Re: Cookie Mueller
Picture this Cautious Lips, Cookie is on her way to see an art show so she can review it for her weekly review in The East Village Eye ( local arts newspaper of the east village) I run into her on 57th street uptown and she invites me to join her. The opening is in a gallery on the 9th floor of a building on W.57th St. We arrive early before anyone so she can see all the work clearly without anybody in the way. We take the elevator to the 9th floor and the door opens right into the gallery.

Re: Cookie Mueller
Thank you. You seem to always have such stories...you should consider writing a book (I know I'd buy it.) On a positive note, I am trying this patience you spoke of in the Anya thread Shhh...I'm trying to listen to reason...

Re: Cookie Mueller
And Cookie was a brilliant writer, as well as being a photographic icon and movie star, CL. There's a worship site at: http://www.angelfire.com/md/cookiemueller/home.html if you can stand the pop-ups. Her book, "Walking Through Clear Water In A Pool Painted Black" is an amazing classic and I believe still available from Amazon. I first met Cookie that summer that everyone from "Desperate Living," as did I, lived in Provincetown (where Bobby lives now.) The summer when Willy Brookes, the...

Re: Cookie Mueller
I recently read Ask Dr. Mueller:The Writings Of Cookie Mueller. It was amazing-I laughed, I cried, it was an amazing read. I also recently picked up I'll Be Your Mirror(video) and it was such a touching film. I was not around during the club periods, etc so this video is nothing short of amazing. I do admit, I cried a lot while watching the parts with Sharon and Cookie.

Re: Farewell Charming Old New York
Hi Bobby darling, Happy New World Disorder 2005! Apropos of fighting against the machine, I just saw the East Village Art Show at the Chelsea Museum -- so major! It could have been ten times bigger... Paintings that are so fervent and wild. David Wojnarowicz's "Death of American Spirituality" is one of the most terrifying paintings seen in a long time. Overarching the experience is the apocalyptic drone of Sonic Youth from the video room. Sue Coe's "Car Hookers" is incredible as is David...

Re: Farewell Charming Old New York
Though I liked a lot of the art at the New Museum show it was not actually about the art. As much as I liked the kooky dancing bee video for its low-budget, tres gay, faux MTV production value, Klaus Noami's video (with sound so lamentably under-amped), the Jack Smith AMAZING 1962 film -the show is about the scene and the people and not really about the art at all! Not too subtle about that either, since the whole upstairs gallery is devoted to 'class' pictures and headshots of the...

Re: Cookie Mueller
I was just having some wonder... I was looking through My SO 80's book By Patrick McMullan...And I saw Cookie in Her casket... I always wondered why she died so young...so I started searching... I have had such a great time researching her. She was such a jewel. I wish I could have met her...

Re: Cookie Mueller
She was a jewel, you are right. I think there is a Cookie topic here somewhere.

Re: Cookie Mueller
Daddy..you silly..THIS is the Cookie topic. And here in Ptown we have Cookie's son Max aka Baby Noodles from Pink Flamingos and Cookies baby grandaughter who looks just like her. She danced next to me for an hour last week in front of town hall as I played guitar and sang. She's a real pisser.

Re: Cookie Mueller
Of course this is the Cookie Topic. I'm so stupid. I'll never figure out this whole interweb thing. Chi Chi just laughed. She said, "Now the whole world knows what I know". Actually, that was a VERY Cookie Mueller thing to do. She was really smart, really funny and REALLY ditsie.

Blehpunk, Please email us at mail@theclubcreatures.com I'm calling Jojo, Greer's apprentice tonight to give him the heads up. He's got a couple pieces, and he's also been in touch with Paul Monroe (Greer's Husband) as recent as a year ago. At that time they were throwing around the idea of a book... I'd like to put you in touch with him. Also, I don't know what kind of connections you have, but if you can, you might want to consider talking to Nan Goldin. Some of her work features Greer. How...

Re: My own private East Village
Loved this thread. I used to live in hapi's building, and when I saw the articvle about this raid in the times I was sitting at a break room table of a retail store and pointed out to a couple of coworkers that I used to live about "right here" in one of the photos of cvop activity. It seemed like some thought that was glamourous, and others thought it was so glamorous i might be lying about having lived there. It also brought up a lot of NYC memories, and i feel just like Bobby expressed...

Just to set the record straight.. I AM the photographer of the photos of Cookie Mueller, her son Max and Gennaro Palermo in Provincetown, that have been floating around. Not David Armstrong.

Re: Cookie Mueller
Dear Audrey Antler, I apologize for my wrong assumption about David Armstrong -- whose “Summer of ’79” show at the Albert Merola Gallery in Provincetown (25 May -14 June 2007), which included several photographs picturing Cookie and John Waters during that P-town season, led me (and others) to suspect that it was Armstrong who took those great photos. Judging from Max's age, they look like they were taken in the late '70s. But of course Cookie was photographed by a lot of people throughout...

Re: Cookie Mueller
I was honored in 1984 (I think) to do a reading w/ Cookie Mueller, who I did not know, at Hallwalls gallery in Buffalo NY. It was one of my first solo poetry readings. I didn't really know anything about her then, except that she had been in Pink Flamingos. But I *loved* her writing, and the way she read it was so great -- she had a slight lisp, and a very hilarious, deadpan delivery, but you were in on the joke with her -- she never had that snotty distance so many "cool" people have. The...
