Mail art by IUOMA member Diane Keys (Elgin, Illinois, USA)

April 22, 2017 - As I have asked before: What would the Karnival of Trash be without work by the raining Queen of Trash(po)? Luckily, Diane Keys has been exceedingly generous about sharing work. (Actually at one point she demanded a hefty payment, but she relented.) I am thrilled to be able to exhibit new work from Elgin especially rich in DKult memorabilia and promotional materials. Prepare to feast your eyes upon an absolutely classic Kulter treasure trove.

And the envelope:

Many thanks to Diane Keys!

You think I don't know what you're doing "DKULT"? I am not bullying women about body image. I wouldn't do that. But the life-size manikin I am making is going to be accurate in terms of body proportions.

[De Villo Sloan]

I hope you Kulter trolls are happy. I'm a digital leper on FB thanks to these baseless rumors you're spreading. I beg IUOMA friends not to believe any of these accusations.

[DKeys]

Toni, you would not be a good fit for the Mother part. She will have to be played by some underworld type-a cross between Joan Crawford and Kathy Bates in misery

[Toni Hanner -- tonipoet]

I would be proud to play DK's mother, but I have already been promised the part of DK herself. My lawyers will be contacting you soon, DVS. Woof.

[DKeys]

You have not been hacked? then this confirms you are sending out emails, to others I presume, probably only FEMALES, saying "Thought you would want to see this" and it is a link to a weight loss 'miracle'. 

This gave me an eating disorder OVERNIGHT. expect a Lawd Soot

[De Villo Sloan]

It has come to my attention that a "top dog" at DKult is spreading a message at FB (not at IUOMA) that my account has been hacked and a fake DVS is spamming people with weight loss ads. Needless to say, I am losing friends and support just when I've launched my new film project.

This is not true. I have not been hacked and I am not spamming friends, Contact me back channel if you have concerns before unfriending me or deleting my comments.

[DKeys]

That's fine. Dkult is all about androgyny. I will not give this film my blessing because I want to at least co-write the script. I do NOT think the Dkult bake sale should be included

[De Villo Sloan]

A guy is probably going to play you. More guys want the part of DK than women.

I'm thinking Toni will probably play your mother.

You could make this so much easier and give the project your blessing.

[DKeys]

I thought Toni had been cast already! 

[De Villo Sloan]

Don't listen to them. They're trying to sabotage my new film project. I am looking for an actor/actress to play DK in a video and they don't approve.

They sent me a BOX of rotting food like this and I got in trouble because not the PO but where I lived thought it was a health hazard.
