Lets face it, you can't truly be an American Icon unless you have been immortalized on Black Velvet. Hundreds of thousands of velvet worms give their lives toiling away to spin webs that are then harvested for the velvet, or do they get it from deer antlers? Okay, I don't have a clue how velvet is made, and it's really beside the point. The point is that Black Velvet paintings are the white trash answer to Van Gogh. There is of course Elvis. More square yards of velvet have been used for Elvis paintings than all of the jogging suits in Jersey. Fugget aboudit.
I had no idea that Black Velvet art extended beyond the realm of clowns, Elvis, the Duke, naked ladies and unicorns. Sleestacks anyone?
Perhaps you prefer to decorate your walls with Phil (shoot her in the face) Spector.
Another sleestack, ooops sorry Condi, my bad.
For those who Love Dick.
Classy, classy, classy.
Some say art, others say it's pure crap. More importantly, what does Joey P think?
My personal favorite. Looks like Monica ordered the tapioca.
Have a safe weekend, get you some velvet, save a silk worm.
Actually, a black velvet is made by combining Guinness and champagne. I've yet to drink enough of them to see Elvis, but I'm working on it.
ReplyDeletethis has nothing to do with the topic..but i love your blog and just thought i'd vent here.
ReplyDeletekansas city just sent me an earnings tax bill for a store that i used to own in benjamin plaza. i had to close that store in 2002 thanks to the decaying environment.
a few years ago they persisted in sending me property tax bills for an airplane that i owned and had kept at richards gebaur airport(part of kc). i had moved that plane to kansas several years prior to the notices but had to get an attorney to have my name removed from their tax rolls.
they're obviously looking to scrounge up money from any source that they can, and are happy to harrass and intimidate.
what a bunch of mindless robotic idiots they are. products of their own school system, i would guess.
what a fucked up city govt. kansas city has!
thank you for letting me rant!
you're the BEST mm!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain anon. i just got a bill for sales tax owed from BEFORE my store existed. Seems I didn't pay sales tax when I was thinking about opening a store. all of MO gov is screwed up - KC isn't alone.
ReplyDeleteThe city told me I owed earnings tax for 2003... I said "no I don't" and sent them the cancelled check. The next year they sent me a letter saying I hadn't paid my earnings tax for 2003.
