furtive bunny rabbits

This is president Thaksin. He was the president of Thailand for a long, long time, considering the fact that Thailand has had more coups than any other country in the last 20 years. Then, when I was there about a year ago, he was deposed in a bloodless military coup. Then he left the country for a while. Now he is coming back as an exile and the new government wants to try him for stealing money from the government. However, most interesting, in my opinion, is this picture (taken from npr.org), in which there are a WHOLE LOT of furtive looks from women behind Thaksin. What is going on? Is this a political photo or a model shoot? sasafras lasagna! I wish I could move Mr. Thaksin out of the way.

a life, in words.

"This is the last of Earth! I am content." a few weeks ago, the idea of a 6 word story about your life was released on npr - . it's a concept that's spread all over the place. i wrote a few. this one is my favorite:

snowflake, beautiful, original; sunlight, strong, piercing

send me your favorite!

igloos, boats and giraffes

a friend, senorita sketchy, asked me yesterday if i thought the female body part most prominently displayed in pornographic films was "made-up." i replied that i thought the skin would be too sensitive for such a treatment. but, nevertheless, it makes me wonder, would you should the same stuff you use on your face for such an area? would someone who pays attention to detail begin doing that before going on a date? would that make-up stay? is this a whole new area of cosmetics that has yet to be tapped? are we onto something?

then i wonder, how would such cosmetics be packaged when the packaging of so many cosmetics and parfums is already sexual? would it be plain to hide its intent? who would sell it? could you get a makeover in much the same way as you do now? so many questions.

conclusion: i hope for more authentic this year, less cyber, more tangible, less possibility, more reality, less made-up, more made.
