Dear Loic
Prigent, I am not insane, I’m factual... or am I?
About
a year ago, I came across your twits! I thought they were a piss take to women.
Women in the fashion world. It’s not like you enhance them, is it? Your twits
are meant to be funny, but most of them, if not all of them are about women
saying “funny” things in the fashion world. It’s pretty perverse, but you got Catherine Deneuve to read them.
I’m
more a fan on your documentaries.
The
most recent one, 15 Feb 2017, I couldn’t remain silent: “Je ne suis pas folle, je suis factuelle” (I’m not crazy, I’m factual).
Basically, a complete unknown woman to twit readers, is saying something that’s
worth a twit and it is supposed to be funny.
TBH,
I smiled because I recognised myself. But then again, how many women are told
they are inventing facts? How many women are actually told they are crazy? How
many women spend their time having to prove stuff because men are playing
twisted games? Of course, women are too, but let’s say that here, I am focusing
on sexual harassment, rape, sexism and misogyny! Most women are affected on the
matter. I have been!
[If
you speak to Laurent Bon, your boss
@ Bangumi, he’ll tell you surely. If
he plays shy, I have been sexually harassed @ Les Inrocks, 1991-1992... kept
silent until two years ago]
I
started my blog, based in London, in March 2013, waiting for a job to come,
showing off my abilities in the world of arts. But have I got any abilities?
Question drives me crazy at times. Les
Inrocks were quick at noticing my blog, Jean Daniel Beauvallet at least.
To
cut it short, many of my posts have been used in Les Inrocks posts. But it’s only
coincidences, innit? I’m just crazy, right?
In
my July 2016 section on “bits and pieces” (see above) I made a polite reference
to it. If she interviewed Hockney
for her Please mag, special on Los
Angeles or California, the interview didn’t appear in its autumn issue. But
late August early September 2016, again, my two posts were intensely read in
France and UK. Did she try to publish it elsewhere? Did she ask him questions
according to what she read on my posts?
Da
bitch is now 25, I could be her mother, although the best thing I’ve done in my
life is to be childless. I would have put organic weed in their milk bottle to
boost their immune system, probably with a soupçon
of vodka. I can’t believe I have to deal with that cretin of a human being!
Because
London is so small, Les Inrocks keep walking on my footsteps. I do Somerset House, they do it, I do V&A, they do it, I do Tate, they do it, I do Alexander McQueen, they do it. How
often, pre 2013 have they written about these places? When did they have a
front cover on McQueen or any fashion designers? We are fucking talking McQueen
here, a giant, a visionnaire, a
“social worker”! He was alive once. Why an interest so suddenly?
The
very same guy who has just twittly befriended Alice Gros @ Fire
records (herself
a friend with the guy who harassed me at Les Inrocks... and strangely enough I
can’t write on Fire Records artists!
Only time to write on Las Kellies - the Argentinian ladies loved my post!
What
do you think Loic, friend (or at
least twit friend) with Les Inrocks journalist Jean-Marie Durand? Am I crazy, Am I factual? What do you suggest?
Any
jobs at Bangumi / Stupefiant / Quotidien? I must be good at something if Les Inrocks keep using my
posts! They make money out of an unemployed person! Class innit?
As Eric et Quentin would say “J’attends
vos réactions!”
“But you don’t care for music, do you...”
Hallelujah, Leonard Cohen.
[UPDATE] 19 Feb: tomorrow, on Stupéfiant, you will talk about feminine pleasure... Really
looking forward to it! Your mate on the prog will be talking on Andy Warhol... Maybe I’m paranoid, but
my December 2015 post on semi-him has been
read sporadically in the past few weeks / months!
Since I’m at it, being
paranoid, I wonder why Fleur Burlet
of Les Inrocks keeps reading my posts? Why she is constantly in Clapton or
Hackney, where I live: 17 February; a week ago; 12 February; and so bloody on! London, comment dire... is vast, big, huge,
enormous, ranks 13 on population in the world against Paris, 42... Well, if that makes her happy... cheap!
Oh and Christophe Conte of Les Inrocks who’s been wondering why...
Cos he’s got nothing to do with it... Well, he has! And so have all of them @
Les Inrocks and people supporting them... They have a voice to make this
insanity stop, do something about it! But you know what? They make money out of
it!
