<p><em>Video Phone </em>é o 8° single do álbum <strong>I Am&#8230;..Xuxa Fierce</strong>, de Bundoncé. A canção traz de volta um pouco da sensação de <em>Diva</em>; uma canção meio esquisita, que te dá a impressão de estar no meio de muito ácido&#8230;se é que vocês me entendem. A letra não traz nada de novo &#8211; aquela velha história do jogo de sedução numa &#8220;buatshy&#8221; &#8211; mas o destino da faixa era a balada mesmo, então tudo bem. Ok, chega de encher linguiça &#8211; vamos falar do que eu realmente queria &#8211; o clipe.</p>
<p>O clipe dessa música é uma das coisas mais toscas que eu já vi na minha vida; e olha que eu já fui viciada em rap, música japonesa, música country e Mariah Carey. Pra começar, o clipe é muito pobre : daria uma voadora em cada um que concordou com a ideia de usar arminhas d&#8217;água num clipe de uma suposta &#8220;Diva&#8221;. O vídeo como um todo não inova em nada e não diverte. Ambientação batida (fundo branco) e tema mais ainda. E o que falar desses homens-taradões-câmeras-robôs? Parece um infeliz retorno de Beyoncé aos tempos de <em>Dangerously In Love</em>. Agora &#8211; se fosse só ela, tudo bem, mas não &#8211; minha amada Lady GaGa fez questão de se juntar à festa do caqui.</p>
<p>O 11° mandamento deveria ser promulgado por ocasião dessa catástrofe : não farás um videoclipe sensual junto de Beyoncé. Nunca, jamais. Ninguém nem vai te ver. Meus queridos : GaGa parece uma aidética ao lado de Bey. A única protuberância em seu corpo é seu nariz &#8211; e isso não é legal. Parece uma daquelas propagandas da Polishop, com o antes e o depois. Knowles é o depois, claro : depois de muito Sol, macarrão e Brooklyn. GaGa tem sua sensualidade, e ela faz questão de mostrar isso com bastante frequência; mas com seu próprio estilo. Uma vez que Stefani Germanotta digivolveu para Lady GaGa, não há como voltar atrás. Nenhuma roupa &#8220;normal&#8221; trará o mesmo fascínio que seus &#8220;gaguismos&#8221;.</p>
<p>Por fim, há ainda quem diga que o penteado com franja que Bey usa em uma parte do clipe é uma homenagem à Bettie Page, modelo de pin-ups dos anos 50. Consultamos Bettie e esta foi a sua declaração :</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://burningcity.com/blog/blog_graphics/bettie_page.jpg" alt="" width="235" height="286" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>- Me erra, Beyonça!</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:left;">Bom, agora nos resta avaliar o contra-ataque de GaGa : a canção <em>Telephone.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<p style="text-align:left;">Que Deus nos proteja&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><em><br />
</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-491" title="katy" src="http://vescomoeresunazorra.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/katy.jpg" alt="katy" width="450" height="298" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKHASDlRFRI" target="_blank">Ver I kissed a girl versión jazz</a></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>La mujer con los ojos más grandes del pop hace por fin su debut en este blog. Y esta vez no se trata de una payasada de las suyas (tirarte encima de una tarta solo es gracioso si estás gorda), sino de la poquísima vergüenza que tiene la tipa al grabar un Unplugged. Debe ser que los regalan, porque no se nos ocurre nadie menos adecuado para un concierto acústico. Bueno sí, Britney, pero ella cree que las guitarras son atrezzo para hacerte sesiones de fotos fálicas cuando tienes 17 años.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>En defensa de Katy, hay que decir que aunque no lo parezca ella compone sus canciones. Eso quieras que no la sitúa a la cabeza de la nueva era dorada del pop que estamos viviendo. Teniendo en cuenta que la única artista blanca en ser #1 en USA durante los 2000 fue Gwen Stefani (que a ver cuando pasa de No doubt y vuelve a vestirse como una mujer), era muy necesario que un nuevo grupo de putillas devolviera el chochi-pop al lugar que le corresponde (nuestros corazones). La diferencia entre las cantantes blancas y las negras es que estas últimas solo tienen una actitud posible: navajera adicta al leopardo. Las blancas tienen menos sentido del ridículo y enseñan las tetas con más facilidad, por lo que su reinado es imprescindible.</p>
<p>A pesar de que la sombra de Lady Gaga es alargada, es cierto que Katy tiene buenos temas, aunque carezcan del halo de acontecimiento que tienen Just dance, Poker face, etc, etc. De hecho Perry es mucho mejor letrista que Gaga, y no solo porque no abusa de cualquier onomatopeya que se le ocurre, sino porque utiliza frases subordinadas. Tiene unos <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-pUaogoX5o" target="_blank">video-cortometrajes</a> bien majos y muchas ganas de ser una estrella de verdad, para lo que se ha construido una estética propia, y ha sabido explotar su vis cómica. Probablemente su falta absoluta de sentido del ridículo hiciera que la gente le tirara chetos en los pasillos del instituto, pero lo bueno de estar maciza es que puedes ser una payasa integral y seguirán queriendo acostarse contigo. Eso, sumado a su obsesión por ser Dita Von Teese (no entendemos quién querría ser algo tan desagradable), convierten a Katy en una mini-estrella con posibilidades, y mira que tenía un rollo <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Onu3ECYDmBM/SIqzT65It7I/AAAAAAAAAVs/H65f3aZJEhg/s400/katy_perry02.jpg" target="_blank">zara trafa</a> intolerabe al principio. Claro que con esas tetas lo único que podía hacer en su vida es hacerse puta o pin-up, y Christina Aguilera ya ha acabado con las existencias de todas las peleterías de Los Ángeles.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>El problema que tiene es que (como todas las verdaderas estrellas) no tiene ni zorra idea de cantar, y encima tiene la desfachatez de hacer una versión jazzy de I kissed a girl, esa canción que en realidad es insoportable y que ensombreció el verdadero TEMAZO de ese disco, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY3CehyfUko">Hot &#8216;n cold</a>. Alguien le ha hecho unos arreglos decentes, y ella va muy apañada para la ocasión con esa estrella de mar en la cabeza, pero comete el error de intentar entonar, con un tema que además tiene una melodía nula. No solo desafina como una <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">perry</span> perra (worst joke ever), sino que encima intenta alardear. Lo dicho, muy poca vergüenza.</p>
<p>El resultado es una actuación más parecida a Labuat que a Ella Fitzgerald, así que esperamos que Katy siga moldeándose el pelo hasta su siguiente disco, donde estamos seguros que habrá al menos una canción que cambie nuestras vidas durante dos semanas.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Larga vida al pop.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>

<p>It&#8217;s always possible that an idea may have been had by someone else previously.  Does it mean that the idea shouldn&#8217;t be brought to life again?  Replication is sometimes said to be a sincere form of flattery, but pure copying without thought is plain lazy.</p>
<p>Classic designs and ideas that stand the test of time must have done so because&#8230;.. well, they&#8217;re classic, they still manage to add something positive to society.  Sometimes a little tweak is needed for the current environment to suit the latest desires, needs, trends and fashion, but isn&#8217;t it beautiful that we can learn and take inspiration from history and make it ours for our time.  Now let&#8217;s go forth and get something good into the back of our trunks&#8230;</p>

<p><em>P.S. Yes this probably was a thinly disguised excuse to post some images of Bettie Page and Dita Von Tesse, don&#8217;t like it?  Well then just whip me.</em></p>
<p><em>P.P.S. I may as well continue and post this cult classic from Agent Provocateur and Kylie Minogue. Stand up if you don&#8217;t like this!</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Basta con il nudo e crudo della lapdance. E con le ragazze anni 90, fredde e maledette. Si torna ai formosi anni 50, con uno streap tease elegante e ironico. Due le regole: sul palco calze a rete e giarrettiere, tra il pubblico urla e fischi. Per le donne c&#8217;è aria di rivincita. «Tutto è stato scoperto, anche troppo. Ora sta qui la vera trasgressione».</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-844" title="accademiadelburlesquembs_intero" src="http://contentistheking.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/accademiadelburlesquembs_intero.gif?w=299" alt="accademiadelburlesquembs_intero" width="299" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Fin da quando ero piccola avevo in testa l’immaginario della dive anni 50, un po’ retrò, con quei tratti esteriori accentuati, le giarrettiere, i bustini allungati con i reggicalze, insomma la guêpière con quei lacci chiusi sulla schiena, e poi le calze a rete, dettaglio fondamentale nel burlesque quasi una regola, i tacchi a spillo, i guanti, le movenze sensuali, lo sguardo, il trucco, i vestiti ammiccanti e seducenti. Ho ritrovato questo immaginario in rete scoprendo il burlesque, mi ha conquistata definitivamente ed eccomi qui all&#8217;Accademia del Micca&#8221;. Margot, perugina, è una delle cinque ragazze italiane che ha passato la selezione annuale per diventare una miss burlesque sul palco del Micca Club di Roma. Ora sta provando in attesa dell&#8217;esordio di lunedì.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cosa è il burlesque? È una forma di intrattenimento sexy e glamour sulla falsa riga dello spogliarello, è la moda del momento, ma anche un revival perchè rimanda allo streap tease americano anni 50 importato dalla Londra vittoriana di fine ottocento. Dentro puoi trovarci anche atmosfere da vaudeville e cabaret tra Pigalle e Quartiere Latino, perchè il burlesque è uno spettacolo circense, da pantomima: sul palco si mischiano generi e stili, e le ragazze incarnano insieme la vamp, la femme fatale e la pin up. Non è lo spogliarello nudo e crudo, ma una performance. Sotto il vestito c&#8217;è un corpo diverso dalle modelle in carne (poca) e (molte) ossa, qui esplode la femminilità. Non importa che siano maggiorate, è la femminilità che viene amplificata. Il burlesque è uno spettacolo ricco di sorrisi e sfarzo, un paradosso visto che alle origini era definito come le foliès dei poveri, cioè povero rispetto all&#8217;intrattenimento colto come il teatro, proprio per la presenza delle donnine che si spogliavano.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Perchè Margot ha scelto il Burlesque? «È il ruolo che ricopri, se fossi stata una lapdancer sarei diventata un oggetto, qui invece sei tu che domini e giochi e guidi tutto quanto. E lo fai con ironia, con distacco. Non c’è strumentalizzazione. Il burlesque sta uscendo fuori dalla nicchia, spero non diventi commerciale, ma che rimanga speciale. Perchè è una rivincita al femminile. Oggi andare oltre il limite ha portato dei cambiamenti alle radici della sensualità. È necessario un ritorno controcorrente, qualcosa che sia riconducibile al passato, più naturale, questa è la vera trasgressione. Arrivati a certi livelli di estremità, a me il burlesque sembra un ritorno quasi necessario. Tutto è stato scoperto in questi anni, direi anche troppo». Una sensualità troppo schiacciata? «Sì, ora c’è bisogno di curve. Tra anoressiche e modelle magrissime, meglio il burlesque».</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Chi c&#8217;è tra il pubblico del burlesque? «Ogni volta che sono andata a vedere gli spettacoli di burlesque mi sono ritrovata in mezzo a molte ragazze e a molte donne. Qui non si trovano in soggezione, al contrario degli altri streap. Perchè la donna sul palco gioca anche con le spettatrici, e viceversa. La donna si rispecchia. Vorrebbe essere anche lei così, semplice e naturale mostrando una sensualità forte. Ognuna di loro sogna di essere Dita Von Teese, e sanno che ognuna potrebbe tranquillamente esserlo». Dita Von Teese è la regina americana del revival del Burlesque, una donna molto ammirata per la sua bellezza, di recente Wonderbra l&#8217;ha scelta affidandole una collezione di corpetti. Ma il vestirsi burlesque non richiede molta preparazione? «Sì, certo, ma nel curarsi c’è molta più naturalità che nel darsi nuda e cruda».</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A guidare l&#8217;accademia del Micca è Mademoiselle Agathe, francese, una donna esile a confronto con le misure generose del burlesque ma con charme da vendere, che sta organizzando anche il festival internazionale a dicembre, con star dal mondo anglosassone e Usa: «Nel burlesque non c’è volgarità ma ironia, non c’è gratuità, viene fuori una immagine molto positiva della donna. C&#8217;è l&#8217;istinto ma anche il senso dell&#8217;attesa dello spogliarello. Parla alle donne innanzitutto perché il vestito è stupendo e lo fa con una certa eleganza. La mia soddisfazione è quando vedi che le donne si interessano, e hanno voglia di rifarlo. Siamo troppo presi dalla tv e da quell&#8217;immaginario che si dice sexy ma in realtà è duro e meno naturale. Col burlesque prima mi vesto poi mi spoglio, finisco nuda è vero, ma lo faccio con stile, con una certa idea in testa. Il burlesque poi provoca un senso di emulazione molto forte, la gente si iscrive ai nostri corsi, abbiamo ricevuto richieste di serate anche dalla lontana Puglia». Che successo ha avuto in Italia il burlesque? «Qui a Roma, è un delirio, ma anche a Milano hanno una bella scena. All&#8217;inizio il pubblico non aveva capito che si poteva anche urlare, fischiare, insomma partecipare. Poi l&#8217;entusiasmo è arrivato da sè».</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Urla e fischi fanno parte dello spettacolo, anzi sono delle regole classiche come le calze e le giarrettiere. Più si urla più la donna sul palco si spoglia. Il rumoreggiare del pubblico deve accompagnare tutti i passi dell&#8217;intrattenimento, in attesa dello spogliarello finale.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Per Grace Hall, romana, anche lei tra le cinque selezionate, il burlesque «ti elettrizza, ti manda in scena con un costume che esalta la tua femminilità, o il modello di femminilità con cui vuoi giocare, ma poi bisogna saper togliere proprio questo, senza rinunciare alla femminilità. Non a caso, si chiama arte dello spogliarello. Sono un&#8217;attrice, ho studiato danza e canto, e le forme di cabaret mi hanno sempre incuriosito. Il mese di casting, è stato rigoroso, c’erano tante altre ragazze, e per ognuna c&#8217;è stato un appuntamento». Cosa cerca Grace nel burlesque? «Oggi si è persa la voglia di stupire con una sensualità che è diversa da quella degli anni 90 con quelle donne dall&#8217;aria e dall&#8217;aspetto maledetto, androgine, fredde. Bisogna riscoprire il sorriso, la dolcezza, l&#8217;ironia che veniva esaltata nell&#8217;immaginario degli 50. La seduzione non è essere un oggetto, ma esserne partecipi. Le pin up come Bettie Page erano attive, lanciavano un messaggio di seduzione e di ironia. Il burlesque è differente da uno spogliarello classico dalla lap dance. La donna qui ha una fortissima complicità con lo spettatore. Senti le urla i fischi ma non sono mai volgari. E tutto questo piace soprattutto alle donne, vorrebbero essere lì al nostro posto. La donna si è bella che rotta le scatole di certi costumi. Ovunque ti giri per vendere qualsiasi cosa c’è un corpo nudo. Una figura passiva. Qua la donna è donna, il cento per cento della femminilità. La sensualità viene afforntata in diversi modi. Bisogna avere un talento, anche comico, immaginarsi dentro un movimento particolare, sensuale, studiato. Non è spogliarsi e sculettare e basta. È l&#8217;esaltazione della femminilità e l’uomo ti contempla, come dovrebbe essere sempre, mentre ora non ci si capisce più niente».</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Per dare un&#8217;idea di come il burlesque abbia fatto breccia nelle donne, Mademoiselle Agathe, coccolandosi le sue ragazze, racconta che «quest&#8217;anno al casting molte ragazze sono arrivate preparate. Alcune a malincuore le abbiamo dovute lasciare fuori. Segno però che hanno avuto modo di vedere i filmati, imparare le movenze, immaginare uno spettacolo, darsi una indentità burlesque».</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Per Alessandro Casella, stilosissimo direttore creativo, dj lounge e sixties, anima del Micca Club, non si tratta di una vera rivincita delle donne: «La rivincita è soprattutto su un certo tipo di donne che fanno lapdance, o che in teatro o in tv appartengono a una iconografia stereotipata. Il burlesque aiuta a sdoganare le misure che appartengono alla femminilità, come quelle di Dirty Martini: formosa, alta, una donnona insomma, ed è questo che fa esplodere i suoi spettacoli. Ho scoperto il burlesque in America andando a mettere i dischi. Era dieci anni fa. Mai avrei pensato di fare o vedere uno spettacolo così a Roma. Oltre all&#8217;accademia che forma delle professioniste, abbiamo aperto una scuola per tutti». E le donne tra il pubblico? «La spiegazione è semplice. La maggior parte dei chitarristi rock sono uomini. Loro non vedono più la donna oggetto, ma pensano: vorrei fossi io, a truccarmi così e sedurre così, facendo vedere poco se non con l’immmaginazione». E le parrucche, i corsetti e i frustini? «La donna non ha perso la sua femminilità nell’intimità, ma tu dagli un personaggio da interpretare, con cui giocare e vedrai. Non è un recupero di qualcosa che si è perso, il burlesque usa le armi che le donne utilizzano solo in privato».Ora però si va scena.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Seriously. </strong></span>Analgesics and opioids. I feel like I am sedated right now. Of course I am on my third vodka martini. I call it a martini but it&#8217;s just vodka swished around in some ice and poured into a glass. Euphoria.</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Saturday night. </strong></span>Kids are gone. I am waiting for my BF to get back from a night with the boys. A short night. We have the house and we need to catch up on some medical procedures.</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>While I am typing this I am watching the movie, <em>&#8220;The Notorious Bettie Page&#8221;.</em> </strong></span>Pretty interesting. I hardly even notice that it&#8217;s in black and white. I think it keeps changing into color and then back again. Marvin thinks its abnormal. It&#8217;s just costumes, she says. I think it&#8217;s ok. She was cutting edge&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Good vodka. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>The movie is talking about taking a vacation.</strong></span> Florida of all places! I am there. There is nothing like having drinks on the beach near the ocean!</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Here&#8217;s a pic.</strong></span> Let&#8217;s all pretend together.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3257" title="PC300371" src="http://masnstevy.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/pc300371.jpg" alt="PC300371" width="495" height="371" /></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Persecution fear complex!</strong></span> Nice word combination. If you know what I&#8217;m talking about&#8230;make a comment.</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Bondage and sexual deviation.</strong></span> I better stop. The 50&#8217;s were quite scandalous. Murder and psychosis&#8230;reminds me of the wax museum. Pure evil.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Bettie Page foi uma mulher ousada e avançada para seu tempo. Seu estilo inclusive é cultuado e reverenciado até hoje, como mostra uma matéria da revista <a href="http://www.walkshow.com.br/materia.asp?c=3362" target="_blank">WalkShow</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3393" title="bettie_page_beach02" src="http://avidaeaobra.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bettie_page_beach02.jpg" alt="bettie_page_beach02" width="449" height="307" /></p>
<p><strong>Bettie Page: a modelo que inspirou Dita Von Teese</strong><br />
<em>Ela criou um estilo de sensualidade cultuado até hoje<br />
</em> <br />
Nos anos 50, enquanto Marilyn Monroe conquistava as telas de cinema com seu charme loiro e sua sensualidade comedida, a modelo Bettie Page chamava a atenção de um público mais ousado pela originalidade de suas fotos e roupas, que marcariam para sempre o padrão de beleza das garotas dos calendários da época, chamadas de pin ups. Ela fez diversas fotos encenando o sadomasoquismo e expôs sua nudez com o atrevimento que viria a personificar a mulher independente do pós-guerra.</p>
<p><strong>Dita Von Teese: herdeira</strong></p>
<p>No próximo dia 11 de dezembro será completado um ano da morte de Page, mas sua ausência não significa que seu legado esteja esquecido. Cada vez mais casas noturnas brasileiras incluem shows burlescos inspirados na musa, com mulheres vestidas com roupas no estilo de cinco décadas atrás e misturando dança e erotismo no palco.</p>
<p>O principal expoente contemporâneo dessa arte é a norte-americana Dita Von Teese, que apresentou recentemente no Brasil o espetáculo “Be Cointreauversial”, em show reservado para 400 convidados, em São Paulo. Em comum com a precursora Bettie, Teese traz uma silhueta mais curvilínea que foge do padrão atual de magreza e um guarda-roupas repleto de saias rodadas, vestidos cheios de laços e o inconfundível batom vermelho, no melhor estilo retrô.</p>
<p><strong>De mulher imoral à devota</strong></p>
<p>Se hoje os shows sensuais são comuns, Bettie Page pode ser considerada uma mulher vanguardista, pois enfrentou preconceitos e perseguições por causa de suas fotos. O caso de intolerância mais notório vivido por ela foi quando o então presidente do Senado dos EUA Carey Estes Kefauver, contrário às fotografias de Irving Klaw, para as quais posou, acusou a modelo de promover a imoralidade.</p>
<p>Mas, enquanto a parcela mais puritana da população americana condenava seu trabalho, a pin up ia ganhando mais admiradores e a atenção de várias publicações da época como Eyeful, Beauty Parade ou Wink. Em janeiro de 1955, ela viveu seu auge, sendo a capa da revista Playboy. No mesmo ano recebeu das mãos de Hugh Hefner, dono da publicação e seu grande incentivador, o título de Miss Pin Up Girl do Mundo.</p>
<p><strong>Transformação em ícone</strong></p>
<p>Bettie Page também vivia controvérsias em sua vida pessoal, pois chocava famílias como a sua, ou seja: interioranas e muito religiosas. Talvez por causa de suas origens, após o boom de sua carreira, ela tenha se tornado uma mulher reclusa e muito devota, que evitava aparecer na mídia. Com tal atitude, ela imortalizou sua imagem jovem e contestadora nos holofotes, transformando-se em um ícone feminino atemporal.</p>
<p>Para conhecer melhor essa figura, basta assistir ao filme “The Notorious Bettie Page”, lançado em 2005 e dirigido por Mary Harron. O longa-metragem retrata a trajetória de vida da garota que partiu rumo à Nova York decidida a mudar de vida e que, um dia, passeando pela praia, encontrou um fotógrafo amador para o qual aceitou fazer as poses que a levariam para o estrelato.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So basically you owe me. But what else is new? I went to the library tonight to make some copies, decided to use the downstairs copier, much more secluded, down in the basement by the vertical files. No one else around, well, except for D (remember D &#8211; the very enthusiastic orientation leader?) I brought more pictures to copy from home, but the library closed early&#8230; There I was leafing through page after page of neked flesh, D rustling around in the background; I was beginning to realize than naked women look three to ten times more naked when viewed in the college library. I was just getting to Bettie Page when the librarian shut off the copy machine.</p>
<p>I hope you don&#8217;t find the Greek erotic art too graphic &#8211; I tried to find images of interaction &#8211; and didn&#8217;t send any of the phallus triumphant in its lonely bulging splendor&#8230; that is to say: little statues of giant penises. But just say the word, they too can be yours &#8211; only ten cents a copy.</p>
<p>All that erotica is either impossible to find or expensive as hell &#8211; bad erotica is easier to find &#8211; but basically you&#8217;re stuck with either: R rated movies or Glad-ta-meetcha beaver spreads. Either boring, mass-produced prefab microwaveable Hollywood smut or smut &#8211; plain dirty smut. However, rich , powerful businessmen will pay $1000.00 AN HOUR to be dressed in rubber, tied up, and tortured. So just move out here to the East Coast, get some eight inch leather, lace-up heels, a few corsets, and you&#8217;ve got it made. You&#8217;ll soon be able to afford all the smut you can handle.</p>
<p>Hang in there, try to get some sleep, for god&#8217;s sake, and don&#8217;t do anything I would do. Or, um, don&#8217;t do anything I want to do. No, wait, try ot do only what you should do, and spend the rest of the day hiding in your house. No, that&#8217;s no good&#8230; Well, after several tries I give up. I have no sensible advice to offer in this letter, mainly because I feel like I&#8217;m about to pass out. Too much salt or msg in the stir fry perhaps?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll probably wait a few days at least before sending this most recent communication &#8211; wouldn&#8217;t want to cause an overdose. Yes, I must admit I do pack an almost hallucinatory mind altering wallop. Hang with me babe and I&#8217;ll rock your world&#8230; (yeah, whatever.)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/VAiIyDXP4us&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/VAiIyDXP4us&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>El termino Burlesque se refiere a espectáculos teatrales, que suelen consistir en historietas de parodia. Si bien algunos autores afirman que burlesque es un descendiente directo de la Comedia del arte, el término &#8216;burlesque&#8217; para una parodia o la comedia de costumbres aparece casi al mismo tiempo que la primera aparición de la commedia dell&#8217;arte.</p>
<p><a href="http://img263.imageshack.us/i/oldburl.jpg/"><img src="http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/2850/oldburl.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Surgida en el siglo XIX, del music hall y de espectáculos de vodevil (vaudeville), en los comienzos del siglo XX surge el burlesco populista como una mezcla de sátira, performance, y entretenimiento para adultos.</p>
<p>El Nuevo Burlesque ha adoptado muchas formas, pero todas tienen el rasgo común de honrar a uno o más encarnaciones anteriores del género, incluidos strippers, trajes caros&#8230; Hay modernos artistas burlesque y espectáculos en todo el mundo, así como convenciones anuales.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/9xgwusoPC2A&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/9xgwusoPC2A&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>El burlesque en esencia es sexual y no sexista: es la representación absoluta<br />
del poderío de la carne femenina. En el burlesque reside la raíz del modelo de sensualidad femenina, en positivo y en negativo, que el cine se encargaría de construir y fijar , si la vertiente recatada eran las Ziegfeld Follies, la perversa era la femme fatale, cuya representación se reelaboraría mucho, desde Mae West en los 30 a Jane Mansfield en los 50,  pasando por Betty Boo.<br />
Pero a parte de estas aportaciones, el burlesque como espectáculo no encontraría su acomodo en Hollywood ni en los grandes estudios. Era demasiado vicioso.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Bp0XA6snai8&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Bp0XA6snai8&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p><a href="http://img263.imageshack.us/i/burlesqueleadwideweb470.jpg/"><img src="http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/9339/burlesqueleadwideweb470.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>En los 50, el burlesque viviria una nueva mutación en su representación de la mano de Bettie Page saltó a la palestra primero como pin-up y después como burlesque performer. Así que Bettie es ya una modelo renombrada cuando conoce en 1951 a los hermanos Irving y Paula Klaw, director de cine y fotógrafa.<br />
Con ellos realiza una serie de sesiones fotográficas de bondage y spanking un subgénero del universo burlesque que no era precisamente el que más brillo daría a<br />
la exitosa carrera de Bettie. Sin embargo, estas fotografías junto con los altísimos tacones de aguja y el flequillo corto y negro conformarían las nuevas señas de identidad de la celebración de la sexualidad femenina. Bettie devendría un icono que inauguraría el burlesque contemporáneo.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Ym9zMLAyaWI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Ym9zMLAyaWI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Bettie asomaría en el cine primeramente en los cortos &#8216;Bettie and her high heel shoes&#8217; y &#8216;Bettie gets bound and kidnapped&#8217; destinados a la venta por correo. Tras ellos, Klaw rueda los largometrajes &#8216;Strip-O-Rama&#8217; (junto a Lily St. Cyr), &#8216;Varietease&#8217; y &#8216;Teaserama&#8217; (con Tempest Storm).</p>
<p>Como en los films burlesque de los 40, se respeta el set teatral y la estructura en base a episodios, pero las coreografías son mucho más carnales debido a que son filmadas en rabioso Eastman Color.</p>

<p>En 1969, la pornografía dura era asequible y los espectáculos burlesque en vivo reciben menos atención.<br />
El espíritu burlesque se mantiene vivo a través del circuito de cine de serie B,<br />
que bajo la categorización específica de sexplotation ofrece un producto de tono softcore . El striptease y el desnudo se humorizan ahora muchísimo.</p>

<p>A mediados de los 70, ya estamos metidos de lleno en el burlesque contemporáneo estrenado por Bettie Page. Ha sido tal el poder icónico de Bettie que el universo burlesque reposa desde entonces en este referente estético.</p>
<p>Por otro lado, la reivindicación de la contracultura en los 70 hace que el influjo del burlesque se atomice y trascienda los campos en los que había operado hasta ahora (el mundo del espectáculo y el cine). Y será el Rock and roll quien abrace con entusiamo la tradición burlesque .</p>
<p>La pareja Posion Ivy y Lux Interior de su propia banda, The Cramps, entiende el sexo vivo como un acto supremo de liberación de un sistema social al que molesta su exhibición pública. Poison Ivy, además, cumple con empeño y en todos los sentidos las características de una burlesque queen.</p>
<p>Los Cramps son una importante clave en la reivindicación y transmisión del burlesque en la segunda mitad del s.XX. Su construcción estética ceremonió el matrimonio oficial del burlesque con las escenas rockabilly y<br />
psychobilly , tan de moda hoy en dia.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Sexy Bettie Bettie Page (April 22, 1923 – December 11, 2008) was an American model who became famous]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_558" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-full wp-image-558" style="display:inline;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;" title="bettie" src="http://ankmorpork.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/bettie.jpg" alt="bettie" width="300" height="450" align="left" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sexy Bettie</p></div>
<p><strong>Bettie Page</strong> (April 22, 1923 – December 11, 2008) was an American model who became famous in the 1950s for her fetish modeling and pin-up photos. She has often been called the &#8220;Queen of pinups&#8221;.<sup> </sup>Her look, including her jet black hair and trademark bangs, has influenced many artists.</p>
<p>She was also one of the earliest Playmates of the<a title="Playmate" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playmate"> Month</a> for <em><a title="Playboy (magazine)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playboy_%28magazine%29">Playboy</a></em> magazine. &#8220;I think that she was a remarkable lady, an iconic figure in pop culture who influenced sexuality, taste in fashion, someone who had a tremendous impact on our society,&#8221;<sup> </sup><em>Playboy</em> founder Hugh Hefner told the Associated Press.</p>
<p>Her later life was marked by depression, violent mood swings and several years in a state mental institution. In the 1960s, she converted to Christianity and served as a Baptist missionary in Angola.<sup> </sup>After years of obscurity, she experienced a resurgence of popularity in the 1980s and has a significant cult following.</p>
<blockquote><p>In a 1998 interview with <em>Playboy</em>, she commented on her career:</p>
<blockquote>
<div>
<p>I never thought it was shameful. I felt normal. It&#8217;s just that it was much better than pounding a typewriter eight hours a day, which gets monotonous.</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p>&#8220;She had a saucy innocence that is both contemporary and provocative, and also nostalgic.&#8221;<br />
<span style="color:#cc9966;">&#8211; Hugh M. Hefner</span></p>
<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s the perfect combination of sexuality and sensuality. Like Elvis, Montgomery Clift and James Dean, Bettie Page brought something modern to the Fifties.&#8221;<br />
<span style="color:#cc9966;">&#8211; Albert Watson</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8220;Gorgeous with an amazing sense of style! Her magic is transcendent. She&#8217;s in our minds like Marilyn Monroe &#8211; Forever&#8221; &#8212; Todd Oldham<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ever since preschool I&#8217;ve pretty much been a bangs-and-long hair sort of girl, with few exceptions.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what happened the last time someone convinced me to get a short haircut with a &#8220;body wave&#8221; perm (as in, &#8220;It&#8217;s just going to add a little volume and body! No curl! You won&#8217;t look like a poodle! I promise you won&#8217;t look like a poodle! I promise!&#8221;):</p>

So there you have it.</p>
<p>The only problem is that I&#8217;m not very good with long hair, so the default coiffure I&#8217;ve been sporting for some time has been the Bettie Page At A Desert Commune In Serious Need Of A Hot Oil Treatment look. Lately, I&#8217;ve been wondering if I should change things up a little.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been going by this hair place in Eagle Rock that seems it might have stylists with some interesting ideas:</p>

<p>What do you think? I&#8217;m wondering if they do complete makeovers.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Visually Aroused<br />
by <a href="http://www.angelacaperton.com">Angela Caperton</a></p>
<p>Context is everything. I happen to think voyeurism and exhibitionism are hotter when they are forbidden.</p>
<p>In today’s world, exposed skin is easy to find. The most innocent Google image search produces pictures that would have blown the mind of the Marquis de Sade. It’s easy to forget just how short a time ago that even a glimpse of printed female pubic hair was enough to arouse the professional interest of policemen and prosecutors. </p>
<p>I set my story “Calendar Girl” (published in <a href="http://peepshowbook.wordpress.com/about"><i>Peep Show</i></a>) in the 1950s, because I wanted to play with the contrast between my heroine’s unexpressed sexuality and the expectations of that more repressed age. So I started with the premise that Desi finds a pin-up calendar with imperfect airbrushing, that the sight of a girl like herself, completely exposed and enjoying it, triggers her own desire to be seen and admired by men. I hope that readers find the resulting story hot!</p>
<p>The 1950s are such a decade of contrasts. Mainstream culture was Ozzie and Harriet, postwar prosperity and unthinking conformity, but popular culture boiled and sizzled with repressed heat – rock and roll, passion pit drive-ins, Beatnik orgies of free thought and free love. Pin-up art was lowbrow culture, although <i>Playboy</i> worked tirelessly to make sex sophisticated. In the rearview mirror though, we have come to appreciate the talent of photographers like Bunny Yeager and the entrepreneurial fervor of guys like Irving Klaw, who helped make the decade sexier and more fun.</p>
<p>I based the photo shoot in my story on sketchy accounts of 50s era “camera clubs,” where amateur models stripped for eager photographers, feeding fantasies both private and public, and I told it through the model’s viewpoint because I wanted to explore the feelings of liberation and power that can come from a woman brave enough to bare herself on her own terms with men who want to share the thrill of her exposure.  </p>
<p>Not long after I submitted this story for consideration in <a href="http://peepshowbook.wordpress.com/about"><i>Peep Show</i></a>, I was saddened to read about the death of Bettie Page. While I didn’t have Bettie in mind when I was writing “Calendar Girl”, there is no doubt that she was the queen of pin-up girls. So much has been written about her and what her iconic image meant to a generation, that I really can’t add anything to the discussion except to say that I admired her courage and her astonishing beauty, and that “Calendar Girl” should rightfully be dedicated to her.</p>

<p>Born in Virginia and later raised on a sailboat, <b>Angela Caperton</b> (”Calendar Girl”) has traveled extensively and appreciates the world in all its forms. Her erotic fantasy, <i>Woman of the Mountain</i>, won the 2008 Eppie for Best Erotica, and she has short stories in <i>Lust at First Bite</i> and <i>Girls on Top</i>.</p>
<p>Read &#8220;Calendar Girl&#8221; by Angela Caperton in the new anthology <i>Peep Show: Tales of Voyeurs and Exhibitionists.</i></a> An excerpt is below.</p>

<p>from &#8220;Calendar Girl&#8221;<br />
by Angela Caperton</p>
<p><i>Charlie appeared like a genie to take the roses and she stood and walked to the screen, her breath faster and the line between her legs sodden and dripping. Desi paused beside the screen, looking at the lurid curtains and the sofa, like something in a sultan’s harem. She thought of the Arabian Nights and the woman who kept herself alive by telling stories, by enchanting a man with her talents.</p>
<p>She thought of April and her nipples tightened.</p>
<p>She shed her blouse, camisole and bra without hesitation, and before she put the blouse back on, she looked at the costumes on hangers behind the screen. Some of the shining fantasies were no bigger than her hand, and her nipples grew as hard as marbles as she imagined herself in glossy black and white, shining patches of satin. She stole a glimpse of herself in the mirror, unable to look directly at her image, the rising curves with dark rigid tips, and her face that of the woman in Bobby’s photos.</p>
<p>She slipped on the sheer blouse and buttoned it to the place Mr. Bentley had asked for, aware of every place the linen touched her, its cling no more than mist, but intense as a warm finger. She stepped from behind the screen, her blood pulsing in her ears, her throat, and her treasure. Almost giddy, she walked toward the men and their cameras.</i></p>
