Tights in Art

Some time ago Geraden and Co introduced “Tights in Art” historical paintings gallery, mostly featuring men wearing pantyhose (tights) or stockings. The idea was to demonstrate that tights were worn by men long before women got their legs into them. The collection has grown to almost 40 pictures.

On the left: “Blue on pink” by Ann Murray. For those, who are interested here’s a link to her gallery.

What you can find looking at the logs

How often do you check the web-logs and especially referrers? I strongly recommend you check them periodically, as often as possible. You never know what gem is hiding in debries of the cold looking statistics.

Part I What are they looking for?

Someone looking for しみずまさかず found my site. On-line translators gave me two variants:

  • Without stinging ま is not torn
  • Shimizu never the ず

Ovbviously it is related to Masakazu Shimizu, but personally I like the first translation. It is as poetic as useless! I searched the Internet for that string and found lots of fetish hentai pictures. Ain’t that nice?

Part II Who mentions you site?

That was one of those gems.  I thought I visited all interesting selfbondage related sites, but this selfbondage link-page proved me wrong. The site is in Russian, but don’t worry if you don’t speak it, just keep clicking.

Sexy pissoirs – part II

pissoir2-1Remember Sexy pissoirs – part I ? This is what I’ve found on The Register today:

‘Sexist’ Austrian urinals dumped on eBay

Women’s groups pissed at mouth-shaped porcelain

Four “sexist and misogynist” urinals have been removed from a public toilet in Vienna and offered for sale on eBay, Reuters reports.The offending pissoirs – lovingly sculpted by local artist Rudolf Scheffel and installed in “toilet-bar Vienna”, next to the National Opera – caused a bit of a rumpus during the run-up to the 1 pissoir2-2October parliamentary elections when they were “used by political party supporters attending rallies nearby”. Although the urinals had been in service for three years, this political exposure provoked women’s groups to slam the offensive porcelain, which resulted in its removal.The seller promises: “Each urinal will, of course, be meticulously cleaned. The artist himself will sandblast it, brush the mouth’s teeth, and give them a new varnish.”

Mick Jagger was unavailable for comment this morning.

Masakazu Shimizu again

For those of us who enjoy art-works of Shimizu-san (see my post earlier), but not fluent in Japanese enough to buy his works, here’s a tip: start your favourite peer-to-peer program (eMule, eDonkey, Kazaa, etc) and search for “黒妖社”.

Of course, you can try any Internet search engine first. This is what I’ve found:

http://saihate.petit-fts.com/gallery00.htm under ＜黒妖社のしみずまさかず様から＞
http://www.ya.sakura.ne.jp/~keiskr/chika.htm – practically nothing by Masa, but lot’s of funny drawings.
http://naisyo.petit-fts.com/top01.htm – absolutely not related to him 🙂
That should keep you clicking for awhile.
