Bad Girls Hotel Review

Bad Girls Hotel

The book is not too large nor too small. I would say it has almost the perfect size. Women's completely unusual with many tattoos, piercings, crazy hair and extreme makeup. Bodys for all tastes, from skinny to lush voluptuous curves. Each model was photographed in a different room and each room has its own soul with stunning decor and colors. Better models photographed: Gizel in room A9 and C11, Persephone in room C15, Brittany in room C9 (the spectacular blonde on the cover), Gizel and Sunny in room C9 and finally the spectacular porn star Janine Lindemulder. An excellent photographic work with "bad" girls compiled in a remarkable book.

Is this erotic art, a social statement, or is it just pornography' As a documentation of the wilder side of New York City in the 21st century, Coulter's models are certainly girls on the edge, with tattoos, piercings and dyed hair. They are dancers, escorts, waitresses, and an occasional medical student. But for some reason, they are all drawn to showing off their bodies in ways that reveal not just their private parts, but also reveal their characters and a sense of rebellion. Done in the course of a year at the notorious Carlton Arms Hotel on 25th street, where nobody in their right mind would ever stay, these are strange photos.

The Beat Hotel: Ginsberg, Burroughs & Corso in Paris, 1957-1963 Review

I lived at number nine rue Git-le-Coeur from 1955 until 1958 and visited there often until 1960 and knew most of the people mentioned in the book. I was an ex-Korean War Vet studying on the G.I. Bill as were thousands of "Americans in Paris" in the 50,s. I can attest that most of the events related are accurate. The Hotel was special because of the freedom the owner granted us: cooking in our rooms, decorating them, allowing overnight guests, etc.) I believe it was the Hotel that helped form the "Beats" rather then the other way around since it was a creative beehive before they got there. My main argument with the book is the insistance of the hotel as being sordid, rat-ridden and dirty. This was not true. I never saw a four-legged rat there and the only roaches were the cannibis kind. The rooms were swept and mopped daily. It was a great place to be even before the "Beats" arrived and should not be defamed by exaggeration at the expense of the wonderful blue haired MadameRachou who owned it and took care of us, her Americains.
