Susanne Sundfør – ‘The Silicone Veil’ (via erin)
I’m a larva wrapped in silk;
I am dying in burning flesh
Let me out, let me ache
Let me out, let me ache and itch
Get me out of this suit
I go to a funeral every day
I follow these people around
I follow these people like a rat’s tail
I carry their caskets, I sing them good night
They’re better off without me
Beauty is poisonous
Disruptive
Oh, heaven must be an iron rose
Unfolding…
Oh, let me in, let me out,
let me in, let me out!
This is a retirement
from plumbing the veins of rats and kings;
let the stars be my eyes then
unchain the knuckles and latches-
unbutton my wrists.
My skin so thin you can see black holes within;
my eyes so clear they light up the sky…
and sometimes I’ll bend into the silicone veil
and enter this world again as a ghost.
Beauty is poisonous
Disruptive
Oh, heaven must be an iron rose
Unfolding…
Oh, let me in, let me out,
let me in, let me out!
Let me out! x11
it’s CONNIE CHAN (the movie-fan princess) , Bitches!
Two films in 1965 would give a boost to Chan’s career: The Six-Fingered Lord of the Lute (in which she played the lead male role) and The Black Rose (in which director Chor Yuen had the foresight to change her image by putting her in a contemporary role as a modern-day Robin Hood).

“I never had a problem with any of it. I’ve known straight and gay people all my life. I can’t tell the difference. People are people where I came from.”
“Absolutely. I never thought of marriage as something only for men and women. But I’d never marry a guy I didn’t like.”
” We’ll look back and say it was crazy that we ever even argued about this.”

it’s art smith, bitches! (via vintage black glamour)
A model wears Art Smith’s “Modern Cuff” Bracelet, circa 1948. Art Smith (1917-1982) was a modernist jeweler born in Cuba to Jamaican parents who eventually emigrated to Brooklyn. He opened his first shop on Cornelia Street in Greenwich Village in 1946 – no small feat. According to the Brooklyn Museum (host of a 2008 exhibit of his work) he was one of the leading modernist jewelers of the mid-twentieth century. Along with being covered by magazines like Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, Smith, an avid jazz lover, once made cufflinks for Duke Ellington which included some notes from Mr. Ellington’s “Mood Indigo.” Mr. Smith was also a supporter of early Black modern dance groups and an active supporter of Black and gay rights. Art Smith was quoted in the 1969 catalog for his one man exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Craft as saying, “A piece of jewelry is in a sense an object that is not complete in itself. Jewelry is a ‘what is it?’ until you relate it to the body. The body is a component in design just as air and space are. Like line, form, and color, the body is a material to work with. It is one of the basic inspirations in creating form.”

sister rosetta tharpe is love (the godmother of rock & roll american masters doc too)
Sister Rosetta Tharpe (1915-1973) was a groundbreaking gospel singer and musician, who paved the way for the popularity of rock ‘n’ roll and influenced Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis, among many others.
Tharpe’s biographer, Gayle Wald, found some of the singer’s contemporaries who were willing to talk off the record about her bisexuality; one fellow musician claimed to have walked in on Tharpe and two other women in bed together during her “honeymoon tour” right after her third wedding in 1951.
“SISTER ROSETTA THARPE The Godmother of Rock & Roll” – Produced & Directed by Mick Csaky – International version – 52 mins/2013 from Directors Cut Films on Vimeo.
Wald writes, “The circulation of this and other lore indicated that the gospel world had its own legends of outlaw identities and behaviors: of sissy men and bulldagger women, of philandering evangelists and pilfering prophets, of hypocrites who boozed up backstage before singing in front of the curtain about the virtues of holy living. For homosexuals in her audiences, rumors about Rosetta’s sexuality might have been liberating, an invitation to look for tell-tale signs of affirmation of their own veiled existence.”

After the war Decca paired her with Marie Knight, a sanctified shouter with a strong contralto and a more subdued style than Tharpe. In their hit, “Up Above My Head”, Knight provided the response to Tharpe in traditional call and response format, then took the role that would have been assigned to a bass in a male quartet after Tharpe’s solo. It has been reported that it was an “open secret”, in show business circles that Knight and Tharpe were lovers.
