"Are you wearing the—" "The airbrushed T-shirt version of the 1974 artwork Lynda Benglis ran as an ad in Artforum printed as an almost unrecognizably ethereal palimpsest on a sheer, beaded, short-sleeved dress in the Dior Haute Couture F/W 26-27 collection? Yeah, yeah I am." greg.org/archive/2026...

a thin fair skinned model with straight dark hair back wears an off white tshirt style dress in sheer organza i think with intermittent strings of beads, that comes to her mid calf. there is a faintly painted or printed outline in airbrushed rainbow colors of a figure, and the faint letters artf across the chest. the model stands on a black parquet floor with palm fronts behind her, and holds a platinum colored pleated metallic bag. this is from the lynda benglis inspired dior haute couture show, and the figure alluded to on the dress is benglis, posing with a giant double dildo for a work she published in artforum in 1974 as an advertisement. but none of that is really legible in this five-figure made to order garment

Some very cool lyrics on the new Kurt Vile are: "I saw you play it in your first band That was my favorite band Then you joined my band on the bass We had a lot of laughs in it But I still remember Man, we were blazin', it was amazin' "
