Terrible Ten Art Stars Virtual Names
by Andrew James Paterson
- Vita Iconic
- Yoke No
- Damn Hirstute
- Guide Millinery
- Julian Schnozzle
- Pipilotti Wrist
- Van Goth
- Pieta Mondrian
- Jackson Police
- Baronet Newsman
Every year there is one new sleazy collector who discovers that women in the art world are easy prey, and decides to hit the art fair/opening circuit in lieu of, or in addition to the international club scene.
This year Roger Evans, viagra swilling, balding, 60 something venture capitalist, is hitting the trail to hit on a woman near you. From New York to Miami (he was a paticularly active lech at miami-basel last weekend), London and California, he's on the prowl dangling his money in search of fresh meat to exploit. His long time play to establish himself in the New York party scene failed miserably despite investing in clubs owned by Amy Sacco and the efforts of longtime on/off girlfriend and connected party girl Sarita Tabarez.--- and he's been left with a sleazy reputation among those in the society/celebrity set-- Now Mr. Evans has recruited the help of art consultant Dominique Levy to hook him up with art events, and is on a tireless quest to take advantage of all the flesh the artworld can provide.
Don't let the Elmer Fudd exterior and Northern English accent fool you. This man knows how to womanise like Austin Powers in true revenge of the nerds dot com style. Wake up girlfriend... he's not going to help your career in art.
So a word to the wise... If you have a rivalry of some sort, go ahead and sic this guy on your worst enemy, but otherwise, steer clear and advise your women friends to focus on their work instead of wasting their time.

more comment spam. this exact same post appears verbatim in two other locations according to a google search of the internet. but why?
someone should point out this tactic to d*s, she could go after her broker in high style. but seriously - it's gross. Personal vendetta spam is almost worse that poker spam.
so sally, why don't you remove this posting from this site?
good question. I've removed other spam, and even the occasional rude anonymous comment - though sometimes I keep those as part of the historical record. I guess I keep it because it's an example of use-of-the-internet that I haven't seen before or since. Also, I was kind of thinking some backstory might appear.
So, Sally, why are anonymous scolds on comment threads so irritating? At least "nina" left a first name.
Its true. Being scolded is no fun, and being scolded anonymously is extra no fun, especially when they make a point of using my name in the post. But on the other hand, this is the internet! That's what people do, and I don't mind that much. Besides, maybe this "anonymous" is really Roger Evans!
I don't use Cialis! I have a Nike Air Implant.
The scold wasn't from Roger Evans. Just someone who is irritated by Sally's hypocritical scold. Why post something if you think it's gross-- like all bloggers, you seem to be using this comment to garner attention for yourself-- and that's gross.
don't these things have a shelf life? why are people commenting on something that was posted in 2004? Isn't it time for this posting to be replaced by something else?

"like all bloggers..."
the moral of the story is: bloggers should erase all posts they don't approve of from their comment threads. That oughta clean up the internet!
so sally, since you are the only one with the power to remove this posting, why don't you remove it? or do you, like most bloggers feed off of the pathetic attention that comes at someone elses expense-- regardless of whether the comment is pure conjecture.
come clean, sally. like all bloggers, you are both "nina" and "anonymous." this is a cry for help, no? i suggest rereading The Critique of Pure Conjecture before all your comments become nominally noumenal.
oh, by the way, keep away from robert evans too. dont let that pious hollywood demeanor fool you, he likes to sleep with women. *gasp*
The Vendetta Spam Stays in the Picture.
Noumenally yours,
Although I would recommend staying away from Roger Evans, vendetta spam brings the tone down for everyone and discredits the validity of blogging.
I think someone has Robert Evans and Roger Evans confused! & that's an insult to BOB!
Oh My God! This is completely funny! That guy is completely creepy!
