NOT So Fresh and So Clean

"Since 1948, the No-Rinse line of cleaning solutions has been bringing relief to those who cannot enjoy the luxury of a shower. Whether you're on an outdoor adventure high in the Rockies, or three days into a week-long fishing tournament in the Gulf, or in mid-Pacific on that 'round-the-world sailing trip, you need to be able to freshen up, even if you can't take a hot shower."

Girl Model

"blaming beautiful women for their own troubles is our default position. It makes us feel better about our own flawed bodies to be snarky and assume they just need to eat a sandwich, or decide that teen models, like child pageant stars, are all some freakish manifestation of bad mothering and too much reality television. Girl Model is a stark reminder of our own complicity in the global phenomenon of modeling. After all, girls like Nadya wouldn't be for sale if we stopped buying."

[Chris Elliot - "Get a Life"]
"Look at this face, what do you see?
Look at it Dad, what do you see?
What do you see? Say it, say it!"
'Uhh ayuahh it's a face!'
"Yeah but what kind of face?"
'Uhh, pale.. pasty.. psychotic'
"No Dad!
It's a neatly chiseled, well groomed, drop dead handsome face!" 
Oh my God, they're gorgeous!

The girl at the center of “Girl Model” is 13-year-old Nadya Vall, a willowy candidate whose childlike looks make her a shoo-in for the youth-obsessed Japanese market and whose consequent travails are chronicled by Sabin and Redmon, from Siberia to Tokyo and a series of misadventures that seem built into the system. But where Vall is the picture of innocence and aspiration, ex-model Ashley Arbaugh is something else. The film’s most intriguing and enigmatic character, Arbaugh now wrangles young girls for the Russian agency run by a shady customer named Tigran, and his Japanese counterpart, known as “Messiah” (a mogul who “really likes models,” as Arbaugh says, in the film’s most loaded moment).

Scout Ashley exhibits nothing short of full on Stockholm Syndrome as she openly admits that the fashion industry is based on “nothing.” She looks at the camera with dull eyes as she shares her own bouts of depression when she was a young teenager floating in the Japanese market. Her forced smiles and shifty gazes punctuate stories of young models turned prostitutes as she is forthcoming about the conditions she inducts these young girls into. Her boss, the head of Switch Models, is in 40s and when she tells the camera that he likes young girls — the moment is ambiguously uncomfortable. Cut to the same man showing  Ashley photos on his laptop of a rising star in his agency — a 12-year-old girl in thigh-high stockings and high heels photographed in black and white. She nods and smiles at the photographs approvingly.

Her emotional disconnection from her job, her “trained eye” for youth, and her work with “the girls” squares oddly with her pronounced want of a child — a desire that is revisited  as she mocks a couple of baby dolls she purchased when she bought her Connecticut home. Later in the film, Ashley has to have both a cyst and a thyroid removed, a tactful inclusion on the part of the filmmakers as in the context of the film and her continued justification for her seedy job, she appears to be rotting from the inside out.

Tigran Khachatrian, explains what he thinks is special about 12- and 13-year-old girls: they have "dignity,"

Well actually it was a Ukrainian guy named Alex that she wanted us to meet, but he told us to get the heck out, and so then Ashley took us to meet Tigran.... For some  - reason and you’d have to ask her – her clothing was never finished, there was no indication that she was having a show during Fashion Week, and when we got to Paris, we discovered she wanted us to meet a guy named Tigran....There is no relationship with Tigran, we know him through Ashley (Arbaugh) and the first time they met she told us to leave and we were baffled and disappointed. We returned and he was eager to speak with us. We were confused what Ashley told him, but he agreed to let us film him anyway.... We still don’t know what she told Tigran, who he is, or why she wanted us to film him.

"Once you watch the footage it is VERY clear that this is Russian mob, and possibly, Japanese Yakuza perpetrating a scam. The girls and their families end up in debt and the agency even makes money off of photos the girls never get paid for and they are using an American woman (Ashley) as the recruiter to make their outfit look legitimate." @Bianca Juganaru

"The whole thing is just so sketchy since the agency (and the recruiter) seem to be making tons of money, plus they are paying all the living and travel expenses of these girls, and Nadya, herself, was sent to Asia after two months of making nothing. We asked ourselves, "what agency does this?" The answer is too simple. The girls are picked very young for a Japanese/Asian market....we figured that they must be putting hidden cameras in the girls' living quarters and bathrooms for live streaming web porn. Ugly, we know, but it seems to be the only fitting explanation of the constant recruitment of young girls and the seemingly endless supply of money these agencies are making and spending to facilitate the operation. Why didn't the documentarians figure this out?!" susanemacaluso@yahoo.com

"These young girls are sought out in the poorest & most isolated parts of the world, and will have no chance against Ashley’s experience & smile, along with the industry machinery behind her. Tigran is too successful & too old for the train rides now, but he has fond memories of the back-and-forth motion, the young girls, and the toilet room."

Susan McClary on Beethoven's 9th or A Clockwork Orange RAW

For instance, Susan McClary has found Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony a musical hymn to rape, which will no doubt surprise all those with less androphobic ears, who hear something quite different in it, something of cosmic grandeur. Says McClary, “The point of recapitulation in the first movement of the Ninth is one of the most horrifying moments in music… which finally explodes in the throttling, murderous rage of a rapist…” Sounds almost as bad as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, doesn’t it?

Although I write a lot of satire, I didn’t make this up. You can find McClary’s analysis in Minnesota Composers’ Forum Newsletter, January 1987. She also doesn’t like Western classic music in general, because of its “phallic violence” and “pelvic pounding.”

I insist I did not invent McClary or any of her ravings. Honest to God. Some Femigogues just happen to sound like satire when you quote them verbatim. As for the female masterpieces set against old Ludwig, they only appear inferior, the Feminist revisionists say, because all of us have had our perceptions warped by the “patriarchal brainwashing” of our “phallocentric” culture. (“All of us” includies many female art critics, like Camille Paglia, who angrily claims this argument has crossed the line to an idiot caricature of Feminism) Maybe we all need a long de-programming at a Feminist re-education camp. Then we will realize that Hildegarde of Bingen not only outclassed Beethoven but wrote more first-rate music than Mozart, Bach and Scott Joplin together, and without any rape fantasies creeping in.

She goes on to conclude that "The Ninth Symphony is probably our most compelling articulation in music of the contradictory impulses that have organized patriarchal culture since the Enlightenment" (129). 

McClary suggests that sonata form may be interpreted as sexist ormisogynistic and imperialistic, and that, "tonality itself - with its process of instilling expectations and subsequently withholding promised fulfillment until climax - is the principal musical means during the period from 1600 to 1900 for arousing and channeling desire." 

"What is remarkable about this movement is that Schubert conceives of and executes a musical narrative that does not enact the more standard model in which a self strives to define identity through the consolidation of ego boundaries...in a Beethovian world such a passage would sound vulnerable, its tonal identity not safely anchored; and its ambiguity would probably precipitate a crisis, thereby justifying the violence needed to put things right again."
