a punk nightmare in NY
DATE: Oct 8, 2009 PHOTOGRAPHER: Albertine
FEATURING: Manko & Vivid
MANKO SAYS: “On a fabulously wasted date in the legendary Hotel Chelsea in New York, my gorgeous little punkette Vivid and I are carelessly playing out the greatest love affair of punk rock history. Take a Cheap Holiday In Other People's Misery, a violent love story and a murder mystery!...
On October 12th 1978 Nancy Spungen, the girlfriend of the punk icon Sid Vicious, was found dead in the room 100.
Did Sid kill Nancy? Eh, who cares, darling, Vive le Punk!”
VIVID SAYS: “Those tiles are stained still... and under the sink is carved "Manko + Vivid". A little ghost remind of us hidden, but present, always. Will you go there? Could you find it? Like little puzzle pieces of a punk past.
While we curled up in the room, a door swung open on us, without a visible hand. I like to think it was Nancy, stopping in to say "oi"
Punk's not dead.”
“ Throwback to the glamorous Pin-Up days, the models are beautifully imperfect, artistically benet emo, goth, and punk rockers. ”
