All That is Gold Does Not Glitter:  

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

Eyes as big as plates.

sad and useless called it: old people wearing vegetation. 

I call it fantastic stuff. 

and definitely much fresher than babies in flowerpots. merci.

>> According to a quick (and aggravating) Google search, female sexuality has been likened to numerous things, including a slow combustion stove, a labyrinth, pre-iPhone mobile phones, fire (which takes no less than three elements to ignite), tropical weather, the flight control panel of a 747 airliner, and, most charmingly, the difficult act of holding a beach ball under water.

Here’s a thought: Maybe understanding female desire isn’t a matter of the subject’s complexity, but its counterpart’s competence. Just saying. <<

that's what sugarhigh said, announcing the exhibition:  
MALE NUDES - FEMALE DESIRES at Galerie Tanja Wagner, Berlin, 
which I visited yesterday. 

I'm sharing with you images of artist Lina Sheynius. Because I found her work was stunningly natural and direct and incredibly sexy. Representing an authentic 'female gaze' & sexualizing her (ex)boyfriends body in one of the most sensual+explicit ways I could imagine.

The other featured artists Jen Davis, Nina Hoffmann and Paula Winkler are reflecting different aspects of female sexuality with a less immediately intimate but more intellectual approach, touching the issues of male body ideals, self-staging, 'online-lust' and others. Absolutely worth visiting.

alle lust will ewigkeit.

O Mensch! Gib acht!

Was spricht die tiefe Mitternacht?

"Ich schlief, ich schlief -,

Aus tiefem Traum bin ich erwacht: -

Die Welt ist tief,

Und tiefer als der Tag gedacht.

Tief ist ihr Weh -,

Lust - tiefer noch als Herzeleid:

Weh spricht: Vergeh!

Doch alle Lust will Ewigkeit -,

- will tiefe, tiefe Ewigkeit!"

Aus:

Friedrich Nietzsche:
Also sprach Zarathustra (1883-1891).

Embrace!

Let me hug you.

"Bhalo is a fair trade design label that aims to create desirable fashion whilst empowering disadvantaged people, especially women, allowing them to work their way out of poverty.

Our cotton is hand loomed and hand embroidered by women in rural Bangladesh, not only giving them much needed employment and training, but providing them with simple things that we take for granted - education/childcare for their children, basic healthcare, and most of all, dignity. We oppose human exploitation and feel everyone should be given the right to fair employment terms, and given a decent price for their work. Wouldn't you expect the same?"

I do like Bhalo.

Il n'y a pas d'étoiles // Sur Le Plafond // Si je m'allonge au sol // Je me noie, dans le son

Les yeux de ma promise // Sont des cimetières // Des cadavres en chemise // Courent dans ses artères

Les yeux de ma promise // Des cadavres en chemise

Il n'y a pas d'étoiles // Sur Le Plafond // Si je m'allonge au sol // Je me noie, dans le son

Votre tête est un tombeau // Une cage à soucis // Puis-je vous ouvrir le crane ma chère amie

Votre tête est un tombeau // Puis-je vous ouvrir le crane

Il n'y a pas d'étoiles // Sur Le Plafond // Si je m'allonge au sol // Je me noie, dans le son

Je vis dans un couloir // Qui n'a pas de tête // Les murs sont des armoires en allumettes

Je vis dans un couloir // Les murs sont des armoires

Il n'y a pas d'étoiles // Sur Le Plafond // Si je m'allonge au sol // Je me noie, dans le son

Il n'y a pas d'étoiles // Sur Le Plafond // Si je m'allonge au sol // Je me voie, que des cons
