As part of “The New Issue,” we’ve asked a few queer cultural movers and shakers to share a list of the last five things they bought.
See what queer artist and chazzan Tobaron Waxman’s been collecting, after the jump…
Undergarments: It has become very important to me of late to have jewel colors in my pants. I find it improves my mood. Current mood: emerald.
Burt’s Bees lip balm: The need for mollification is constant, so I keep one within reach at all times.
Electric floor fan: My studio is a windowless brick cube. If you were in NY in august, you don’t need to ask why.
Ulpan textbook: I’ve been studying modern Hebrew every morning for the past two months. A lot of my recent work is about Middle Eastern conflict. I thought the work would have more integrity if I could communicate better in the modern language. People laugh at you when you ask where the bathroom is in prayerbook Hebrew.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Alpha Brainwave Sensor Interface: My current performance installation, “Block of Ice +1/60” incorporates my brainwaves and other biofeedback data into a computer interface. I thought it would be cheaper to build from scratch, but trial and error proved too costly, and someone had already perfected the device, so i took the plunge. If all goes well, this will become my ‘little black dress’.
