Art opening - Danielle Levitt

So last night we hit up the Danielle Levitt art opening. A photographer that some good friends of mine have both assisted for and for once a sister doing it for her self. The show had some great work in it despite spotting a few hitched in some of the prints, someone needs to get sacked for leaving a little crop tool on a palm tree print, but that aside it was great. The bonus was a bunch of NY junior cheer leaders doing some crazy stuff, although they were like robot children. They had these hard ass fake smiles that look like they hide deadly sins. I dig it.

I think its also to do with the fact that every film iv ever seen with a cheerleader in makes my blood boil. They always play the nasty figure and i end um screaming at the TV instructing the other character with no self esteem to pipe up. Hollywood stereotypes at their prime. Anyway, the prints were rad and Turner and Louise managed to leave with a gold bow straight off the cheerleaders heads... charmed!.

This last shot made me chuckle, taking photos of photos is always a bit backwards but check out this scene within a scene. Standing in the corner are the cheerleader mums. Mothers to the bright toothed babies giving it their all at the opening ` ooooooooooooooook', in a pinch of salt way, an were gonna talk about stereotypes, these mothers resemble the vessels that channel their own misfortunes into their kids, push them to cheer, or be prom queens in the fo setting behind them. What goes around comes around. ( this is by no means in reference to the mothers here directly, anonymous comment taken on board, these guys were more than kind and gave the gals beautiful bows, remember we are talking stereotypes here)
