A brief biography of Jayne Mansfield and an extensive filmography covering all her work
In this eloquent and passionate volume, Bob Ostertag explores the common ground and points of friction among music, creativity, politics, culture, and technology. In terrain ranging from the guerrilla underground in El Salvador's civil war to the drag queen underground in San Francisco and New York, these essays combine journalism and autobiography to explore fundamental questions of what art is and what role it can occupy in a violent and fragmented world, a world in which daily events compromise the universality toward which art strives. Drawing on his intimate engagement with political conflict in Latin America and the Balkans, Ostertag identifies an art of "insurgent politics" that struggles to expand the parameters of the physical and social world. He also discusses his innovative collaborations with major modern performers, filmmakers, and artists around the world. Part memoir, part journalism, and part aesthetic manifesto, Creative Life is a dazzling set of writings from a musical artist who has worked on the cutting edge of new music for thirty years.
Pageantry is a commemoration of the various -and often obscure- models of the 1930's, 1940's, 1950's, and 1960's. They competed in pageants, posed for photographers, and appeared in magazines and movies. In addition to profiling the various models, there's a lot of interesting facts about the outlandish and less mainstream pageants of that era. "Miss California", "Miss Cheese", "The Strawberry Queen", and "Miss Letter Carrier" were some of the pageants used to promote products, functions, and causes. The winners were academics, fashionistas, dancers, farmers, housewives, and athletes.
