"Faerie Tale Theatre" Posthumous Reunion: The Stars' Final Resting Places

Some people might think I'm obsessed with death. A minor hobby of mine is to research celebrities' final resting places, via the website Find a Grave and the YouTube channel Hollywood Graveyard. And I like perusing themed guides to famous graves. For example, Hollywood Graveyard's videos themed to Christmas, Halloween, the cast and crew of The Wizard of Oz, cast and crew members of The Twilight Zone, etc., or Find A Grave's "Posthumous Reunion" pages for famous movie and TV show casts, sports teams, etc.

I decided to create a similar guide for the cast of Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre. Sadly, all too many stars of that cult classic series are no longer with us. Here's a guide (with links to Find a Grave pages) to the various places where those stars are buried, in case anyone here might like to visit a few someday.

[glass--beach]

just wanted to say that i saw you play at a bar for free in Culver City back in 2019 and it's still one of my favorite concert nights i've ever had. i'm so excited to be in the audience with this album--thank you for the art, may we all live and live well 💙🤍💗

whoa!! that’s a while ago! i think i know the specific show! thank you so much! <3

[captainderyn]

Get To Know Me

Tagged by @tiredassmage, @elveny, and @anchanted-one thank you <3

--

Share Your Wallpaper:

My current laptop background is the art of Ryn I commissioned from @sbeep

And my current phone lock screen is this really cool piece of the Normandy:

I won't share my home screen but its a picture of my partner and one of our cats <3

Last Song Listened To: It was either Bite Me by Avril Lavigne or Tantrum by Charlotte Sands, can't remember lol.

Last Movie: I thiiink it was John Wick 3? We've been watching the John Wick movies after my partner learned I'd never seen them.

Craving: More sleep. I don't need more sleep but I really want more sleep. Also been really wanting some pickles/salty stuff the last few days.

What are you wearing rn? PJs/lounge clothes still! Flannel pj pants, black sweatshirt, and fluffy white blanket.

How tall are you? 5'6!

Piercings: I have my ears pierced, which only happened over the summer lol. I'd love to maybe get another piercing in each ear but don't feel inclined enough to go do it yet.

Tattoos: I have one! It's on my inner left bicep and its Mt Washington/the presidential range of the White Mountains with the Orion constellation above the peak. It's got some personal meaning to it but also just liked the way it looked. In theory I want at least one more tattoo, I want to shards of Narsil somewhere on my body but I can't decide where (Well, it makes most sense in my brain to get it on my inner forearm but I don't know if I want it there).

Glasses/contacts: Neither!

Last Drink: Technically water but I'm going to go make myself some earl grey tea with a splash of coffee (its really good, saw it on MorganDrinksCoffee's youtube channel).

Last Show: Uhh...I think it was an episode of The Circle on Netflix over dinner Sunday night because it was a stressful weekend and we just needed something super chill and ridiculous to watch.

Last thing you ate: I got dinner at Culvers last night because I wanted a salted caramel milkshake lol. And their cheese curds (Thank you midwest/south for introducing me to Culvers)

Favorite Color: Kinda swings around between a deep plum purple and a burgundy color.

Current Obsession: Still teetering on the obsession edge of Cyberpunk 2077, though its not got as much of a choke hold on me as it has the last like...two months. Elden Ring is lurking in the background menacingly.

Unrelated Obsession: The Exiled Fleet series by JS Dewes has taken root once again because her new book Rubicon comes out today. So I've been consuming a lot of recorded interviews/con panels/ect in anticipation.

Any Pets: In this household: one menace tuxedo cat pulled from a dumpster in Texas (Blasto) and my poor cinnamon roll of an orange maine coon mix (Atlas).

Honorary mention is Zeke, the 120lbs golden german shepard mix that was a stray down here last summer and I fell in absolute love with but couldn't feasibly adopt, who now lives with my parents up in New England lol.

Do you have a crush on anyone? My partner :P Also fictional characters/OCs

Favorite Fictional Character: HMM way too many to count tbh. Aragorn is probably the longest running fictional character because hooo boy. Can I say female V from Cyberpunk? I think the voice acting for her was done phenomenally. But if I had to choose from not toeing the OC line, probably Adequin Rake from the Last Watch (Js Dewes).

Last Place Traveled: Not counting the city for work or like...~moving~ out here probably to the other side of Kentucky to visit in-laws before I moved out of state. Or maybe back home to NH over the summer? Depends on technicalities of "travel" lol.

Tagging: @greyias annnd....anyone else who sees this and is inclined to do it!

Amazon Driver Pilfers Check: Video Shows

We're used to seeing porch pirates steal packages on videos, but it's usually not your Amazon driver who does the stealing. But now, a family says an Amazon driver stole a check from their porch after making a delivery. The family says he put the check in the bank and got cash from an ATM. All of it was caught on video by their doorbell camera. The family says the check was left on the door for a family member's employee to pick up. Based on the video, the man filled out some delivery information on his phone while standing on the porch. He then kicks an envelope off the porch again before picking it up off the ground and running down the road. They told Amazon about the driver and are still waiting to fill out a police report until they hear more from Amazon. The driver came to deliver her son a $10 box of crayons, but he left with a nice check. Shina said she got the money back and gave it to her helper, which is good. Read more.

Closing on 12/14/19 is Kenny Scharf’s current exhibition at Honor Fraser, Optimistically Melting!. The exhibition includes multiple installations, paintings, and sculptures- including new ceramic work.

From the press release-

After four decades of constant production, Scharf’s latest group of paintings introduces a new subject: the still life. The trope of flowers in a vase appears throughout Western art, notably in the work of artists such as Jan Brueghel the Elder, Vincent Van Gogh, and Andy Warhol. In Flores Flores Flores (2019), happy flowers spring from a vase casually set on a table at the center. Closer inspection finds a less happy flower at the edge of the table with X’s over its eyes, a cartoon signifier of death. Further, the viewer notices the drips of darkness in the background, adding to a growing sense of unease in the work, something sinister lurks behind the pleasant centerpiece. These signifiers of global anxiety become more overt in the artist’s Sloppy Melt series of paintings, also to be included in the exhibition, which feature dripping cartoon figures and screen-printed news headlines in English and Korean about climate change. With clear memories of smog days as a child growing up in Southern California, environmental concerns have appeared throughout Scharf’s oeuvre. The artist believes it is important to be mindful of future damage we will cause to the environment if we continue to prioritize comfort and ease in the present.

In the 80s, Kenny Scharf began collecting plastic detritus that he found along the beach in Brazil, where he was living at the time. The artist would assemble these discarded items into sculptures for the wall, giving them new life as aesthetic objects called Lixos (“trash” in Portuguese). Though the sculptural practice has continued intermittently, Scharf made a habit of collecting discarded plastics from around the world, which have not degraded over the years. More recently, the artist began collecting all of his single-use plastics and stringing them together as a garland around his studio, a constant reminder of daily waste. In light of the current reckoning with the overproduction of plastics and climate change denial, Scharf will present a new body of Lixos in the gallery along with a giant garland wrapped around the outside of the building. Materials for the garland will be collected at Honor Fraser Gallery throughout the summer and leading up to the exhibition. In addition to creating a personal alternative to recycling methods that require more toxic chemicals, Scharf aims to shine more light on this urgent issue. As in his paintings, deep concerns about our future lie beneath these brightly colored works.

Expanding his sculptural practice, Kenny Scharf will unveil a group of large ceramics featuring his signature characters in the round. Produced in collaboration with Stan Edmondson in Pasadena, these works were fired locally and hand-glazed by the artist. Bordering on living sculpture, the pots will contain greenery to be nurtured beyond the term of the exhibition, a gesture of possibility and hope rom the artist. In addition to converting carbon dioxide into oxygen, caring for plants has proven to be a beneficial practice for humans as it requires patience, reduces stress, and promotes close observation. These plants grown by the artist himself contain Scharf’s intention for a more respectful and conscientious future.

In coordination with the 8th Annual Conference of the Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics of the Association for Computing Machinery, there is an exhibition of high technology art at City Hall in Dallas, Texas from August 3 to August 28, 1981. The exhibition will be open to the public from 9 to 5, Monday through Friday. A wide variety of styles, techniques, media and equipment are represented in this show. Styles include formalism, expressionism, impressionism, photo-realism, constructivism, synthetic-realism and more. Subject matter includes planets, landscapes, figures, mathematical representation, as well as intellectual and intuitive abstractions. The product of these artists has taken many forms, including sculpture, painting, printmaking, drawing, ceramics, photography and filmmaking. The equipment used by these artists includes main-frame, mini and micro computers, pen and ink-jet printers and plotters, digitizers, numerically controlled tools, electro­static recorders, etc. and represents the most sophisticated computer graphics technology. The common ground upon which these artists stand, the thread which ties this show together, is the shared utilization of high technology. The interdependence of art and science has been fundamental to the development of this computer graphics technology and the realization of the art in this show. The collaboration between art and technology seen in this show represents a continuing cross-fertilization process which results in innovative concepts of the world around us.

Olsens All Business in Move From Show Biz to Global Brand

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are trading their past as child actors for a future as businesswomen, building a global lifestyle and entertainment firm. Written by Khanh T.L. Tran (WWD, June 2005)

LOS ANGELES — Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are trading their past as beloved child actors for a future as global businesswomen. The 19-year-old twins are taking control of their company, Dualstar Entertainment Group, and finessing their focus on fashion, home, beauty, brand management and entertainment. In addition to emerging celebrity rivals, they face the challenge of trying to entice an older, more sophisticated consumer who has outgrown tween sizes and lost interest in entertainment starring the sisters. “We’re getting older,” Mary-Kate told WWD in an exclusive interview. “We have more things to say. We want more things to accomplish in our company.”

Last January, the Olsens acquired full ownership of Dualstar and became co-presidents. Even as they take art and French classes in their second year at New York University, the Olsens are more hands-on than ever at the Culver City, Calif.-based company. In separate interviews with WWD, the Olsens discussed their vision for Dualstar. In 2003, Dualstar scrapped a junior line marketed under the mary-kateandashley label after two seasons because of lackluster sales at 500 Wal-Mart stores. “It wasn’t something we were able to grab,” Mary-Kate said. “Wal-Mart doesn’t know that [teen] customer yet.” So the Olsens are taking charge. In late August, as other college students prepared to start the new semester, the sisters sat at a conference table in Bentonville poring over spreadsheets that detailed sell-throughs, markdowns, gross margins and sales by color grouping for their mary-kateandashley brand. Along with representatives of their company and licensing agency, the Olsens faced planners, buyers and merchandising managers for accessories, sleepwear and other divisions at Wal-Mart, which sells the Olsens’ clothing line exclusively in the U.S. and Canada. The 35-person meeting was the culmination of a two-day visit to Wal-Mart’s headquarters. Wal-Mart executives were initially unsure why the twins wanted to attend the annual business review, Reichenberger recalled. Ashley said the sisters’ last trip to Bentonville had been in 2002 for Wal-Mart’s annual shareholders meeting. The goal this time was to assess the state of the business. “It’s obviously important for them to know we’re 100 percent behind it,” Ashley said. “It was really nice to hear their concerns and also for me to be able to come back and say, ‘You should trust us sometimes.'” More business review meetings between Wal-Mart executives and the Olsens are in the works. “We are serious,” Mary-Kate said. Dualstar has eliminated projects that didn’t align with its renewed focus on fashion and style. It stopped making new videos, DVDs and books centering on the Olsens. Since January, the company has hired four new employees, including a brand manager, and plans to recruit more designers. Designer Sam Ciardi, 35, was promoted to executive design director, replacing Judy Swartz, the former chief designer who left in June to pursue her own fashion line. Swartz couldn’t be reached for comment. “We’ve really been narrowing down the company and doing things we want to do,” Ashley said. Mary-Kate added: “At the end of the day, it’s our face and name on it.” Dualstar also hired a new coordinator for research and testing for the incubator. “Mary-Kate and Ashley personally have ideas that they would like to explore in fashion, home and beauty,” Reichenberger said. While Reichenberger reviews the incubator’s progress with the Olsens weekly, Mary-Kate and Ashley work on it daily. “It was really great to start getting something done that we always wanted to do,” Ashley said. And the Olsens are definitely interested in fashion. The mishmash outfits they wear to class and about town have generated a new fashion trend among college-age women. Mary-Kate sat in the front row last month at the Calvin Klein fashion show in New York, while Ashley interned at Zac Posen last year.
