Fearful Symmetry

Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Victorian Christmas Magic

I have to rant about this for alot of reasons.

My boyfriend laurence found this amazing event at Wilmore Hall in london where they were having a victorian christmas show called.. Vintage Christmas.

We didnt know what to expect but after treking through the snow we made it to the old victorian theatre.. and it was so beautiful. Wooden chairs.. simple set up and amazing actors all performed small pieces of dickens/ shakespere etc to form a beautiful variety of christmas history. I sat back...

and i looked around.. the victorian magic onstage, the warm atmosphere and at the beautiful man sat beside me. I felt very humble, and moved. I could have welled up.

To have had such a magic year.. and to have met such an amazing guy. I just have no words for how i feel for that man. For someone with a mind that is sharp, and with brown eyes that make me forget the entire world.

To him i say thank you.. for the past 9 months together.. for that magic xmas before i left for ireland to see my family and for being a dream come true.

And for having the patience to see me through a busy year and even when im tired and sensitive.

im very lucky.

So much in my life has worked out.. and i want to enjoy every part of it. One day i wont have such harmony and ill want to remember this. So for now.

Merry christmas x

Christmas Karen

I know i ask perfection of a quite imperfect world.
And fool enough to think that's what ill find

Its a hard day.

Seems everyone wants something for free. I love art, i love my work and i love making it all. But as magical as my luck can be... i am not a mystic with the ability to create money from air and hope from nothing.

Its all good... just a hard 3 weeks of alot of work and this is my stretching/exhausted point where a younger me would stick my heels into the ground and want to stop and stamp my feet or not see it through.

But i wont do that... ill type it down and think about it for an hour one morning. But then ill go make some coffee and realise i have to get back on it because it wont get done unless it comes from me. We have achieved so much, more than my imagination could have possibly thought up in less than a year. And im just worn. I need a break.

Everytime i feel like that i listen to the carpenters.

cursed to live

i was born to die.

Thats what i think

Sometimes i think, things are overwhelming. Sometimes i think i dont know what to do. but i forget the world and everything around me, that's what i think when i think about you.

ME by RANKIN

WHAT I THINK.

i never understood just surviving. I always thought the point of living was to do the thing that scared you most. The thing you dont want to face is the thing you should do. If it seems impossible then its the thing you should do. Thats just what i what i always thought. If you arent going to push yourself, then why wo...uld you bother. It just made more sense that way. It still does.

Judges Comments

'stylized, sexy and beautifully shot'

'profoundly questioning of why we seek what we know is bad and then go back for more.'

Void-of-course presents: 'Romance of Violence' from chris sutton on Vimeo.

We only just begin to live with white lace and promises. Our thoughts are songs of romance and idealism. We are in a cocoon of daydreams. Until we meet our first lovers. Each experience, one by one they bruise and darken and feed the chrysalis we are growing in. Until one day we emerge. The white lace is gone. All remains is dark leather and a sadistic view of how love is. A lonely moth to a flame of abuse and self denial. If it hurts at least you care still feeling something. He hit me and it felt like a kiss.

La JohnJoseph's Underclass Hero

His very kind comments
" The unstoppable Chris Sutton not only stage managed the whole thing beautifully, installed the set and pinned on the button holes, but also photographed the whole thing too!"

&

"Images from the show by the one man creative industry that is Christopher Auf Der Sutton"

too kind.. It was such a fun night, and i always wanted to have friends who inspire me.

REVIEW OF UNDERCLASS HERO...

Here's the first review from the debut performance of my new hit show "Underclass Hero", from the esteemed cultural junkyard that is Loserville.

"LV was feeling pretty thirsty at this point, so we chugged down more of the good stuff and then made ourselves comfortable for the arrival of Liverpool’s own La JohnJoseph, whose Underclass Hero began with our transdrogynous (I can’t take credit for this word) titular starlet channelling Tina Turner from a table in the front row. Let it be said here and now that we just don’t hear “We Don’t Need Another Hero” anywhere near enough these days – any song that manages to squeeze in the lyric “all we want is life beyond the thunderdome” deserves undying admiration.

An hour later, as La JJ (ably supported throughout by The Desperate Housewives on keyboard and guitar) finished things off with a rousing rendition of Bowie’s “Heroes”, LV reflected on what had been a roller-coaster ride of emotions – there had been laughs, there had been quiet reflection, there had been an amusing segment where La JJ addressed the audience from the toilets. The rabble at the back, who chatted throughout, may not have noticed, but the RVT had just played host to a quite beautiful cabaret-monologue which not only erased the memory of Lembit Opik’s grinning mug, but also thoroughly distracted LV from the lure of the bar – this achievement can not be overstated!"

4* Review London

Tonight

I had such a nice surprise.

Gillian Anderson came to see my show, and stayed and chatted after. This is special. She ( the woman not the fame) has always been someone i really admired and had the most respect for. We have met many times and each time it has been at a very pivotal moment in my life and her advice has come at the right time. Many years have past, her support that i go to drama school meant so much. Her words a year ago telling me to grit my teeth and keep going meant even more to me as i was having a very hard time in london.

And tonight, nearly a year exactly to the day since i used my last 20 quid to get a ticket to see her perform in Ibsen's 'A Doll's House' she came, and sat in the audience in my play.

There are really no words for the moment when someone you look up to, gives you that support. Im very happy, and its a dream come true to be quite honest. To have her come back stage and talk to me and to spend that time talking to the person i used to idolise so much as a young man.. to now be a lady i can speak with about performing and as a real person.

well there are no words for that.

and in my personal life, this week has been hard.

but a line from ' A Dolls House' always stuck in my mind '

"I have another duty equally sacred...My duty to myself." -Nora Helmer, Act III

and its with that in mind, that i move forward. Im working hard, and people are noticing that. I will move forward.

And to Gillian. Thank you, your support tonight and kindness you always show me means the world to me.

With that in mind.

Im heading to bed to read and relax, and to put the personal heart ache im assuming i will face tomorrow behind me.
