We like texture

Yes, the silhouette challenge is on! Contending are gm, emmie and myself, as well as anyone else who would like a crack at taking the winning silhouette picture.

Now, take a look at this pic.



It's okay, but not half as cool as this one:



Yes, they are the same picture, and I sinfully photoshopped the original to see how far we can bend the truth with pictures. The answer? A lot.

Rest assured I don't do this kind of thing normally, but just look at the difference it makes! But it's unethical. Boo.

Anyway, that is my duplicitous entry for the Silhouette Challenge.

Sudan is terrible, sure. But it doesn't scare the bejeesus out of me like...




married uni-dressers.

I followed them around for a while, but when I tried to get in front of them, they turned around and went the other way. They probably have no faces.

I tried to make up a story for them to make them less sad.

What if they were star'crossd lovers that became enamoured in the briefest of encounters, and promised to meet each other 20 years later with a purple sweater and off-green cargo pants?

What if?

I've been on holiday, I suppose. Welcome back, me.

We went to Waterford the other day, a wine estate that serves chocolate with its tastings. Fun, yes.

But this freaked me out a little. It reminded me of a Nine Inch Nails music video.





For those who don't know what I'm talking about, and even some of those who do, here is the uncensored version of "Closer", Nine Inch Nail's most famous caper :



you get me closer to God

Sure, Alan Moore "does" comics, but he has some of the most interesting ideas on sex I've ever read.

For the bored, here is an excellent interview on his graphic novel trilogy Lost Girls, featuring Wendy, Dorothy and Alice as we know them from Peter Pan, The Wizard of Oz, and Alice in Wonderland.

The books are not for the queasy or the prude. The well-known fairytale heroines find themselves in the unusual setting of Austria in the heady times leading up to The First World War. There, they create an erotic fantasyland for themselves, indulging in curious, some would say dangerous, wants. Soon enough, the war begins to trespass their raptures and that's... all I know.

But look at the some of the thinking behind the book:

"Why set Lost Girls during World War I?

We are trying to present sex and war as alternatives to one another. The pornography in Lost Girls is a testament to the human imagination, and particularly to the human sexual imagination, and the war that builds ominously throughout Lost Girls is the exact opposite of the human sexual imagination. I perceive war as the ultimate failure of the imagination. When we can't think of anything else to do, then we kill each other in staggering numbers."

The younger me would probably kill the now me for doing this.

"It's lame, you conceited bastard!" he would scream. Maybe he'd be right.

At the same time, no one is getting any younger and now I can tick off "modeling for a campus newspaper" for the rest of my life.

I recently did an article on sex and sex media that put a lot of ideas into my head on a bunch of topics including feminism, relationships and pornography.

Anyway, if I say its okay to put women on men's mag covers and to look at titillating media in general, then I better put my money where my mouth is and see what it feels like in front of a camera.

I had fun.

Real fun. Just a relaxed conversation about this and that, click click, "try this" and the shoot was done. Now I'm bracing for a chauvinist backlash when my pics appear in the campus newspaper this Thursday and my men's residence peers don't quite know how to process it. Oh, and some light teasing all round.

But I was there, I got the T-shirt, and I have a feeling that I'll never regret doing my one lil' old shoot.
