"...

Especially with men?

That's one of the reasons i got into the sex stuff. I'm always obsessed with the idea of doing something that hasn't been done. I remember the first time i saw one of those photographs. It was a number of years ago and i was living in New York. I wasn't naive, and i didn't get an erection. But i got a stomachache; i got a funny feeling inside me. It gave me a whole new thing to work with.

LIVE FOREVER

was the first survey of Elizabeth Peyton's work in an American institution. The survey included more than 100 works made over the past fifteen years.

I can't get enough of the way New Museum works. The link below to the exhition provides all the information about the artist and her work and above all offers an interview in wich one can hear Elizabeth Peyton on herself. Gorgeous. I wonder why this can't be done in Portugal .

LOVE THE THREE DIRTY BOYS

THE STATE OF THE WORLD - 16

Did you say the Peace Nobel Prize?!

"Since President Barack Obama took office in January the State Department has contracted with Blackwater for more than $174 million in 'security services' alone in Iraq and Afghanistan and tens of millions more in "aviation services." Much of this money stems from existing contracts from the Bush era that have been continued by the Obama administration."--Jeremy Scahill




"[Sen. Russ] Feingold said he is increasingly disturbed by the war in Afghanistan, where troop levels are escalating by the month, US casualties are mounting and the insurgency is expanding. 'It appears that no one even asked the president about [Afghanistan] at his [July 22] press conference after apparently thirty or thirty-one Americans were killed in Afghanistan last month. How is that possible?' Feingold asks. 'People have to wake up to what's going on in Afghanistan, and my vote is a request that people wake up to what's happening, which is we are getting deeper and deeper into this situation in a way that I don't think necessarily makes sense at all and may actually be counterproductive.'"--Jeremy Scahill






If Obama wants his national conversation on youth violence to be more than platitudes and hype, he would do well to revisit these words delivered by fellow Nobel Peace Prize winner Martin Luther King Jr. in his famous "Beyond Vietnam" speech:



We were taking the black young men who had been crippled by our society and sending them 8,000 miles away to guarantee liberties in Southeast Asia which they had not found in southwest Georgia and East Harlem. So we have been repeatedly faced with the cruel irony of watching Negro and white boys on TV screens as they kill and die together for a nation that has been unable to seat them together in the same schools. So we watch them in brutal solidarity burning the huts of a poor village, but we realize that they would hardly live on the same block in Chicago...



I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government.

METAPHORS FOR THE SOCIETY WE LIVE IN:

1 - TO BLAME "ME"

"How not to feel compassion for France Telecom employees who complain about moral harassment, a management of terror, an obsession for results? We have all experienced it, and often blame it on the American way, or more generally on globalisation. But isn't it a collective responsibility? Europe doesn't have to go the same way, does it? Being the biggest market with 495 million inhabitants with a greater GDP than that of the US, Europe could reverse the trend. France Telecom's past blindness and very slow realisation is but a metaphor for the society we live in. It's time we all woke up."

"I can't accept the new reorganisation in my department. I'm getting a new boss and I'd rather die. I'm leaving my handbag with my mobiles and keys in the office, but I'll take my donor card with me, you never know," she wrote."

LOVE THE NEW GUESTS OF THE COUNTESS

The Countess of Neiva returned from Benares with him

and him

For those who don´t know the most antique city of the world, I and the Countess recommend this fine book:

FOLLOWING THE EQUATOR. A JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD by Mark Twain

The author dedicates it to a friend in the following terms:

"THIS BOOK Is affectionately inscribed to MY YOUNG FRIEND HARRY ROGERS WITH RECOGNITION OF WHAT HE IS, AND APPREHENSION OF WHAT HE MAY BECOME, UNLESS HE FORM HIMSELF A LITTLE MORE CLOSELY UPON THE MODEL OF THE AUTHOR."

"THE PUDD'NHEAD MAXIMS. THESE WISDOMS ARE FOR THE LURING OF YOUTH TOWARD HIGH MORAL ALTITUDES. THE AUTHOR DID NOT GATHER THEM FROM PRACTICE, BUT FROM OBSERVATION. TO BE GOOD IS NOBLE; BUT TO SHOW OTHERS HOW TO BE GOOD IS NOBLER AND NO TROUBLE."

Read Following the Equator, here:
