Hey, they’ve got a bevy of cool people and artists and claim there will be “Mystifying break dancing ninjas”. How can you not love that? 8/28/10 (Saturday) from 10 AM- 6 PM at Chuco’s Justice Center, 1137 E. Redondo Blvd, Inglewood, CA 90302. Come join the ninjas!
I’m also talking with the folks at Supperclub Los Angeles about live draping and specialty costumes- they’re in construction process, but plan to be opening up this month. Should be an interesting ride! Find the club at http://www.supperclub.com/

LAVA Visionary description…
Posted on June 26th, 2010 No commentsI am overwhelmed to the point of blushing. Thanks to Kim Cooper, who talks me up far better than I can!
I’ll be doing a live draping at the LAVA Sunday Salon at Clifton’s Cafeteria in downtown LA tomorrow at 12:30, so if you missed Presque Pret a Porter…
This week we shine our molten red glow the direction of Visionary A. Laura
Brody, who offers a special program at Sunday’s LAVA Salon when she
transforms recycled fabric scraps into a custom couture creation crafted on
the body of a daring Salon attendee. Laura is sculptor who specializes in
outrageous costuming for performers, a custom leather crafter who evades the karmic jolt of working with animal skins by reusing her materials, and a serial collaborator always seeking the next artistic cross-fertilization.
From fetish pieces to inflatable comic suits, from a live draping
performance during the Hollywood Fringe Festival to her ongoing collaboration on “Driven,” an all re-purposed and re-used Steampunk wheelchair created for her friend Peter Soby (the Driver, who’s paraplegic and needs a chair to get around), Laura’s work is challenging, unexpected and always weirdly beautiful.
Yea! and thank you!

Spam and Babel Fish poetry
Posted on September 14th, 2009 No commentsSpam, sadly, is just part of what you get what you put information up online. And Wordpress seems to get more than its share of directed spam.
I get an overwhelming amount of spam in Russian. Since I don’t read Cyrillic. most of the time I briefly shake my head and click delete. Yesterday I got a little curious instead, and cut-n-pasted one of them into Babel Fish.
The result is almost surrealist poetry.
Beauties … having slightly licked by adroit uvula flexible fingers, they penetrate the hot elastic pink bosoms, delighting in by the beauty of its tel. .. If lust was crime - this beauty would obtain the most severe sentence for her indefatigable desire, which constantly leads it to the frankest position without the clothing. Here and now she skips as cowboy on the boundless prairies on the excited member of its cavalier, the blood boils in the veins at the sight of this picture…
Adroit uvula flexible fingers?
Thank you for making webcam spam into art.
