Do Images Escape You?

The images that surround us escape...If we don't capture them.

I like to capture, contort and coax.

Flesh & Bone Erotic Show

The show was a a lot of fun. There was great art and many wonderful guests that came to share ideas, interests and dreams.

There was food, drinks, body-painted models, bullwhips and sexually charged discussions that would make a politician blush.

Special thanks to Susan Migdol for putting the show together!

Is My Father Becoming an Anti-War Activist?

Today is a major benchmark in the pro-peace movement. My father sent me the first pro-peace/anti-war music video he has ever sent! This is a great video to awaken patriotic pro-peace activist in the common man. It is not appropriate for children.

Huckabee-Rewrite the Constitution God's Way

I'm not making this up! Here's what Mike Huckabee said:

“I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God. And thats what we need to do is amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than trying to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family.”

Buttons by Sia

The video below is from Australian artist, chanteuse Sia. Sorry, Sia. I just couldn't post this one as morning music, but I had to post it. This video comes with some cautions. It is a very creative video, but it is not for children. If you are claustrophobic or have difficulty seeing someone with a bag over their head, you might consider not watching this one. From her forthcoming album "Some People Have Real Problems", here is is her new video, "Buttons".

Morning Music - Your Song

Thinking of you.

Elton John's "Your Song" from the film Moulin Rouge:

D.C. Sex Scandal

Jon Stewart covers the latest D.C. sex scandal:

Deborah Jeane Palfrey is the woman at the center of a sex scandal that has caused a deputy secretary of state to resign. Palfrey ran her escort service for 13 years. Federal prosecutors allege she was providing $300-an-hour prostitutes plus she was indicted by a grand jury on federal racketeering charges in February.

Palfrey threatened to sell phone records that could unveil thousands of clients. Then...she handed them over to ABC News for free. Then...Randall L. Tobias resigned on Friday as our deputy secretary of state shortly after confirming he had used the service.

Tobias, who is 65 and married, was director of U.S. Foreign Assistance and administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development. He previously held a top job in the Bush administration overseeing AIDS relief, in which he promoted abstinence and a policy requiring grant recipients to swear they oppose prostitution.

ABC is expected to air a report on Palfrey and her clients on "20/20" on May 4, during sweeps. (surprise, surprise)

From the Blue Dot in the Red State

I am a South Texan, born and raised. We hold no musician in higher regard than Willie Nelson. Here's a little tune Wille felt comfortable to release, shortly after Brokeback Mountain was released. Willie Nelson's, "Cowboys are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other":

Fire Dancing and Fire Kissing

Don't forget about the gathering at Karma tonight! Here's a video that will give you an idea of what you might see tonight:

See you there!

Morning Music

This morning is dedicated to the little deaths we all adore and the peace we all hope for. This piece is called Romantic Death. May it inspire you to take December 22nd off.

Orgasm for Peace

Global Orgasm for Peace!

The goal is to add so much concentrated and high-energy positive input into the energy field of the Earth that it will reduce the current dangerous levels of aggression and violence throughout the world.

This is the First Annual Solstice Synchronized Global Orgasm for Peace, leading up to the December Solstice of 2012, when the Mayan Calendar ends with a new beginning.

Check out the official "O" site here. You can find the Global Orgasm Blog here.

The Sleeping Pirate

(click to enlarge)

I stumbled across a "budding" artist in the blogosphere. Ellen is an Aussie pirate with a penchant for the anatomy artistik'. Her interests, her art, and her designs all stem from below the waist. This is not a site for children, but for those who can appreciate how humanity and humor can bond even the most distant of friends. She is focused on the collaborative power of artists and the impact we have on our fellow artisans and the world. Give the, "Nonchalant Natter of the Sleeping Pirate" a peak...you know you want to. Let her know what you think.

Texas Law on Dildos

I know...I disappeared. When our House voted to roll back civil rights by 750 years, I froze. Every time I sat down to blog, I would start to sweat. I will be adding some additional political blogs in the near future. For now, I offer a little comic relief: Molly Ivins examines Texas law.
