My favorite documentary – all time ♥ (scary good)
The most scary and sad thing I’ve seen for a long time.
Beth Thomas, once labeled “The Child Of Rage” by HBO, tells the story of her healing from Reactive Attachment Disorder in a powerful story you will never forget! Beth’s story of hope and healing will touch your life forever.
In the late 1880s, the body of a 16-year-old girl was pulled from the Seine. She was apparently a suicide, as her body showed no marks of violence, but her beauty and her enigmatic smile led a Paris pathologist to order a plaster death mask of her face.
In the romantic atmosphere of fin de siècle Europe, the girl’s face became an ideal of feminine beauty. The protagonist of Rainer Maria Rilke’s 1910 novelThe Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge writes, “The mouleur, whose shop I pass every day, has hung two plaster masks beside his door. [One is] the face of the young drowned woman, which they took a cast of in the morgue, because it was beautiful, because it smiled, because it smiled so deceptively, as if it knew.”
Ironically, in 1958 the anonymous girl’s features were used to model the first-aid mannequin Rescue Annie, on which thousands of students have practiced CPR. Though the girl’s identity remains a mystery, her face, it’s said, has become “the most kissed face of all time.”

This is how we did it:
Johnnie Baima is an American drag queen.
Baima suffered a difficult childhood, being struck by polio and severely abused as a boy. As an adult he became a drag queen and changed his name to Sandie Crisp, gaining an enormous following in the Hollywood gay and transgendered subculture.
The Goddess Bunny is both the name of his alter-ego and the name of a rare 90 minute VHS documentary about Baima.
As well as Johnnie’s following in the gay and transgender community, he has also attained some notoriety in mainstream culture by appearing in Marilyn Manson’s Dope Show music video.

I’m kind of obsessed with these videos on YouTube from user MarbleHornets, it’s sort of a Blair Witch Project viral horror tale in short episodes. Here’s the introduction and two other parts. All of the parts of Marble Hornets can be found here. The first part is uploaded in early 2009, the last part is from last week (!). I’m still watching this so I don’t know how it ends but I’m creeped out and inspired as hell!
