LOGOHNO

The polo image of the man and a horse was created as part of an elaborate and fabricated Anglican world for designer who changed his name. An advertisement. Then there’s a man jousting on the Burberry shirts. There’s a Golden Fleece on the Brooks Brothers shirts, it’s wearers probably not aware of the story of the Argonauts. There’s a moose on the Abercrombie short sleeve shirts and let’s not get started on the crusty Izod alligator. So as an exercise in my abilities as a marksman with my art cutouts, I’ve been ironing on patches coordinated to shirts. Having some little knickknack on your chest as an ‘emblem of authority and kingship’ (Golden Fleece) is ridiculous. They do instantly give off an heir decency and legitimacy to the viewer. Hypocritically, I love the Vivienne Westwood logo. She’s got you’re back. In comparison to barbaric men on mammals (with clubs in some asinine sport) there’s the universe. A universe snob. It’s bigger than the both of us. In the Metropolitan Museums book, “Symbols of Power in Art”,the orb and the cross are said to be the most enduring and powerful. It is, however the equal armed cross, not necessarily of Christ. What has no game is my trying to blog again from these stupid devices. It doesn’t work for me. It’s not fluid and I typo out of stress, pecking on a pad. I can’t even add hyper links. It is a square peg. The blog is blank the shirts are blank. See it is all crosses up.

VINCENT PRICE AS MY ANCESTOR, JAMES REAVIS, IN "THE BARON OF ARIZONA" (1950) LINK


YES it's true. I am often reminded by my paranoid family to stay extremely private, but these guys are dead. Vincent Price plays one of my ancestors we are less proud of, James Reavis (they gave me Reavis as my first name):
The U.S. government recognizes land grants made when the West was under Spanish rule. This inspires James Reavis to forge a chain of historical evidence that makes a foundling girl the Baroness of Arizona. Reavis marries the girl and presses his claim to the entire Arizona territory:
Master swindler James Reavis devotes years to forging documents that will give him claim to the entire state of Arizona. He finds a young girl whom he believes is an orphan and hires a governess to educate her in the manner of the Spanish aristocracy. He invents deceased parents for her whose ancestry can be traced to a mythical Spanish nobleman. He then insinuates himself into a Spanish monastery for three years so he can access its biblioteca which carries the records of Spanish land grants. He later joins a gypsy band to have access to the library of a Spanish noblemen where he can alter duplicate documents. When everything is in place, he marries the now-grown young woman and puts in his claim as her husband as the Baron of Arizona.

He was in power for a short period of time while everyone did paperwork. He was soon booted from his mansion and put in jail for a short period of time.

It was sociopath behavior and his heart was not in the right place, but WOW what a lot of dedication and psychotic planning! Bravo! I am from a long line of illustrious nut jobs... that end up being played by Vincent Price! How whacked! R
