There are Layers to the iniTiation










1.

There are Layers to the iniTiation, but the Boy is alReady a Man. Careful, or you’ll break it. I am Constantly looking for my Self. A Quartz reflecting. You have come here to repent. I mean that in the Holistic Sense. These Demons are Really People, and they are smiling. I am listening, trying to learn Some Thing. What? Riches? I can see my Self in these People. They are Skins I have shed and Skins I am growing into. I stare at those I want to stare back. It is as if I am living a Story that is being told over and over.







2.

What am I looking for? Some Kernel of Truth? This Idyllic Weeping. I keep thinking MURDER. I keep thinking I have to kill Some One. Or, not that I will kill a Girl, but the Universe is going to kill her in Order for me to live. It’s as True as it isn’t. I have watched Talents be destroyed by Money, or the Promise of it.







3.

What happens to bring your Lover here?
I don’t know. I must do Some Thing to impress him.
What could that be?
I don’t know. Will it be Some Thing I do, or will it be Some Thing he realizes on his Own? Have I done All I can?
You don’t believe that.
You’re Right. I don’t. 
There’s aLways Some Thing you can do.








4.

What can I say? We are lavishing Attention on Sociopaths. I’m Jealous, I know. My Jealousy is im’Patience. Out Side, the Sea crashes on the Shore. There are More Stones on the Shore than I can count. I am surrounded by Beauty and Hope. I spend my Days staring into a Computer Screen. Spirits come to me. Some of us have un Usual Minds. Tires burning in a Lot. Is that the Smell of Fear? Solace.








5.

My X-Boy Friend was in my Dream Last Night.
Which One?
Ha. We made out. The Walls were Wood.
What if this was a Video? What do you think?
That we’re surrounded by Brain Washing. 








6.

Maybe we need these Trailer Parks. Here, waltz with me. On the Other Side.

Andrea Coates vs. Vice Magazine - or, the Battle for a Better World








This Cover sums it up Perfectly. Vice Magazine is the Cis-Sxual Caucasian Male who believes his Perspective to be the Most God like. Perspectives besides his are reduced to Figures in his Dream and reflect his Ideals. The Fiery Eyes and Nervous Sweat show that despite his ( Self Perceived ) omni Potence, he is consumed with Guilty Lust. Note the Air Plane flying into his Head as into a World Trade Tower.










Yes, Ladies and GentleMen, this is War

The Apology Letter


Dear Readers : we at Vice Magazine apologize for the Ways in which our Editorial Process has been Bias in Favor of the Cis-Sxual Caucasian Male Perspective since it’s inCeption. We get the Ways in which this Perspective on the World, while Amusing, has harmed Others via the Subtle repression of their Natural Selves and Talents. We understand that we have treated these Selves and these Talents with Condescension and Objectification. We at Vice Magazine accept that People are Flawed, and that we are Flawed, but also that People can do Better, and so we will do Better, and we will start by allowing Diverse Sxual and Cultural Perspectives to to emerge from within our Publication. We believe this will be Good for All People. We will do this by, from now on, ceasing to sneer at Ideas that are not inclined towards Cis-Sxual Caucausian Maleness, ceasing the Gender Bias Physical and Sxual Objectification Present within our Publication in the Past, and by no Longer looking for so Cohesive a  "Cis-Sxaul Caucasian Male" Aesthetic from Contributors. Thank you.

Three Dreams










1.


I came to visit
a Concrete House
in the Desert
with no Windows

A Tall and Slim
and Wealthy Woman
in a Long Black Dress
greeted me at the Door
and gave me a Tour
of her Bunker

I had the Feeling there was a Child
in the House
Some Times
- a Daughter -
and a Husband
but I did not know where

Why were there no Windows?

Only the Grey Concrete

in the Endless Desert

outside of which sat Wasp-like Cars

Which Aspects of me are you
Mysterious Woman?

Why did you bring me here
to show me Corridors?


2.


This reminds me of
an Other Dream
I had
in which I drove a Dark Blue
BMW
out of the City
into the Country
across Rail Way Tracks
and into the Woods
by misTake

The Car crashed into a Tree
and busted the Fender
but I was not harmed
however

I got out of the Car
in a Daze
and wandered into the Forest

Deeper
in the Forest
under Brush
was the Pale and Bruised
Corpse
of a Young Lady
an inFamous Slut
and Party Girl
which had been dumped there
Limbs asKew

I was Horrified

I ran back to my Car
I got into my Car
I reversed out of the Woods and
onto the Road

It was Dusk and there was no One around

As I drove into the Twinkling City I thought
there is a Reason I found that Body
to Day
in the Woods

The Story Teller had me find the Body
because I know who killed that Girl
and I know how to avenge her


3.


Have you heard of that Show

A Lady Detective
solves the Murder of a Middle Class
TeenAged Girl
who worked
as a Prostitute
without her Parents knowing

I relate to the Driven Lady Detective

I relate to the Grey and the Rain of Seattle

I relate to the TeenAged Girl

One Night after I had watched the Show I had a Dream

In the Dream

I was in an Opulent Mall

More Opulent than a Cathedral

carved into the Side of Mountain

with Great Front Windows leading to a Point

Floors and Walls of Marble

and Mouldings of Gold

Ceilings dripping with Crystal

and an Escalator


The Mall was Empty

but for me


I wandered around the Mall

I walked into a Store

It was Cavernous

Xpensive Clothes hung
on Sparse Racks

The Walls were Plated Gold

There was no Body around but me
and a Single Sales Girl
with Long Dark Straight Hair
standing behind a Counter
dressed in the Clothes from the Store

I fingered Some of the Clothes

They were Silky

I have a Limited inTerest in Xpensive Clothes

They're just Clothes

“You can have Any Thing you want”
said the Sales Girl

I didn’t want Any of the Clothes

I didn’t want Any Thing in this Opulent Mall

What do I want?

I wonder


Then
I was living in a Cabin in the Woods
on the Coast of BC
in a Clearing that got Muddy in the Spring
with Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady
and All we did was sit around
and get Drunk
and smoke Weed
and talk about Literature
and the Divine
and have Sx with Each Other

In this World
I was a Real Charmer
just like I am in Daily Life

One Day a Black Car drove up to the Cabin
and out stepped my Husband
in a Neat Black Suit

He looked at his Elegant Black Shoes
as they sunk into the Mud

“I want you to come Home”
said my Husband

“Oh but I’m having ever so Much Fun here”
I said

“You Duty lies with me”
said my Husband
 “This Life Style isn’t beComing”

“I don’t want to”
I said
“I want to stay here
and be an Artist
with my Artist Friends
I love them so Very Much”

“We have a Beautiful Home”
said my Husband
“You’ve had your Fun
now let's go
This is Squalor”

“Oh, Please, Dear
Can’t I keep them?

I love them so Very Much”

I don’t know how my Husband replied
but seeing as I know me

I'll bet you I got All Three

Bye bye, Capitalism. We’re going to do our Own Thing.



Work by Crimethinc






Ever work a Job you didn’t like? We All have. Every wonder why we have to have Jobs? Work covers Each Layer of the Pyramid of Capitalist Society from the Old Money at the Top to the Prisoners at the Bottom and xplains how the Role Each of us plays in the System ( as Welfare Bums, as Service Workers, as Students, as Bureaucrats, as Lawyers, as Politicians, as CEOs ) is Xploitative. A Cry for Freedom from the Constraints of Work, Work provides Every Argument needed to convince you, your Friends and your Boss it’s the Right Thing to do to quit your Job and Never go back. Plus, its Full of Pretty Pictures and Personal Accounts from those within the System attempting to sabotage the Capitalist World of Compulsory Labor.

Bolo’Bolo by P.M. - Autonomedia






Ever wondered - if I could live in a Dream World, what would it look like? Well P.M. has, and it Totally rocks and it’s Totally Achievable. It’s called bolo’bolo, a World made up of Autonomous Collectives of ibus ( Human Spirits ) called bolos. A bolo can be organized in Any Way the Resident ibus want it to. Therein Compatible to Every Life Style and Cultural Identity ( nima ), the bolo System of Human Affairs is Pure Anarky and Pure Fun. HRTNRKFRM is Totally a bolo, or maybe a kana - a Kinship Group of 15 to 30 People within a Larger bolo. Either Way, it is an Xample for those wishing to begin the bolo'bolo Life Style.

 Some of the Best Parts in this Book are P.M.’s Descriptions of what I call “ Capitalism ” and he calls “ the Planetary Work Machine. ” I’m Probably going to start using that Term, its so Apt. The Planetary Work Machine is that Falsified System of Beliefs that keeps us enslaved by having to work for Money to survive, as dissected in Work.

Written in German in 1983, bolo’bolo the Kind of Book you read and think, Every One in the World should read this. If they did, we could live in this Paradise. Not because we're forcing People to conform, but because we've given up on Coercive Ideologies. That the World hasn't read bolo’bolo is Proof not of its i’Relevance, but of its Power. There are People out there don’t want you to know about this Kind of Stuff, for bolo’bolo is the Stuff of rEvolution. Not the Violent Kind - the Kind that comes from within. The Time for bolo'bolo is now.

I do want to be kNown. I do want to be reCognized. Why? ( and this accounts for what you call my ' Preachiness ' as Well as my Attacks on Hypocrites ) - I am One of the Few Alt Litsters not Only to have created a Unique Prose Style, but to put forward a Socio Political Message of Change. “ Poete Maudite and Glass House ” is my coming to Terms with the Petty Bourgeois Materialist asPects of my Self. The Aggressive Denunciation in “ Hip Gathering ” is meant to address my Self, as Well as Others - I sit at my Computer; I sell Health, Rights and Conscientious Consumption : Any One living a ' Modern ' Life Style is Complicit in the Rape of the Wilderness. It is Only in becoming a’Ware of this that we as a Society can take the Steps Necessary to right it. Did you read “ Poete Maudite and Prime Minister ”? Does Any One in Alt Lit have the Balls to write Some Thing like that about Obama?

>\|\|\|\\ Cat Marnell : the Amphetamine Socialite //|/|/|/< or why VICE Magazine ought to apologize for its Attitude













Have you heard of the Phenomenon that is Cat Marnell? She used to work for xoJane as Beauty Editor. She talks Openly about her Use of Prescription Amphetamines and PCP. She writes for VICE now. People say she's a Talented Writer.

She is a Talented Writer, Yeah, but the Rest of it makes me unComfortable.

I read as Much as I could find of Cat Marnell's xoJane Stuff. Can the Girl's Life Style be sustained? I wonder. She is unaShamed, but what about those of us watching what looks like proLonged Suicide? Though I admire Cat's Pluck, as a Reader of her Work, I feel if I don't try to help, I am Complicit.

I'm not going to use this Article to tell Cat to get Clean(er), though I think that would be a Good Idea. I'm going to try and get at the Roots of the Problem. That's what I do. Once I get to the Roots, I can pull out the Poison Plant.

I enjoy watching Cat Marnell act out of Line with Meek and Empathic Feminine Roles ( she is Brash, she Parties, she looks Hot ). I am saddened by her Work because her Addiction Situation seems a Little ... Hopeless. Cat Marnell does not want to change but staying on the Course she's on now will lead her to a Similar Fate as Edie Sedgwick, One of Cat's Worldly inSpirations, and mine too.








More so than me, however, Cat Marnell is Edie Sedgwick, 2012. That's at Least 40 Years post Feminism, so lets see how Things stack up. Like Edie Sedgwick, Cat Marnell is an “ Amphetamine Socialite. ” A Young Lady hanging in Hip Club / Art Circles of NYC, doing Speed, wearing Fashionable Clothes, caring about her Looks and being doted on by Men for her Manic Pixie Qualities. What Cat Marnell has over Edie Sedgwick, however, and we can thank Feminism for, is that while Edie had no Career beyond Warhol's inFatuation with her, Cat Marnell writes Articles about her Life from her Perspective. Nonetheless, Both Amphetamine Socialites remain the Victims of Xploitative Patriarchy as we shall see at Length.

 These Two Things are connected, a Lady's being on Speed and her being a Socialite. Cat Marnell has said her Addiction to Speed began because her Father, a Shrink, sent her Adderall in the Mail when she was a TeenAger. Wow. Okay. So. Lazy Sell out Dad attempts to drug his Blooming TeenAge Daughter into what he imagines will be Submission ( that sounds Familiar, where have I heard that before? ), instead he gets Addiction. Oops. Sorry, Kiddo. When she was at Boarding School, Cat Marnell's Father sent her Drugs in stead of Love, False Control in stead of True Acceptance. No Wonder Cat has a Hard Time letting go of the Drugs.

Oh, of Course. Cat Marnell's Descent into Addiction mirrors Edie Sedgwick's. Edie Sedgwick's Dependence on Drugs was created because her Wealthy, Overly Flirtatious Father drugged her with Prescription Pills and locked her in her Room for Days on end when her Rebellious and Sxe TeenAge Years came on.

I believe there is Blame to be laid in the Case of the Self-Destructive Amphetamine Socialite, and it ought to be placed on Patriarchy, the Idea that a Man owns or has Dominion over a Lady ( his Daughter, for Xample ) and that a Lady is noThing but the Sum of her Physical Parts in so Far as those are Useful or Desirable to Men ( the Beauty inDustry is Predicated on this Ideology ). This is the Idea that a Lady's Natural, Sxualized Self can be or should be repressed or controlled or xploited by a Man, Often, "for her Own Good,"  by whatever Means are Available, like Drugs.

Now let's talk about Consumer Capitalism's Role in the Persona of the Amphetamine Socialite. Consumer Capitalism is a Patriarchal Pyramidal Ideology that thrives on the Notion that Beauty and Happiness are to be bought with Money, a Notion that is eSpeically Appealing to People who have Never been given Love Free for their Authentic Selves. Girls betrayed by their Fathers, made to feel Dirty in their Authentic ( Feminine ) Selves, like Edie Sedgwick and Cat Marnell, are prone to become Fashionistas, Girls who Base a Large Part of their Social Identities in their Superficially Sxual Appearance ( who remembers Just like a Woman? ). Money can buy Beauty via Cat's Coveted Perfumes, or Edie's Trademark Dresses, it can also buy a False Kind of Happiness, with those Amphetamines, but these Commodities cannot help what Truly torments these Girls - the Lack of Supportive Love they received in their Youths. So, the Desire for Constant Attention from the Media and for a Party Environment by the Amphetamine Socialite is an Attempt to replace Love denied in Formative Years. The Turning away from Society that the Amphetamine Socialite Ritually goes through can be seen as the reOccuring Conscious or subConscious Realization that this Kind of Love, given for a Falsified Version of the Girl ( the Girl as Body on Drugs ), is also False.

The Amphetamine Socialite is a Patriarchally Thwarted ( Low Self-Esteem caused by Abuse in Childhood causes Addiction and an inFatuation with Beauty Products intended to hide Emotional Wounding ) Creative Lady ( hence the Amphetamine Socialite's Perpetual, Easy Charm and Talent in the Arts ). Here is how this happens : imagining that the Male is Superior to the Lady, that she is but a Body that belongs under his Control, an Ideology acted out on by Cat  Marnell's and Edie Sedgwick's Fathers, creates disCord in the Growing Creative Girl. The Creative Girl wants her Father to love her, yet she feels she has no Control over her Life, and no Freedom of Xpression, because he has taken these from her, or is preventing her from xpressing her Self Authentically ( by drugging her, threatening her, or treating her with disRespect ). Because of the Lack of Positive Affection she has received from a Masculine Role Model for her Authentic Self, the Growing Creative Girl feels that her Only Value lies in her Feminine Looks and Emotional Submissiveness, the Abusive Patriarchal Male's Favorite Cocktail. So the Creative Girl  begins channeling her Energy into meeting these Standards, even if they are not her Own.

Creative by Nature, however, the repressed Amphetamine Socialite craves inDependence and Freedom. Hence - Eating disOrders, Common to the Amphetamine Socialite ( you can kill Four Birds with One Stone with an Eating disOrder : look More Attractive to Men by making your Self Slender; drain yourSelf of Energy, making you Submissive; regain a Sense of Control over your Life via the Denial of Food to yourSelf by yourSelf; and prevent the Man from emPregnating you by denying your Self Nutrients, thereby, thwarting his Plans to use you as a Breeding Machine ).  Drug Addiction is anOther Means of lets call it "Negative Freedom" ( neutralizes the Sx Drive and makes you feel like you have SomeThing in your Life besides of Men, but, as Drug Addiction becomes entangled with One's Sense of Self, it becomes that Much for Difficult to love the Self sans Drugs, as this has been given so Little Freedom to develop ), as are Borderline-Style Behavior Tantrums, aka "Hysteria." An Eating disOrder, like a Drug Addiction, like Hysteria, creates the imPression that the Amphetamine Socailite is out of our Control. She is Compensating for the Truth, which is that the Amphetamine Socialite suffers because SomeOne else has taken Control of herSelf away from her.

Further Proof Marnell's Addiction & Self Esteem Problems stem from Patriarchal oppression in Childhood and Adolescence  here


Which brings me to VICE Magazine, who, after xoJane asked that she get Help for her Addictions and Cat Marnell refused and lost her Job, picked the unRepentant Drug Addict up for a Collumn called Amphetamine Logic.

Some herStory : as a Young Writer, say 19 through the First Half of 23, I idolized VICE Magazine. I wanted to write for them, just like Cat Marnell is doing now. But SomeThing nagged at me, throughout those Years, about my Favorite Magazine, though it took me that Long to figure out what it was. VICE Magazine is Bigoted. It is preJudiced in Favor of the cisSxual, if biCurious, Caucasian Male, and this creates Problems for Every Reader who isn't a cisSxual, biCurious Caucasian Male ( homoSxual Males are treated as Other by VICE Magazine, though they are afforded the Most Respect of those who are not cisSxual Caucasian Males, Likely because of the Latter's biCuriosity ). Considering that I am a biCurious ( I swing either Way, but prefer Males ) Caucasian Lady, and that the Phenomenon of the Amphetamine Socialites occurs Predominantly amongst biCuri Caucasian Ladies ( this is why I'm writing about it ), and finds its Root in an oppressive Patriarchy of the Xact Kind VICE Magazine is trading in ( the Rule of the cisSxual Caucasian Male over EveryBody else on the Planet ), this seems like a Good Place to discuss, within the Lens of my Xperiences, the Issues I have with VICE Magazine.

As a Young Lady, I believe that VICE Magazine is taking Advantage of Cat Marnell. That they are cheering her on in her Self Destruction because it brings Readers to their Magazine. That VICE Magazine is letting Cat Marnell destroy her Self for their's and Others' Entertainments. That they are using her like Patriarchy has Men use Ladies : as Objects for their Pleasure. The Wound in Cat Marnell that needs Love and Healing is not what VICE Magazine is inTerested in. It's the Controversy surrounding her they want, like Flies.

Throughout VICE Magazine, I see Evidence that Ladies are treated as Accessories, the Sxe Attachements of the Men,  indicating the Status of the Males, not in an Obvious Way All the Time, in a Subtle Way Most of the Time, but Pervasively.




from the 'Party Naked' Photoshoot



For the Most Part, like PlayBoy Magazine, VICE Magazine is a Men's Pleasure Magazine. The Moral, Aesthetic and Politikal Ideologies of the Magazine are therefore Moral, Aesthetic and Politikal Ideas that favor the cis Male's Pleasure. UnLike PlayBoy Magazine, however, VICE Magazine does not admit to being a Men's Pleasure Magazine. Rather, it heads itsSelf under the Banner "The Definitive Guide to Enlightening Information" and employs a Number of Lady Writers. A Recent inFatuation with the Phenomenon of "Girls" ( reflective of the Rise of "GirlKore," the Artistic Genre chronicling Feminist Liberation ) by the Magazine, does not change the Fact that the Magazine is Sxist. For Xample : "Girl News"  is the Name of One of these Recent "Girl" Columns. As if All Other News ... weren't "Girl," Somehow ...










The Three Biggest "Girl" Names  at VICE, Cat Marnell, Megan Boyle, and Marie Calloway, are 1 ) the Patriarichally Victimized Amphetamine Socialite, 2 ) the Lady who's Marriage to a More Famous Male Writer catapulted her Literary Career and 3) the Girl who whose Short Story about having Sx with a More Famous Male Writer catapulted her Literary Career. InTeresting, isn't it?


Female Fighters of Kudistan, a Self-Congratulating Bit of Open Mindedness, is reported on by a Male, as if to say, these Ladies, from Other Cultures, can be viewed as Parallel to us Males through their Use of Guns ( also, their Country's oppressive Regime is Worth Fighting against, but not ours -




From Riot Girls, Literally [ Really? Literally? ]




 ), Things are Different, here in the Western World.  In North America we treat Girls like this :







100th Issue, 100 Girls - 


We tag and catalog them!





Archival Girls -


We place them in a sub Serviant Position and Sxually objectify them!





Medicated 

We medicate them ( into submission )!



Why are there so Few Sxualized Photos, like these, of cis Males in VICE Magazine?

Why is it Most EveryTime a Man shows up Naked and Eroticized in VICE Magazine, its because he's Gay? 




The VICE Guide to being Gay 





Bears vs. Vikings




Please note how the Gays are given an "Object of Affection" for their Pictures whereas with the Girls, the Camera is the Object of Affection.








It's our Ommissions that say the Most. VICE Magazine reflects the View Point, looks through the Eyes of, so to Speak, a cisSxual, if biCurious, Caucasian Male. 





This Cover sums it up. VICE Magazine is the cisSxual, if biCuri, Caucasian Male who believes his Perspective to be the Most God-like. Perspectives besides his are reduced to Figures in his Dreams and reflect his Ideals. The Fiery Eyes and Nervous Sweat show that despite the White cis Male's ( Self Perceived ) omniPotence, he is consumed with a Guilty Lust. Note the AirPlane flying into his Head as into a World Trade Tower. 


Which is to say, All Sxual Personae but the cisSxual  biCurious Cacausian Male are set up, in Photographs and in Articles in VICE Magazine, in the General Aesthetic Sensibility of VICE Magazine, as "Other," and therefore, as Gawkable, Judgeable, or Lesser to the cis Male's.










VICE Magazine's Articles on / by Girls are but Nods to their Feminine Audience, who have no where else to Turn for a Certain irReverence of Spirit / Drug Talk ( as seen by Cat Marnell's being fired from xoJane ) These Articles, however, are Treated as Catchy Add ons to the Dominating cisSxual biCuri Male Aesthetic  ( That's why our "News" is in with the "Stuff " ). The Articles on "Girls" in VICE Magazine bolster StereoTypes / help Guys get laid / set a Precedent of subServiant Alternative Girl-Tude Other Girls can emulate.


Girls are not being treated, by VICE Magazine, like Equals.


Nor is Any One, Really, but the cisSxual, biCurious, Caucasian Male!
















Girls are being treated, by VICE Magazine, like Xpendable Fuck Toys. Well-Dressed Xpendable Fuck Toys that say Witty Things and come in More Diverse Body Shapes than in your Average Men's Pleasure Magazine, but Xpendable Fuck Toys Nonetheless, their Value reduced to the Sum Total of their Fuckableness and their Willingness to conform to the Moral, Aesthetic and Political Standards set by the Men directing the Content of the Magazine. There are no Ladies challenging Men or Male Domination in VICE Magazine. There are Ladies who live up to Standards set by Men so they can hang around them.

So, Cat Marnell talks about her Amphetamine Addiction as if it were her Feminist Liberation. As if her Right to be a Fashionable Drug Addict is Freedom of Xpression. The Problem here is not Cat Marnell's Defense of Freedom of Speech, which is Fine and Dandy, but her Drug Addiction, which, in its Essence, suggests she is relying on Forces outside of her Self to direct the Course of her Life. Not so Much Feminist Liberation, that.

And VICE Magazine swoops in and promotes Marnell after xoJane fires her as if she were the Greatest Thing to hit Lit for Chicks, 2012 As if her Drug Addiction were Part of this. Because it's what makes her so Cool and Different and Dangerous and Raw and Honest, Right? I have to ask mySelf, for Culture's Sake, is Drug Addiction how we want Young Girls to go about being taken Seriously by Men? Is an Obvious Drug Addict Really VICE Magazine's Idea of a Hot Young Lady Writer? What does that say when creating a Dependence on Drugs is a Primary Tactic used by Pimps to make Young Ladies Dependent them so they can xploit the Girls for Money? Cat Marnell is Honest about her Addiction, yeah, but she is an Addict living an unHealthy and ( having read All her Columns ) unHappy Life. She can do what she wants, but what does she want? Is being an Addict and a Bulimic and a Self-Loathing Narcissist Any Fun beyond the Controversy it generates? Is Cat Marnell's Persona put on for her Good, or for the Good of the Patriarchal Media Establishment in the Same Way Ladies have been, throughout ourStory, reduced to their Value for Others? Either Way, in so Far as, in her Drug Addiction, Bulimia, Beauty Product inFatuation and Self-Loathing Narcissism, Cat Marnell does not act for herSelf but for Others, Cat Marnell is not a Good Role Model for Young Girls. You may disAgree, but I think Ladies in High-Profile Media Positions should be Good Role Models, as Fallible as Any Mortal, but Rich in Spiritual, Intellectual and Humanitarian Qualities. InStead, what we Young Ladies toDay get to emulate are Drug-Addicted Fashionistas who are obsessed with Superficial ( and Often Racist ) Beauty Standards and are fetishized for their Clear, if Sxually Nubile, Self-Destruction.



That is Really Fucking Creepy.







Why are Girls toDay being bombarded with Imagery that tells them to Purchase Lots of Xpensive Things to make themSelves look Super Fuckable before they Self-destruct?


















I'm asking you, VICE







Where Girls need a Creative Lady to inspire us, the Men of our Era, the Ones behind the Medias we so Desperately want to be in ( HollyWood, Andy Warhol's Factory, VICE Magazine ), give us, instead, the Drug-Addicted Fashionista. A Patriarchally-Victimized Young Lady who cares More about her Pills and her Mascara than u rooting the Ways in which her Patriarchal Culture has Systematically abused and disempowered her. You know why? Because she's too Weak to fight.

But I am Strong enough. And so I will fight.

VICE Magazine calls itsSelf  “the Definitive Guide to Enlightening Information” but there is noThing Enlightening in the Greater, Spiritual, Universal Sense, about VICE Magazine, there is no Advice,







there are Only Ads and Vice : there is Only Hedonism, Mockery, Fashion, and a Projection that the rEvolution, the Fight for Freedom, is Somewhere else, in Kurdistan, in Libya, but not here in North America. Here in North America we take Drugs and buy Cool Clothes and that Supposedly make up for the Lack of Intimacy we get. These Ideas / Behaviors are Vestiges of Youth and Ignorance, and they errode EveryOne's Self Worth.

I say this, and I'm Twenty Three Years Old.

But, before you tell me I'm a Little Girl and I don't know Any Thing, or you accuse me of being Square, understand, I am the Philosopher of Sx, Drugs and Anarky,









so when I say that VICE Magazine is going about these Matters ( Sx, Drugs & Anarky ) the Wrong Way, that means SomeThing. The rEvolution is Feminarky, my Friends. So, while I appreciate VICE's adding More Girl-Friendly Content to their Magazine, their Continued Use of the cisSxual Caucasian Male's Perspective as their Standard, and the resulting repression of Authentic Self-Xpression that results, means that unLess they acknowledge this Bias Openly in their Magazine and apologize for the Ways in which their Attitude has lent to the suppression of Others - Ladies, for Xample, their Eating disOrders and Drug Addictions an Attempt to cope with a World in which their Girly Ideas aren't taken Seriously, but their Girly Bodies are - VICE Magazine's Perspective will Soon appear as Laughably out Dated as that of the XenoPhobics it is so Fond of acting like it's not One of. 


It's Perverse to me that the More Material Power a Girl seems to have in this Crass Commercial World, the Less she has over herSelf. The Amphetamine Addictions / Anorexias of Cat Marnell and Edie Sedgwick remind me of the Bound Feet of Chinese Princesses / the Corsets of Victorian Aristocrats.









 Anorexia  / Amphetamine Addiction







Foot Binding






The Corset


The Word inCapacitation comes to Mind


Personally, I cannot let this State of Affairs go on. I cannot let Ladies, or Any One for that Matter, be objectified and condescended to, made to starve or mutilate their Selves so they don't have the Capacity to challenge the Authority of People of Privilege. I must get VICE Magazine to change its Tone and Content. My Words will not see the Pages of the Magazine until it does. This is a Threat, for not Only am I a Great Writer, I represent the Release of the Authentic FeminEnergy after Centuries of Patriarchal oppression and I am Powerful and Angry. I am One of the Greatest Artists the World has ever seen and I am going to use this Power to make a Better Place to live for EveryBody.

Where the Amphetamine Socialite is held in a Dependent Position by Drug Addiction, has Sx with Men without enjoying it or addressing her Wants, and relies on Consumer Products with Fancy Names to Beautify her Self, I useDrugs for Spiritual and intelLectual inSight while being in Control of my Use, promote a Fem-Powered and Open Sxuality throughout my Blog, and though Very Beautiful,






Look Ma, Paint




I credit None but All for this Gift.


So, there can be no bribing me into subServience. Not with Beauty Products. Not with Columns. Not with Money. Not with Drugs. There is no xploiting me for my Skills. There is Only dancing with me.



Here's a Draft of an Apology, which I Really Really Really Really Really want to see on the Cover of VICE' Magazine in Big Bold Font so that Every One can read it :








I can forgive AnyOne Any Thing as Long as the Repentance is True and Honest. Let's see how you do, VICE

On Principal, if you can’t be Honest with Some One, they’re not your Friend. Any One you feel you have to lie to, question their Role in your Life.

Some Years ago, I was a Teen’Ager. I did Things like lie to my Parents about sneaking out, lie to my Boy Friends about cheating on them, lie to my Friends about sleeping with their Boy Friends, and lie to my Self that Every Thing was Okay in my Life. All this de Ception - All this repression of Truth in Favor of Lie - caused a Stress, which, in Turn, caused a Nervous Break down. Repression of Truth is a Great Evil. It is the Source of Many disEases. That Nervous Break down taught me a Lot. In'Cluding : if Some Thing is Worth doing, it’s Worth telling the Truth about doing it.

So, be Relentlessly Honest, with your Self at the Absolute Least. I say, if you want to make Friends ( not the Short, Easy Way that will get you Friends Fast, but the Long Way that makes Friends that last ), be Totally and Completely Honest with People. Tell them about your PCP Habit. The Fact you were raped as a Child. The Fact you stalk Men on the InterNet. That you live with Three Lizards. That you Never clean your House. That you cut your Self when you get up Set. That Super Markets give you Panic Attacks. That you have a Crush on your Friend’s Boy Friend. That you think Certain Writers need to try Harder. If People can’t handle your Dark Side, they can’t handle you ( that doesn't mean they have to indulge your Dark Side, it just means they have to know it xists it, forgive you for it, and want to help you through it ). If you don’t tell Any One about your Problems, how can you xpect Help?




2. Call People out on their Shit



I’ve noticed the More Honest I am with my Self, the Easier it is for me spot where Other People are dis Honest with their Selves / Others. Calling Hypocrites out on their Hypocrisy it is a Favorite Hobby of mine. I’ve was kicked out of my Own House for telling my ( now X ) Boy Friend’s Best Friend I suspect he’s bi-Sxual ( at the Time of Writing this, I am am Homeless as Well as Pregnant!, but do I mind? No - the Truth is on my Side! ). I have sent Xplicit eMails to a Twink Hipster Author I believe is a repressed bi-Sxual Sub with a Fetish for Humiliation. I made a Video and wrote an Essay in which I called Tao Lin a Capitalist Shill and torched his Novel to show how I feel about it. I made an Other Video addressing People on the InterNet and in the Victoria Anarkist Community who think they are the Vanguard but are a'Fraid to talk to me because I call All Hypocrisy I see. VICE Magazine thinks it’s the Hottest Magazine but its Condescending White Male Perspective promotes a Lazy, Self inVolved Bigotry; Blake Butler thinks he is sooooo on Top of on Lit but hasn’t acknowledged my Talent because it wouldn’t be Politically Correct / he's Jealous; Marie Calloway pays Lip Service to Feminism but is a'Fraid of me because I am the Feminist she, despite her pre-Occupation with the Subject, has failed to be in More than Words; Comrade Black and Allan Antliff, who help run the Victoria Anarkist Book Store and Info Shop, Camas, have Effectively banned me because I called Comrade out on being a Faux Radikal Pretend Feminist who fetishizes Cunts and preys on Young Ladies and jody xposed Allan as a Prejudiced Arm Chair Anarkist with Despotic Tendencies [ read about a Similar, but More Public, Banning by the Same People, here ]

That’s the Thing about calling People out on their Shit, Man - First, if you have the im’Pression Some One is a Hypocrite and you call them on it and they get All Defensive, either via Violence or Aggressive Denial ( doing your Absolute Best to ignore Any Thing a Person says to you, even when this Person comes at you with Compassion - Tao Lin, Blake Bulter, Marie Calloway, Comrade Black, Allan Antliff, VICE Magazine - is Aggressive Denial ), you have there Some Pretty Good Proof there they are in Deed Hypocrites. One who is being Honest with their Selves / Others a ) will not give off the im’Pression of being a Liar and b) will be Sympathetic to your Concerns. Those who are Right with their Selves desire that Wrongs be righted, and this inCludes Revenge if the Mistakes of Others have caused their Selves or Others Harm, but this Revenge - the Revenge of the Good Person - is of the Illuminating Sort : it xposes the Hypocrites for what they are and that is Justice.

In the Long Run, Hypocrites who refute your Attempts to call them on their Hypocrisy are doing their Selves a dis Service - repression of Truth is the Source of Many disEases, and a Liar, More Often than not, will run a’Foul of their Lies - the More the Lies, the More a’Foul : their House of Cards will topple whether it is you to pull out the Weak Link or an Other. I am Very Much a Believer in Karma, or, Natural Law : as you sew, you shall reap. Those who are Truly Confident in their Selves and in their Purpose ( as I am, for I am at All Times in quest of my Truth ) acknowledge their Attackers in their Attacks. If Any One has the Balls to come up to me and tell me where they think I’ve made Mistakes in my Work / Ideas, I will reply to that Criticism because I am inTerested in Personal Growth, not in maintaining an Illusion - a Sense of Self based in Lie or iGnorance.




3. Fuck your Enemies



Once you’ve made Enemies by calling People out on their Hypocrisies ( People who are repressing the Truth for Personal Gain will make an Enemy of Any One who informs them of their Situation, even if it is done out of Compassion - a Tough Love Kind of Compassion, but Compassion None the Less ), the Question is, how do you, as a Good Person, mend Things between the Two or you? Have Sx, of Course! Or, at Least, make inter Course ( Verbal or Physical ) with them. It is allways Best, and will allways cast you in a Good Light, to pursue Friendly, inTimate, or Carnal inter Course with your Enemies, even as you are calling them out on their Hypocrisies. Allways come at your Enemies from this Place - the Place of Love. As Love is Stronger than Hate, you will be guaranteed the Win, and, in this, the Enmity will be ended and Friendship will begin. Sx is the Ultimate Xpression of Friendship between Adults. Of Course, I wouldn't let Some One fuck you until their Hypocrisy has been un done by Xposure.




4. Be Patient



I will admit to Frequently being im’Patient ( Manic! ). The Cultivation of True Friendship / inFluence, like the Writing of a Good Book, takes Time. I like to put it this Way : there is the Short Con and there is the Long Con. The Short Con is the Situation as it presents its Self in the Moment. The Long Con is the Ramifications of the Situation that do not become Evident until Much Later. I am a Master of the Long Con. People are allways telling me I’m Crazy for the Things I do, but I have the Last Laugh because I understand why I do what I do in the Moment, and, All the More im’Portant, how what I am doing in the Moment will affect the Future. ( One Day, my Boy Friend / my Boy Friends’ Best Friend / the Hipster Twink / Tao Lin / Blake Butler / Marie Calloway / the “ Anarkists ” at Camas, VICE Magazine will thank me ) This Essay, for Xample - in the Short Term, it is an Entertaining and inFormative Piece of Writing. But, what Subtle Forces simmer beneath its Sentences? What is its Esoteric Purpose? Brazenly, I attack my Enemies, but Quietly, what Strings am I pulling, and where do they lead? You'll find out my Friends, and it will be Shocking in Deed.




5. Allways be prepared to change your Mind



Allways be prepared to change your Mind. Maybe you made a Mistake and called Some One on the Wrong Shit. Or maybe your Con didn’t work out because you failed to take into account Certain Variables. Allways be prepared to change your Mind. Allways be prepared to apologize and offer to improve your Self. Allways be prepared to bow to your Frienimies. So you will be Graceful.

Do recall - not Every Fight is Worth picking. Choose your Targets.
