Icons are everywhere!

An icon is someone who makes an effort. Art makes an effort. Therefore art is an icon. Marilyn Monroe was and is an icon and a work of art as well. Hence Marilyn Monroe and art have a nature in common. Icon - Art - Marilyn is iconic.

“Record Breaker”, Rule Breaker and self diagnosed Tourette Syndrome Sufferer - Kathy Griffin and a Record


There are plenty of reasons to like a fierce funny woman like Kathy Griffin.  The red headed funny diva has recently added one 45 minutes long one to the list as she snatched a title while doing it.



The title she snatched was that of being the Guinness World record certified person who has the most televised stand up comedy specials ever with 20 so far. Congratulations Kathy! And believe me: her latest TV special, simply called “Record breaker” (For obvious reasons!), did not disappoint. In 45 minutes we get a very distinct idea that being 53 does not mean setting it back and playing safe for Kathy. The special started off a bit slow as she gave us all the detailed info about her boyfriend who is about 18 years younger then her (Go girl!) and what she experienced during presenting at the prime time Emmy awards in 2013.  But she did not let us hang there as she quickly brought around an audience favorite, her 93-year-old alcoholic and frail mother Maggie Griffin. And Kathy of course (tricks) treats her mother to the MTV VMA’s and the #Twerpocalypse that was grinding Robin Thicke: Miley Cyrus. Imagine Maggie’s reaction to it! Priceless!

It gets better by the minute as Kathy then goes on and gives us all the dirty details about the “Walter White Gays”, scheduling sex, ice sculptures in penis forms and shit that goes down on a tender boat when she was on a gay cruise. Oh, and of course there is celebrities going down as she give us her thoughts on Leah Remini leaving scientology and working with (crazy nuthead) Kirstie Allie. Oh what a joy! But watch out Kathy! They might punch you in your no no parts! And finally the bitchfest culminates in yet another new fan letter Kathy gets from a devoted admirer from prison. Let me tell you: knowing that the man writing to her has worked on her house reconstruction and is now incarcerated does not hold Kathy from spilling all the crazy that is going on in this letter.


See, this is why Kathy has set up this record: she is fierce, funny and does not calm herself down. Perpetuating negativity it is. Don’t say you have been warned if you loose it while laughing yourself to tears!
