pantryslutI cannot tell you how much I am in love with this quote (courtesty PopMatters' interview with Alessandro Porco):
"Think of "Jill Kelly" less as a person and more as representative of a social space with its own native discourse, terms like "dirt-box" and "titty-bop" or phrases like "twiddle my twat" and "driving the Hershey highway" as part of its citizenry; but this exceptional space simultaneously allows for Gertrude Stein, the Renaissance, sound poetry, the practice of revisionist History, balladeering, and philology. And, in this sense, it's a much more evolved locus -- the kind of place I want to be, in fact, and the kind of place I want my readers to be, to experience, if only temporarily. (It's easy to think of "Jill Kelly" as such, especially if one keeps in mind that her name itself is linguistic construct, a false signifier, a compound product of the performer's two favourite characters from Charlie's Angels.)"
This is me in the corner, giggling helplessly.
