Savage Beauty Day 3b
"Bumster" skirt, Highland Rape, autumn/winter 1995-96
Black silk [reproduction from original pattern]
"[With 'bumsters,'] I wanted to elongate the body, not just show the bum. To me, that part of the body - not so much the buttocks, but the bottom of the spine - that's the most erotic part of anyone's body, man or woman."*
What can I say? It's hump day!

A Week of Savage Beauty
Fashion, as many of you know, is a passion for me, and if you didn't know? You do now.
Last week I braved the heat wave and went to The Met, explored the Savage Beauty exhibit which offered a glimpse into the world Lee Alexander McQueen created where fashion is art, and came back with the catalogue - a hefty hardcover book that's as unique as the designer himself.
If asked for a single word to describe this man's work, the first that comes to my mind is "stunning", which doesn't do him justice.
So, I thought I'd take this week to post pics of some of my favorite pieces, and include the quotes from the book that accompanies them. Why the quotes? Some of them struck me personally, even touched on how I thought or even approached writing.
Dress, VOSS, spring/summer 2001
Red and black ostrich feathers and glass medical slides painted red.
"There's blood beneath every layer of skin."

Help! Someone stop these thieves!
[image error]
Oh, sorry, I was wrong - they're selling the purses, not stealing them. At least that's my take on photographer Tony Duran's [music on website that can be turned off] Parasuco ad with 3 so hot they're sweaty guys.
Do I want the bags, no, not really, but I'll peruse one or two to see what they're hiding.
Thank you, Homotography.

What does Summer bring to mind?
[image error]
Surfers!
Summer is in full swing and that means the guys who rule the waves are hanging out ready to ride.
Me?
Nope, not surfing, but writing it.

What's bugging me right now?
The need many folks have to make it a ebook or book world. This is usually followed by some reader stating "There's nothing better than the smell of a new book" and "They will never read an ebook".
Never is a long time of missing some real gems, besides, they have the basic premise of the discussion wrong.
It's not an either/or scenario, it's all about AND.
eBooks AND Books.
Format doesn't matter and if it does to you, I'm sorry, but the story is what I care about - however it comes.

Funny Testicle Thought
The Indian With One Testicle
There once was an Indian who had only one testicle and whose given name was 'Onestone'. He hated that name and asked everyone not to call him Onestone.
[image error] After years and years of torment, Onestone finally cracked and said,' If anyone calls me Onestone again I will kill them!'
The word got around and nobody called him that any more.
Then one day a young woman named Blue Bird forgot and said, 'Good morning, Onestone.' He jumped up, grabbed her and took her deep into the forest where he made love to her all day and all night. He made love to her all the next day, until Blue Bird died from exhaustion.
The word got around that Onestone meant what he promised he would do. Years went by and no one dared call him by his given name until A woman named Yellow Bird returned to the village after being away. Yellow Bird , who was Blue Bird's cousin, was overjoyed when she saw Onestone. She hugged him and said, 'Good to see you, Onestone.'
Onestone grabbed her, took her deep into the forest, then he made love to her all day, made love to her all night, made love to her all the next day, made love to her all the next night, butYellow Bird wouldn't die!
Why?
[image error] OH, come on.... take a guess !!!
Think about it !!!
You're going to love this !!!
Everyone knows...
You can't kill Two Birds with OneStone!!!
AHHH! S! You fab chick - love this one :-)

Thoughts on Comfort
[image error]
Comfort often plays a role in what a woman will wear, but sometimes it's not an issue, such as if you're going for a specific look. I have a feeling, while fun, a metal bra would not be comfortable - but it is a look where that ideal could be ditched.
A date with the perfect pirate maybe?
TalonArmory is selling these and others on Etsy with the opportunity to sew them onto a normal bra, which means the comfort issue may not be an issue for some.
