Woman in Flames
June 10, 2007
Absolutely burnt. A book of 50 pictures and 50 thousand words, or 1,000 words per picture, is almost finished, and will be published soon by a mysterious new press in the Imperial City. The book details BadTV's encounters around the world with Abbi Hendrix, an equally mysterious model and would-be assassin. The pictures were taken in Brugges, Amsterdam, Paris, Iceland, San Remo, Chiapas, Oaxaca, Cuernavaca, Palenque and Belize over the course of three years as Seanie Blue attempted to capture the deceptions and desires of a love affair with Ananda Shields, mankiller. "I was there for the Iceland segment, when Abbi was between jobs, and Blue was writing the strangest stuff off the top of his head," recalls Sandie Black, "And we'd be out filming in a blizzard while Abbi walked around like a tiger in the flakes, without clothes, armed only with poetry and poison, and Blue has sat on all this stuff, 17,000 pictures and 30 hours of viddy waiting for who knows which planets to align before he springs his trap onto society. Now he says he's got something. We'll see. But he promised to put up at least ten pix here on BadTV with one thousand words attached to each and I'll hold him to it or drop him in the Sacramento River." Black snarls at Blue's procrastinations, and the nips and growls move him to action like lava, slow and hot. The BadTVRV (the "Badmobile") has moved him to act with more sprite, because here is a production house on wheels, pointed towards the wilds of Alaska and Montana, into the barrios of grizzly and timberwolf, and he can't wait. "It's ciao Hollywood, baby," says Blue, "And hello tundra." More, soon. Blue is calling the book "Burnt," and it will be part of a massive project called "The Burn & the Scar," which has been mentioned briefly here before. Two books, five discs, a dreamcatcher, coins and knick knacks from around the planet, and a million angles on the shadowy Abbi Hendrix. Three years in the making and not done yet. "There's a sex temple in a tiger reserve in India," notes Mr. Blue, "And when I get Abbi there to shoot the final thoughts and acts of this love story, I'm done." More and more, sooner and later.
