After a long time away..
I was just listenning to the news radio (France Info, a rather good station with a rather good pluralism of ideas)) last friday when a young PhD from north of France( Brittany) started talking about the sociological phenomenon of tattoo and piercing, saying that, based on a statistical AND (he said) psychological study of sociology, people with tattoo and piercings mostly are alcoholic and political extremists...
Being myself healthy and not prone to extremism, I was very chocked to hear THAT moreover from the mouth a young man, PhD for more !

I gave some hope to the youth to change the watch of people about tattoed and piercied guys and gals.. but well. Think I should forget it.
When they say that the tattoo has been democratized and is no longer a factor in social danger (as if it had been one day), they add another layer of stupidity by saying that it is infact the tattooed AND pierced people that are the bad guys ..

What a beautiful world.

Oh my god...
I just cant' believe...
More than 200 comments telling me such adorable things...

I passed years thinking that if people sad kind things about my body/face, it was pity or something like it.
I arised this morning from a short night, thinking to a lot of stuff but never to SG because my set had been queued to december 14th...
So you can imagine my surprise...

80 emails...

200 comments...

My set is on member review 15 days advanced !!!!

I swear i was about to cry.

I now, hopeful, it's not the big bang, but holy heaven it makes me happier than ever.
I won, I fought my disgust of my own body, I found hope, I'm here, I read all those unbelievable kind words....I'm out of space of happiness...

I've a thought to my photographer, she never gave it up in her life, she passed through everything, now she can live her dream, I wish her to win the recognition she deserves.


I'm sorry I have to finish with Jimmy Somerville :p don't kill me ! From this stunnig movie "Orlando" by Sally Potter

"I am coming! I am coming!
I am coming through!
Coming across the divide to you
In this moment of unity
feeling an ecstacy
to be here, to be now
At last I am free
I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I'm being born and I am dying
At last I am free!
Yes at last, at last
to be free of the past
and the future that beckons me
I am coming! I am coming!
Here I am!
Neither a woman, nor a man
Oh we are joined, we are one
with the human face
At last I am free!"


THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!

Poetry, large thread... Do you know Rabindranath Tagore ? For me the best poet. . How pure, how a wonderful song of life.
All the detailcare of India in the simple beauty of english language (well translated)

Then, if you don't know, just have a look on this :

"De peur que je n'apprenne à te connaître trop facilement,
tu joues avec moi.
Tu m'éblouis de tes éclats de rire pour cacher tes larmes.
Je connais tes artifices.
Jamais tu ne dis le mot que tu voudrais dire.
De peur que je ne t'apprécie pas, tu m'échappes de cent façons.
De peur que je te confonde avec la foule, tu te tiens seule à part.
Je connais tes artifices.
Jamais tu ne prends le chemin que tu voudrais prendre.
Tu demandes plus que les autres, c'est pourquoi tu es silencieuse.
Avec une folâtre insouciance, tu évites mes dons.
Je connais tes artifices.
Jamais tu ne prends ce que tu voudrais prendre.
(Le Jardinier d'amour, XXXV) "
Rabbindranath Tagore.



in English :

"Lest I should know you too easily, you play with me.
You blind me with flashes of laughter to hide your tears.
I know, I know your art.
You never say the word you would.

Lest I should not prize you, you elude me in a thousand ways.
Lest I should confuse you with the crowd, you stand aside.
I know, I know your art,
You never walk the path you would.

Your claim is more than that of others, that is why you are
silent.
With playful carelessness you avoid my gifts.
I know, I know your art,
You never will take what you would."
The GARDENER 35.


well, originally wrote in Bengali =)

Can't waiiiiiiit !

... till my next one !
I've been planning it for months ! Now I'm waiting for my tattoo artist's draw... I gave her all the elements I want and she'll mix it. But I look forward to have it!
Why does she take so long !!!!!
It will be on my left arm, under my wolf. The principal element : a Cheshire Cat !
This one :


It will lay on a branch, Tim Burton style with a lantern at the end among a few more details like a broken watch, a rose (yes I do adore roses, I've four of them on my skin), and engraved on the branch "Memento" for Memento Mori... =)

T'will take half my arm, I'm very impatient.
Have to say i'm a pure fan of Carroll's Alice. Kind off a wonderful Ode to Madness, showing that maybe madness can be the real wisdom... I strenghly believe it ^^ tongue

Actually... i'm reading Alice in english ^^
Maybe I'll read Through the looking-glass in english too, but I fear to miss the "meaning" of some importants moments like the Jabberwocky...

Will see =)

I think I'll write my first blog here on my photographer, because she's a pearl and I adore her work.
She is AnarkiA Rock and you can find her here : http://www.anarkia-photo.fr/

Have a look =)

I'm really admirative with persons like her, doing their job even if Art is a lions area, where lie broken dreams 50/inch. Being myself what you can call an "artist" if you're gentle wink I really wonder how did we came to this ?
Now Art became an elitist thing even street art, restricted to the rich ones, something impossible if you're not blowing Mr.Ambassador.... WTF ?

Art is still open, oh my, you just have to give yourself the strenght to fight for it.
I do believe it become that's what I live day by day. Yes I don't have a regular job, I can't buy all I want but I live every second like a pearl offered by heaven.

Keep dreaming, one day it will pay :p
