So what do you do with all the random bits of paperwork you unearth when clearing your parent’s flat? You turn them into a lampshade, that’s what.

My old gallerist posted a photo on Instagram of a long forgotten piece of work. So this is where my head was at in 1986 apparently.
A mixed media sculpture made with stitched together tights of a naked female-like figure trapped inside a wire cage. The work was called “Tweet Tweet”.

Comrades! If you don’t want your reading led by focus groups, over-promoted by marketing teams & placed in Waterstones windows thru the power of big bucks, then take a trip to @beardedbadgerbooks.bsky.social - a shop dedicated to indie books that fall outside of the mainstream. #BuyMyFuckingBook™

A friend ripped out a cupboard and found me stuffed down behind it. Particularly weird cos she didn’t know me or the cupboard in 1989.

Of all the things I’ve discovered while clearing out my parent’s flat, it’s the debris I’ve found while reupholstering an armchair that has me feeling closest to them and my childhood. #TheWombles3p
Sweet wrappers, two combs, a book of knitting patterns, a little bit of upholstery fringe, a plastic elephant, a couple of pieces of scalectrix, a magic coin toy, a little diary from 1974, a pencil and a key.

When I was 15 I went by myself to see these guys at the Liverpool Empire. My dad waited in the car outside. Who’d have thought - certainly not 15 year old me - that all these years later they’d be in me house.

Not sure what happened in this room, but I fear it involved a gun. #EstateAgentPix

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios.

I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.

I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.

That’s great advice for life.

It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.

Seems bookshop.org have decided to list my book again. They’ll probably change their minds so if you fancy supporting an indie bookshop, do it soon before they bump me again. Alternatively support an indie me & buy direct michelehowarth.com You’ll get it quicker & the code FACEFLANNEL gives 10% off.
