Jesus Bastard-Ass Christ. That, my friend, is frikkin' awesome!

At first, I thought he might be moving a little too fast, but he's just getting his goth on, and you gotta be quick when you're getting your goth on.

Well done. Your mother ought to be proud.

First off, the strip brought back ultra fond memories of watching my friend mope, pace and march on the dance floor to Bauhaus, NIN and Velvet AntiChrist.  Best memory ever?  One of my friends got himself fitted for fangs - that's right fitted for fangs.  When he got them they made him lisp like a teen with a retainer.  Nothing says "darkness" like spraying spit and and having trouble saying words with "s" in them.  Very nice.

As for the Suicide Girls, I'm interested in the whole burlesque phenomena.  I read an interview about the SG recently because they are in town tonight, and they insist that only 20% of those who visit the site got to the pictures.  While seeing other more-or-less normal bodied girls didn't turn me on, it did make me feel a little better about my own body - the same effect watching a Russ Meyers movie had on me.

Having briefly work for a porn video rental place ( I have so many stories for another time), and just a little later as a sex ed. teacher, I developed a strong interest for human sexuality in my early years (ha didn't we all!). We're mostly presented with polished, air brushed, altered bodies, within a very narrow age range, that don't reflect the reality of normal human bodies.  Where did the arbitrary decision of what is to be sold and packaged as "sexy" come from?  In the same way that models all look the same, have the same measurements, etc, so it goes with women in porn - we're usually presented with a blank canvas porno girl on which we can impose our own meanings.  Beyond this, it's also important to remember that your typical playboy centerfold can feed into a fetish for slim woman with unnaturally large breasts.  I think it's fair to say that SG feeds into a specific fetish of those who like the tattooed and pierced, but these girls also try to have their own identities - not just expressed through body art, but through the majority of content on the site.  It's a sort post-mod feminism.  I'm not sure if it works, if it's the worst idea ever, or what, but I find it very interesting.  Just like Ally McBeal, their packaging will draw me in and their content will likely let me down.  Sigh.

Also, llimllib - I love the gif, but you must understand that the goth is a slow moving creature, hence why goth rhymes with sloth.

I must confess my complete lack of exposure to actual goth people and, as such, goth culture. Thusly and thereforely, here comes a slower version:



slow enough? I can make it painfully slow, but any slower and it's hard to call it "animated".

Very nice, and both better than what I can do.

Sir, I was unaware that I was stepping on any toes. I was simply bored and unemployed. If you are the official Plagiarist Achewood Animated Giffer (oh yes, I verbed it), then I humbly apologize.

Put it in that "bullet time" the kids are all so crazy about.

Personally, I'm not as interested in the whole burlesque phenomena as I am interested in breasts.
I had a subscription to Suicide Girls for a month about a year ago. Some of the girls were hot, but the videos were just ridiculous. Despite really good soundtracks, it was like watching two girls smile and kiss eachother. Yeah, I realize that that is hot, but I'm PAYING FOR THIS. I'm a BIG BOY, now, I can handle jeux sans #####.

You need to have a conversation with my S.O.

My main issue with SG? All softcore. This is the Internet, baby! Most surfers think of softcore "pr0n" in the same quiant manner as Art Frahm pictures.

I AM FASCINATED BY THIS ENTIRE THREAD

That is all.

The only ostentatious self-absorbtion in my Pornography Experience should by MY OWN

Word. Word word word.

Nice goth-dance anims, by the by.

Ah, well SG is a good site for seeing real non-plastic breasts, but although I've never seen any videos on the site, I can assume from the other content I have seen that it would be porn lite, but then many people get off very nicely on that sort of thing - I mean why else would Russ Meyers still be so damn popular?

As for Cort's suggestion of me chatting it up with his S.O., did I mention I'm directing two plays for FemFest?  And that we changed our tagline from last years "Plays by Women" to "Plays by Women for Everyone."  Very important to not be exclusionary.  I want $$$ from dykes and your grandmothers too!

I wonder how long LN gonna take before Rey's huckstering drives him to dire measures.

My guess, based on the way his eyes go from one side to the other in the first two panels as if seriously reconsidering something, is maybe a couple more minutes at most.
