My Kind of Art
I like Caravaggio’s works over Rubens’. I like the Arts to be a bit valgar.

Dorky Side of Me
A conversation with D:
D: I finished reading Gene Wolfe’s book you recommended.
Me: How did you like it?
D: Loved it. Can’t stop thinking about you.
Me: You’ve had enough of me.
D: Can’t have enough of you.
Me: How so?
D: You are the only woman I know who likes Gene Wolfe.
Black and White Weekend
Irina Ionesco is famous for her nude photography of her muse of a daughter Eva, which caused controversy when exhibited in the 1970’s, Irina’s body of work usually consists of women clad in exquisite and lavish clothing and jewelries, posing in a highly provocative manner. I love that heavy black and white silent film quality all her photos have even though the subject matter is very extreme. The quality of the beauty she depicts is dark hence why I also love this editorial ‘Reconciliation’, where Ionesco has shot a man. The effeminate qualities the styling and the way the photographs have been taken have brought out are strangely attractive. I may even prefer this to her photographs of scantily clad women because they have a more subtle depth to them and the theme of sexual objectification is not as literally portrayed. They’re something to gaze out whilst waiting for 5:30pm to come along and for the weekend to begin!
