yamamanamaGuess who finally released an album. The answer is Jenny Olivia Johnson. The last part of Glass Heart is 4 minutes shorter than the one she has on Soundcloud and I have no idea why. But check it out, it's really quite beautiful.
Linnéa has green and white and blue glitter on her eyes, chosen to match her shirt. One of her companions, who may or may not be named Grace or Victoria, had a tree pendant, one had a choker, and one had a bandana that Linnéa said was a headband. She was talking about a fanny pack that has a cup holder.
A woman had spiral earrings and a tattoo of a skull with pigtails in a horseshoe.
I made it look like a woman had a 5 o clock shadow in my drawing but she was wearing a rainbow smear of glitter on her cheek. She also had a bisexuality pin and three smiley face stickers on her shirt.
One woman had pink hair and was covered in glitter. A few people wore flower crowns.
I couldn’t understand half of what Heather said because the train was so noisy. She heard that Elizabeth Warren was speaking at Pride and her friend wanted her to come to the Dance For World Community but she couldn’t.
A man had a sequined tank top but he got on at South Station and by then, I wasn’t drawing anybody.
There was a woman from Paraguay or of Paraguayan descent with a tattoo of a phoenix on her arm. Her friend told her a story about trains. One day, when they were busing from North Quincy to JFK/UMass and vice versa, someone named Sam stayed on the train and then wondered why they were moving backwards.
Everyone was wearing glitter and someone was like “I’ll have to shower for a month to get it out.”
Chris has a new painting in which Rick is climbing out the Mona Lisa and wishing everyone peace among worlds.
Coincidentally, or not, the colors matched the bisexual flag. Someone posted on Tumblr the real difference between pansexuality and bisexuality: their preference for a warm or cool color palette.
The only full sets I saw were Luminarium, who had the characteristic drone music played on a decaying tape, punctuated by the occasional pop or harsh buzz, which I think is intentional because they didn’t use tapes, but not the characteristic lighting, as it was in an outdoor tent; the Mladost folk ensemble; Spoorthi Davala, a south Indian, specifically Telugu, Kūcipūḍi dancer; The Riff, mostly because the stages went off-schedule; Boston Lykeion Ellinidon, Upāsanā, Oḍiśī dancing; Freedom Dances; and the Eclipse Dance Company.
Mladost did a dance from Greece, a dance that began as a hazing ritual from Stockholm, Sweden, a suite of tarantellas from Taranto, Italy, hence the name, and tarantulas are named for a large-ish wolf spider native to the region, and a Romany dance from Romania. None of which are Slavic countries.
The music stopped for one of Luminarium's dances and someone behind me noticed it and thought “the show must go on”
I saw two takes on the Lindy Hop. Boston Swing Central’s Friends pointed out that it’s the precursor to hip hop dancing. The Lindy Hop is mentioned on the Simpsons but we don’t talk about that episode (Still, I don’t think any episode is as bad as G.I. D’oh and I don’t think any episode will be) On the other hand, The Simpsons had a re-enactment of Al Capone dancing the Charleston on top of a flagpole and in BrainScratchComms’s Mega Man 1, video, Fire Man dances the Charleston.
Pantos Project did an interpretative dance about a girl who follows a blue morpho butterfly into the forest and dances in the monkey festival and is almost eaten by a jaguar, set to music by Delerium. One of their songs that uses Kayapó-Xikrin chanting.
Pasy Dance company is Senegalese. For one of them, they invited people on stage to dance. I think a lot of dancers listen for cues in the music. If, or rather, when, I meet a dancer, I'll ask them.
There was a performance where a man played electric guitar and there were six dancers dressed in yellow and gray.
Jack the Newfie was there, along with various other dogs including a shih tzu and a dog named Phoebe, and the guy with the cat. He told me the cat was the runt of the litter and I can’t remember her name but it was something humans use and it wasn’t Ashley, as she didn’t demand I pet her and then decide that she wants more than anything to rip my eyes out.
A woman who looked like Gabriella from behind but not from the front had tattooed on her arm a lamp with a single candle inside it, surrounded by blue hibiscus flowers and orange and black monarch butterflies, two blue mechanical roses. Yes, blue roses don’t exist but they’re mechanical.
On her lower back was tattooed something barely visible, in red.
A woman had peacock feathers and roses tattooed on her arm. A man had a tattoo of Marilyn Monroe, if Andy Warhol used watercolors. A woman had tattoos of The Grinch and various Scooby-Doo characters.
Three people had purple and green hair, one had it styled in a mohawk.
A woman was covered in black tattoos of alchemical symbols and summoning circles, a haunted treehouse on her back, a stag beetle on her leg. Her hair was mesopelagic blue and algae green, and her skin was pale as fuck in her words.
They provided free Capri Sun. And I had some lychee juice earlier.
A woman with cherry colored hair danced with me.
Most of the songs they played were in Spanish. They played YMCA. I'm far more familiar with the Cantonese version and a tribute to Ray Harryhausen that has Skeletor lip-syncing as the skeletons from Jason and the Argonauts dance.
Y'know, except Skeletor doesn't have lips so I guess he's jaw-syncing.
While Harris was in Paris, he was drawn by their most famous street artist, in five minutes, in magic marker.
A woman with the balloon told me I drew her friends earlier. She recognized Linnéa but didn’t know anyone else’s name. Her companion had a tattoo of a firefly. A fellow traveler in Pride had half neon carrot hair and half abyssopelagic black hair, a raccoon mask in rainbows, and tattooed on her, a dagron amongst desolation, some words in illegible cursive, a girl sitting on a pole, a flower.
burning question: How does Skeletor have such a nasal voice? He doesn't have a nose!
