Coming soon

Right now I'm sitting on the couch of the lovely Erika Moen and Matthew, in Portland, watching her framing her amazing art collages. One quiet day in the middle of our huge 6-weeks-trip.




Vancouver has been one of the most wonderful experience I've ever had on travels. This city is absolutely magical and Cherry, besides being super smart and nice and the sweetest host, is also a great guide and she really transmitted me her love for this city, I think.








Best gelato ever with Cherry and AnnaLee !



I also had the chance to meet a great lot of adorable ladies, and shot most of them ! Rhue, Shanti and Voodou for quite a crazy shootfest day




You'd better stay tuned for this lady Rhue's pictures coming soon


And also babes Glitch, Ceres, Peatrie, Harajuku, Phoenix, and Cruella. So many new faces and smiles to remember.








Then we crossed the border to join Seattle and Portland.
Bald eagles at the border




Here we are now, Portlanders !



Pour les francophones, j'ai participé au Projet 17 Mai contre l'homophobie
For french speakers, I've been part of a big comics project against homophobia for May the 17th :


You can also see Erika Moen's amazing comics there ! You can also read the english version on her website.

I want thank you all for supporting so much our two brand new french Suicidegirls Jupiter and Maokiz.Please go and congrats them !



And highfive for frontpage Oro !

I'm nurturing my love for this city. And for redhead.





What else, what's new ?
I had Lapsus and Aneria at home and we went walking in the forest. And there was bear's garlic !

BEAR'S GARLIC DUDES !!!!!







I spend too much time on Instagram


I drew a lot







Rolling into soft sheets, my favorite activity.

It happened !


Allez mange !


Our brand new President Hollande is known for having the charisma of a custard pie, so now you understand our constant puns. Anyway, charisma or not is not the question, but the program and the convictions ! It's such a huge relief to finally having a left-wing, progressist, non-xenophobic person at the head of the gouvernement ! Someone whose sole interest is not money.
I really hope that will shut down a bit all the racist wave rising in the country. I hope also he'll not be cockblocked by the opposition, let's cross fingers for the legislative elections soon. I'm just frustrated to see they all go on lauding growth, growth, expansion, instead of thinking of a way of reaaaally changing our way of living, thinking about decrease, but... Oh well, I suppose the whole education (should I say "brainwash") of the whole population would need to be done again on that subject. I'm also quite curious to see what will happen for gay rights, and if they'll try something about the ecology or if it'll be forgotten as always -_-



Wanna have fun with Taiwanese summary ?


Ok je peux pas resister


Tres bon article "La croissance est un problème, pas une solution" de Pierre Rabhi.

Pendant ce temps, comme d'habitude, personne ne parle du modele islandais

Pendant ce temps aussi, en France, on abroge des lois sur le harcelement sexuel , pourtant clairement bien inutiles......

Et pour bien foutre la merde avant de partir

Cool ones going on, lately !

‘Looking for Langston’ still, dir. by Isaac Julien







Olivier Langhendries Bonjour !

Wearing glasses for daily life. I need to get used to that. I think those ones might be the good solution to not be bothered any longer by flirty & rude men. I may attract a few HP fans though



Right after the USA trip I'll try to move as fast as I can in Nantes. I've been longing to live in that great city for 8 years. I'm quite impatient.





In the meantime, when I'm not working, I spend my life in trains, as usual

Today is election day here. Or "ejection day" as we would like it to be. However is there is one thing that always leads me to the most pessimist thoughts, it's politic. I voted after my convictions, but I have no hopes for any good result or better president.



L'election, ce n'est pas la democratie par Jacques Ranciere.


Maybe the only speech that moved me to the guts :
Youpins, bougnoules, norvegiennes menopausees, nous sommes chez nous.

La planete brule et ils regardent ailleurs

And of course I follow closely what everyone says about gay rights...
Nos familles, elles vous emmerdent


In the meantime I dream about the minimal life wage (in french though)
Les miracles du revenu minimum garanti

Revenu de base inconditionnel en Suisse

10 (mauvaises) raisons de ne pas croire au revenu de vie


Or about the icelandic voices rising
Islande :seconde torgnole a la finance mondiale

Yet it's funny to compare the french and british media on that
Iceland agrees Icesave deal with UK and Netherlands

I guess, I mean, I'm confronted everyday to the fact it's highly difficult for total cis-gendered people to ponder about transgender/genderqueer people's issues, since cis-people fit so well into the gender shapes expected from society, and don't have to face discrimination, violences, or the simple questioning coming from being a sort of outcast. But I do think it can do no wrong to anyone to have a little curiosity and empathy, so even if you don't feel concerned, I'm sure it's still interesting to try to think about genders, about your own, about those who don't fit in as easily ; and about other way to express and identify yourself and the others.

I've been fighting lately with the use of neutral pronuns. I don't identify myself as a girl ; I don't feel I'm a "she". At least not all the time. But I don't feel I'm a "h" neither ! And it's a bit irritating to be always defined the wrong way, or in a reductive way, by words. I like to use "ey" in english (ey/eir/em) for talking about my genderqueer mates, and I'd be very grateful if you also use it when talking about me. Give it a try, it's also funny in a way to train your mind to think a bit differently and to fight talking habits which are quite mind-shaping.
Pareil en francais. C'est beaucoup plus difficile etant donnee la feminisation/masculinisation de notre langue, et surtout partant du principe que le neutre est masculin par defaut, mais j'essaie vraiment de trouver des maniere d'exprimer la neutralite, ou la diversite du genre meme dans le language. Passer librement du masculin au feminin en variant les accords d'adjectifs et de verbes, utiliser il/elle selon l'humeur du moment ; ou utiliser le pronom invente "eile", voila quelques idees pour jouer avec le genre. J'essaye de parler "d'eile(s)" a propos de mes amis genderqueer, n'hesitez pas a faire de meme quand vous parlez de moi. Essayez ! C'est assez interessant et amusant aussi d'entrainer son esprit et de contrer les reflexes qui, l'air de rien, faconnent l'esprit et la pensee.


Les gender studies pour les nuls



Bettina Rheims, "The Gender Studies"

"€œOver a year ago, we got a request from "€œCandy magazine"€, an yearly publication on transexuality and drag, to publish once again, and twenty years later, the "€œModern Lovers"€ and "€œLes Espionnes"€. A body of work on androginy and transgender shot during the hardest times of aids. It gave me the idea instead to check, If things were different today in the world of gender, from the eighties.
We opened a Facebook profile, showing a few of these early pictures (among them the first image Kate Moss ever shot) with a message encouraging people who felt "different"€ to get in touch with the Studio. I "Skyped"€ with young boys and girls from all over the world, they told me the most beautiful stories about their lives. There was nothing pathetic or sad in their stories, just a feeling of being different. A lot of them knew from childhood, that they were born in the wrong body and had decided, many with the help of their parents, to correct the original mistake.
But what struck me as being completely new, were the ones who refused to choose between the two options, and had decided to live using both identities. Depending on the day, the mood; why not have it all ? “In Australia, last autumn, for the first time, someone got the mention -€œX-€ on his/her passport, recognizing for the very first time the existance of a "€œthird sex".€
While we were Skyping€, I got taken away by their voices, and the words they used. Voices that cannot be desguised very long, that broke during our conversations, going back to their original nature. Accents from everywhere, speaking english / french / spanish, talking about magic and witches and god fairies, and dreams of princess.
I had 27 of them come to the studio from all over the world, and working together with a great sound artist, Frederic Sanchez, we recorded them in the studio right after the shooting. I also worked very closely with my friend, and wonderful designer Jean Colonna who helped to glorify these new "€œModern Lovers"€. It was amazing. So the installation will be. A large square / rectangle room. These portraits looking at the viewer. A sound installation going around, in an hypnotic way, following the viewer as he is lingering through the exhibition. But if you stand in the middle of the room, you will be able to listen to the voice of the new third sex !"



"Two shadows disappear and I become myself." (by Alvar Grav)
"I don'€™t know if I'€™m too pleased with that title anymore, but that'€™s the title I gave this work when I sent in to apply for art schools. And I haven'€™t thought of an alternative yet, so it'€™ll have to do for now.
It'€™s about the dream of being read correctly (?), being liberated from something uncomfortable, for a moment. I suppose. But I mean, I am myself. Regardless of the shadows.
I never get around to "€œpublishing"€ any work like this, that centers around aspects of my gender identity, because as soon I step back and take a look at it, it reveals its problems. It reveals the ways it could cause harm both to myself and to others. First and foremost others.
There's a violent conflict in how I feel about altering my own body and what kind of expectations I may continue to push onto other people and their bodies while doing so. My body is white, thin, able... As a genderqueer/androgynous body it is very close to the narrow accepted ideal for what that kind of body should look like. Yes, I promise you there is a world of cis-people out there with the opinion that: "Gender ambiguity should look like this fashion spread in i-D Magazine or it's totally gross."€ There's this tiny exception where it is OK to "deviate" from the ideal cis-body towards a more fluid one, but only because it fulfills all these other ideal standards. And also, in this context, there'€™s almost never any personal statement. Like, I bet, it's going to annoy people that along with the images above this text there is, you know, the text. BLAH BLAH BLAH boring I want to look at the pictures. I’m gonna post it to my thinspo blog.
Well,
I don'€™t want to be one more thin, white, punch in the face to all the queer/trans bodies that are devalued in this horrendous world because they aren'€™t thin or white or able or ALL OF THE ABOVE and a myriad of other reasons.
But I am.
Lord knows there are things that are not ideal when it comes to my body, but the privileges are apparent, abundant. I see someone who is closer to the ideals I have personally internalized, and I admit, I feel ugly, or like a failure in relation to what I should look like, no one escapes this poison, but these sort of feelings don'€™t compare - at all - because I don'€™t face the kind of oppression that so many other people face because of their bodies. I simply don'€™t. And I have understood that my body will make other people feel bad about theirs. I can work my outmost to not ignore these privileges I have. At keeping myself aware and careful. And still, it won'€™t work, by default it won'€™t work, I am still me, speaking from a place that's going to injure someone else, because my voice is heard and not theirs. Due to my privileged position. My work is personal, sure, it is not meant to represent any story or journey but my own, but whatever - art is never just art, one person'€™s struggle is not just one person's struggle. Everything builds and affects someone else. Or intrudes upon and demolishes someone else.
So, this torso. I set out to create an object that would make me feel comfortable posing topless/in something that reveals the chest in photographs, at least, (because the torso of course is not comfortable enough to wear outside). I don't know what I ended up with. I set out to explore in imagery what it would be like if the real alteration of my breasts weren'€™t up to "€œgender investigators"€ and the fucked up system you need to pass through to transition - and of course you can only transition from one end of the binary to the other in Sweden, so any surgical alteration isn'€™t possible right now. But I only took a few portraits in it and since these first ones I haven'€™t taken any more. I don'€™t like the fact that I'€™m in long johns and briefs. I'€™m missing the femme extravaganza that this torso needs to be accompanied with, in my mind, to make it revolutionary. A body decorated with lots of draped velvet, sequins, lace and fabulous make-up.
When I get it back from the school I turned it in to as an application I might try and give it nipples. Or I might burn it in the forest behind the house.



Sorry I can't get your pronun right !




From photographer Nicola Okin Frioli's portrait series entitled 'We Are Princess in a Land of Machos'. They drink beer, they are part of the government, and they are a symbol of good luck for their family: They are Muxes -€“ homosexuals of the pueblo Oaxacaqueno de Juchitan, Mexico - more than 3000 homosexuals who enjoy respect and admiration in all the country. Los Muxes (in Zapotec language means homosexual) are considered a blessing to their families. It is luck for a homosexual to be born in Juchitan, where in a population of 160,000 they walk proudly in the streets, dressed as women with huipiles and enaguas, typical dress of the Tehuantepec Isthmus. A resident of Juchitan says "€˜A lady living here has a son Muxes, and then she has winned the lottery, it is a real blessing. Everybody should accept them as they are, in every place they are."€™ Says Felina, a 36-year-old Muxes and owner of a beauty salon: "€˜A lot of us are this way because our parents converted us and treated us as a female. I'€™m not a man. I'€™m not a woman... I'€™m a Muxes and there is a place for everybody in the Vineyard of the Lord."Read more about the Muxes of Oaxaca and en francais.

I've been featured in The SG blog column !

I'm stuck in the storm's eye, with shoulder tendonitis. Obligatory rest. No more tattoos. I'm not even sure I'll be able to draw before a while.

After the first day of panic and tears ("what the hell am I gonna do ? I'm doomed ! I've got no money left ! I need to work ! What about my customers ? That was supposed to be a helluva working week !" -etc) I took it as a gift ; well, maybe not a gift ; let's say, a sign. A sign I must stop, slow down, rest, and make the most of this sudden unexpected free time offered to me. Goodness knows how much I'm craving for time !
Also, I was in Paris, and Paris is full of friends to visit, creatures to make out with, exhibitions to see, teas to taste, exs to reconcile, mates to match, girls to shoot, and that is how I spent my week. Besides the crazy-drug-trips, lots of giggles and nonsense, due to some way too strong medications I've been given. Fortunatly Opale knows how to look after me.














Now back home, I still have hundreds of pictures to sort out and edit, a whole world on the internet to catch up with, and a companion to cuddle. And Dr Who episodes to watch.

Today is Women's rights day, and as every year, every single douchebag jacks suddely pop out of their douchery box. Hateful, aggressive, lame, ready to spread their shallowness at any feminist article. Their bad faith made me sick. I knew that was coming, and as every year, I haven't been able to avoid them. It makes me so sad... But not for me, not even so much for women - we are used to. It makes me, most of all, sad for these guys.
What are they so afraid of ? Why are they so blind ? How can they be ? How can they close their eyes on what women are living through, on the life conditions of their own mothers, daughters, sisters, lovers ? How can they be so self-centered they don't see, never, nowhere, the male privileges they've been so well dipped in ? Do they really need us to list again all the shits and injustices most of women have to face, since they're born, as well in daily life, as in health, sexuality, education, profession, or basic rights and respect ?
Is it so hard to understand that fighting for women's rights is not fighting against men's rights, but working on creating a better world, with an equal place for everyone, every sex, every gender, every personality ?

I'd just like to see everyone happy being whatever they want to be and living well, not being stuck on reductive boxes where their sexs had them assignated. Oh and I'd also like to book a special place in hell, for those who answered me "but women are so lucky, they're beautiful". Please. Do. Not. Ever. Say. That.

I thought you'd be interested to see the amazing backstage pictures on film that Spleen took of AnnaLee when they shot her set Parhelion. It's here.

I've been shooting a lot accross London and Paris..... Snaps !
Can you name all the girls ?













Sometimes you meet some beautiful human beings and you feel you absolutely want to picture them. Sometimes, you also feel you haven't stumbled on them randomly ; something rings a bell - you know they'll pose soon. I was quite right about Apolline .... We are lucky. She's amazing all around. You should welcome her on the site and check out her debut set Le Chat Noir !






There is another hopeful I'd like you to welcome : Saudade_. One day I stumbled upon her pictures, and asked her if she knew about SG... But she was 16 ! Very embarassed, I apologized for my mistake, and said her to not hesitate to contact me when she's legal, if she's still interested. We're lucky. She did.
Check out her set Dies Lunae





It seems that tons of sets went out while I was away... And none of them on the frontpage. Have you checked the gorgeous Marlene - Glitter Monster ?


The graceful Ortie - Nooks and crannies


The amazingly flexible Kyoko - strengir ?


And another lady from the Northern Countries, that you'd better warmly welcome back to SG : Key - The Lady of the House of Love ?

"People who don't believe in sexism and think feminism is redundant."

"Congratulations on your misogynistic patriarchal view of the world, you really do come across as an incredibly intelligent and valuable member of society. Sexism isn't the tooth fairy, it's not something you can credibly deny the existence of."



"I've been raging on Twitter today about how batshit insane it is that Virginia is proposing that uterus-bearers undergo trans-vaginal ultrasounds before being allowed to have abortions. This means that a doctor, even if he or she knows that it is unnecessary, must probe inside the vagina to obtain an image of the fetus. Forcing an object inside someone, even if their pregnancy is a result of sexual assault.

That's all it is; insane. No man, no person, nobody has the right to tell you what you can or cannot do with your own body. It's horrific and ugly and I don't know how else to describe it. Nobody deserves to be raped because of how they were dressed, or shamed because they are unable to or don't want to give birth, or told on any level by anyone that they are a lesser person for having sex at all.

This news from Virginia left me feeling physically ill all day."




" This may be a campaign about HIV/AIDS awareness, but that's no excuse. This is blatant misogyny, really sinister stuff that conveys a much more profound message about the female body.

Take another look at it. She's got a killer smile, but still, you can't see her eyes. The model is cropped so that she's essentially headless. What makes her human is gone. What makes her a woman is on display. That's a very deliberate creative choice.

She is an object to be fucked without a brain or an identity. Worse still, her vagina is a fully indexed destination on a Google map. The visual metaphor is so potent (and porn is so ubiquitous) that this image is more jarring than one in which she shows us her actual pussy.

It's not about the fact that she's had sex with Bill Johnson and 19 others. Who gives a fuck? What's toxic is the idea that they checked into her vagina on Foursquare. It's saying is that a her private parts aren't private at all. They're public. That's the implicit message in this image, and it's degrading as hell.

It's not slut-shaming so much as it's female-shaming, and it reinforces the age-old cultural narrative that women's bodies aren't their own."

On my way to Nantes-London-Paris

Before I left, the Moon got frosted on my window


We had the adorable little smart creature Ortie at home for a few days. Lots of chats and shootings and geek tricks.

















And she shot the super pretty Marquise !

After Claude Ponti

BACK TO THE WHIRLWIND !



Milano was amazing. I had the chance to shoot Riae and Ultima.


I spent a lovely time with the best host Gogo and the talented Ashley Riot, and the convention was great as usual.



And before that we organised a super fun suprise "D party" for P_Mod's birthday. Therefore :
Donna and the Doctor


David Bowie


Dinosaur and Dieu (god)


Divine, Dsk and Dominatrix


Dale Cooper !





...and then lovely Sucette and Sinnah stayed with us for a couple of days.





I'm just home for a week, with tons of tattoo works incoming, and Ortie visiting us for a few days. And the, I'm in the storm again, travelling through Nantes-London-Paris in a row, then Edinburgh, then, I don't know.....

But there are too much Tarot cards around me lately, too much messages... Telling me the same things, more or less, since a few months. I've been warned enough. I'd like to see it happens now.

Thank you so much for your support, and for all your amazing comments on the Woad set. I'm so glad it made it to the frontpage ; it's been a while I hadn't worked with my life mate P_Mod, it's always a pleasure.
