Singer /Actress Admits That Posing
for Nude Pictures Was 'Dumb'
“Adversity makes one a much
stronger person,” remarked Vanessa
W illiams, the first black Miss
America, who said she was hurt by
the reaction of African-Americans to
her winning the title.
“ I was thrust into the im pos
sible task of being a spokesper
son for A fric a n -A m e ric a n s ,”
W illiams said in an interview to
be published this Sunday in P a
rade magazine. "And it hurt when
the press picked apart my opin
ions and suggested that the only
reason I won was because my
light skin and green eyes made
me a safe c h o ic e to w h ite
America. It also hurt that many
African-A m ericans d id n ’t think
Vanessa Williams
I was black enough and therefore
not representative. All combined.
it was an awful lot for a young
girl to handle.”
The objections occurred even
before W illiam s was forced to
relinquish her title due to a scan
dal over nude photographs o f her
with another woman, which were
published without her consent.
Asked what she had been think
ing when she posed for the pho
tographs, W illiam s replied, “ If
only I had been thinking. But I
w asn’t, and th at’s the curse of
the young. I also was rebellious
where convention was concerned
and incredibly gullible. W hen
y o u ’re young, you do dum b
things. But I do not feel what I
did was morally w rong.”
New Portland Cafe Exhibits Outsider Art
I he Ego, Hunger, and Aggression
Cafe will feature the latest works by
Outsider Artist MOMO at 3401 S.E.
Belmont Street in Portland from June
2 through July 1.
An artist’s reception will be held
from 6-8 p.m. on First Thursday,
June 6.
Called “an inspiration” by City
Eights publisher and painter Law
rence Ferlinghetti (San Francisco),
and “a mad genius” by noted poe,
and scholar Jack Hirschman, Momo
infuses bright, childlike drawings and
paintings with philosophy, politics,
and Pop, mostly in found media. His
style recalls American artist Philip
Guston, the COBRA (Copenhagen/
Brussels/Amsterdam) expressionists
(1950-1980), and “Unmade Bed,”
the mad monk-artist o f Korea.
Momo has sold more than 400
works of art since he began painting,
drawing, and assembling his pieces
seven years ago, at age 40. Momo
collections hang in private homes
and cafes in Portland, San Francisco,
New York, Philadelphia, London,
Dublin, and West Germany. Momo's
cartoons appear in books and publi
cations that include Northwest Com
ic News and Austin, Texas-based
Art-Core Magazine.
The Ego, Elunger, and Aggression
Cafe is located amidst galleries and
dance clubs on Belmont and 34th.
Owners Gordon Zenk and Dennis
Brand chose its name from one father-
of-Gestalt Fritz Peris’ most important
books. Its menu features breakfasts,
salads, sandwiches, and a wide range
of coffees and refreshments.
