Questionable Spice

Okay, I was just thinking…where did the Spice Girls come from? I mean, back in like, 1997. Obviously they didn’t come from nowhere…but then all of a sudden they just exploded on the scene. And then they left for almost ten years…and have just now come back for even more. I think it’s great. It’s really rad that people still accept them, especially after their extreme tastes in looks, I think people are overly judgmental as far as all that goes. It’s all about looks. But that’s a whole nother thing…I just think the Spice Girls in general are such a crazy, surprising hit. And still.

I’m not saying I want fame, in fact I vehemently DON’T…I don’t even think I could handle it if I DID have it. So maybe that’s why I would never be like the Spice Girls. They probably worked really hard to get where they were. And still are.

I dunno…just a random thought I was having. I have those.


The other day someone recognized me as a performance artist. It was so rad. Not the being recognized—I could do without. Just knowing someone was so affected by my art that they remembered me, and even remembered how they remembered me. It almost made me cry, it was nice to be understood. Not that I’m misunderstood, it’s just that sometimes you do things and hope it makes a difference, and it’s just nice to know that you do.

Especially in this city, it’s not like people are overly nice. People don’t have to come up to you and tell you they recognize you and your art…so the fact that this guy did go out of his way to do that is just so rad…I really appreciated it. In case you’re reading. J
