FOFA #804 – Deluxe and Delovely

Gigi’s back boys! Our deluxe and delovely club-kid turned mother of two and visual artist is starting a new art group in Chicago, the Salon des Artistes Indépendants.

Gigi and other artists decided to come together to form the Salon to produce a gallery effect that wasn’t tethered to a certain theme or limited in scope. The Salon des Indépendants is basically a fancy French word for an outsider artist collective.

Gigi and her friends are sick of being told that their art is great but that it “really isn’t what we had in mind” by gallery owners so they mounted this first event.

It is by invitation only so the only way you are going to get an invite is if you email us and we plead your case to Gigi. She’s tough and she doesn’t want you drinking all her PBR, so be convincing of your love for art and we’ll see what we can do. I can’t make any promises though.

Are you looking at these wonderful pictures Fausto took of Gigi? She really is a supermom model. Gigi is so creative that she took one of our Digitally Delicious t-shirts and made a wonderfully tight-fitting black dress out of it. Hot!

Her daughter hates when she shaves her head but we think she is so lovely bald. Now, her daughter doesn’t really mind that her mom shaves her head, she just likes it when she wears a wig on it.

America, the U.S. Space Program needs your help! NASA is asking it’s visitors to the Houston Space Center to donate samples of their urine to help test out a new type of space toilet. This is kind of embarrassing. I’m sure in intergalactic space that aliens are laughing at us. Come on, Mars’ slogan after all is “Mars Needs Women” and ours is “Earth Needs Pee.” in reality though, nothing is like pee except pee. Pee has certain qualities that just can’t be reproduced so if they are going to get space toilets to work properly, they have to use the right stuff.

It seems fish are all over the news these days. Scientists have found that most animals (including our own species) ability to communicate using sound draws its origins to the grunts and chirps made by fish! The neural network that forms our speech center was created millions and millions of years ago. Even today some fish still use grunts to attract a mate.

Meanwhile in New York, one fish was taking this talking thing a bit to far. A talking carp predicted the end of the world. A fish that was destined for the knife proclaimed in Hebrew that the end was nigh and that now was the time to repent. Oy veh! The fish mongers didn’t take heed of the vociferous carp and it ended up becoming the Jewish delicacy gefilte fish. It could be worse.

Catfish walking down the street is not an everyday occurrence but it’s not unheard of in Florida. A woman saw a catfish trudging across her street and thought it was odd but then she looked further on and saw some thirty catfish emerging from the sewer, cross the street and kept on moving. The catfish used their dorsal fin to propel them much like we use our legs.

So there we have it, our speech, our fear of the almighty and the ability to walk all come from fish.

The voice inside your head that tells you to go for it- Feast of Fools.
