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.

I read it, so should you! - World Book Day

There is no friend as loyal as a book. - Ernest Hemingway


A shoutout to all the bookworms out there! Today it is World Book Day! And you all should be pucking up a book right now! because opicking up books is way better than picking up beere. But if you pick up books like Homer Simpsons picks up beers you may have a serieous reading problem! ;) So on behalf of the World Book Day i will show you some of my favourite books lately, and i will hereby start a new segment on my blog called: "I read it, so should you!" So get ready, put out your library cards and join me on the magical journey to booksville!

Right at the beginning I'm gonna start with a light but very good book by a woman, who all of you would niot haveguessed taht she could write a good book, which i love very much: Kathy Griffin. And let me tell you, I am not a paid spokesperson, but this book is hillarious and extremely honest. And it is absolutely not sentimental: It has substance and its really worth reading. Its called: Kathy Griffin: Official Book Club Selection - A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin.

Copyright by Randomhouse Publishing & Kathy Griffin
Basically the book is a memoir with autobiographical apsects. We get to know who Griffin was as a child and as a teenager. We get to learn from her family, her obsessions, her eating problems and her encounter with pop-culture. Very much teh book explains why she uis like she is today. We get a look in her family life and get to understand her parents. Then she makes the transgression to her life and how she got to where she is now, and very detailed deconstructs the entertainment industry along. Also she spares nothing from her marriage, her divorce and even her sex life, which believe me, is not that dead as you imagine it to be. Finally you get to see kathy like she is.. and she is no different than on Tv. She also opens up about her plastic surgery, her time on Suddelny Susan and her friendships. 

The book really is also written in great style an humorous, but also has very elaborate parts. Definitly a book to pick up! And next time on my reading list will be a bit more serious book. And by serious i mean fucking scary!

I Watch it, so should you! - Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List

Get out of my way, you A-List bores! My Prada shoes, are as good as yours! I work twice as hard to get half as far as you, cause there aint no ass to kiss, if you are living life on the D-List!

Hey Team Fancy! It is time for another episode of "I watch it, so should you!" So what I got for you this time is the amazing Emmy award winning reality series of Kathy Griffin: "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List"

The show has had 6 seasons on the network Bravo and every season of it has been nominated for an Emmy award. And by winning its first award it gave Kathy the possibility to stir up some shit during her acceptance speech. She said as followed:

"Now, a lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus. He didn't help me a bit. If it was up to him, Cesar Millan would be up here petting that damn dog! So all I can say is suck it, Jesus, this award is my god now!"

So you can think of the controversy she stirred up! Anyways yu have to watch this show. It is really funny and very real. Its not some scripted fake shit like the Kardashian series. So what I can say to you is that on this series we have had: endless gigs, endless shit gigs, activism for the LGBTIQA community, jokes, her caring for charity, her whoring for publicity, her marriage, her divorce, the death of her dad, her mom, writing her book, winning her Emmys, opening a library in Mexico, dating Steve Wozniak, being in papers, performing in Iraq, performing in a prison , performing in someones kitchen, being at Paula Deens, endless press campaigns, having a public papsmeare , putting together a show for her mum and endless other things. So if this does not do it for you, i cannot help you! Just watch it, goddammit!  ;) So to get you started i got part one, of episode one, of season one  here for you:
