a RIDYKEULOUS motto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

…describe themselves thusly:<\/p>\n

Alive since ’05, Ridykeulous is the collaborative effort of Nicole Eisenman & A.L. Steiner to subvert, sabotage and overturn the language commonly used to define feminism and lesbian art. Our efforts usually involve curation, intervention, publication, performance and highly-regarded affects on happenstance.<\/em><\/p>\n

…and have published explicit sexy ‘zines, staged some brilliant outrageous super engaging lez-trans-queer nights of performance, plus a recent collective exhibition, and tonight they present a film in NYC, here is their open invitation to attend: <\/em><\/p>\n

Dear friends we’ve accepted and ignored,<\/em><\/p>\n

Ridykeulous is pleased to present the 80\u2019s classic Times Square, a film Nicky E and UnkAL starred in when they were just tweens. Instead of wasting away those precious years watching Jo swagger around the set of The Facts of Life, Nicky and Pam (Steiner\u2019s name had to be changed due to her involvement in the kidnapping of Patty Hearst) were making inroads into the world of high fashion with their garbage bag mini-dresses and rocking out on top of a marquee in Times Square.<\/em><\/p>\n

There has never been a better time to be a teenage runaway then right NOW! Pop culture is suddenly awash in all things lesbian and runaways with films like The Runaways*. Ridykeulous misses the old Times Square, but this film is perhaps one of the best documents of the beautiful pre-Applebee’s squalor.<\/em><\/p>\n

Although the film’s break-out hit single \u201cYour Daughter is One\u201d shocked our parents at the time, our highest high was quickly followed by a crushing low: nothing was more disappointing then the producers cutting out our sex scene, perhaps the hottest sex scene ever recorded on film between two Jews. Allegedly \u201cpermanently lost\u201d, the sex scene is believed to have been spotted in the dusty bowels of the Lesbian Herstory Archives. At this VERY MOMENT, a small but not unattractive cadre of private investigators in wifebeaters are working up a sweat and moaning inappropriately as they “comb the stacks” to retrieve it.<\/em><\/p>\n

As the trailer for our film stated in a gravely patriarchal voice, \u201cPam and Nicky found themselves on the streets of New York\u2026now the whole city is gonna share their exhilaration.\u201d Need more be said about this film and the trajectory of our lives? We think not.<\/em><\/p>\n

Love, Ridykeulous<\/em><\/p>\n

* it should be noted that Ridykeulous finds accepting Dakota Fanning as a “R\/runaway” a ginormous stretch, even for those amongst us with the most advanced invaginations<\/em><\/p>\n
