A NIGHT OF BUTOH, POETRY AND ART- BOKA GALLERY By Antonio Pineda Boaz Zippor greets me at the entrance to Boka Gallery in the Saphan-Kwai area of Bangkok. He lights up a cigarette, as he greets his guests and discourses at length on painting and photography. “My photographic art in this exhibition is as raw as you can [...] Mark Ebner Six Degrees of Paris Hilton SIX DEGREES OF PARIS HILTON I met author-journalist Mark Ebner in Bangkok in the wake of the David Carradine affair.

I stride across the opulent lobby of the Swissotel Nailert Park, take the lift to the 5th floor, where investigative journalist Mark Ebner admits me to his suite. He has had dinner with Dr. Pornthip, the famous Thai forensic scientist [...] Ebner drops the bomb. He researched the scenario. His research brought him to an actor- film director in NYC. Here is the game plan. The dominatrix shows up at his fashionable penthouse on the Upper East Side. As the door closes behind the actor – director, the dominatrix punches him to the floor , and demands him to grovel before his lord and master. The sexual pathology is one of transference of power. The dominatrix binds him by rope in the same intricate fashion as Carradine. He is then taken to the bed where the dominatrix jams a wire up his urethra. The dominatrix engages him in wild aberrant sex, at the moment of orgasm, the erotic asphyxiation element is played out. In NYC an hour with the dominatrix costs 350 US D an hour. The same service can be had here all night for the same price. Ebner has done his research, and we are all in tune with his [...] David Carradine was murdered and there is a cover up over here in Bangkok. It was probably done by a ladyboy, either on purpose or accidently. The ladyboy would be strong enough and big enough to pick him up and place him in the closet. I want to see the tapes from the hotel’s cameras. Please try to get your hands on them and check them out as they may have been tampered with [...] Winters talked with Chuck and Tiffany, the agents for Carradine. The actor was lined up for work years in advance. People of a certain social class always have the obligatory gold Rolex watch, diamond ring and gold chain plus the mandatory roll of mad money in their billfold. No mention was made of this by police. David produces the wild card from the deck. He contends that a katoey, ie a ladyboy or transexual, could have easily possessed the strength to murder Carradine. Katoeys are part and parcel of the Bangkok scene. They blend into the fabric of the demimonde. They are often indistinguishable from the real [...] I am a blogger on the scene in Bangkok at the hotel where Carradine died and am blogging about this on http://magickpapers.com/blog ICON OF AN AMERICAN FILM DYNASTY The announcer for the BBC breaks the story on TV.
