Pandrogeny? That's a new one even for me...














I looked this all up and down the internets but it seems that this is, as of yet, a newly invented what, idea? Identity disorder? Conceptual art piece? I have no idea. It looks as though pandrogeny was invented by one Genesis P-Orridge and his late spiritual wife, other half, what have you, Lady Jaye Bryer.

You see, "The idea behind pandrogeny, as they called it, was for two people to literally become each other—or to come as close as possible. At first, it was a matter of simply dressing alike, going in for the same hairstyle, getting Jaye a set of contact lenses to match Gen's eyes. But that wasn't enough. The Valentine's Day operation gave them matching breast implants, size C. Later, Jaye had her eyes and nose done, and got a chin implant, to resemble Gen. Gen received cheek enhancements and a lip job. At one point, they looked into the idea of smoothing over their belly buttons, like angels."

Like angels!
So obviously you're going to read this article in Radar anyway, but the weirdo surgery part isn't even the half of it!

This dude Genesis is kind of amazing, but have you ever heard of him??? I haven't.
He's epic though, apparently his first band, Throbbing Gristle (awesome name or what?!!?) basically invented industrial music. No, I don't like that shit either and when hear, "Reportedly, some performances featured frequencies so low they induced vomiting" and "If it weren't for Throbbing Gristle, people like Marilyn Manson and Trent Reznor would never have existed at all." I don't exactly get all hot and bothered to download that shit off iTunes.

But!!! There's more wacky to this article than you can shake a dildo at. Genesis has sex on stage, eats his own feces, throws it up and then eats the vomit, rides around in a baby carriage thinking up new art movements and, for some reason, crashes at Winona Ryder's parent's house when she was a kid.
I won't even get into how he gets married. Hint, it almost kills him.

Oh, also here's his personal website incase you can never get enough half crazy art-speak.
