![]() ![]() Sargent is living with his father just for the summer, but it’s the first time they’ve tried living together since his parents divorced years ago. ![]() (Color plates of all the paintings described are happily included.) She’s sprightly and rebellious, so that when the son of the gallery director, twelve-year-old Sargent Singer, comes to the gallery for the first time, he catches her sticking her tongue out at some snotty visitors. Mona Dunn, the thirteen-year-old subject of the most famous painting the Beaverbrook Art Gallery is one of those paintings, and enjoys running around between the other paintings in the gallery, making friends with the other painting people and hanging out by the Italian lake in one of them. It’s built around an intriguing, Hogwarts-like concept – the people in paintings can come to life, at least if the works are valued enough. ![]() Here’s a book based around a real art museum, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in New Brunswick. ![]() ![]() Thankfully, Miss Nelson does come back and the kids are as good as gold from then on. She makes life miserable for Miss Nelson’s class, and the poor students just dream of Miss Nelson’s return. With her evil-looking makeup and sour mouth, she looks just like a witch. So it’s no surprise that finally, a substitute teacher shows up to take over for awhile…Viola Swamp, a mean, scary teacher. Poor sweet Miss Nelson, with her pretty face and blonde hair and sweet manner is just frazzled when the book begins. The kids in room 207 are the worst kids in the whole school. ![]() Most of our substitute teachers were of the treat/holiday variety but every now and then, we would have a Viola Swamp. If the former, we’d treat the day like a holiday and be uncontrollable if the latter, we’d sit in meek submission and do our assigned work. I don’t know about you, but when I was in grade school, substitute teachers were either easygoing, or terrifying. I really enjoyed this book when I was little. ![]() ![]() ![]() Created for The Black Diamond of The Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen, and with Cave as a co-curator and co-designer, the exhibition is an unorthodox fusion of biography, autobiography, and fiction, asking what shapes our lives and makes us who we are. With more than 300 objects collected or created by Nick Cave through six decades of his creative and private life brought together in large-scale installations, the exhibition is an artwork in itself. Stranger Than Kindness: The Nick Cave Exhibition is an unprecedented look into the creative world of musician, storyteller, and cultural icon Nick Cave. There are currently no plans for the exhibition to travel to the USA. This is the North American premiere of the exhibition, which was previously presented at The Black Diamond, Copenhagen, Denmark. Tickets will go on sale on Friday, March 4 at 10 a.m. Stranger Than Kindness: The Nick Cave Exhibition opens Friday, April 8 at the Galerie de la Maison du Festival in Montreal. ![]() ![]() ![]() JE: Great to hear! And North-American Lake Monsters is presently being adapted. ![]() He’s kind of an empty vessel, a shallow person, so he’s vulnerable to being filled by something, and what fills him is nothing good. And it leads him down a dark spiral in his life. It's about a bartender who finds a cell phone after a bar fight one evening, takes it home and starts receiving very encrypted messages. NB: probably the last fantastical story in the book. I think they’re old ideas because they’re powerful ones. when I was doing Lake Monsters I was constantly wanting to use some classics like vampires and werewolves because I don’t believe these ideas are ever spent, I just think they have to be used in different ways. They’re good tools and they’re fun tools. ![]() And they're more than this, but they're such perfect metaphors and they can be so versatile for the purposes of fiction. They’re fun, fun to write and read about, fun to watch on the screen. NB: They’re just a fundamental part of my imagination. JE: You often use monsters as part of the plot. ![]() ![]() ![]() Misery - The Antichrist - Salvation Kindle Edition by Robin de Ruiter (Author).

No condoms, so they were all sharing each other's lady liquids. Holly Madison says she was afraid to leave Playboy mansion due to mountain of revenge porn The model likens her relationship with the late Hugh Hefner to 'Stockholm syndrome' in the premiere. And the party started with the women making out together and then having to take turns riding Hefner's viagra inflated dick, while he lay there like a dead fish. They had to have mandatory shared baths before the weekly 'party' with Hefner. There was dog shit on the carpets and old, broken furniture in the women's rooms. Holly Madison’s memoir doesn’t spare its readers any juicy details from her seven-year stint at Hugh Hefner’s famed Playboy Mansion. Other stuff I recall is that the women had to queue up for weekly pocket money, and say 'thank you daddy'. Hefner was supposed to respect that, but i practice he'd get very fucked off if one of them kept the PJ bottoms on. ![]() Apparently if they kept their bottoms on, that indicated that they did not want penetrative sex. ![]() I read a book by another former inmate of the mansion, which did indeed claim that the mandatory 'party night' which I think was Friday night, involved the women arriving at Hefner's room, where industrial techno would be blaring from speakers, and gay porn was being streamed. ![]() |
