LIZ TAYLOR AND ROPE TRICKS FOR THE WEEKEND


Moments come when I wonder why I am driven to classic images of beauty like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. Is there some golden age effect here that endows these retro stars with a certain unique class, or is it just that these are the images of my formative years – fetishized and totemized – and I have simply become so old that I’m more comfortable with yesteryear? But, then again, who could equate Liz Taylor with Lindsay Lohan?

    real they were, but still in a process of plastifying.

    looking better at the image, it could even be one of those high class fashion mag's picture of isabella Rossellini.

    Liz with rope? Maggie Gyllenhaal? Do I detect a latent bondage theme?

  7. Latent is in the eye of the beholder.

    Latex is always in the eye of the beholder.
