camille paglia

["Brian J Dillard" <dillardb@student.msu.edu>]

i just finished vamps and tramps and am rereading sex art and american culture
and reskimming sexual personae and in general i think this woman is a godsend
at PCU, i mean MSU, where even as a queer womens studies major i get into
trouble all the time for thinking for myself.

anyway, i want to send camille a mix tape of kate stuff. she is a big pop
culture conneissure (sp?) but i dont know that she probably knows a lot of
kates stuff, even though it would be up her alley. i'm thinking of going
chapter by chapter in sexual personae (her pop critical tome on art from
nefertiti to emily dickinson, the one that launched her into the media
spotlight) and choosing one song that fits the theme ofeachchapter. the chapter
on ancient egypt and the creation of beauty will, of course, be 'egypt.' the
chapter on picture of dorian gray will be probably 'kashka'. i'm wondering if
anyone else who is familiar with camille's work might have some suggestions for
some of the other selections? if none of you know what in the f*** i;m
blathering on about, just slap be. but if there are any other fans out there, i
know you'll be able to help me. . . . .
