A Kiss

"The anatomical juxtaposition of the two orbicular orris muscles in the state of contraction" ~ dictionary

  I was re-reading a blog post from a friend of mine about a kiss.... http://www.janieblack.com/kissed-off-at-myself/
   I remembered that I put it on my list of things to write about. When we are young (teenagers, let's say) we think of a kiss as a progression to something more. Indeed, a kiss is foreplay that can and often leads to sex. Kissing is also more or less socially acceptable in public whereas sex is less so. So, we go on thinking of kissing as a way to a means.
   I have discovered as many others have also discovered that a kiss can be so much more. When I think back to younger days and people that I had intimate relations with...what I remember most is not the penetrative acts as much as it is the kisses. The kisses are less a physical act as the are an emotional one. The kiss is about passion and desire. It is giving and receiving in one. Kissing is about conquest and surrender at the same moment.

 It may not seem much to some
To ones whose hearts are cold,
But to those that care to feel
A kiss is worth more than gold. ~ Anonymous

    Many prostitutes have often excluded kissing from their services for hire. They might be willing to do many acts of sex including oral, anal, toe sucking, S&M, and a long list of other kinks but when it comes to kissing, the act is simply too intimate and is reserved only for their loved ones. Sex is an exercise that is a means to a paycheck but a kiss requires an emotional investment.
    I saw a movie back in the late seventies ( I can't remember the name of it) where a cop was getting info from a high class call girl. The cop promised not to arrest her for the info exchange. She was enamoured with him and offered him a freebie from her menu (it actually was menu). He noticed that the most expensive thing on the menu was "a simple kiss". He wondered why and thought it harmless. She gave him the kiss for free and he found out why it was the most expensive thing she had to offer. He was changed forever and fell in love with her.
    After that, I never underestimated the power of the kiss. As I told Janie in the comments of her blog....
"I know what kissing does for me and yes, I feel more intimate when kissing then I do in form of penetration, giving or receiving. If the kiss isn’t good then it is all downhill from there. A great kiss however will turn me to mush. It’s the passion. Nothing beats it."

   I for one, do not shy away  from a kiss. If I feel a connection with a person then I am usually quite willing to share a kiss. It becomes the icing on the cake and then I feel like I have truly connected with that person in a greater way than any other act will make. It gives me a warm glow. As for the disbelievers to my theory, ask yourself this.... After having great sex with a person, what do you naturally feel like doing with them after? Hmm?

 The kiss seals the deal.

Just my two cents worth...feel free to add your opinions or to leave comments (please do)

Bond trailer

So a new 007 movie is coming out again soon. Check out this trailer...

Okay, so its not the real trailer...
   So what is it about the James Bond series that has made it the most successful franchise in movie history? It has spanned five decades, going on six with six different actors. I for one admit being addicted the James Bond. It doesn't make much sense really. The character was created by Ian Fleming who was a racist, misogynist, bigoted, chain smoker. I have read every Ian Fleming book and even his writing is shallow and trite and his characters are transparent and one dimensional, but I HAD to read them all. There is no realism involved. I can speak with some knowledge in that area. Since Ian Fleming died back in the sixties, other writers have taken up the torch. They try to do him justice by maintaining his style. I just read Carte Blance a 007 story by Jeffery Deaver who tries to attempts Fleming's style. It wasn't too different, just modernized. Still, I HAD to read it.

   There is just some undeniable infatuation with the suave, cool, yet tough as nails man that is Bond. Every man wants to be him and every woman wants to be with him. The female roles are not without their influence too. Perhaps it is the steady variety of femme fatales  that keep our interest and yearning for more. As you can see, I would love to be one of those femme fatales. So there you go. I guess once you go Bond, you never go back.

  Skyfall opens in November and I'm sure, I'll be there to see it opening weekend...sigh

Early Influences

   As I am sure all of the Freud followers will agree upon, a lot of who we are today comes from the influences of our youth. I may not remember what I had for breakfast yesterday or the name of my doctor but there are images from my youth that are forever ingrained in my memory. I know a lot of other tgirls that have stories of sneaking into their mothers drawers and closets. This is where so many fell in love with nylon stockings. One of my earliest memories of my scared youth was a Playboy magazine that was not hid at all. It wasn't the nude models that first attracted me but a cartoon. It took me a while to find it again in my adult life, but 40 years later, I had no trouble identifying it. It was a Richard Sokol pinup but I didn't know that until I saw it years later.....

This could help to explain my love of redheads and fishnets and high heel boots. It could also explain my leaning toward strong women. When it comes to celebrities, we all have our favourites too. I still favour the divas of the 60's and 70's. It doesn't mean that I don't like the modern women but I just don't follow so many of them as I did the classics. My list of early influences included Marilyn Monroe, of course. Who's doesn't?
But ahead of MM were a few others that have left their mark in my memory as the ideal women. Jane Fonda, not the aerobics Jane of the 80's but the soft sex kitten of the sixties Jane Fonda as in Barbarella, and Cat Ballou. Then there was Anne Margret, redheaded and bodacious with a soft delicate voice in Kitten with a Whip and Murders Row. Rachael Welch was the bombshell of the day. I loved her in those speghetti westerns. I also loved Natalie Wood. She had a wonderful appeal much like Anne Margret. One of my favourites was Sharon Tate who I best remember in the Wrecking Crew. Sadly was taken away in the Healter Skelter murders. Then of course there was the Batman TV series. Julie Newmar was sex on a stick and Yvonne Creig as Batgirl still drives me wild. My ideal woman is a hybrid cross of all these divas. Other greats from that era were Elkie Sommers, Barbara Eden, Elizabeth Montgomery, and Jane Seymour. My makeup, style and dressing preferences are derived from this era. Later in the late 70's, it was all about Farrah Fawcett, Lynda Carter and Catherine Bach on TV. It was however, those icons of the 60s and early 70s that top my lists.

So who are your influences?

Insane?

  

   Is firing into a crowd of people insane? Sure. The actions of James Holmes are anything but sane but is he insane? The state of Colorado thinks so. James Holmes painted his hair bright red , called himself "the Joker" and carried out his shooting rampage at the opening night of  "The Dark Knight Rises". So now his court case is sealed and he will likely go into a secure mental care facility. What he deserves is the maximum penalty for murder allowed in Colorado.

   Insane? James Holmes had a degree in neural science, a 3.6 grade average and was accepted into a highly rated PHD program. Insane? He chose a school in a state with very lax gun laws. He had a detailed plan for the night of crime. He ordered weapons and ammo weeks before hand. He carefully booby trapped his apartment. He executed his plan to maximize causalities with precision. Then, fully armed and covered in body armour, he gives up to police without a fight. This shows premeditation and intent. He completed a complex estimate and carried out his intended plan to the letter. Insane? Now he is playing the crazy card. Does trying to emulate a fictitious character constitute insanity? If it did, we all would be insane.

  In the final public courtroom appearance, a woman sitting in the back row, with a shaved head, stood up and claimed to have evidence of judicial wrongdoing that would aid the defendant. Who is this woman? Is she supposed to be his Harley Quinn? We obviously have yet to see this clown's true endgame. Those of us who have been Batman, and Dark Knight fans for many years know that the Joker always had another level of chaos ready to be unleashed. It was never simple. So if James Holmes really believes that he is the Joker, his plans may still have not all been seen.

  I apologize for giving this creep any more attention than he already has but the decision to declare him "Insane" is insane. Lock him up and throw away the key.

White Thighs

  You remember my post called "The Glimpse"     The Glimpse

 I referenced the the lure of the glimpse of thigh above the stocking welt and its sexual attraction. I remembered an old book I read a while back called "White Thighs" by Alexander Trocchi. He was also the author of Cain's Book. White Thighs is a story of a man who is obsessed with this portion of women and worships the thighs of strong women. He can go from master to servant in three seconds from the meer glimpse of stocking thighs. There is a great deal of Dominant-submissive relationships in the story and a fair bit of S&M as well. I find it easy to relate to the obsession that drives the main character. It has had me obsessed for as long as I can remember.

The cover art of the book looked so familiar to me, so I went back to some of my older photos and found this one...

 
This should put some perspective to it....

Coincidence????
by the way, its a good read. Beats the hell out of 50 shades.

Mary-Margret @ the Movies

I want to talk some more about movies....
My last post was more about guilty pleasure movies. I know you want to all talk about the drag movies like To Wong Foo, Priscella, Hedwig, etc... and they are all fun to watch. So here goes my list. Number one:

"Rockey Horror" is still my all time drag movie. Second place probably goes to "Breakfast on Pluto."

with Colin Murphy playing an Irish tranny caught by accident in the civil war during the 70's while trying to find her mother. Coming in third would be "Stage Beauty"

about a Shakespearean actor/actress played by Billy Crudop who has to overcome women becoming actors and taking away his job as a female lead. The carriage scene is amazing.

   I just saw a movie this week which doesn't fall into the drag category so much but is more along the line of gender swapping. It's called "Zerophilia"....
   The premise is about a fictitious condition where a person has an extra chromosome, a "Z" chromosome which causes them to change gender much like an amphibian or a seahorse can. The story involves three characters who have the condition. The main character is a teen boy, about eighteen, struggling with the discovery. His friends are all help full and one other Z person is trying to get involved but the main character, Luke, is oblivious to that his girlfriend and boyfriend are the same person. The doctor helping him is also a Z and is using Luke for her own agenda. I was captivated by the film because it is the ultimate fantasy for me... to be able change genders at will. What a great superpower. Here is a little clip from the movie...

There is still one film that has not been made that I would love to see. As you know, I love comic book films. I will be going out this weekend to see the Dark Knight Rises after all. But the movie I would love to see made is based on a graphic novel by Howard Chaykin, called "The Black Kiss". It was written in the late 1980's. It takes place in LA. It is a great story of the occult and has a band of characters including an ex con, a paedophile priest, a golden age movie starlet turned demon, a tranny prostitute, a blind schoolgirl, a bunch of dirty cops, some satanic swingers, a nun in stiletto heels, and many more. They all get mixed up together and stuff happens (you'll have to read it, I don't want to give too much away). Howard's art work is so amazing, it works as a perfect story board for a film. I already have a dream cast for every character in the story. I may need another post just to detail that. In the meantime, here are some samples from the graphic novel....

Bitch Slap

I have read a couple of blogs and posts lately regarding movies and films. Can you believe someone is making "Fifty Shades of Grey" into a movie? Barf! Will somebody please make Howard Chaykin's "Black Kiss"?

This got me thinking about my favourite films... I decided to update my profile to show some of my fav movies and books. Check it out. While I was composing the list, I thought about the great films that I like. There were Citizen Kane, Star Wars, Doctor Zhivago, etc... Then I wondered if I should add some of my guilty pleasure films. You know the ones. We all have them. The cult films, cheap B movies that are just too much fun to hate. I love a good B movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. For many years it was Rocky Horror, then in the eighties I found Repo Man. There were plenty of old classic B's too, like Barbarella. My latest guilty pleasure film (watched it 3 times this week) is "Bitch Slap"

For those of you who have never seen it, check it out. The poster shows the obvious reasons to see it. Three hot babes in the desert with guns. It is low budget and cheesy but wow is it fun. Russ Meyer would love this flic. But don't be fooled. It is a thinking person's action movie. They quote Joseph Conrad, Lorenzo de Medici and Sun Tzu in the film. The story plays out in one setting but flashbacks are cut into it in reverse chronology (a la Momento) to build each character's back story. You cannot take your eyes off of it. There is actually no full frontal nudity in the movie but you won't be disappointed. The sexuality is in the tease, the action and mostly the dialogue. The three main characters are a power trio of femme fatales and they are diverse; Hel (the brains) is a retro chic, power broker in a pencil skirt and satin blouse. Camero (the brawn) is a tough as nails, street fighting psycho. Trixie (the bait) is a stripper with a heart of gold who can get anything she wants with a well timed bend-over. Oh, and they are all lesbians. Yah! I won't give much more away but the plot and character development are well thought out. The fight scenes are outstanding (Zoe Bell is the stunt coordinator). It has the greatest cat fight in movie history, easily.

For some of us, it's easy to relate to one the characters. I think most of us could relate to Hel (played by sexy Erin Cummings). I know I do. She is sharp, strong, confident and compassionate. The other gals have some qualities that I can see in myself too. Camero (America Olivo)  is direct and honest to a fault. Even Trixie (Julia Voth) surprised me. There is so much more under the surface. The supporting cast is full of rich characters too. Hotwire and Kinki are beyond fun.

To surmise it, The film is a cornucopia of diverse personalities caught in a dichotomy of circumstance that an emotional juxtaposition transforms into a polarization of conflict arising to a crescendo of turmoil....with tits and guns. (Micheal Hurst aka Gage)

If you only see one film, see Citizen Kane, but if you want to see another one, see Bitch Slap.
