On this week’s twitter roundup I checked out The Walker’s show, “The Quick and the Dead”, Vito Acconci modeled for J Crew, and it looks like blackface is in fashion again. If your looking for something to do tonight stop by the Co-Prosperity Sphere for the release party for Proximity’s latest issue.
