Mercurial Man

There's an enormous sexy silver mercurial alien guarding the Distillery District in d/t Toronto. It looks to me like he was modelled after a very fit fella w/camel toe hands & feet, then had his face blown off like the cop in the Terminator film. You can see just how tall he sits by looking at the lady on the bench.

Salvador Dali Museum

I was lucky enough to visit the Dali Museum in 1994 (about an hour drive from Barcelona) in a town called Figueres. Yes, those are giant dinosaur-sized eggs on the roof with hundreds of shiny, golden loaves of bread mounted to the external walls. I guess Dali liked breakfast best.



Dali was married to a demanding bisexual Austrian woman that some say exploited him til one of them died. They were known for engaging in lavish orgies in the Catalan Village home which I also visited later, in 1998. Sadly they're both dead and I trecked there on the one day it was closed. I vdo-taped most of the art but have a couple of pics to share. Unbelievable how much he accomplished in his lifetime, I wonder if he wasn't just signing his name to whatever was put in front of him in the end. Even one of his many sculptures on the lot would take one man years to carve. Not to mention his many detailed works, etchings, sketchings, paintings and furniture.

This is a rare snap of Dali's bedroom, the bed he actually slept on, but rarely alone no doubt.

This is a postcard of the actual display, these are all objects placed to look like Mae West I think. There was a small ramp for visitors to climb up and look at images forming the face from above - not easy to capture in a photograph.
