How true. (Hadn’t thought of that comparison but it’s spot-on).

Yeah, that’s pretty much how I’m feeling, too. Sure, it’s unusual in this day and age, but if it works for both of them, then who am I to judge?

All I can say is: let’s hope Ashley Olsen is a fan of George Condo’s “art”. Otherwise, she’ll surely come to dread birthdays and Christmases.

Now that you mention it, yeah, I think it does. That’s real food for thought, by the way.

Frighteningly so.

Yeah, that fuckin’ guy. ;=)

It definitely creeped me out the first time I laid eyes on it, so I get where you’re coming from feeling they look like demons, especially the one who resembles Kris Jenner.

Good grief, that’s hideous. The artist must be pretty well-known if he/she is being taught in Australian schools?

Something tells me George Condo earned plenty “name recognition” thanks to that Horrible Hermes Handbag, but not necessarily of the good kind.

I think that was a logical assumption on your part, quite frankly. ;=)

I don’t know but can you imagine having to go out in public toting that monstrosity?

5 Kanye album covers, apparently.

When I think George Condo, my first thought is that Hermes Birkin bag he “defaced” for Kanye to give as a gift to Kim. The stuff of nightmares, really.

A strong argument for the people who believe that white people shouldn’t say “woke”?

In a morning “gossip” round-up? Yes. It is absolutely disrespectful.

They did the same “Dirt Bag” thing with B.B. King’s passing.

Over the years, I’ve seen a number of high-profile deaths get relegated to Jezebel’s “Dirt Bag” column and, like many other commenters, have been left scratching my head while quietly cursing the insufficient respect shown.

My son did a student internship in Brazil for 3-4 months last summer/autumn and fell in love with the place and the people. True, he grew partial to the northern beaches — for reasons similar to those being expressed by others in this thread — but he came back with a shifted sense of personal priorities, which (he…

You are right, of course, so you have my apologies. I’m well aware that the bad rap Winnipeg gets has been mostly deserved but my friends and relatives who live there have been feeling more hopeful lately as their city makes a serious attempt to come to grips with its racist past and present. Again, though, I am sorry…

Not knowing if you’re Canadian, I’ll make it brief. It was the “do-nothing” part that rankled, not the “in the middle of nowhere” bit. Winnipeg deserves a lot of credit and much respect for attempting to address its racism problem head-on, so much so that it’s now considered to be at the forefront of Canadian cities…
