I’d like to share some of his quotes and thoughts with you as well as take some time to reflect on what they’ve taught me….

What I’m reading… Joy St James aka ‘The Scholarly Slut’

Her latest post:

Trumpschmerz

She describes herself as a postmodern Moll Flanders. Adventuress, transgressor, verbal ecdysiast, and yogini. Recovering prude, former nerd, brainy bimbo.

What I’m reading… Sexuality in Western Art

The book covers art from the so-called “prehistoric Venuses,” cave paintings and carvings and takes the reader on a fascinating tour of the whole of western art (with a few diversions to eastern art such as the Japanese Shunga woodblock painting “The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife”) and arrives safely in the present time.

Edward Lucie-Smith’s […]

What I’m reading: Two Decades Naked by Leigh Hopkinson

From the article in The Guardian

Is working as a stripper honestly empowering? It’s a question I’ve been asking myself since I quit stripping 18 months ago, after spending two decades naked.

It’s also a question I had a vested interest in not asking while I was still gainfully employed. I hated the popular belief […]

What I’m reading… ‘David Bailey’s Democracy’

From An Introduction by Desmond Morris

When viewing these portraits it is important to make a distinction between nudity and nakedness. To me, these are naked bodies but they are not nudes. Traditionally the nude has one of two agendas – the […]

What I’m reading…’If It’s Purple, Someone’s Gonna Die: The Power of Color in Visual Storytelling’

Guided by her twenty-five years of research on the effects of color on behavior, Bellantoni has grouped more than 60 films under the spheres of influence of six major colors, each of which triggers very specific emotional states.

What I’m reading… Out of Eden: The Surprising Consequences of Polygamy

From Amazon:

In this changing world of what is socially and politically “correct,” polygamy is perhaps the last great taboo. Over the last thousand years, monogamy – at least in name – has been the default setting for coupledom and procreation in the Western world. And yet, throughout history, there have been inklings that “one-man, one-woman” […]

What I’m reading – Joy St James ‘Pour On The Pink!’

“A woman who tries to act like a man is a total waste of a woman.” So asserts Shelley Zalis, the founder of the “Girls’ Lounge” — as counterpoint to the traditional “boy’s club” dominating business culture. Hers is a place for serious businesswomen to express themselves as girlie girls. A dash — […]
