say no more...

... i can say no more.
this may be my favorite version of this bit.
hollywood bowl, second.
i just never gets old.
love it.

slip

here's a hazy, heavenly photo i found of a 'cleopatra' era miss elizabeth taylor in a gloriously revealing and well-structured slip. man...seeing a shot like this makes it a hell of a lot easier to be a big girl. i have a pretty good idea of how tall she is... was; therefore its difficult for me to believe she weighed much less that 170 lbs, US. and i lust after every wild curve. and knowing, with a face that magnificent, one could afford to have a nice filet from time to time... and real bread with real butter...and some ice cream and custard and even a bit of bacon to follow. you can keep your gweneth paltrow... (even her name sounds like depravation) and you can keep your cate blanchett... give me the larger girls every time. so tempting... so sudsy... amen.

window : two

here's another primative collage my partner and i made over ten years ago. it bookends with the 'window : one,' also to be found on this site. jean-lucien and i both had identical copies of 'national geographic,' which contained the same shot of the same window, and we both sort of set ourselves an assigment to like, rhapsodise within them. i think the earlier post was my take, where this one was largely jean-lucien's. they're both dazzling, especially considering the limitations of our resources in those days. its still mysterious and gorgeous. so dig it.

mr. cuthbert

yes, his full name is ian holm cuthbert. and i'm not sure where this coppery still came from, but i love it. he's just gorgeous. i don't know if its because of the deep Welsh roots or what, but when i look into his eyes; even his photographed eyes, i feel like we already know eachother. like we would almost never have to talk. yes, i'm aware all of this sounds stalky, but i mean it in the most peaceful terms. perhaps we're distantly related, who knows? all i know is that when i look upon his face, and into those sandy seashore eyes, i feel something. sigh. ahhh, sir ian. i am for you.

marisa

do you have any idea how hard it is to find marisa berenson on the web? pictures of her, i mean. its so weird; the larger and more expansive the Web gets, the more without rhyme and reason it seems to be. like, i'm sure there's some bizarre site out there devoted to leopard-print ladie's shoes, but i haven't found one marisa berenson fansite. i mean, if i want to look at the lovely marisa, i have to roll 'barry lyndon' or 'cabaret.' she's also in blake edwards' 'S.O.B.'. i'm not sure why she never got 'bigger,' you know? i think she's every bit as talented and beautiful as any other chick that was snagging awards and notoriety around 1980. so here's to you, mrs. berenson...

toothpaste

i love print advertising from the 1970's. and colgate is my favored toothpaste, and i dig brooke shields. so i thought i'd post this shot. (i needed a splash of pink and red anyway.) for a while there, in the mid-80's, i thought brooke seemed to be a little dopey when she started hanging around with jacko, but hey, we all grow up, don't we? and as cheesy as it is, i have to admit, i think she's beautiful. and i still like 'the blue lagoon,' and that movie she made where she 'teenage-hid-out' in george burns house. what the hell was that movie called? was it, 'here's lookin' at you, kid?' i think it was something like that. i think she's cool now, too. hey, i think i just saw her in a new toothpaste ad yesterday!

julian miles holland

this is a still frame i snatched from some squeeze concert from the early 80's. just look at that face...! it proves that jools holland can be, and often is, breathtakingly beautiful. i realize this is a small picture, but what fine white skin, black hair, and pretty dark lips. he's like snow white. i don't really have much else to say about it, apart from asserting my 20 year old position that jools holland is just plain gorgeous.

honeytoast

here's a slice of notebook art... its an unusual pairing. that's a very young shot of jools holland on top. you can't tell from the picture, but he's holding a triangle of honeyd toast. and on the botton, its mr. alain whyte, sitting behind the drums in the recent morrissey video 'in the future when all's well.' good song, too. alain whyte usually plays the guitar, so i guess he was just visiting the set and screwing around. it makes a cool slide.

happy birthday

make a wish, martha. i hope you have a peaceful day and at least one decent slice of cake. you deserve it. you're so beautiful. i love you, and i love it when you're happy. so i hope the movie below makes you smile. i wish i could do more, but at least i can do this for you. i love you. love, love, love you!

my mommy.

plums, saucy version : goldie hawn - video

dick

okay, before you get too flustered, please realize the left-hand side of this slice of notebook art is an illustration for the graphic novel version of melville's whaling classic, 'moby dick.' the art was done by the great bill seinkewicz. (wait, out of respect, let me check the spelling....) christ, would you believe i was one letter off? its bill seinkiewicz. (i missed that second 'i'. ) the fellows on the right are stephen fry (top) and jude law (on the bottom) as co-stars for the movie 'wilde,' about the queer genius oscar wilde, with law as 'bosie.' in any case, i think it makes a slick slice of notebook art.

cruising

i love morrissey with his hair shorter like this. this shot was most likely taken around the

'maladjusted' era. he's such a doll. and he's tougher than he looks. i might have to post another song sometime soon. oddly enough, i don't really wonder very often what 'morrissey is thinking.' i believe i have a pretty good idea what he's thinking. i believe he's probably thinking about the next song, the next appearance, the next meal, the next deadline, the next bath, the next orgasm... just like the rest of us. i like the fact that he needs glasses. i like the fact that he keeps his fear, and his fearlessness, in context. he is a master at reconciling his contradictory impulses. man, i just realized, i could go on. but its getting late, and i have other wishes to make. so just dig morrissey, and how handsome he is.

married

mr. and mrs. miller, ladies and gentlemen. i look at this lovely photograph, and i wonder things like: what did they talk about at the breakfast table? did they enjoy the same music and radio programs? did they make a lot of eye contact with eachother? could he make her laugh? things like that. i've never been married. i could pretend to be all aloof and bag on it, like, as an institution... but the truth is, i'd love to get married someday. at least once. but i want to be clear... i never envision a big expensive wedding. a registry office or even some city hall thing would be cool with me. but i'd like to do it for this reason: when someone asks me if i was ever married, i'd like to be able to say yes, and have some sort of story to tell. even if it was ironic or unglamorous.

swinging jane

someone told me they liked the rare photo of jane fonda i posted a few nights ago, so i dug around a little bit and found this one. i wanted a blaze of orange in here anyway. what a fox, you know? i'm sure there were times in her career where she was insecure about her looks, weight, etc., whatever. but i think she almost never looked bad. even if she could never have acted her way out of a paper bag, she still could have had a brilliant career as a model. but she can act. even seemingly lightweight roles like Barbarella bring out some real light and attention to 'craft' or whatever. in any case, enjoy this punch-colored splash of sweet jane.

twins : a universal language

i've always said that identical twins are a universal language. you get three people from three different continents, show them twins, and they all immediately know what they're seeing. i wonder what its like not to be one? i mean, being a twin is the coolest thing in the world. i can't imagine what its like to not be 90% telepathic. the coolness is just off the chart. and hey, twins are sexy, too. i dare you to find someone who wouldn't say yes to bedding down a cute set of twins. these real twins were on the cover of this playboy... and i think they had a real spread in the magazine... but something tells me that's not their real hair. i'm calling 'wig' on these two. perhaps they wanted a little disguise so their old grandmother's friends wouldn't go batshit. who knows? but here's three cheers for twins. sexy, sexy twins.

kate

here is the genius miss kate bush at a very young age... i'd say about 14. even then, one glimpse into those wide eyes gives you the feeling she's dealing with an altogether different deck of cards. please enjoy her video below.

kate bush - 'sat in your lap' : video

here is the video for probably the first kate bush song i ever heard. it was played during the 'guest vj hour' that simon le bon and nick rhodes did for MTV sometime around 1984. maybe earlier. the video is unconventional, the song itself follows no rules. kate is inarguably pretty. here is a girl who has a firm grip on her Art and knows how to make others adhere to her vision; however surreal it may be. i stand by this piece of work 100%. i love this one. its wild. its wonderful. i love the rollerskates.

'..i don't know yet...'

yes, he's still collating. here is a frame i managed to shoot from 'alien.' it shows my darling wicked science officer ash from the back. i love the way his clothes fit him. i wonder how many versions of that costume they had made for that film. i know it gets spattered with blood at least once, and gets ripped up and soaked in a milky substance later. and they really don't show ash doing his laundry, so i wonder how many versions of his sky-blue uniform were made. and i wonder if any still exist. not that they'd ever fit me... i'm at least three inches taller than ian, and my legs are crazy-long. he looks damn good in it though. i don't know if its qualifies as a fetish, but when i watch his body move in that costume its like i'm watching marilyn's skirt blow up in 'seven year itch.' so hot.

steven take a bow

here's a frame i sharpshot a long time ago from the 'sheila take a bow' video by The Smiths. (for those of you that don't know, Morrissey was their lead singer.) its a marvelously catchy song, and he looks young and pretty and clean in the official video... which was a lip-synched performance on a british tv show. but i still love, and highly recommend the song. and he looks very pretty. personally, i prefer him a little older and heavier with a few lines in his face and a bit of gray on the temples. although very pretty in the earlier Smiths clips, he doesn't seem like he was finished cooking yet.

hot trash

don't get me wrong, this slide my partner made is very far from being trash. but hey, nick rhodes smoking a cigarette up there looks kind of trashy. chaz and pherba doing their hippy thing in the center is kind of hot, and the police-shades-wearing miss sylvie vartan on the right is sort of sexy-trashy as she rehearses her hot semi-french mid-1970's act. its gorgeously red, flashy, splashy, trashy, and i love it. if you to click-to-enlarge you can even spot the fitting caption, 'i brake for trash.' a hot slice of notebook art. i love it.
