A Walk into the Sea: Danny Williams and The Warhol Factory is director Esther Robinson's personal inquiry into the truth behind her Uncle Danny Williams' mysterious 1966 disappearance. Virtually unknown today, Danny was Andy Warhol's lover, and a promising young filmmaker. The discovery of 20 never-before-seen films William's made during his time at the Factory-- and whose many subjects include Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick, Paul Morrissey, Brigid Berlin, Billy Name and what may be the earliest known footage of the Velvet Underground reveals a luminous talent and a stark gap in the historical record. Combined with Robinson's intimate interviews of surviving Factory members, the film gets beyond the icons and quietly dismantles the Warhol myth-making machine, allowing a deeper examination of the human fragility on which Andy Warhol's empire was built.

Miss J. is making this show lately....

Miss J. is making this show lately. From her Esther Williams flipper ensemble to her Fashion Police Witch to her sweet little schoolgirl cornrows, she's a burst of fresh air among all these young things who take themselves so damn seriously and forget that fashion is fun. Thank god Cassandra took her last remaining inches of hair so seriously; we can be done with her, and she can go home to put in hair extensions and become Miss USA — her words, not mine. Fashion is also about transforming yourself constantly, Cassie; otherwise, we might as well wear uniforms. Meanwhile, Miss J. astutely notes that "Sarah is one big huge ball of confusion," and in more ways than one. After two makeout sessions with Kim, a quarter of the way through the show we finally find out that she has a boyfriend back home. And Kim laments that she knows straight girls "like the back of my hand." Love that Bre thinks Kim should stick to getting girls ins read more
