oui, it is my new book, no?

oui, it is my new book YES! so yeah, thanks to my beloved jean-lucien sending me a sweet tasty bundle of new picksh, i was able to get my new dazzling volume of fantasy and laughs off the ground tonight. well, i just got the cover on. and i like it. let's see, as the Stars we have the gorgeous and ethereal miss georgina hale, as the sinning-and-seeking-absolution phillipe on the right, and mr. oliver reed as the trying-to-be-holy-yet-tormented-by-temptations father grandier on the left. the image is of course, from the ken russell masterpiece 'the devils.' (and wow, wow, wow.... if you can get your hands on an uncut copy of the film, then man, strap yourself in and get ready for the searing carnal ride. truly, not only is it one of the finest films ken russell has ever made, i daresay it is amongst the finest films of all the 1970's. it is as gorgeous as it is hellish and shocking.) and um, the title word, 'oui,' seems to speak for itself. it is an exotic and positive word. although i must admit i chose it for the look of the word as much as i did for the meaning. i have great hopes for this book, which was hatched on the first day of june. so okay, now for the medallions below the main picture... let's see, what do we have? from left to right, we have the late, great, tough and sexy mr. joe strummer, smoking a tough 'don't care' cig; then we have some random retro aqua lighting; then hey! let's hear it for the disco scene, because we've got a shot of the curvy and tough annette from 'saturday night fever,' lighting tony's disco cig. ('...but you'd ask me to lay down...') then we've got the lovely and legendary orchid-colored couple of lucy and dougie from 'sgt. pepper's lonely heart's club band,' doing 'you never give me your money,' ; and after them? well it's the marvelous karl malden as mitch from kazan's 'a streetcar named desire,' peeking through the drapes. then next up, in the blue circle, there's the loving sparring couple of 'empire's' princess leia and han solo, bickering in the south passage of Hoth. and last, but certainly never, ever least... we have the silver-haired and handsome, painfully sexy mr. ian holm, as tom frost in cronenberg's buggy epic 'naked lunch,' of course based (somewhat) on william s. burroughs great book. so here it is lovers, dig it... the clutch of blank pages that will soon be filled with literally thousands of separate inkstrokes. its always an odd feeling when i start a new book. like, i always find it hard to believe i'll ever get the whole thing filled up... but hey, i've got about nine year's worth of books like this, all full... so i guess it's all a matter of uncapping that pen, and starting with the first date, the first quote, and that first bit of wit that makes my darling laugh. thank you God. Seriously. (click to enlarge) (oh, and i've since realized that annette's not in fact lighting tony's cig. just wanted to correct that.)

cool leia

ahhh, classic princess leia. i stumbled upon some great screen shots of the slinky princess a couple of nights ago. i have no idea who took them, but whoever it was, they had a pretty good eye. i've always loved this frame of leia retouching her sweet 'buns' after the ordeal in the trash compactor. but if you watch the film, the shot is almost 'blink and miss it,' so i thank the talented fan who snagged it for me. she looks pretty sweet for a girl who was almost mangled amidst a rancid swamp of 'death star' liquid waste. and hey, don't even get me started on the huge 'snakey thing' that almost drowned luke. so umm, yeah i think this one enlarges pretty well. man, she was beautiful. its on my desktop as we speak.

leia captured

here is another photographic experiment i tried when i had 'a new hope' rolling. i just got my camera right up on the screen and started shooting. as i've said before, i like the silky fine grain to the edges. hey, she's part of a diplomatic mission to aalderan. but darth thinks she's '...part of the rebel alliance, and a traitor.' and then, there's that scene where that floating robot dude comes into her cell with a big fat syringe of red liquid ready to stab and fill her veins with... well, apparently something that doesn't cloud her judgement too much. i mean, she springs right up and bolts out the door, quite energetically, once luke skywalker gets there. hey, maybe the robot gave her 'uppers.' who knows? but still, dig on this big silky shot of the princess i got.

nice shot, sis!

man, i don't have a lot to post tonight, and i'm a little bit pre- occupied because i might be going to visit my mate jean-lucien this weekend. and, as he's my true love and twin brother, i thought i'd mark my place tonight with one of the coolest boy-girl twin pairs in interglactic history. it is, of course, luke and leia from 'a new hope,' making good their escape from the death star. i like this picture. on first sight, i thought it had an almost-fake look to it. but, the closer i looked at it, i couldn't detect any photographic evidence that it wasn't legit, like an actual still-shot taken during the staging and filming of this scene. so dig it, and i'll be back as soon as i can. i love you all. and may the force be with you.

good-night kiss

breaking the alphabet with a hard romantic kiss good-night.
i love you all.
sweet dreams

luke and leia

sigh... i'm not really in the mood to write too much tonight. but i wanted to mark my place somehow... so here's a rare shot of luke and leia i found floating around out there in the galaxy. i had to over-trick it a little in order to bring their faces out. but i think its pretty groovy, i don't think i've ever seen it before. so um, hopefully some divine inspiration will drift in over the water tonight, in through my window, and like, climb its way into my brain, thus enabling me to have more for you soon. love.

new hope

man, today was hot and muggy... and the hours just seemed to drag. but with every monday there's 'a new hope.' i love you all and should be back in full 'force' soon. tonight, please dig on this cool shot of princess leia i just doctored up.

tarkin and leia...?

i've been watching a lot of 'star wars' lately; mostly 'new hope' and 'empire.' so i thought i'd mark tonight's place with a little not-yet-seen-by-me artwork. i apologize for not having any credits for it. like, i can't tell you who's responsible for assembling this cool-and-adequate collage, but i think its pretty groovy... and, as i said, i've been rolling those two movies as 'lamp' for the whole weekend, so i figured what the hell, right? i'm a little puzzled why tarkin and leia are like, foremost in this piece...? like, it kind of makes it seem like the two of them are on the same side. (yeah, right.) so this might be the only post for the night, so um... may the force be with you.

blue leia

so... bad news, i woke up this morning with a blazing toothache... good news, the ora-jel is numbing the pain enough for me to focus long enough to post this pretty blue picture of carrie fisher as princess leia. i think this is the costume from the medal ceremony at the end of ... are they calling it 'a new hope' now? anyway, you know its when she lays the medals on luke and han solo. i tricked this one a long time ago, and just went with the blue tint because i was basically f*ing around. like i said, it was a long time ago, and i think i was just learning how to use all the photoshop stuff. its still a very nice picture. dig it, and may the force be with you.

sleeping princess

hey, i think its about time for me to lay down the royal brunette head. i love serving you all, but its been a long day, and the princess is exhausted. so good night, my sweet and chivalrous princes, good night... i kiss you all and thank you sincerely for your boundless service.

for luck

wow... the look on luke's face, it just seems to say, '...oh my god, did she just...' boys, i know any of you with an honorable and chivalrous heart felt a rush when the delivered princess planted that kiss. perhaps some dark and innocent part of him knew it was somewhat incestuous... perhaps not. still, this moment, this kiss, and what it meant to our generation can probably not be overstated. if this small moment of acute arousal inspired any boy to bloom into a gentleman, then perhaps Chivalry is not Dead, and we princesses need not feel foolish in our belief that no matter how jaded and cold and practical and tactical the world gets, there will always be a boy out there willing to shoot our jailer and swing us from a star.

vrooom!

here's a shocking pink bookmark my mate jean-lucien made a long time ago using pictures of t.e. lawrence and his motorcycle, pink stars, and princess leia organa. it looks fast and groovy and great. jean-lucien manages to coax just the right shades out of colors. the shade of pink is very 'revved-up,' which is so fitting for the fey horsepower of 'el lawrence.' dig it.
