THE ACID GREEN LIGHT . . of the SUMMER of 2015 – !!<\/strong><\/p>\n well, I can categorically report that Instagram is great platform for trend-spotting. take GREEN LIGHT. hell no, I don’t want Iran<\/strong> to have nuclear capability, I don’t want anybody<\/strong> to have nuclear capability, we are just not<\/strong> advanced enough, as a PEOPLE to handle it. I mean, we can eat our young, with our bare hands – so, thank you very much.<\/p>\n shout-out to the YELLOW DOGS<\/strong>, the ex-pat Iranian band that got blown away in Brooklyn a few years back. tell me their anti-Iran repressive gov’t big mouths – didn’t get them blown to smithereens. we never<\/strong> did hear how that ‘disgruntled’ band member got his hands on that big assault rifle, did we.<\/p>\n and of course the USA<\/strong> is right in there like a dirty shirt, make that a dirty pair of shit smeared underwear. natives of Bikini atoll, lend me your island for a weekend and $60 each. 60 years or so on, and it’s still not safe for the native sons – to return. <\/p>\n and what about JAPAN<\/strong>. damn, they got it coming and going, just like a used-up porn star. they got bombed, and then half a century later, they shot themselves in the nuclear ass, ok – foot. too.<\/p>\n so, what’s the coolest color this summer, or what ?<\/p>\n acid green light, and then like an collective empathy, a kind of ‘fellow-well-meet’ cosmic dusting, a small puppy brood – of fruit ‘loopy’ colors – of all neon hues, spins the art world, from . . NYC EVIE FALCI rhinestones – to LA. KB, better known on these pages as: ‘ain’t KARMA a BITCH’. I guess the neon radiance had been seeping in all summer, til it jumped right back at me, as I was bemoaning my sorry financial state, due to lowlife ‘Christianos’ Jersey City tenats not paying the rent, (yeah, karma is a bitch, tell me about it !!) and I caught the evil-green hue – shining as sickly magnetic radiation like morning-light on my vintage green glass, in a lower case window.<\/p>\n no<\/em> sooner do I go to post it, when what pops up before my very eyes: @SadieLaska’s green light spilling on figure. I’m dumb-struck. I feel like – Japan !! double whammy. T & T. TAYLOR McKIMENS Instagram feed – was the first . . to tip me off.
\nand – telepathy. or as we like to call it: T & T to the maxxxxx !!!<\/p>\n
\nGreen, once the grassy warm fuzzy huggy color of bio-health, organic farming, and positive thinking things like . . Green Lit – to happen !!, is now the subconscious color of fear, chaos, in a word: nuclear destruction, nuclear explosion, & including nuclear plant accidents, radiation sickness, putrid water, barren soil for devades if not cneturies.<\/p>\n
\nyou know . . like, watermelon slices . . adorning Venus.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/green-vintage-glass-.jpg\" "\\"green-vintage-glass-\\"")
