seriously

FROM January 26, 2006

If you have never been there, or if you do not live in Nueva York, you really must take a look at the Movida website, it is so amazing, I can't even believe it exists. I've only ever been there for Brazilian night, so in the context of the new jack, shit will be like a time machine, and Cosmo is making it happen. (dude, what's up with the schoolgirl dancers though.)

As someone who is fascinated by those fake ocean-scene lightboxes they sell in times square--you know the ones, they resemble a window open to the beach or the nyc skyline, and they play a "bubbling brook" sound and the light ripples across the ocean crests, and they're sometimes adorned with arbitrarily placed dolphins--as someone who is fascinated by those lightboxes, the culture around them and the reasons people purchase them, Movida appeals to me very much. It appeals to every one of my theatrical impulses. I am going to wear a fuckload of eyeliner.
