially Marley, were quite eager to put the set together. So for the next seven hours, yes seven hours, we put this set together and at the end we had the battle of Endor. I have to say that this was a great buy. I love and the boys love it and this is all thanks to my awesome wife Amy.

Toto makes a run for it.
We went to Baltimore this weekend and sat up on Federal Hill for awhile just watching people. And puppies. T'was loverly.
The woman put the leash back on her dog after I took this pic. I bet she thought I was an undercover fotografer who was going to rat her out to the canine cops. Pshh.
