Warholization Of Drudge's Terrifying Hillary Montage

Animal New York ran Matt Drudge's montage of horrifying Hillary Clinton pics through something called the Warhol Art Maker, and the result is the glorious piece of art above. Not bad, eh? Or at least, you know, something that won't haunt your nightmares for eternity, which is an improvement. Even Obama supporters might like to frame and hang this, assuming Clinton drops out as the punditocracy near-unanimously says she will soon do, to fondly remember the good old days. [Animal]

Would Andy Warhol Have Satisfied His Magazine's New Dress Code?

Pictured at left is Andy Warhol with muse Edie Sedgwick in her "notorious... uniform" of black tights and loose-fitting shirt. That outfit is now unwelcome at the magazine Warhol co-founded, Interview, operated alongside two other titles by Brant Publications. A recent memo to Brant staff, occasioned doubt by Gotham's recent burst of warm weather, scolded that shorts had to be above the knee, "of the type that would be acceptable on a golf course," while "tights are not permitted at any time as a substitute for pants." Full dress code letter after the jump. More »

Attention Ladies: at 75, You Might Still Be a "Wild Child"

Drinking and slutting your way through your twenties on the downtown artclub scene? Party on! But listen, if you get famous, your NYT obituary will most definitely remember you as a wild one. Like Dorothy Podber, "artist and trickster", whose obit ran today. The first sentence tags her as "wild child of the New York art scene in the 1950s and '60s who is probably best known for brandishing a pistol and putting a bullet through the forehead of Marilyn Monroe's likenesses on a stack of Andy Warhol's paintings." That's a helluva reputation, sugar!

Latest by ouiserboudreaux: @onebadclam I think she's of a different caliber than the twits in trouble today. The Hilton/Lohan crew is just made up of drunken whores. Podber at least did some interesting things when drunk - and sober (the abortion referral service). I suppose it really is a matter of style. Hilton tried to get more »

Longtime 'Interview' Editor Ingrid Sischy Out At Magazine

Is this the end of days? We're hearing that Interview editrix Ingrid Sischy left the title yesterday. She was a downtown publishing fixture, if a minor one, known mainly for her famous friends from an earlier New York era, like Robert Mapplethorpe, Calvin Klein, Elton John and the Versaces. True to the mission of the magazine, she interviewed them at length, often at excessive length. More background, after the jump. More »

A 1981 Andy Warhol portrait of felon-baron Conrad Black sold for $240,000 yesterday. The Los Angeles art dealer who bought it, however, had no idea who Black was when he started bidding. Ouch. Though really, it's probably far more useful to recognize a Warhol than a Black, especially considering you won't be seeing much of the latter for the next 15-30 years. Stay tuned for Black's sentencing date, postponed this morning by 10 days to December 10.

Atoosa: "The Next Big Style Icon Is Going To Be A Drag Queen"


Former Seventeen editor Atoosa Rubenstein "said she is not thinking about business, only 'play,'" with her new web venture, a series of videos that debut on YouTube today. "But business is hardly on the back burner. She is seeking investors (although for now she is self-financed)." That stunning piece of news is one of many contained in Times trendtard Stephanie Rosenbloom's Style profile of the 'Toos today. More »

As part of a settlement between Conrad Black and the convicted fraudster's bankrupt Ravelston Corp., the convicted fraudster will pay nearly $400,000 to buy back a portrait of himself painted by the late Andy Warhol. "Andy used to take a Polaroid shot, blow it up, put it on four silk-screens of different colours, and sell them. We got on very well, so he sold me all four for the price of one.... He was a very entertaining character." [The Globe & Mail]

Posh Spice, Factory Girl

A reader writes: "I have become concerned of late that David Beckham inadvertently married the late Andy Warhol." We can sort of see her point.

Warhol Doc Attack Part Of Insanely Unlikely Conspiracy?

"Famous author" Rob Byrnes—he wrote the gayest book on earth, Trust Fund Boys—has sniffed out a new angle on the mysterious burning and beating of UES 'society doctor' Denton Sayer Cox. Cox claims that an assailant attacked him on a street corner. But the cops think his injuries are the result of a "gay pickup gone wrong," based on the types of burns and the fact that Cox's wallet was, uh, in his apartment. Sad and not at all funny! What is a little bit intriguing, though, is homo-chick-lit writer Byrnes' take on the whole sordid mess. More »

Latest by oneninesevenfour: The neighbor described hearing furniture banging against the walls and big band music blaring from Cox's apartment later Monday - never realizing it was likely the sound of a violent struggle. I didn't realize that big band music was the sound of a violent struggle, either. more »

Radar preview

From an article on Area, the post-Studio 54 club on Hudson Street that, in its heydey (1983-1987), was frequented by artist Andy Warhol, singer Boy George, the "brat pack" actors, writer Jay McInerney, and an assortment of artists, musicians, and NYC party people: [DJ Johnny Dynell:] "One summer night the room was really packed, and I noticed a sudden commotion on the floor. I ran down from the DJ booth to see what was happening. This guy had had a heart attack, and was just lying there. My first reaction was to stop the music and turn the lights on. But I realized that people would stop dancing and start crowding around him. So I decided to keep playing music. But what should I play? It would be the last thing this man would ever hear, assuming he was still listening. 'Last Dance' by Donna Summer would have been good, but I didn't have it. I hate to say it, but the last record he heard was Madonna's 'Holiday.' It was just out and very popular, and I knew it would keep people dancing. But if it was the last record I ever heard, I'd be really pissed."
