Perform Chinatown 2014 Part 2

            Love Connie was an amazing performance. He's a natural entertainer and really funny. One thing you do see from his performances are that he has a lot of substance and personality, and every guy wants a girl with personality. 

          I really enjoy drag queen cinema, one of my favorite movies is Girls Will Be Girls, 90% of the cast is drag queens. It would be great to see this genre become a trend because it has so much to offer and is usually hilarious. Girls Will Be Girls is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen!

       Below is a link to a really funny short film that Love Connie is in - Love Connie - Episode 5. The ending is hilarious.

      Love Connie reminds me of a pop super star in Bulgaria by the name of Azis. My roommate is Bulgarian and says he is their version of Madonna, pushing boundaries and being a little maverick in a post communist country, which apparently isn't hard since they were shielded from Elvis' 'twerking' and much of what some describe as the decay of western civilization. My roommate said  "That's what happens when you deny people culture for a long period of time, they think Azis is cool." Under 'Love Connie - Episode 5' is a good example of Azis' music and persona. 

     Either way, I really enjoyed Love Connie's performance and it's one that I will remember over the years.

Perform Chinatown 2014

           Perform Chinatown 2014 Chaos Reigns! took place on Chung King Road in Chinatown, Los Angeles on Saturday, July 26. It was curated by Doug Harvey, Lee Lynch, Paige Wery and the galleries of Chinatown. The event was amazing. It was scheduled to start at noon, but understandably the heat postponed some of the performances to around 2:30. 

          I had a lot of fun filming it. Chung King Road feels so much more like a community than Culver City's Arts District. It has so much character and charm, if you have the chance to come to a quarterly, I highly recommend it. You can go to artslant.com and if there are three or more openings on Chung King Road it would make an amazing night out! It's good to go when Coagula Curatorial has an opening because many times they will have some d.j. in the alley.

        I will be posting more videos in the weeks to come from the event cause I have a job keeping me busy these days. Shit.
