choose your fav nudes of all time ?
On a special website of oog the magazine of the Dutch rijksmuseum you can vote for your fav nudes. There are sections on males, females, asses, loincloths, etc.
Some samples:
Adriaan de Lelie, academy anatomy class at the Felix Merites (yes I worked at that building when it was a theater in the eighties)
above a Sebastian with loincloth from a museum in Kansas city USA (typical)
below one from Boymans museum in Rotterdam :
good to see this offensive to get figurative and neoclassixc art, wich has been frowned upon by the international art elite ever since the arrival of photography, back to the status and apreciation it deserves.
more male nudes, we faggots have appreciated all along, on the historic pages of db/queerart, and yes, the highres stuff is in the masterclasscomment?
la vie Jan Roos:
it's a column on BRN radio, and I enjoyed this issue yesterday:
My daughter is called Hanneke and if it would have turned out a son she would have been Karel, just because we like the name. This kind of choice is not open to Dutch Maroccans, who must conform to a namelist issued by their fatherland. As the Maroccan authorities really do their utmost to keep their expats in line, coz, oh, oh, oh, if they dot not watch out they might integrate in the pagan country they reside in and then they might transfer a lot less money to the north African desert. securing the names of northern Africans: utterly un-acceptable and something Dutch aurthorities should really get all fired up about: Infringement of free choice in a democratic country I would say, but no, let's look for a typixcally Dutch weak compromise: Minister of Justice Hirsch Ballin has begged on his naked knees, if, pretty pleaze, if it's not to much trouble, they could allow their children a Dutch second name? He proposes Achmed - Jan as a viable option. Achmed - Jan! In the old days people with a double name
could be found at the tennis, hockey or the golf course. Soon they can also be found all over our penitentiar institutions (jails and police stations, for those who are not educated enough to follow our minister).

Dutch dilemma: what to vote ? There really is no choice when it comes to the next election: Sophie in t Veld is the all time hero when it comes to defending gay rights in new EU coutries like Poland and beyond. But then I'm against her stand of adding more homophobic countries like Turkey to the EU, even though Obama wants us to.
As far as Europe is concerned I only have 2 options left (no not the hyper blonde one) :
I would vote for D66 if only gay issues were my primairy consideration, but they messed up their politcal renewal issue; are all for a bigger europe, I will never forget that their minister of health Els Borst made popers illegal in NL, with the argument that it was agreed EU legislation, so they are now twice as expensive here as in neighbour EU countries, so for once I will move to:
I'm not a smoker, but at least they have a realistic cannabis policy: to legalise growing too, instead of leaving it in criminal hands, totally backfiring, like in USA-prohibition days.
weblog lives up to its name: (doet zijn naam eer)
I'm proud to be able to admit it is the second time in my life that I can (and will) vote for a former fuck-buddy as party/list leader. No, this has nothing to do with outing or cheap tabloid journalism; but it does remind me of fond euforic moments during the darkroom glorydays of legendary Shaft R'dam.
will I be given the chance to go for a hattrick ?

Movie thingies :
Were the world mine: another movie that not only is an ultimate homo feelgood musical thingy (candidate for owee showing, Fred?) It also is up for the Astaire, the oscar for movie dance and choreography
Pedro Zamora : Do you remember the year 1992, and MTV's the real world with the 1st gay hiv patient on a reality show? Not only president Clinton had a role in the movie out now, screenplay was also written by Dustin Lance Black, so it is not only Oscar quality, but guaranteed to get you moved to tears.

Irish sunday worship :
While Obama sits in church and disappoints us on all issues when asked to carry out promises to the gay community:
not lifted the ban on HIV+ tourists already aproved by Senate, Congress and even Bush
no action on abolishing 'Don't ask don't tell' in armed forces.
hiding behind clergy in making distinction between marriage and civil union
miss Clinton on the other hand goes on and does the right thing: this weekend she extended all rights to gay partners working in the diplomatic service !
The nerve those people have, claiming we homos are not part of god's plan, while if there is anything even less in gods plan, if he ever had a plan with humanity in the first place, it surely cannot be nuns starving little girls and caning little boys and then the priests giving their asholess a final blessing with holy manjuice.
The Irish report incomprehensible numbers of child abuse. What's new?
As if we just only now finally grasp that nothing good can come off the roman catholic church nor any other church. How credible are the deliberations of Dutch gay priest Antoine Bodar, that the church will show the path to the ultimate righteousness, while recognising we all are sinners? That path leads nowhere, as far as I'm concerned.
The nuns only did humiliation and corporal punishment, and the boys almost all got sexually abused at all these private institutions run by 'christian brothers' and 'sisters of mercy', hmmm? Of course the report stipulates that due to the lousy separation of church and state there, no furter compensation nor prosecution is to be expected. The most shocking is the cover up and the idea that if you did "holy confession" the priests could just start all over time and again. Of course we also know that this went on in a similar fashion in the Irish-Catholic communities in the Eastern United States. Thank "god" we queens have our own "sisters of perpetial indulgence" One ray of light in this gloom: due to a stronger Europe the times when people still thought there are only two good Catholic communities in Europe, namely in Ireland and in Poland is now definitely a thing of the past.

commercial break
well commercial? I just renewed my 3 years fixed price energy contract with Eneco at an all time low price. Further I've always apreciated Eneco for not going along with the other 2 Dutch e-companies Nuon and Essent, who consistantly went for the super macho image and sponsoring hooligan sports. Which stupidly now seems to have hit them right back in the asshole, as they seem to get taken over by super environmentally unfriendly German giant RWE (fed by greedy former owners: Brabant and Overijssel's delegates).
Further I liked the plan Rem Koolhaas' OMA made for North Sea energy and the commercial our Beau made for zeekracht :
Some authorities maintain that wind energy is a silly idea that will never be competitive, and that may be true for old-tech windfarms, like the ones I saw around Desert Hot Springs, but the huge sea mills, combined with TU-delft designed systems to enable maintainance access until force 9 gails, do tip the balance. Also Eneco gives me back a consumer price for the solar energy I produce and my heating system, which was already pretty efficient, is up for renewal. The new one, also sponsored by them, uses the sun for 1st stage warming of my showers and feeds back surplus warmth into the electricity grid.

alert and a white rabbit
do go watch the HaHaHaHoHoHo: the gayest song my hometown ever produced is online again, most likely only for a short time, coz the record company has (illegally) pulled it off youtube repeatedly!
We probably run a year or so behind on our gay tv channels' episodes of the USA queer as folk series (as we did run a few years ahead with the UK series), but last night I got all drawn back to 1970 as the series brought me to a fairy camp where the main character got fed a mushroom snack (yep, the type just declared illegal in A'dam this year, just in case you didn't know, to discourage all you gay men to visit that once liberal city). No, I'm not into them mushrooms, not even into THC or nicotine, although I did all that back then, but I vividly remember seeing Jefferson airplane (and Pink Floyd and Santana, Byrds, T-rex) live at the 1st Dutch open air festival in Rotterdam:
so no, Im not into over indulgence, hedonism, too much, anymore. Sure I could reduce the alcohol intake some, not because it hinders my functioning but to keep the old weight under control. Nothing too dramatic, but I want to stick to the good old 74 kg, so, if you don't mind, I'm off on my evening run, instead of mindlessly hammering away any further at this keyboard.comment?

gorgeous find :
normally I post something on historic art on tuesdays, becoz I am at teh Vermeer center on wednesday mornings, but that will have to wait becoz I just came across this bit of super sweetness over at regularmotion.net :
If you really cannot handle a classic art cold turkey, and need your fix right here and now, I refer you to my 15 year old standard homepage, which all this time features a monthly classic work (or 2)
It deserves to go straight in at nr.1 on the HaHaHaHoHoHo, but sadly, pathetically, yep it's the american nudity paranoya again, it is of course not on youtube comment?

it's good to be back :
enjoyed the report on the return of Arie Boomsma to EO radio and TV, especially the song the VARA used as background:
now let's wait and see if our homo church has the guts to re-find solidarity with other sexual minorities without thinking it is "sane market strategy" to put down and distance yourself from people who are even worse off then us.

oh how I love this :
All these nerds that have bought Apple phones, now find themselves victim of even more stupid neo-religious censorship than the historic mistake that bancrupted the Philips V2000 system back in the seventies by prohibiting porn on their tapes.
The newspaper app has been forced to ommit the SUN from their package becoz hey have naked breasts on page 3; the Nine inch Nails app is forbidden because they sing FUCK in one of their songs. (even more hypoctite becoz the apple store has Fuck you by Lily Allan, nr 1 in the Duch download chart and FUCK ME by Wendy Ho for sale (of course spelled as F**k me). How sick can you get !
It's good to know that Apple is NOT the progressive company some suppose it to be. They are just as sick as the 911 phone operater who thought it was apropriate to let a father die when a panicking 16 year old used the F word when she called for an ambulance. He got fired, but he would have gotten a medal under Bush I'm sure. Now consumers, let Apple bite the dust : BOYCOT ! au contraire :
MS-NBC did whipe the floor with a stupid Cali Bimbo, who was tricked , she thinks, in showing how ignorant and bigoted she was on gay marriage:
they finally learned to tacle the FOX loudmouths where it hurts most: hit them with their own tools, and hit them when their're down!comment?

euro song 1st semifinal
what I liked most on the first semifinal nite was the red army choir: most hot men of the night on stage, love their caps!
what I hated most: the two presenters: why do they always think they have to continuously scream in eastern europe: are their microphones or sound technicians that bad?
and let me just add this great song about gay rights in Russia by Bluelips, recorded 30 years ago in Amsterdam but just as valid today:
and I'm sure we let Alexander Rybak, the violin sweety from Norway, win :

Weird, weird, weird, that Europe´s gayest tv event of the year in 2009 comes from the most notoriously anti gay city.
As the USA asks the white house to stick to its election promisses on gay rights in marriage and armed forces we here fight our own media battle :
NL has entered a trio which includes our bitchiest loudmouthest gay star, who already threatened to walk away if the gay pride parade this saturday will not be able to proceed in peace. Our minister of Education and Culture has declared support for Gordon, as did the national tv-broadcaster, who now threatens to not even show the finale if the gay parade goes wrong. It might pull some viewers and votes, but just as easy lose even more, knowing views on gay rights in Poland, the Baltics, Belarus, Rumania, Turkey.
Well at least with the latter it will mean they will not be permitted to be part of the EU.
Wonder why the Turks over the past years have been the most fanatical eurosong voters? Must mean they have more gays then they're willing to admit. The Turks also are best spread over the various EU countries. While we Dutch are not allowed to bring out a vote for our own country, Turks in Germany, Holland, France can and will. Luckily most of their entries have been so awful that they still did not win for a decade non-stop. Popularity in the Western European countries has dwindeled considerably as the new eastern EU countries have won now for a decade nonstop due to all their in-breed-voting.
The Russians should realise that generations of eurogays have made the event the worldwide viewer magnet only rivaled by the world soccer finals. Besides, in times of recession the homos are one of the groups that will not only continue to shine shine shine, but also spend, spend, spend !
but then, I still like this shine a lot better.
And if I am permitted to choose a winner . . . Musical buff Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and super camp BBC queen Graham Norton have joined forces to get the UK to win this year with this gorgeous song:
also am in awe of the French entry, a nice classic powersong:
and greece just entered their hottest male body:
And before I melt down completely in sweet sillyness: don't ever think the Eurovision songcontest is me. I'd rather identify with the song I saw done live, more ass-kickin then ever, on the BEEB yesterday:
also saw these two, just as fresh as when they first sang it, some 40 years ago:

take it or leave it (translated from VK may 8th page 3
a Belgian journalist reviewed the citizenship course, everybody who wants to reside in Holland long-term has to take since 2006. About the movie that's part of the course:
In vain he waited 100 minutes for the recipe of the sauce the Dutch throw over cauliflower or the one for "oliebollen", the fatty-dough-balls we traditionally eat en-massse on new years eve. But he did learn that, contrary to in Flanders, here it is appreciated and in many cases obligatory to vent your positive but even more so your negative opinions on and to others. You're supposed to shake hands with and congratulate everybody at birthdayparties, kiss old aquaintances superficially on alternate cheeks three times, and if you leave parties early, do it as noisily and cumbersome as possible. Clichees about tulips and wooded shoes are absent, but you do get a thorough insight in the education and health care systems. He doubts the use of introducing the bicycle, as every imigrant up until the third generation refuses to lift his ass onto those paddle things and considers it totally un-cool.
He finds the movie a kind of last warning: those who pass beyond this point better agree to these Dutch characteristics or forever hold their tongues and swallow complaints on marriage into Dutch culture. Four minits into the movie we're deep into the polders that are up to 7 meters below sea level. The corresponding sea shot: a well endowed (in the breast area) nude girl in the surf telling the implicit message: that is normal on our beaches.
He concludes: the Belgians should have a good look at this course and he's afraid the Belgian minister of integration might fail the test.comment?

updates on the HaHaHaHoHoHo : the traavaas have it . . .
even though our city's export in the field (above) retired last week
Great new dance stuff of which I'm happy to say, no matter if it comes from Ru Paul (who dumped her female voice, if she ever had one, but not the wigs), Amanda Lapore (who lifted everything one more time) or the Petshop Boys, it sounds more and more like the good old Italo/Euro house we had some 2 decades ago.

Brent Corrigan on the producer's view on porn AUDIO :
From a director’s standpoint, there are few things I might add to a scene. First, the soundtrack: I know, all across the board, our scenes at Prodigy need to focus on The Sounds of Sex. Making sex sound good is probably one of the greatest challenges in porn. There’s a fine line between the sound of pain and pleasure, for a lot of people. A director like me really can’t put words into the mouth of a performer, because that takes away the genuine aesthetic that my productions hinge so importantly on. And getting an amateur model to suddenly and miraculously become more vocal (something most young people just simply are not when it comes to the act of sex) is damn near impossible without making them feel uncomfortable. For the sake of amateur, professional amateur porn I think sound is one of those negotiable components.
The trouble might be, however, that maybe not everyone who masturbates to porn is looking to be as observant. So if an enthusiastic vocality isn’t apparent in the scene, the viewer might get the impression that the boys bonin’ on the screen are bored.
here's a Brent short, that shows he can do a bit of non porn narrative quite convincingly (and fuck porn hypocrite Michael Lucas to smithereens):
DoorQ = great and may protect us from gay intolerant sensoring at Youtube
I used to add music soundtrax, with dance mixes to my own porn VHS tapes back in the Jack Wrangler and Jeff Stryker days: Porn audio was just HORRIBLE then; nothing but YEAAH YOU WANT THAT, even looped! Dhuh!?

but we also could show this oder dieses und natuerlich Ich weiss . . .
I also heard a story of a British pilot who listened to the radio while he was dropping Swedish white bread for the starving Dutch days before the libaration. He heard Wagner's Pilgrim Choir, from Tannhauser. Listen to it on your headset; a gorgeous recording!

WW II memorial day in NL:
Just heard Martin Ross, my sunday mp3 fixture about books, emotionally (in tears) recollecting the dramatic Nazi revenge in his hometown Putten.
Time for a little ad on an ultimately fitting dramatic movie tonight after the national silence at 20h50 on our gay tv channel (727 ziggo, 960 UPC)
Niche market tv finally is getting out of the out of its diapers in NL; good that is is now in the broad digital package and no longer in the exclusive separate-pay offer with LinQ magazine; now if only they would get rid of that loudmouth screaming: "out-tv jouw gay lifestyle tv zender", followed by the Rick and Steve trailer on their website: Horrible! It's a very touching gay love and betrayal story (nr 18 in my all time list) that leads to an unavoidable ultimate dramatic conclusion, continuously kept light hearted by this almost nauseatingly uplifting song by Charles Trenet, that I still remember from when I was a toddler and my mother singing it along with the radio, which was always tuned to KRO's Moeder's wil is wet when she was vacuuming the living room :
sorry, but I do feel like sentimentally quitely weeping, now we may have to cancel the reception for my parents 60-st wedding anniversary as he's been taken to hospital, because of a stroke she had last night.comment?
remarkable :
While many Dutch orgs like COC's and DWH

Ships that pass in the night

So on the ocean of life we pass
Only a look and a voice;
