I hope everyone is enjoying the last half of summer, finding some rest, some adventure, and some fresh air. A reminder that there is still registration available for my workshop day on Sunday, August 27th apologies for my very confusing typos last newsletter. Find the details here. I hope to see you there! I read an interesting interview with the special effects artists for the film detailing the process of designing the organs, though the artist who did the tattooing for them is credited only as Sophia from Greece.
ISO: My Body is a reader-supported publication. Becoming a paid subscriber helps me continue to write and research on a regular basis! This star-studded film brings us the joy of Lisa Bonet as a biker queen in full riding leathers, and Laurence Fishburne as the undefeated racing champion whose title is threatened by the determined Kid.
The fashions here are flawless: smoked-lens sunglasses, black leather cowboy hats, jeweled bolo ties. Kid learns that his love interest, Tina, is a tattoo artist hot when he spies her peeling off a bandage at a party to get a look a piece she just did.
He shows up at her home studio only to be told that he needs to make an appointment and sent away with a business card, though not before leaving her flowers. Soon, he comes back to get a tattoo to memorialize his father and confesses his crush on her.
If you want a moody tale about chosen family and generational redemption, amazing riding performed by real biker clubs, and peak early aughts fashion, this movie is the one.
