PERMANENT OBSCURITY

PERMANENT OBSCURITY, or the full title: "PERMANENT OBSCURITY: Or a Cautionary Tale of Two Girls and Their Misadventures with Drugs, Pornography and Death by Dolores Santana (as told to Richard Perez)'', published in 2010 by Ludlow Press, is neo-sexploitation novel and dark comedy written by New York Times contributor, Richard Perez, author of The Losers' Club, a novel set in the East Village in the 1990's, which has been translated into three languages: Italian , Turkish, and Korean. The story of PERMANENT OBSCURITY, broken into three parts: "The Kinky Hook," "Strange Hungers," "No Man's Land" -- takes place in New York City's East Village (circa the Bush era), and it chronicles the rise and fall of a unique and intense relationship. The main characters, Dolores and Serena, two chemically dependent, down-and-out artists set out to take control of their lives by making a fetish-noir/femdom movie. Of course, things don't exactly turn out as planned.

and Their Misadventures with Drugs, Pornography and Death by Dolores Santana
(as told to Richard Perez)

* A youthful bohemian satire,
* a story of alienated nonconformists,
* a "girls on the lam" story,
* a sexploitation and S/M romp,
* a spoof of cult celebrity and "true-life" tabloid sensationalism
"Dope reduces the anxiety of social life, especially in an underground art and rock scene simultaneously characterized by chronic insecurity and outsize egos, relentless status competition and the stark alternatives of sudden success and permanent obscurity.” -- from an article on heroin in The Village Voice (dated August 23, 1994)

Fade Into Obscurity 

The point in which someone was once famous or well-known, has ceased being relevant in pop culture - leaving them only to be occasionally referenced to in obscure references or jokes, making them fodder for the "where are they now?" file

This usually follows subsequently after that famous person's final attempt at retaining relevance in the cultural spotlight fails miserably, also known as jumping the shark. This is especially true for one hit wonders.
The quintessential example of this would be Milli Vanilli. Once successful in the early 90's, it was later revealed that the music produced was not their own. After this revelation, the public ceased caring about the group; and they have opted to disappear from the public eye out of emasculated embarassment, thus their fade into obscurity.

Other examples are Spuds Mackenzie, Fred Durst, Vanilla Ice.

Obscured by Clouds 

A very under-rated, super sweet, Pink Floyd Album.
It's not mentioned much unlike Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Wish you were Here....But it should be! Personally, I like this album and Piper at the Gates of Dawn, best. If you're not a true Pink Floyd fan, you have no idea what I'm talking about.[:
