We like texture

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.


dude...i think technically you'd only be in the same camp as the objectified girls if you had lost some of your clothes along the way...

cool photos, though. what was the shoot for?

you're right. but I don't claim that every girl has the duty to bare herself for men's eyes, because it's not right for everyone.

by the same token, if I'm not comfortable flaunting my modest patch of chest hair for all to see, can you blame me?

yes, it's not the same. but definitely it touches upon some of the same issues. I'm not fooling myself into thinking this is some kind of unadulterated meatfest, though.

it's just three very normal pictures. but that's three thousand words worth of discussion, right?

feature title: lat van die dag.

yes, kind of embarassing.

did i say light teasing?

I meant shattering belittlement.

Naw, I get it. But the title makes up for all the threads in the world between myself and the camera.

what's that line you love quoting?

"i'm just so hot right now"

well, something for posterity.

OK, so why do I get the feeling that those 3 pics aren't the ones you're talking about? ;-) Gonna share? And how about a title translation. Babel Fish doesn't do Afrikaans. :-/ Maybe Dutch will be close enough to give me the idea. . .

LOL! Dutch gave me "lat of the day" and German gave me "lat van the Trade Union of German Employees" *giggle*

Oh, maybe it really was "Lats of the day" Please post the pics!! :-)
