AM Tattoo
i had removed the deep olive green velvet winter drape
while it had provided darkness and warmth
it’s extra layer wasn’t needed anymore
The morning light through my ever so tall turn of the century bedroom window sometimes glows
one recent morning the sunlight caught me by surprise
the warmth of it’s kiss found my morning nipple
touching me just so
oh
the shadows from the cut velvet sheers also found me
and we danced
at the center of me
brocade and light
I found the image of the beads here on my thigh so remarkably vivid
like an am tattoo
i’ve always always wanted a tatoo
did i ever tell you
one, two, three
just could never decide where to put one
or even what
any suggestions?

More Movies, Less Dating
So, a lot of people these days have been asking my opinion on the whole 30 Chick Flicks thing. Having dated and drank my way through a hundred or so dates, I’m clearly a very different side of the same coin.
Clearly, I have a different viewpoint on life, and this guy’s doing his own little thing, and that’s fine. But the more and more I read about it in interviews and write ups, the more it just leaves a bad feeling on the tip of my tongue. And it finally hit me why. He’s what every girl claims to want. He’s twenty-eight, married, and in his own-misguided way, doing this to improve his understanding of women. But here’s the thing of it all: It’s saccharine, it’s sweet, and it’s cliche.
This guy is playing the part of the lovable sap, and he wants to improve himself. And he does it in a kooky way, he watches these chick flicks, because God knows the secret to most women is found at the bottom of a Cosmo, and in the hazel eyes of Kate Hudson. And yes, he’s fighting the noble fight, we men are usually bastards who cringe at the mere sight of Matthew Mcconaughey, Mark Ruffalo, and Patrick Dempsey. But it isn’t that we are soulless, molesters-in-training, as Lifetime would have you believe. It’s because these movies are so formulaic and straightforward. Boy meets girl. Boy doesn’t have it together, so boy loses girl. Boy makes a big sweeping gesture to prove to girl that he’s better than that.
And I don’t understand how seeing 30 variations on this formula improves your understanding of women. According to interviews, he now has a better understanding of his wife’s body language, and improved his kissing. If it takes Reese Witherspoon to make some men achieve this, so be it. But body language is something that one usually picks up with more familiarity with their partner. So what I am getting is, he just needed to spend some more time snuggling his sweetie. And considering that this was with his wife, I sure hope he wasn’t that clueless before hand. And I’m proud of the guy, really, I known my tolerance for Meg Ryan is not as developed as my tolerance for bourbon and blondes.
It’s a nice story that melts your heart, but it just rings false to me. I guess you are what you surround yourself with, because the whole idea of this is something that has caught unholy amounts of national attention, and the guy will be on shelves within the next six months. It’s the happy ending and the moral, you watch enough movies with your sweetie, you bond. Only, my problem is that this isn’t real life. Most of us don’t just become better people through grand gestures. Life doesn’t follow formulas. We don’t fall for the girl that’s been there all along, we don’t become better people by watching movies. God knows, I wish that my problems could be solved with a boom box and Peter Gabriel, but I keep coming up with Shock The Monkey.

The female body is a public space
Katlego Mashiloane and Nosipho Lavuta, Ext. 2, Lakeside, Johannesburg Circa 2007 © Zanele Muholi
This is an image from prominent South African artist, Zanele Muholi’s extensive series of work on the politics of the black female form. A graduate of the Market Photo Workshop in Johannesburg, Muholi has always focused a great deal on issues of female sexuality and identity. A lesbian herself, Muholi’s work has often attracted severe criticism, and at times straight rejection, as a result of the bold, intimate gaze that her camera seems to cast on the naked female form.
Take for instance the recent bruhaha sparked by our Arts and Culture Minister Lulu Xingwana who stormed out of Muholi’s exhibition opening labeling the images ‘pornographic’ and ‘immoral.’ Xingwana’s department was due to speak at the opening given that her department had contributed R300 000 toward the event. The minister’s reaction is telling of the contradictions that inform the way in which society views the female body.
Whether plastered on giant advertising billboards, in magazines, film or art – the fact remains the female body is everybody’s business. Listen to Muholi as she discusses her latest exhibition in which she poses nude in one of Amsterdam’s red-light districts: TimesLIVE Podcast: The black female form under scrutiny
Super HeroiHOT #14: Psylocke
Pink, skin, purple hair, everything that's stereotypically girly and fulfilling of fantasies
I decided to go after another X-Men today. I realize that I haven’t done a Super HeroiHOT in awhile, but such is the life. Plus, I just uploaded images for 4 characters I plan on doing soon to ComicVine over the weekend. So, HA!
Overall, I felt like my 1000 Things We Hate post from earlier didn’t get out my full vehemence… So, I chose a character that could do that.
APPEARANCE:
This is all you need to know about Psylocke: ass and S&M fantasies
Psylocke… You are on Vampirella’s level. This is especially apparent during the Jim Lee era of Psylocke where she was constantly flaunting around in a thong. What’s wrong with this costume/the whole character design is pretty obvious… nevertheless, here’s a list:
- She’s a ninja… You have the dark color scheme… mixed with about 70% skin
- All ass
- Impractical!
- Giant breasts
- Impossible frame
- Supposed to be Japanese (now) but comes usually off as European
- S&M lacey boot things
- Long, loose, purple hair (you’re a ninja…)
- Bandanna on waist should probably catch on things
- Purple Hair with a dark blue/purple costume… Seriously?
IMPRACTICAL!!!
She honestly just does not have good costume choices. The time she spends in the hood and almost entirely covered (seen later) is a move in the positive direction, but the color palette is still impractical, the material of the clothes is too light, and I really just don’t get it.
Point your toes! Arch your back! Hang your ass!
This one point down here, is only because you don’t have a boob window… If that was the case, this would be one of the worst costumes ever.
Appearance: 1/10
PERSONALITY:
That's very concise.
Psylocke is pretty flat as a character. I mean, she seemed more interesting back before she did that whole switching bodies things. Some European girl riding the wave of Super Heroidom with psychic powers is a bit more compelling than another ninja.
See, that Crimson Dawn tattoo above her eye? Apparently, that made her really angry and cold despite it saving her life. Overall, I find her a frigid ice queen.
The problem is is that she really has this convoluted back story. So, it’s hard to get into what drives her character aside from the regular reactionary stuff. I want to know why she keeps going. Why does she dress up the way she does? Is there some purpose other than giving 11 year olds hard-ons?
Well, the way everyone has written her doesn’t provide this. Things happen to her. She does things in return. She’s pretty damn easy to manipulate. Unlike Karai, I feel that her willpower is little to none.
I would not want to go out on a date with this girl… It would just involve a lot of staring awkwardly past her hoping to see someone I know and me mostly just talking about myself for her to punctuate the conversation with a “Yes, I agree.”
Wow, a bathrobe provides her with more modesty!
Personality: 2/10
SUPER POWERS:
The costume's alright. I've always been a sucker for hoods. Jumping at Emma Frost... you're a ninja... you can do better.
The one skill that makes Psylocke stand out from the rest is her little psionic or whatever you may call it dagger thing that comes out of her arm. It’s a pretty neat pink bedazzle that functions to slice and dice.
Other than that, Psylocke functions as your typical psychic meets assassin.
My Telekinetic Powers come out of my hips, crotch, and arched back, too!
A very frustrating thing about all of her skills is that she hardly uses them in conjunction with each other. I mean, really, you could do a telekinetic pull while running off a wall and jumping at the person. These two powers really work well together but she either does one or the other.
My skill set involves showing off some booty shots!
To top all of this off, Psylocke has been through a lot of shit. Apparently she’s supposed to be a super badass ninja, and yet all of the times she’s been pulverized by (Sabretooth, mostly) loads of people really begs the question of “is she as powerful as the grandiose comics claim?”
Overall, she has a decent skill set, but the originality lies within a weapon and the mix of two of the most common powers ever… so, how far do you really expect her to go?
Super Powers: 5/10
SECRET IDENTITY:
Hey! Look! She actually looks Japanese... except they're making her read a girly magazine... way to amp up the image, Marvel!
Back when she had a European body, it seemed like she was a young teen trying to have fun and make sense of the world.
Nowadays, she basically just focuses on whatever she’s heading for/against which eliminates the opportunity for a developed secret identity. When the occasion presents itself, she’s often characterized as a pseudo-typical (according to male eyes) woman who likes the girly things in life.
But mostly, she’s just distracted by business.
Secret Identity: 2/10
ADDITIONAL:
She’s naked in those “cute,” “ditsy,” “circumstantial,” “girly” ways a lot.
I am a princess (sort of) so you better!
Common utterances for women, I'm sure.
"Oh Dear," indeed.
- 5
Quite frankly, I just don’t see Psylocke of having any redeeming qualities aside from a tangled mess of a history, shitty costume, and lack of continuity.
This basically sums up everything impractical about Psylocke. Sure, the up shot is supposed to empower her, but it basically functions to highlight her crotch. Plus, why would you wear fabric that tears so goddamn easily? And, does she look Japanese? Because, I sure as hell don't think so.
- 5
GRAND TOTAL:
0/40
…Ummm, this kinda means that I could have gone without the whole process of judging you for Super HeroiHOT…
Here’s some advice, Marvel:
- Re-develop Psylocke’s backstory into something coherent
- Re-design her hooded costume into something ninja appropriate (see Karai’s outfit from the TMNT animated movie)
- If the redevelopment of her backstory still maintains her as Japanese, then make sure she looks Japanese in every goddamn frame, you idiots
- Develop a voice for the character… she can’t just react to every goddamn thing. She has to have agency. Revenge motive or what?
- While developing, make sure that there’s just as much emphasis on her normal life as that of her super-heroing
- Re-think her powers. I like her powers, but I don’t feel like they’re utilized in the appropriate way or to the degree that she flaunts it
- Put a strong writer on the book. I would highly suggest a woman in the vein of what Gail Simone is doing with Wonder Woman or even what Greg Rucka (a man) is doing with Batwoman
If not even one of these suggestions is followed, then you’re going to have yet another piece of shit female character trash that will continually fuck up your image for women, Marvel.
On that note, I am picking up Girl Comics, tomorrow.
Sorry, you're pretty much useless, anyway.
