I could just cut out all the moments of public embarrassment and go back to the days when I blew out Pixie's candles and she put my hand in hot water while I was sleeping. No matter what I do, my name is still attached to the Real Morons of South Beach. Plus my sisters are always half naked on the cover of every magazine. Not saying I don't care about them, but the fame thing gets irritating after a while. Especially India. Yes I pick favorites. What I think I do I am an Americanist cultural anthropologist and urban ethnographer. I argue that gentrification represents a 'racial fix' in the speculative housing market, deriving from and building on racial inequities and local racial histories, and becomes a site for the social production of flexible racism based on what I call 'intimate segregation.' I grew up in Laguna Hills, California and before embarking on research on the "city on the make." Recent Work Excerpt from Northwestern Academia 2014 Damon is a child. He bitches for hours at documentaries for not doing their job for whatever he thinks is the hot issue at the time and thinks starting arguments about the Lehman brothers at dinner parties is perfectly acceptable. We starting dating in college, me believing he'd want to settle down after or at least get off the couch, but he's content doing absolutely nothing. It took him a week to even notice my stuff was gone. For someone who thinks his 'calling' is literally calling out other people he's pretty fucking selfish. 0/10 would not recommend. Megan Baker WHEN THE WHITE PEOPLE CORNER (2011) Damon Sanots Yanely lives in Venice, California. When I asked about the gentrification in her area, I had trouble communicating the ideas and changes that were made in the neighborhood. The word for gentrification in Spanish is gentrificación. Immediately her face lit up understanding. "Oh! When the white people corner." The title generally makes people uncomfortable, but I think that's the idea. One time I flew my dog on a private plane with me to New York The Next Day "Damon Santos hates family and white people." Insider "The four thousand dollar dog" E! ________________________________________ your name mallory play-by ryan bertroche member group resident
