I chose this picture not because it's great but because of the note that it had attached to it
"This photo has the most views of all my photos. It jumped on the first place in one day! Why?!? Beacause I'm naked... What's the conclusion? Well, I'm starting to belive mr. Willheim Reich. He claims that the existence of capitalist society depends on suppression of the sexual instincts which is systematicaly puted upon from the institutions of capitalism, like religions, schools, corporations"
I think that the reason that it grabbed my attention was that we were talking about hyper sexualization yesterday - that thing that they did tpo Britney with the pigtails, rubber suits and boob jobs - leaving her nowhere to go, The worry was that sexuality is so aggressively commercial these days that it's actually become divorced from sexiness.
The porn stars that sell us their robotic couplings are scupltures of collagen and silicon, each knowing their niche and bleaching their assholes. They're relentless rather than sexy. Stripped of dialogue by gonzo and tease by the relentless skip to the money shot trigger finger of DVD users everywhere.
And where pornstars lead America follows. So our models, actresses, young women and our commercial materials all start to mirror this aggressively one dimensional model.
Meanwhille the resistance starts to spring up. Burlesque rears its head promising glamor, curves and a sense of tease, a sense of fun. Brands jump on the 'not us' bandwagon, championiung a different beauty ideal - still selling that firming gel but stopping short of the bum bleach (for now)
So perhaps this blog should go naked. A nude image every day. A pneumatic nude - pumped up and soulless. I'm sure the view count would rise. Or at least I think it would. Let's see.

Ummmm...dude? While we applaud your decision to "git nekkid" in the cause of art, culture, and all sorts of freedoms, we humbly submit that there are those who have signed up to see you 'tackle out' (to whit, Jude) - the rest of us have a hard enough time keeping our breakfast down as it is! :)

Meh... there's plenty of tease... the nonude sites on the net make more money than all but the best hardcore ones. And there's the relentless march of the lesbian sites like Abbywinters... They can feed us bleached arseholes but we don't have to rim them...
... wonder if M will check back on his comment and keep his breakfast down at that...
ps i've been told some good celeb filth for when you're back in the uk, far too scandalous for here, but i'll keep it warm for you!
