Bo gelz dem sugar

Those thighs are real interesting, real smooth... (gets lost in thoughts)

Ok! I was having a convesation with a friend the oda day and she was telling how men are such cheaters, unhonest and all the "doggy charator we have been dubbed to be"!

*giggle - Sharp honestly I agree BUT.

Damn! we are a generation raised primarily by women (even if you had a father figure). . . women have been the one raising men of today ... WHY IS THE FINGER ALWAYS POINTED AT US!?!?!

NB: There is a saying that "You point a finger THREE points back at you"

what an interesting photograph!
i like the 1 one the left,
wow,
**wink**

Jaz, i've noticed you frown upon any expression of overt appreciation of sexuality. Reminds me of the song The Questions:
"Yo, if I'm a intellectual-al, I can't be sexual?(I don't know, you wanna be sexual??)If I want to uhh tah uhh does that mean I lack respect for you?"

"Why do need id to get id?"
Snap'd!

nah Ngujaz i meant i hate growing up with a passion!

Juxtapose: i ain't got no issues with sexuality. i do have a problem with the fact that everytime we see images of ladies, we do not crit the photograph itself (shot angle, colour, texture, line, content, context), we reduce the work to anatomical parts.
it's juvenile, not sexuality -- don't get it twisted.

noidSystems: there's no argument in the world that can support gender insensitivity. we need to be a more evolved people. move from the profane to the sacred.

*frowns upon Juxtapose -- and noidSystems

how do we even begin to make the distinction? if say the intuitive response to a pic is to appreciate the sexuality contained therein how does that then automatically 'reduce' the work? i think it's facist to assume that there is only one mode of recieving the art.

then colour me a fascist Juxtapose . Far be it from me to deny you your "appeciation of sexuality" as you call it.
Although -- appreciation requires higher orders, none of which I have seen expressed as we "appreciate sexuality".

it's difficult for me to believe Juxtapose that there is only one part to you. surely you notice your own inner higher and lower selves?
so you determine them. and so too do you determine which of those selves you will use to navigate the world.

Have you seen the men in those movies??? They make SA men look like wimps...

*bumaye

these pretty galz came 2my place after a shoot with those pretty dresses on and i just took a pic cos i thot they looked cute... so the other day i saw this pic, it brought back fun memories and decided to post cos it put a smile on my face. Some comments however make me wish i hadn put it up, now my friends are being viewed which is not how i wanted it be...

i read a recent review of marlene dumas, the writer expounded on the "lack of virtues" in marlene's work, saying how the "art" bordered on denigrating particularly the female form. it was an intersting argument because the writer made the point of seeing overt (impolite) sexuality & art as being mutually exclusive. i dont know if i buy that thinking, think it's narrow. that being said I think there's a line, a personal line i (notice i said "I") draw that allows me to morally navigate my own sense of right & wrong. i'm sure my momma had some role in that.the above nothwithstanding, an artist(?) cannot choose how her work is recieved, and yes sometimes how it's recieved may even offend the most hardened of sensibilities. it's like management of a public company, they can't choose their shareholders. (err, hope the ananology stiks). i guess once you done creating/capturing the art you orphan it, and sometimes how that orphan behaves will even offend you as its mother-artist. phew, that said, happy friday ps, my mother would give me option A&B&C in the above scenario
