William S. Burroughs was a controversial figure in the 1950's and through out the 60's during the peak of the peak of the Beat Generation. He was a novelist, an essayist, painter, and an outspoken social critic. He wrote some of the most acclaimed and controversial novels in American History; mostly dealing with his personal life struggles such as his opiate addiction, which marked a great effect in his last 50 years of life. His literature was that of an abstract Avante-garde style, and he influenced and attracted many figures of the pop culture. Initially, his work was acknowledged and he was elected to the AAIA in 1975.
Now, for the first time a documentary of such great figure has been developed, showcasing the controversial lifestyle of this figure, his effect on literature, and his many personal demons. Check out the 5 minute trailer below.

B-Rude by Boy George

B-Rude is the latest clothing line by a celebrity, in this case androgynous singer Boy George.


His new clothing line depicts the more punk-era in which he grew up on, and some wonderful color pieces with affordable material.


Celebrities such as Debbie Harry and Kylie Minogue, have been seen sporting his designs lately.


Not to be confused, his line is a much more underground and affordable style for those pop culture fans.



Check out a few pieces from his online catalog below:

FEELINGS

FEELINGS

What do you do when your feelings are mixed up inside you
You try to be happy but inside your always blue
At times you'd like to cry but theres people all about
So you hold it back and try not to pout
You try not to think of the bad times you had
And try to be happy but inside your always sad
You know exactly what you really want to say
But you can never get it out to this very day
It runs about in your head both day and night
And it doesn't go away no matter how hard you fight
People ask "How are you" you say "good" what a lie
If they only knew you would really rather cry
No matter what you do it is always on your mind
And all the people around you are so happy and kind
You try everything but nothing seems to work
All that pain because of one little hurt
No one understands what your going thru now
You want to live a happy life but you don't know how.
