Emotions Dance Company says Hello, and Goodbye

With every show, with every season, with every year Emotions Dance goes through expected and unexpected changes. After a very successful Artsfest 2010 performance of Muddle and topped off with an exceptional experience at Orlando’s Nude Nite, we were ready for some much needed breathing, and creative time. As with every “break” between shows, we scope Orlando for new and refreshing talent. Emotions Dance added three new company members, Amanda Miller, Lorien McDavid and Stephanie Hayes. All have exceptional artistic and technical talent and I am so pleased to have them on board as company members. We also had shocking news and had to say goodbye to one of Emotions first company members. Alicia Klenk, who had been part of Emotions Dance since it’s conception in July of 2007, had to retire from Emotions Dance company due to a debilitating hip injury. Alicia performed over 10 different concerts, events, and performances with Emotions Dance throughout her 3 years and we will be sad to see her go. She is, along with other retired company member, Alexis Bohrnstedt- Rapp, now a member of Emotions Dance Board of Directors and will still be an active part in the company endeavors.

Changes occur throughout everyone’s life, situation, environment. Change can be difficult, but also help people grow into something better. Emotions Dance is sad to say goodbye to some great members, but is also very excited to embrace new company members as well. Look for our new dancers in our next performance Untold Stories 2, which will premiere in May of 2010

Photo at weekend (2010, Week 11)

Wikimedia Commons describes Jean Agélou (1878-1921) briefly as a photographer who “produced nude and risque photographs from 1900 until about 1917. Jean Agélou published most of his nudes under the initials JA. His most famous model was a woman known as “Fernande”.” It is notable that the first illustration in the article on Erotica in Wikipedia is one of the Jean Agélou’s Fernandes. “Miss Fernande” is considered as a kind of erotic icon celebrated in Europe in the first decades of the 20th century. Here is one quote from the website devoted to her:

Little is known about the lovely Fernande, not even her last name (the postcards only indicate “Miss Fernande”). Though she is largely forgotten today, her photographs are still collected worldwide by an ardent following.

It is believed that she was born about 1892 in Paris, France. She was a beautiful model for Jean Agelou in the 1910’s and apparently into the 1920’s. She lived downtown Paris in a hotel just two doors away from Jean Agelou’s studio. There exist different versions and ideas about her real name and origin. Nothing is known for sure. Somebody calls Miss Fernande the First Lady of Erotica. Her beauty survived in that French postcards. But what if she didn’t dare to participate in risqué modeling jobs?

God Wants to Become Man - But Not Quite

Today’s photo could be considered to be nothing but an act of flashing.  Yet, in my opinion it is more about affirmation.  I have reclaimed my “self” from the collective where I was defined by my various personae.  I have reclaimed the depth of “self” that allows me to cease being a victim or a perpetrator.  This is who I am on the outside.  I am not about name brand clothing or name brand religion or system of economics.  I am a man.

I have “doctored” the photo using software (obviously) in order to make the photo less about exhibitionism and more about symbolism.  The focus on blue allows the sense of consciousness to emerge out of unconsciousness.  The original idea for the photo was based on The Vitruvian Man and on Jourard’s book, The Transparent Self.  As I continue to say, my photos are all about symbolism, about the opportunity to discover self, and self in relation to other.

“Je pense, donc je suis” better known as “I think, therefore I am” “Cogito ergo sum” are words that are relatively famous, words spoken by René Decartes in 1637 about the time my ancestors were making their way to New France (Canada).  This is the only truth any of us really knows, the fact of our own personal beingness.  It is only through an emerging personal consciousness of “self” that the world and “otherness” begins to take shape.  As one thinks the relationship to otherness expands and becomes:  “I think, therefore I am, therefore you are, therefore God exists.”  Without consciousness, there is nothing else.

“Incarnation thus understood becomes an alternate description of what Jung means by “the relativity of God” (Jung, 1921, pp. 242–244; 1954, p. 381). Put succinctly, Jung is contending that only in human consciousness can God become self-conscious

and so relativized, at least, in relation to a God conceived as an absolute and transcendent self-sufficient divinity “wholly other” than the human (Jung, 1953, p. 11, n. 6). The “relativity of God,” thus understood, also provides the deepest meaning of human suffering. Relativization implies that divinity must divest itself of its transcendent remove and suffer in historical humanity the resolution of its unresolved eternally conflicted life. It is no wonder that Jung (1954) would write that “God wants to become man but not quite” (p. 456). Even for deity things were less painful in eternal but unconscious bliss. With the realization that the pain of becoming conscious is the same pain in the human and the divine, humanity has  to face the fact that its deepest historical meaning and suffering is the redemption of God at the insistence of a God who creates human consciousness as the only locus in which the divine self-contradiction can be perceived and resolved.” (Dourley, “Jung and the Recall of the Gods”, Journal of Jungian Theory and Practice, Vol. 8, No. 1, 2006, pp 45-46)

This is actually quite an understatement for any conscious human (is there any other kind?).  It seems the more we become aware, the more we suffer.  This is why there is a real belief in the expression “ignorance is bliss.”  I have often read the bible as well as a number of other books on religious thought, as well as listening and reading about other stories of creation.  In each of these it is consciousness that marks the beginning of relationship, especially the relationship with self.  Without consciousness, one “is” without awareness of self.  In discovery of self, one then is able to discover others, an act of separation.  Before consciousness, there is no separation between self and other, all just is.  And this includes whatever it is that we call the Divine.  The Divine, God, self and other – all enmeshed without consciousness.  Too much here to think about, to wonder about for a small post.  Perhaps more deserves to be said later.

“In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.” (Bible, Genesis 1)

The beginning – a darkness, a formless void – unconsciousness.  And then there was light – a separation from the darkness – consciousness.  The beginning begins with the dawn of consciousness.  Think about it for a while.  If not, this was not the beginning at all.  How do we account for the creation of darkness, what came before consciousness?  From whence this entity called God?

Times Square Billboard with Vault49

I have a billboard up in Times Square with the famed graphic illustration company, Vault49.  You will remember our many collaborations; Susana Monaco with Mina Cvetkovic, Judith Bedard, London’s Conningsby Gallery with Bekah Jekins, Digital Arts cover with Taylor Warren, Orange Life cover with Taylor Warren and 3D cutouts of a lion.

Here is an ad we did for Wrigley’s Gum.  I went out to Times Square the other day to photograph it in its environment.  It is above the Sephora Store.  Hopefully, we will have a behind the scenes video of the making of it in the future.  We shot a bunch of footage, but I have not followed up on its creation.  It is a very cool process that Vault does.

Thanks!

Hubby forces wife to have sex with 50 men

A Malaysian wife claims she was forced to have sex with more than 50 foreigners after her husband started having erectile problems four years ago.

The 61-year-old woman, identified only as Chia, ran away from her home in Sarawak March 6 and sought refuge with MCA Public Services because she could no longer withstand the “crazy acts” of her 66-year-old husband, the Star Online reports.

The woman said her husband recruited men from nearby rubber estates and supervised her on sexual positions and moves while he videotaped them having sex. He would assault her if she refused to do the acts.

Chia said the abuse started when the widower she married 12 years ago started having erection problems. She only kept silent about the abuses until now because she didn’t want her ill parents to worry about her.

In return for having sex with his wife, Chia’s husband would buy the workers beer or pay their cell phone bills.

It was unclear if charges had been filed against her husband. Public Services is helping Chia seek legal advice.

Esquire PHOTOS: Amanda Seyfried In Lingerie, Body Stocking...Plus Seyfried NUDE...VIDEO

Amanda Seyfried In ‘Esquire’: Dons Lingerie, Body Stocking (PHOTOS)

Amanda Seyfried has a sexy spread in the April issue of Esquire, and in the interview she talks about her raw food diet and her roles in ‘Jennifer’s Body’ and the upcoming ‘Chloe,’ in which she plays a prostitute hired by Julianne Moore.

“It’s intense,” she said of her diet. “And sort of awful. Yesterday for lunch? Spinach. Just spinach. Spinach and some seeds.”

You can read the whole interview and see more pictures here.

It’s her: the twenty-four-year-old actress who emerged from adolescence as the sexy Mormon daughter on HBO’s Big Love. She was the most memorable of Tina Fey’s mean girls, which is to say, the dumb one. The most memorable corpus delicti in last year’s Jennifer’s Body, which is to say, the needy one. The single sunny nod to youth as Meryl Streep’s daughter in the creepily nostalgic vapor that was Mamma Mia! Her days of playing a teenager might have ended, though — just — with her intense and sexy pass as a call girl in Chloe, which opens March 26. Right there in the dim light of a damp afternoon, it’s Amanda Seyfried, peeking into the doorways of businesses that can’t quite decide if they’re open.

Finally she locates a deserted bar that isn’t serving lunch, where she plops down and pulls out a plastic box containing enough tabbouleh to stuff a softball. “I’m on a raw-food diet,” she declares, raising her brows to make her eyes even bigger. “It’s intense. And sort of awful. Yesterday for lunch? Spinach. Just spinach. Spinach and some seeds.” She says the last word, seeds, and leans into the long vowel sound, scrunching her nose, making the word sound like a comic discovery. At times Seyfried traipses along as if she were the only one in the room who doesn’t know she’s adorable.

Look Below for Amanda Seyfried Nude Photos…

American man kills girlfriend and 2 men after walking in on their threesome

A 50-year-old man flipped out and killed his girlfriend and two other men after walking in on them having a threesome at her Brooklyn apartment, police said.

Hours later, the jilted lover admitted to cops he was so furious that he carved up the two mens’ bodies and dumped them somewhere in New Jersey.

“He made statements implicating himself in the deaths,” said NYPD spokesman Paul Browne, regarding the triple homicide at 1518 Eastern Parkway in Brownsville.

It is unclear whether three victims were shot or beaten to death.

The suspect spotted his 51-year-old girlfriend having sex with the two men shortly after midnight and left a voicemail with a friend saying he killed the three of them, cops said.

The message, was passed on to cops, led them to the woman’s first floor pad about 2 p.m. The suspect was found hovering over her dead body in a back bedroom.

He admitted to the murders and was taken to the 73rd Precinct in Brownsville for questioning.

Regine Nole, a 46-year-old home attendant who lives across the street from the murder scene, said the suspect “didn’t look afraid or upset” when cops escorted him out of the building.

“He just put his head down and went into the police car,” Nole said.

Lulu Facey, 30, who lives in an apartment a floor above the murdered woman, said she heard a lot of screaming late last night and “someone yelling ‘Help! Help!’” But Facey did nothing and “went to sleep” because she thought the commotion was over dogs barking at another apartment.

Nole said she heard from neighbors that the woman was “beaten to death.”

“She was dating more than one guy and just moved into this apartment three weeks ago,” she said.

Naked Woman Shops At Louisiana Wal-Mart

A woman who walked through Wal-Mart naked had been released from a local psychiatric ward hours before the incident, according to the Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, Sheriff’s Office.

Employees called a deputy just before 6 p.m. to report the 24-year-old, who was walking completely unclothed in the Martin Luther King Boulevard store’s food section, said Maj. Malcolm Wolfe, a Sheriff’s Office spokesman. When the deputy asked her why she was naked, she replied, “God wanted me to show the world what I really look like,” according to the deputy’s report.

The deputy handcuffed the woman and covered her with a blanket. She was returned to the psychiatric ward at Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center, where she had been released two hours before, Wolfe said.

The report does not indicate how she arrived at the store or when she undressed. No charges were filed.

Rollercoaster Fan Rides Naked For Charity

A rollercoaster fanatic has let it all hang out for charity – by tackling some of Britain’s biggest rides naked.

Richard Jones, 27, rode Nemesis at Alton Towers in the nude after travelling across America and Europe to tackle 298 different roller coasters and clock up a total of 10,000 rides.

Mr Jones, a Morrisons supermarket worker who lives with his parents in Churchdown, near Cheltenham, Glos., admitted the naked rides ”were very cold”.

”Ever since I was four I have been hooked on roller coasters. It’s an escape from time because it takes you somewhere you don’t normally go,” he said.

”Hurtling along at 80 mph also gets the adrenaline going.  Doing it naked is a lot more difficult because it does get very cold.

”But it was still a good experience and I will definitely be doing it again in the future. I have broken world records and raised money for charity through my roller coaster riding.”

Mr Jones fell in love with roller coasters aged just four when his parents took him on the Zipper Dipper in Blackpool.

Since then he has ridden a total of 298 different roller coasters with his favourite the 400ft (122m) Top Thrill Dragster in Ohio, America.

In May 2004 he broke the Guinness world record for the largest naked roller coaster ride when he tackled Nemesis Inferno at Thorpe Park with 112 other fans.

He has now staged his second naked ride on Alton Towers’ Nemesis with 32 friends to raise money for charity.

One of his favourite roller coasters is The Big One in Blackpool, which he has ridden over 1,000 times.

Mr Jones also rides Megaphobia at Oakwood in Wales for eight hours non-stop every year to raise money for charity.

My Aloha Spirit

With all the crappy weather out there I think we should warm it up. Don’t you?

Hey there, or should I say, Aloha? I think if you asked most people in the United States, they’d tell you that the place that they’d most like to retire would be Hawaii. Well, let’s just say one thing. Hawaii is a way of life and if you want to live there, you need to learn a little bit about the people and the language. It isn’t just about volcanoes, luaus, hula skirts and catching the perfect wave. Well, maybe it is a little bit about that, but you can’t enjoy it unless you adopt that aloha spirit first. So take off your clothes, work on that full body tan and sink your toes in the sand.

Want to look up my grass skirt? Want to see this wahine in her bikini? Well let me tell you a little about the 50th state in our union! Come in and join my luau. I promise you’ll get to see me sway my hips!

Turquoise & Nude

Since I gave up shopping for Lent, I’ve been making mental notes of things I really want to buy as soon as Easter comes around… Not on the list? More little black dresses, black work skirts, or black shoes. Enough is enough and wasting shopping funds on things I ALREADY HAVE just seems silly when there are a ton of other pretty things I could spend money on!

What is making the list? I’m still trying to narrow that down… but a couple things I definitely feel my closet is missing (NEED for spring!) are a turquoise bag and nude(ish) shoes.

I would love, LOVE the Balenciaga Arena Classic Day or really the Balenciaga City in Cyclade… but the Rebecca Minkoff Mini Nikki or Marc by Marc Jacobs Flash Leola Hobo (via Mandy of Life in the Fashion Lane) are both about half the price of the Balenciaga bags and still gorgeous!

I’m still looking for the perfect nude shoes as well – or really, more of a light-to-medium tan (thanks mom and dad for my inability to ever be pale) – I’m not sure that any of these are exactly what I’m looking for but I know I want a peep-toe platform, probably in a patent leather… Pictured are: Vera Wang Lavender Label Sherry Platform Pump, Kate Spade Glenda, Kate Spade Cammie, and Jessica Simpson Astor Pump.

Did anyone else give up shopping?! Even if you didn’t, what’s on your must-have list for spring?
