Keith Haring: Innovative Art
Keith Herring, truly on artistic original. His work was a type of street art that no one sent him has done, and no one after him has done it either. One word that describes the artwork of Keith Haring is innovated an unprecedented. His works of art also socially conscious statements for example, Keith had contracted aids, and so in his artwork, he often did pieces that raise the awareness of the disease and for cure. Keith was also a publicly out of the closet, gay man, who, also in his work addressed issues important in the gay and lesbian communities.

vicious is a British broadcasting corporation sitcom that I happen to find on my TV. I love a good British sitcom and to me this sitcom is 100% one of the best British sitcom I have ever seen in my whole life. the premise of the show was very very simple. It’s about a gay couple of elderly persuasion who live in London in a what would be known as an apartment complex but in England, it would be a flat.

Boy George Take it like A Man
Boy George’s autobiography is a great read. It was released in 1995 written by Boy George, of course. Basically, he tells his life story before Culture Club, in, after and solo. I loved reading his autobiography, in fact I had always wanted to read it, and I finally had a chance. To read the book is like you are sitting in a English pub with Boy George having a drink or two and he’s telling you how it was.
