Lun*na Menoh artist on Tea With Tosh

An early episode of Tea With Tosh, shot in 1987, which is also the last episode of Tea With Tosh as well. I met Lun*na Menoh in Los Angeles at an opening of her show at a cafe. I was totally knocked out by her work, and invited Lun*na to do an episode of "Tea With Tosh." A week later I asked her to marry me, and we are to this day still a married couple. With all respect, I'm basically a groupie. Here she talks about her work, but keep in mind this is what she was doing in 1987. Also included are the video works of Shirley (Squid) Ouchi, an artist of genius.

Lun*na Menoh: A Ring Around The Collar

Published by TamTam Books
Introduction by Leslie Dick.

For 14 years, Los Angeles–based artist, fashion designer and musician Lun*na Menoh has been exploring the many unexpected possibilities of the dirty shirt collar, producing paintings, sculptures, music, DVDs, performance art and fashion shows inspired by this lowly, ubiquitous aspect of clothing. The collar is a fashion boundary--the dividing line between what is hidden by clothing and the body that emerges from the cloth--and the stains commonly found there often confound sartorial panache, a fact which Menoh takes as the mischievous starting point for her work. Lun*na Menoh: A Ring Around the Collardocuments the paintings included in this series, as well as Menoh’s performance art and fashion shows. Included with this book is a flexi-disc with two songs by the artist’s band, Les Sewing Sisters, and an introduction by acclaimed author Leslie Dick.
