I'm directing this post to the individuals and institutions that support the funky collective Labelhorde. (For other readers, background is in the last two posts.)
Maybe you fund and support this group of clowns because they're "artists" and you snobby benefactors figure big, important people such as yourselves by definition dole out your cash and cachet to Art and Culture Organizations, no accountability required.
That's why Phoenix is in the pathetic cultural state it is in now. Jerome and I have written about the lack of standards in our art community ad nauseum (see our sidebar The Pride of Phoenix).
Okay, bigshot. Go look at your pet project Labelhorde right now. Witness the classiness of their big glossy website. Look how the anonymous weenies stole an image of me, in my beautiful dress that I made for myself, defaced it and posted it on their website like snot-nosed brats from grade school.
Yeah, bigshot. That's Labelhorde, another one of Phoenix's excellent cultural venues.
You know what I think I'll do? I'm going to find out exactly who's supporting these pathetic wannabe designers and shame them publicly about their poor choice. YOU ARE THE SUM OF YOUR CHOICES, bigshot. If I were you, I'd salvage my reputation and distance myself from Labelhorde right now.
You don't want people to think you are giving a pass to this kind of product from your elegant fashion collective, do you, moneybags?
[Postscript by Jerome du Bois: Angela Johnson, I must commend you for the excellent mismanagement of your discussion forum. By their fruits shall you know them. You are a weak and foolish woman.]
