Do you remember the TenderCrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch? You should. Hootie. Vida Guerra, Brooke Burke, and the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders doing suggestive things with buckets of ranch dressing and a giant chicken. It. Was. Madness.
Now then. Same time period. Do you remember Campbell's Select? John Lithgow swanning about, singing the praises of soup in a box during a lavish 30-second production. Velvety rich irresistible taste. Soup with panache!
Finally: Elton John's Vegas show, The Red Piano. Have you seen it? I saw the red piano when I was in Vegas, but not the show. I do not have even $100 for Mr. John. Sorry. Besides, I was busy having a torrid affair.
These things all1 have a common element: David LaChappelle. He's the fellow who took this photo of Drew Barrymore, among other things--music videos, short films, various odd bits and bobs of popular culture.
He's been on my mind lately. Whirling connections. Matrices. Flow. I have a theory! It looks like this:
It all makes sense now, doesn't it?
1Except for the torrid affair. That's tangential, really. And it wouldn't fit in the graphic.
