Annie Sabroux, (possibly) Douglas Earle, Suki Potier, Bill Chenail, and two others. Photographed in Ossie Clark/Quorum regalia, outside 52 Radnor Walk, Chelsea in Spring 1968 by Billy Ray

52 Radnor Walk was the location of Quorom, English Boy Ltd and also where Suki and Brian Jones lived for a period in 1968.

The photo shoot took place for a feature on his/hers clothing for the June 21st issue of Life Magazine but unfortunately the images weren't used. However, images of fellow English Boy models Kari-Ann Muller and Rufus Potts Dawson were used, showing the pair in his/hers clothing from the Apple Boutique.

Sunshine, 30, she/her ( trans fem ), Taurus. I'm an absolute dingus who lives cringe and will die cringe. I love my muses and animation and stories so much.

Rules:

This blog is not a safe space for bigots so take it somewhere else.

Don't be a dick. Be patient. Any vague posts will be met with a block. I come here to write what I want when I want to.

No forced shipping.

Please tag any bodily harm graphics. I also have Trypophobia so anything with a bunch of holes makes me nauseous.

NSFW and triggering themes will be present and tagged. 21+ to follow because of that.

Lastly, keep me out of your drama and be kind to one another. This is a hobby, remember that.

"...SEEN HERE STRUTTING HER STUFF AT THE BLITZ CLUB."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on then fashion student Wendy Tiger Pearson dancing at the Blitz Club, Covent Garden, London, England c. February 1980. 📸: Homer Sykes.

BACKGROUND INFO: The Blitz Kids at the Blitz Club were a group of people who frequented the Tuesday club-night in Covent Garden from 1979-80. They are credited with launching the New Romantic subcultural movement. There was an emphasis on style that was ensured by enforcing a strict dress code at the door. Crucially, the Blitz lay between two art colleges (St. Martin's School and Central School) and it became a testbed for student fashion designers who set London ablaze during the 1980s. The club was decked out in Second World War posters and thus the Clubs name.

PART II: "Fashion student Wendy Tiger Pearson worked at Granny Takes a Trip in the Kings Road, Chelsea. She was also a dancer at the Embassy nightclub in Bond Street, seen here strutting her stuff at the Blitz Club. Many years later Wendy can be found at a London university working in administration or on Saturday nights at the Chelsea Arts Club and still strutting her stuff."

-- HOMER SYKES (Canadian-born/British photographer)

It goes without saying that if an up-and-coming hero wants to help build their brand, it's important for them to have some sort of presence on social media.

While some of the heroes in older age brackets end up joining platforms in an attempt to bridge the gap with younger prospective fans, for new heroes of a younger persuasion, their success as a hero and their popularity online end up feeding into one another to help chart their course up the national leader boards.

Here are a few examples of 'rising star' heroes young and old and their respective online platforms:

Amily Garen: She is very active and outspoken on Bluejay, particularly in regard to both dragon and LGBT issues and media, but her biggest audiences outside her hero work are from her Pictogram profile where she shares workout videos, her adventures in parkour around the city, various self-defense tips, and the occasional clip of her hero work. One of the most Online of the heroes.

Snow Angel: All her personal pages are private, but she does have a Bluejay and yet to be named YouTube equivalent account for her band, Chelsea Says, which are both pretty active.

Good Ol' Greg: Despite being well into his 70s, he's wildly popular on Bluejay. It was recently discovered that he was the man behind his universe's equivalent of dril and it was worldwide news for like a week. Nobody saw it coming, but honestly, they really should have.

Kid Cthulhu: He's actually a pretty prolific artist online whose work tends to get reposted without credit more often than he'd like. He's very popular among teenagers and fans of the eldritch and macabre, but purportedly maintains a second persona for "normie" art that is also pretty popular. Nobody knows what the latter is though, only that he's out there, somewhere...

Cadence: She actually makes more money streaming video games than she does as a hero, which given the average salary within the hero industry for someone signed to a major agency such as her is really saying something. She's famous for her deep conversations on life, philosophy, and mental health with her chat while simultaneously no scoping e-sport pros like it's nothing.

Miyamoto Takuma: Also pushing 70, Takuma actually has a fairly successful travel blog. As the only pro hero allowed to work *without* an agency, he isn't bound to only areas his agency has a presence or affiliate in, or to the random assist request. He's always traveling the country and tends to take beautiful photographs of locals and environments.

Cheshire: She's an extremely popular food blogger on Pictogram. She's also a frequent sight in engineering circles all across the internet, both in the comments and in sharing projects of her own. All her tech is homegrown, after all, and she loves to share her inventions, innovations, and expertise.

Rave: Active on Bluejay. They speak entirely in emojis and textless reaction images. Their energy is that of some godforsaken combination of Deadpool, Harley Quinn, and the Joker with the aesthetic of an edgy Japanese schoolgirl with a weird sense of humor. They pop up in the most random places and run the single largest botnet on the internet for the sole purpose of trolling politicians in every country on Earth.

Amanda Reins: Very popular on that YouTube equivalent with videos of her various builds and robots. Think Adam Savage but if he also made fully autonomous semi-intelligent robots. She's also one of the internet's most well-known and respected white hat hackers.

Jack Hyde: Even villains need an online presence in the modern day. There are actually two Jack Hyde accounts active on Bluejay right now, each proclaiming to be the *real* successor to the name. Jack Hyde is one of the few legacy villains who has been represented by multiple people over the decades.

Providence: Extremists? Terrorists? Liberators? It all depends on who you ask. But they are absolutely everywhere online, from the front page to the deepest, darkest, nichest corners you can imagine. Their manifestos are as popular as they are eloquent, and are suspected to have drawn in 90% of its current members.

⚠️ Disclaimer: I don't own the image/ picture/ photo/ photograph and image/ photograph/ photo/ picture isn't mine.

📷 Credits goes to Dallas Wings, Bally Sports South West: Twitter/ X (Ugh; really?) and the respective players for this image/ photo/ picture/ photograph.

Another lost media file I have found; Bella, Allisha and Chelsea 'Chelz' are looking too cute on the sideline for the Dallas Wings.

On an irrelevant yet a personal note except still relevant to thew topic but . . . I'd think Dallas Wings should definitely regret losing both Chelsea Dungee and Allisha Gray due to the different reasons they say the word 'Goodbye' to the both of them without even having to give them the room to grow (Including Bella Alarie) and yet for Bella; since she had retired from the WNBA for good; I don't think I truthfully blame her anything for good--honestly I do blame dejectedly on the WNBA for making their league so stagnant like come on we do need the growth in the W League.

Come on, WNBA: why not let the fandom have the same energy as how the WBB Community does have it on here on Tumblr.

On an off topic yet an irrelevant and a personal note; in my own fantasy world or definitely in my 'Never came to fruition' writing project I am going to put it on hold for a very long time; I'd think Allisha does look so good that she could become a swimmer (Recreational swimmer) in my own opinion and I'd think she would have a one piece swimwear which fits her well with the same Dallas Wings Rebels Uniform you have seen in this picture alone.

Also, I don't have ideas for Chelsea Dungee as an original character I want to do unfortunately but I do want her to be one of the many protagonists which I do have in my very own mind but never came to fruition as well.

At age 110, Lawrence Brooks of New Orleans is the Oldest Known Living U.S. Veteran of World War II. From 1941 to 1945 he served in the Pacific with the Army’s predominantly African American 91st Engineer Battalion, as a support worker to its officers. Of the 16 million U.S. veterans who fought in World War II, only 300,000 are still alive. He credits a healthy lifestyle, deep faith and love of people for his longevity. Photograph By Robert Clark

America’s Oldest Living WWII Veteran Faced Hostility Abroad—And At Home

At 110 Years Old, Louisiana Native Lawrence Brooks is Proud of His Service and Says he Would Do It Again.

— By Chelsea Brasted | Published: May 11, 2020 | Saturday November 11, 2023

Editor's Note: Lawrence Brooks died on January 5, 2022, at the age of 112, the National WWII Museum said in a statement.

The memories are more than 75 years old now: Cooking red beans and rice halfway around the world from the place in Louisiana that first made the recipe. Cleaning uniforms and shining shoes for three officers. Hopping in foxholes when his trained ear could tell the approaching warplanes were not American but Japanese.

The man who keeps these memories is older still. At 110, Lawrence Brooks is the oldest known U.S. veteran of World War II. This month marks the 75th anniversary of the end of the war in Europe. Of the 16 million U.S. veterans who served, about 300,000 are still alive today, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Brooks is proud of his military service, even though his memories of it are complicated. Black soldiers fighting in the war could not escape the racism, discrimination, and hostility at home.

Lawrence Brooks, photographed in his home, holds a portrait of his younger self. Born September 12, 1909, Brooks was drafted into the Army at age 31. Despite the segregated army and hostile treatment he received during and after the war, Brooks is a proud veteran. After the war he worked as a forklift operator until he retired nearly 40 years ago.

When Brooks was stationed with the U.S. Army in Australia, he was an African-American man in a time well before the Civil Rights Movement would at least codify something like equality in his home country.

“I was treated so much better in Australia than I was by my own white people,” Brooks says. “I wondered about that. That’s what worried me so much. Why?”

Rob Citino, Senior Historian at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, says the U.S. military then had “racist characterizations” of African-American soldiers during the war.

“You couldn’t put a gun in their hands,” he says of the then-prevalent attitude. “They could do simple menial tasks. That was the lot of the African-American soldier, sailor, airman, you name it.”

The jobs open to African-American troops depended on the branch of service and changed as the need for manpower increased throughout the long years of war.

“We went to war with Hitler, the world’s most horrible racist, and we did so with a segregated army because, despite guarantees of equal treatment, this was still Jim Crow America,” Citino says. “African Americans were still subject to all kinds of limitations and discrimination based on the color of their skin. I think they were fighting for the promise of America rather than the reality of America.”

Of the 16 million Americans who donned a military uniform, 1.2 million were African Americans who were “often being treated as second-class citizens at home,” Citino says.

To put that into perspective, Citino says, consider that German prisoners of war could have been served at restaurants while en route to or from their quarters at Camp Hearne in Texas, but the African-American soldiers who transported them would have been denied service.

Brooks says he never discussed these inequalities with his fellow African-American service members. “Every time I think about it, I’d get angry, so the best thing I’d do is just leave it go,” he says.

The military was not formally desegregated until President Harry Truman forced it with a 1948 executive order. For Brooks, who served in the Army between 1940 and 1945, that order would come too late.

A reluctant soldier, it didn’t sit right with him that he might be required to take another person’s life.

“My mother and father always raised me to love people, and I don’t care what kind of people they are,” he says. “And you mean to tell me, I get up on these people and I got to go kill them? Oh, no, I don’t know how that’s going to work out.

Raised in Norwood, Louisiana, near Baton Rouge, Brooks came from a big family of 15 children. He drew on another lesson from his mother—cooking—in his Army job, which had him assisting a few white officers, doing their cleaning and cooking. Part of the 91st Engineers Battalion in the Pacific Theater, whose responsibility was to build military infrastructure, Brooks’ unit often didn’t stay anywhere long. He’d occasionally drive the officers he served to nights out on the town when they could get away for an adventure or two. But even that job didn’t keep him from carrying a rifle everywhere he went.

“I had to keep it with me,” he says. “And I was glad I did. I didn’t want to be out there shooting at people because they’d be shooting at me, and they might have got lucky and hit.”

Brooks says he was treated “better” by white Americans when he returned from the war, but it would take nearly two decades before the Civil Rights Act was signed into law.

The father of five children, 13 grandchildren, and 22 great grandchildren, Brooks worked for many years as a forklift operator before retiring in his seventies. For years he avoided discussing his experiences in the war, sharing little of his story with his children as they grew up.

His daughter, Vanessa Brooks, who cares for him, says the first time she started hearing his stories was about five years ago when the World War II Museum began hosting annual birthday parties for him in New Orleans, where he now lives. But he still shies away from his family’s questions about his war years.

“I had some good times and I had some bad times,” Brooks says. “I just tried to put all the good ones and the bad ones together and tried to forget about all of them.”

Brooks says his military years taught him to straighten up, so he did his best to eat right and stay healthy. He never enjoyed the taste of alcohol and the way liquor burned his throat. “I don't like hurting my body,” he says.

In 2005, Brooks lost his wife, Leona, to Hurricane Katrina. She died shortly after the couple was evacuated by helicopter from their home. “Hurricane Katrina took everything I owned, washed away everything,” he said last year.

Still, Brooks is upbeat. He enjoys spending warm days on his daughter’s front porch in Central City, a neighborhood at the heart of New Orleans. It’s not uncommon to hear Mardi Gras Indians singing, or watch a brass band-led second-line parade go by on Sundays.

Brooks uses his walker to head out of his bedroom—bedecked in the black and gold colors of the New Orleans Saints—to chat with the children at the daycare next door. At 110, he says, his key to a good life is straightforward: “Serve God, and be nice to people.”

Predicting the Past

Initially titled Predicting the Past: Experiments in Reverse-Prescience, in its early digital version, the catalog tells about how Shimmel Zohar was born in Zhidik, Lithuania, in 1822, and arrived in New York in 1857, and eventually established a photographic studio on two floors of 432 Pearl Street, on the Lower East Side, a neighborhood teeming with Jewish immigrants. About how he enjoyed some success but then suddenly abandoned his studio and hit the road, becoming an itinerant photographer touring America, perhaps in search of Flora, his former showgirl paramour — and, who knows, maybe even the roller-skate girl —, planning to return to New York within a year but then simply vanishing, never to be heard from again. All true, apparently, except for the photos. In short, after a series of failed searches for Zohar’s material, Berkman had to give up and restage all his tableaus, “as a sort of tribute to Zohar Studios”, by following the Yiddish directions found in a notebook. It all began in the late ’90s, when Berkam and his wife Jeanine were visiting the Chelsea Flea Market, in New York, and came upon an ancient, dog-eared scrapbook, which they bought for $60. Suddenly, arrested by one photo in those pages, a sort of theatrical cabinet card with a “loopily melodramatic image on the front,” Berkman started wondering where it might have come from — there was no credit on the back. Then, he found the notebook — “a big, thick ledger sort of thing, which consisted of a handwritten diary” — in the false bottom of a battered old Zohar’s trunk bought at the Elli Buk’s antiques emporium, down on Spring Street, in Soho. The notebook was lost after the death of the man in charge of translating it from Yiddish, Feivel Finkel, an old friend of Berkman. But, fortunately, Feivel had described the tableaus… “So yeah,” Berkman said, “technically, the photos are actually mine. But we really don’t need to make a big thing out of that. As I say, I myself don’t want to get in the way.”

LEAH SCHRAGER

About

Leah Schrager is a digital artist and online performer. She is the model, photographer, artist, and marketer in/of her images. Her visual works apply a painterly aesthetic to bodily forms and often draw their material from her conceptual online performance practice. These include @OnaArtist (Instagram 5M), Sarah White (The Naked Therapist), and An American Dream (as herself). With these performances, Schrager situates her work in a contemporary hotbed of female (in)appropriateness, arousal, celebrity, fandom, and commercialism. She seeks to explore female biography and labor in today’s global society. 

Schrager has been compared by journalists and critics to such seminal figures as Marina Abramovic, Marcel Duchamp, Laurel Nakadate, Diane Fossey, and Sigmund Freud. She and/or her work has been profiled in 1000′s of media outlets, including Art Forum, Monopol, The Huffington Post, Vice, Viceland, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, CBS News, ABC News, The NY Daily News, and Playboy. She has exhibited with Johannes Vogt Gallery, Castor Gallery, Roman Fine Art, and others; her work has been on view in notable museums such as Fotografiska, Museum of Sex, and the Museum of Visual Art in Leipzig; and her pieces and performances have been purchased by collectors world-wide.

Longer Bio

Schrager grew up in a small NW US town where she found dance and theater. She continued studying dance at the University of Washington and performed in works by Martha Graham, Jose Limon, Zvi Gotheiner, amongst others. In the NW and NYC she danced in downtown and uptown productions, choreographed for theater, and performed in others’ performance art works at On the Boards, NY Live Arts, Henry Art Gallery, and more. Shortly after moving to NYC she started moving into photographyand visual art. She found herself in the unexpected situation of, whilst being the model and instagator of a photoshoot, she did not own the images of her modeling or dance and often could not get ull resolution versions from the photographers. This led to “My Modeling Portfolio” (2011), Schrager’s attempt to own her image as a female model, wherein she took her entire modeling portfolio (shot from 2001-2011) and created “derivative” works that she could “own.”

In 2010 she founded Naked Therapy as Sarah White. In 2011, Naked Therapy unexpectedly went viral and was covered in the NY Daily, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, CBS, NBC, The Huffington Post, and many more news outlets. In 2012 she submitted artwork to the Chelsea West Artists Open Studios as Sarah White – The Naked Therapist. She was at first accepted, but after submitting her profile image, she was blackballed from the festival said that her image was an “ad” and not “art” and that she was a “commercial entity” and not an “artist.” This event opened her eyes to the prejudice in the art world against women who use the provocative (and potentially commercial) body performatively.

She returned to school to get her MFA in Fine Art in 2013. She explored multimedia works using her image as base (“appropriating her own image”), explored conceptual work including “The Google Project,” and co-curated “Body Anxiety” which was featured in Artforum.

In 2015 she started ONA as a celebrity-as-art-practice project, ONA. Her provocative performances, admitted engagement in online sex work, and unique status as an artist with a pro-sex approach puts her work on exciting and contemporary terrain. Current work is viewable under “Visual Work” in the menu above.

Its Just a Phase

Projects

Phoems

Becoming a celebrity is a complex process which is given little credit, as New York-based artist Leah Schrager will attest. The processes of building up a cultural empire from scratch is a full time job; there’s no rest for the fame-seeker. Back in 2015, Schrager created her alter-ego Ona as part of her five-year Celebrity Project, which is a “social, aesthetic and emotional journey” through the throngs of fame and fandom. Ona, a shortened term for “online persona”, is now a burgeoning Instagram star with almost 400,000 followers and is a strong advocate for sex, pornography and social media as a mode of self-expression. Created by Schrager as a way of blurring the boundaries that separate art and celebrity, Ona is her attempt at fighting against what she calls the “puritanical” prejudice of the creative world which chastises women for using their body as exploration of gender and eroticism. This ‘DIY celebrity’ unravels the dualistic male-gaze argument and poses the question: why can’t a female be both sexualised and liberated? 

Schrager created a musician, an artist and a model through Ona and set herself three main goals to achieve by 2020: get a photograph of her ass on the cover of Rolling Stone, hit one million downloads for her music, and pull in ten million followers on Instagram. The manufacturing of celebrity is something that has become more transparent in a post-Kardashian era as we can now see the building blocks of money, power and notoriety at every turn. When the concept of fame itself was once so deeply entrenched in a feeling of superiority and transcendence, it has almost shrunk to a level that even the ‘everyday’ person can become a household name if they put their all into it. Schrager cleverly refers to personal social media growth as “micro-celebrity creation”, because who feels alive if they’re not getting likes? What sets her apart from other artists, however, is an unashamed desire to live the life of an A-lister. Rather than rip the public to shreds for their obsession with celebrity culture and criticise the mainstream, Schrager is pushing back against “elite” artists who create fake personas to undermine the masses because she’s hoping to become a global star herself.

As a self-professed fourth-wave feminist, which she refers to as a gendered performer enabled by the internet, Schrager uses online platforms to continue her catalogue of work which has typically used nudity and sex to examine subjectivity. This latest undertaking is an evolution of her previous work as Sarah White – The Naked Therapist, and it’s as revolutionary as it is controversial. Schrager makes no excuses for the male-orientated world of erotica in which she has created for herself: in fact, she embraces it. @OnaArtist started to garner much more cyber attraction when she became more overtly sexualised, which is no surprise, but the artist does not oppose voyeuristic fascination. As a pro-sex, pro-body “self-made model”, Schrager is a supporter of porn and believes that if you want to fuck men and be a sexual object, you should just do it. Here we chat to her about celebrity obsession, Insta-feminism and the restrictive male gaze/female authority dichotomy.  

Tell us about The Celebrity Project. How did the premise come about? What are you trying to say by becoming Ona?

Leah Schrager: The idea came to me in the last semester of my MFA program when professors (and some students) kept saying that the images of myself that I was placing in my art were too sexy to be art. But when I looked around, I saw a few things. First, there was plenty of "sexy’ in the art world – it was just women presented by what I call "man hands’ (images by male photographers or works that appropriate the images of models or celebrities). Second, I saw hypocrisy because so many art world people seem to love mainstream (industry-sanctioned) celebrities and they incessantly listened to their music and watched their movies. Finally, I felt there was a kind of puritanical art world prejudice against women using their bodies in a sexy way in their art. So I decided to eschew appropriation, fight the hypocrisy, and subvert puritanism by creating a DIY sexy celebrity as an art practice, or what I recently called in Rhizome “a self-made supermodel”.

Social media, particularly Instagram, has been central to this project. I’m really fascinated with online interaction and the dynamics of fandom. Inevitably, I think anyone trying to grow a social media account is engaged in their own celebrity project, so I view what I’m doing to be a kind of metaphor for the general trend toward a universal adoption of the practice of micro-celebrity creation. It's an evolving question – what does it mean to make a celebrity as an art practice? So far it includes being fully in charge of manufacturing all elements of Ona’s artistry, marketing and imagery, and documenting my experience as a kind of social, aesthetic and emotional adventure.

What has the reaction been by online users? Do they know that you are an artist? 

Leah Schrager: I have had great reactions from male fans and have been surprisingly welcomed into the Instagram modelling world. Many of my fans tell me I’m an awesome artist just based on the photos I put on my @OnaArtist IG, which now has over 400,000 followers. I also share my music and videos and sometimes my visual art there as well. Some of my followers know I’m also an ‘artist’ and some don’t – it depends on their interest. All they have to do is look a little deeper, but some don’t care too. But in the end, my IG aesthetic actually isn't mainstream-celebrity or Instagram-standard. I’m quite influenced by Cindy Sherman, and my photos come from hundreds of different locations and my goal is to explore different looks (as opposed to pushing a single image brand). 

How did you build up your following from zero to 400K? Was there a moment it began to snowball? When did it start to gain more momentum?

Leah Schrager: I paid close attention to what other Instagram models were doing to learn the ropes and in a year (from April 2015 to April 2016) gained almost that entire 400K! (I recently wrote an essay for Rhizome that describes this process and the world of IG models in depth.) The turning point for me was when I paid for one of my photos to be on @the.buttblog in April 2015. Since I was ‘new in town’ that led to a bunch of my pics being posted on numerous big Instagram collection pages and followers began flowing in. Then I did a lot of SFS (‘spam-for-spam’), which in its most powerful form (for me) is that I post a photo of myself and ask my followers to check out a collection page, and that collection page posts a photo of me and asks their followers to follow me. This is a free/trade exchange, but it takes work to arrange and navigate.

My @OnaArtist Instagram is highly curated to be likable while staying creative and sometimes being racy. I was very engaged with the platform and focused on making novel content. In fact, I like to think I popularised the meta-selfie (photo of the model taking a selfie) and some unique butt-selfie angles.

As part of my celebrity project, I’ve actually recently shifted my focus away from growing my IG, as I realised I faced a ceiling within it (I lack impressive cleavage or an ability to spend lots of money to promote myself) and without it (it still does not substitute for the mainstream covering your music). Recently I’ve been focusing on making music videos for my band and producing my first album, Lullabies for Daddy. I’ve also recently started a new IG page, @OnaMania, which is more like a SFW-celebrity profile and has 4K followers (so it's gained more followers in a month than my @LeahSchrager profile has in two years!)

How have you gone about actually building your celebrity persona – can you tell us more about the photo shoots/clothes/cost etc?

Leah Schrager: I do an eight-to-ten day trip every two months to generate new content. I’m from the country and I love travelling around rural America, so many of my trips are there. Given my content, it’s hard to know I live in NYC! I see my aesthetic (and reality) as the American Dream – working girl moves to the big city and tries to make something happen for herself. And this ties in with my musical style of ‘bedroom rock’ / ‘sexy rock’n’roll’.

The project – and my aesthetic overall – is very populist and DIY. I don't have a background of modelling agency support or socialite it-girl cred. That’s one thing I learned paying close attention to Instagram – a celebrity will gain status by posting pics of an expensive-looking vacation, an agency model by hanging out at the right parties and shooting with the right photographer. But gaining status as an Instagram model happens through showing your body in an appealing way, and they are the DIY models of our time. So I’m trying to make my own route... and we’ll see where it goes.

Are you mocking society’s obsession with “celebrity’?

Leah Schrager: Not at all. I totally get the desire for celebrity and the love of celebrities. Rather, I’m just trying to create a real-world celebrity to try to discover what it takes, to learn about it, to document the experience, to see what it does within my art practice. I will admit, however, that sometimes in my mind I call it The Anti-Celebrity Project, mostly because I’m doing so many things that no one who’s actually become a celebrity would ever do. Like, I have a naked pay site, and I’m all over the place with my image, and I do everything myself. So perhaps a better name for it is The DIY Celebrity Project. 

One really interesting thing that I’ve discovered is that mainstream celebrity is largely driven by female fandom. For instance, just take a look at the profiles of the ‘likers’ on @kimkardashian, @beyonce, @lanadelrey, @selenagomez, etc. They are mostly females. But what about male fandom, and what about the females who like to perform for males? They are pretty much not covered in mainstream media, and are relegated to porn. So our current idea of celebrity is really only one side of what celebrity could be if our mainstream media outlets weren’t so obsessed with keeping everything within the narrow confines of what everyone can agree is ‘safe-for-work’. 

How do your ideas and concepts tie into feminism and body image?

Leah Schrager: I’m into fourth-wave feminism (the kind of female performance enabled by the internet) and pro-sex feminism (the kind that believes that engaging in ‘porn’ is cool and that sexuality is a positive thing). I’m also pro-all bodies. I don’t believe that any type of body should be censored. But I am also against the idea that the produced presentation of women’s bodies that are thin or fit or ‘pleasing to the male gaze’ are somehow damaging to women overall. If you’re really going to be pro-all bodies, then you need to go all the way and support whatever kind of body wants to show itself, even if some of those bodies are considered by some people to be ‘ideal’. 

Are you an advocate of social media for self-expression or are you critical of it? 

Leah Schrager: While I am somewhat critical of the puritanism of many of the platforms, I am overall very positive about social media as a force for self-expression. Like anything, it has its pluses and minuses, but what it has enabled in the world is incredible.

In what ways are you interested in blurring the lines between creating a celebrity and actually being a celebrity?

Leah Schrager: In my practice, I’ve found that my personal biography is basically forced into the reading of my art (as often happens with female performative bodies), and I’ve chosen to embrace that. I’ve seen artists fabricate or fake a celebrity, but that’s not interesting to me. Because I’ve almost always been a performer in my work, I feel I actually need to try to be a celebrity in order to create work on and about one. So it's not a case of ‘elite New York artist makes fun of the dreams of the masses’. I actually am not into that vibe at all, as it’s quite the opposite. I’ve always had a real folkloric, humanist take in my work, and so living it (while not always easy) is how I’ve practised my art. From the start of my @OnaArtist Instagram I’ve had some family, friends, and art-world figures be negative, insulting, and/or slut-shaming to my engaging in the Instagram aesthetic.

Have you chosen to sexualise your Ona persona? Are you challenging the male gaze or upholding it? 

Leah Schrager: Ona is very sexual for several reasons. First, I like sex and I think discussions on and expressions of it should be supported. Second, being sexual has worked for me. It was when I started to push the sexualisation of Ona that I started becoming a bit of an Instagram celebrity. Finally, I’m interested in pushing the envelope when it comes to how sexual a celebrity can be. Of course, I’m very aware that a lot of people look at what I do and discount it because I’m making work that seems to ‘pander’ to the male gaze, which apparently means you can’t be an artist or make art. But in all honesty, I find the discussion around the male gaze to be overly simplistic. If a heterosexual woman presents an image of herself that happens to garner a large number of male likes, it’s assumed by some that she is somehow alienated from her true self, that she has lost agency, that she has objectified herself, is behaving like a puppet. This seems absurd and even cruel to me. 

The question of the male gaze is complicated. The idea that there is a ‘world of freedom’ beyond the male gaze that heterosexual women can live in is absurd. We are sexual beings and we behave and perform for our sexual other. Being obsessed with being free from the expectations of the thing you sexually desire seems like a pretty miserable way to live to me. Maybe what you’re doing as a woman feels like you’re just totally free of what men might want you to be doing, but if you’re interested in men then whatever you’re doing is partly geared toward being attractive to them. It’s called sexual selection, and there’s nothing wrong with it.

How is The Celebrity Project an extension of your previous work?

Leah Schrager: Ona carries on the pro-sex and pro-virtual touch message of Sarah White – The Naked Therapist and the pro-self ownership of my visual work. Also, Sarah White was my first foray into mini-celebrity, but since it’s based in therapy, which has an ethic of confidentiality, I didn't feel comfortable using a lot of the material in my art. So the idea is that this project is public from the beginning so any of the material can be used in my art. One of my favourite recent pieces is ‘50 Favourite Comments From Fans’ where I screengrab an Instagram post and highlight my favourite comment and then part of the sale of the work goes to the commenter. This makes the work collaborative, which I like.

What was your motivation in creating Sarah White – The Naked Therapist?

Leah Schrager: I thought it made sense for nakedness to be in therapy, and nakedness related to a lot of the performance art I was studying. So I just tried it and it took off. Overall I’d say that Sarah White started me on a path of social practice art that continues to this day. I fully embrace the mostly male world I perform and make my celebrity art for, and I find my interactions with my fans to be very informative and satisfying. The stark split between the images men look at to be aroused and the images they look at to be aesthetically intrigued seems really backwards to me. I’m interested in bridging these two worlds through my work and seeing what happens when they coalesce.
