AWOL
To those of you who have kindly inquired about my continued existence: I’m delighted to report that I’m still alive. Unfortunately, the same is true of the virus that has infested my body and is currently locked in a death match with my soul for ultimate possession of the physical host. I’ll try to post something tomorrow. Assuming I win.
In the meantime, Richard asked for another weird picture of a ballet dancer, so here you go:

picture – fuckin marvellous!!! now all we need is another bleedin debate about whether this one shaves, waxes or just adopts peculiar poses to support the patriarchy. blah blah blah.
thanks a bunch, violet – still I deserved it
get well soon – if taunting those stupid enough to demand pictures of dancers works as medicine, you’ll be up and about in no time.
maybe a nice dish of poutine…
or better have a look at my site for a link to a truly beautiful piece of wingnuttery (UK) – err once I put it up there, that is. -

I guess you didn’t win. Should we be expecting a post from the virus any time soon?

Paul, thank you for the Peter Pan link. I’ve enjoyed his website immensely. He’s something, eh? But he seems like a deeply sweet person and happy to be himself, and I’m happy for him.
By the way, Nijinsky — the man in the picture for this post — wasn’t actually like that at all. People at the time occasionally referred to him as “andrognynous” on stage, but that was apparently because it was so unexpected for a male to be as openly sensual and erotic as Nijinsky was. Only women were supposed to be sex objects. Nijinsky had enormous sexual charisma, a real animal sort of sexuality that drove both men and women wild. Nowadays I don’t think we would ever call someone like him “androgynous”; he was unequivocably male, just a very sensual, erotic kind of male.
