While I add some random thoughts, please take a moment and consider donating or re-donating to the South Asia Tsunami Relief Effort. I'm watching the second Canadian telethon on CTV right now. I made a C$500 donation last month to the International Red Cross relief fund, which is on top of my monthly $16 donation to the general IRC relief program. With tax time coming, think of it as another way to deny the tax dept. a little moola.
Before the telethon, I watched part of Alice Through The Looking Glass, starring the sweet & delightful Kate Beckinsale. My appreciation of her talent and beauty has grown considerably in the past year, especially since seeing her in Pearl Harbor and Laurel Canyon. She's building quite a long list of credits. But why are her eyes always so sad?
Earlier today, I read a journal entry by Rx in which she gave her reaction to her now former friend's poorly disguised "shoot" proposal. Below is my response that story (her reply appears in my Jan 28/05 journal.) ---
"I've been on dozens of paid semi-pro shoots where the money came from my own pocket or costs were shared with fellow photographers. While shoots can be incredibly sexually charged at times, it's no place for a letcher and certainly no time to be seeking a "relationship". Thoughts like that are best kept to one's self.
It has frequently been suggested to me by others (parents included, which is why I stopped talking to them 9 years ago) that I'm into nude & glamour photography for the sex. Sure, it is SEXY to photograph beautiful naked women, and yes I'd have to be DEAD not to get aroused in their company or when I'm looking at the work I created with them. But if my models weren't so complimentary of me, my conduct, and the results of my work, then it would all be just a cheap thrill, wouldn't it?
I joined Suicide Girls because I saw some lovely photos of beautiful women, and because I saw that they and their fans/friends could express themselves relativley freely in a moderated environment. Believe me, I belong to several Yahoo discussions groups where "open minds" are equal to "potty mouths".
I live in the northern Bible belt (Canadian prairies), where an oppressive moral majority uses political power to suppress expressions of human nature. This is partly why Edmonton has the highest per capita sex abuse and family crime rates in all of Canada. Winter lasts half of the year here, which makes it hard to get out and enjoy the company of others. Hence all of the problems like depression and suicide.
I guess if that guy wanted a "quickie", he really should have called up a prostitute. Bravo to you Rx for giving him the boot instead!"

If you even showed up with a unicycle, you would be my king.
