难道我有被人想包去旅行的脸?

而且都是uncle!

啊,我不依!

有个uncle 想要包我去巴厘岛,另外一个uncle 在认识我之后就说想带我到处去玩,有一个已经着手订着周末 Fraser Hill 酒店的房间。

从好的方面想,或是我还有一点魅力,或是他们都喜欢我的陪伴。

从坏的方面想,或是我的市场已越渐“成熟”,或是他们只是寂寞要人陪。

是 uncle 才有钱有闲嘛!我懂的。幸好我对 uncle 没有抗拒,也相当喜欢他们的稳重及知识。


巴厘岛uncle 我已经婉拒了,从此音讯全无。 哈哈!
到处玩uncle 我有心他没有,说说而已,电话越来越少,见面更是越来越从缺。
至少 Fraser Hill uncle, 我觉得他对我是真心的。看造化啦!

Sempurna 第二次帮衬 - Richard

就如我愿,第二次造访Sempurna,我点了Richard 帮我服务。其实我是想点一个马来人叫Karim 的,但妈妈桑说他 not available 所以作罢。
这次我点了full body massage 90mins。 因为我又是6pm 前去,所以价钱比较便宜,RM60,妈妈桑解释说60mins 的 RM40 按摩师不脱,我选的就有脱。

这么不巧,我造访时Sempurna 部分房间停电, 听Richard 说是隔几间的按摩院 Paradise 施工造成的。不够房间,我被带到最角落的房间,没有冷气,窗户大开 又亮 (好害羞)又热,后来热的不得了Richard 才去找另一间

其实妈妈桑说有脱,也不过是脱上衣而已,Richard 还是穿了一条短裤。在他换短裤时,我有偷瞄到他是穿朱红色内裤的,而且看起来家伙不小 。可惜没脱。他也已经开始有小腹了。

就按摩来说,Richard 还真的不错,有力道技巧也还好。但他的电话一直响,SMS 一直接,其实还蛮扫兴的,有点不专业咯! 按摩背部脚部完了转过身后,他只是大致上按一按脚及大腿,就帮我按摩 jj 了。因为我自己前一晚才打了飞机,他帮我揉了很久我都没有太大的反应,他只好出杀手锏 - 用手指插我肛门 。那时我反应才来了 ,他就顺势帮我越打越大力,终于才射了。哈哈!他还很调皮的说有些人不 fuck 是不能射的,然后问我是不是这样,害我不知道怎样回答他。 然后他又说我肛门还蛮紧,问我是不是很久没有 fuck 了,有够力八卦的咯他! 他说他曾经有一个马来客人甚至叫他 fisting,他拳头及手腕都进去了,他一脸洋洋得意地说很脏,受不了他!

Richard 比较能谈,因为他英文不错,人也比较健谈。我大概知道他的在缅甸家人背景,他来到大马做过什么工作。他在 Sempurna 也不过做了大约半年时间,他说“此地不宜久留!”再做半年,他想到新加坡工作。我相信他不是 plu 啦,其实做同志按摩也还真的难为他了,为了赚钱没有办法咯!

另外,他整天讲 fuck fuck fuck 的,不懂他有没有做 extra 的呢?

最后,我给了他RM10 做贴士。下次应该不会叫他了。 除非没有选择,然后会试试 body2body 因为想看看和摸摸他的 jj

重新开始

每个人都会在人生的不同阶段停滞,有些是死路,有些是瓶颈,有些不过是小小的障碍。大约是半年前的时间,我的人生长跑中出现了瓶颈,也跑到了死路。转回头是一片灰茫,向前看是一片死寂。老实说,这半年的时间我一直在原地踏步。不是因为惧怕,也不是拒绝改变,而是踌躇,因为不知道第一步应该踏向哪里。

常听说时间能治愈一切。如果不是真的,它至少能让感觉麻木。麻木了,心灵才会多出一点空间省思要到达的目标,或只是纯粹的如何从死胡同里走出来。

上个星期做的健康检验报告也在前天拿到了。除了尿酸及胆固醇稍微超标,身体一切良好。没有梅毒,也没有爱滋。
犹豫好久的健身中心会员籍,上个星期也一并签了。希望接下来的三年半能持续的运动,游泳和做瑜伽。
跟阿历斯的感情略见曙光,不敢多想,就顺其自然吧。

仿佛在死胡同一个阴暗的角落看到了一扇门,只有在暗处待了好一阵子瞳孔开始适应了才发觉它的存在。开了会有阳光吗?还是只是另一个胡同?我希望是一个起点,让我重新开始。

胆粗粗去试了Sempurna的B2B按摩





从来没有试过本地同志按摩,今天胆粗粗去试了Sempurna的B2B按摩。

http://www.sempurnavenue.com/

上到2楼,就有一位身材不错但不高的可爱型帅哥招呼我坐下,不久就拿了一叠照片叫我选按摩师,搞得我不好意思。随便翻翻,好几个都满帅的,正可谓环肥燕廋皆有,让我头昏脑胀。过不久,不高的可爱型帅哥就过来问我选了谁,我就说随便啦,谁都可以。他看起来有点confused,可能通常客人都会选按摩师吧!但是很快的,他就翻到其中一页,指着一张照片,标名Alex Sun,然后说“你可以选我啊!”蛮可爱的啦,像大男孩一样。当时他只穿一条牛仔裤,身材不是很壮,但非常自然,是我喜欢的型,我就腼腆的说“好啊!”

选了body 2 body 一个小时 + scrub = RM115 (因为我6pm前去有特价),我就跟着Alex进了房间,不大。脱了衣服就坐着等Alex,他一进来也把牛仔裤脱了剩下内裤,叫我反过身躺下。按摩开始是脚和腿部按摩,Alex的技巧很不错,按得我酸痛的脚爽得不得了,然后慢慢向上移到臀部。他不知几时已经把内裤脱了,蛋蛋及鸟鸟不时碰触我腿,让我有无限遐想。按摩臀部时,他使用手肘,可能我不习惯,痒的咧!

然后是背部按摩,同样用手肘按摩脊椎,手背按摩背部,超爽的!这时他的 j j 已经是顶着我的屁屁 ,害羞的呢!突然,节奏一转,他用下巴按摩我的背部到肩膀。他的须角粗粗的,好爽呢!第一次做b2b,根本不知道要 expect 什么,这一招可真的吓了我一下,但很喜欢! 接下来,他又整个人趴在我背部,用他的胸部按摩,喘息声不时传入我耳里,怪性感的!
(sample - not me!) hahaha.

转过来后,我更害羞了,因为会跟他面对面。Alex 快速的按摩我的腿跟脚后,又整个人趴到我身上,开始用全身摩擦我的全身,用下巴按摩我的胸部及腹部,痒的呢!然后就到整场的高潮戏了 - 帮我出火! 同样用全身按摩,但他的 j j 会顶着我的 j j 来回转动摩擦。一开始我还不懂他要帮我出火了,他转动摩擦了一会儿用手指轻轻捏我的乳头,我才回过神来。呵呵! 这时我也不客气,抓了一下他的 j j,大是大,但是形状怪怪的。但他好像不是很想我碰他那里,会不时避开。可能他不是plu 吧!他很尽力帮我,又用 j j 插我大腿内侧,又帮我吮吸乳头,又帮我打飞机,好一阵子我才依依不舍的射了! 我叫得还蛮大声的,不知道隔壁房有没有听到。

休息了一阵子,Alex 就叫我围上毛巾跟他到另外一间房间做 scrub。这间房就有私人 shower。Alex 的摩砂功力也很不错,不过略嫌赶了点。哈哈!接下来也没有什么好讲的了。冲好凉 (Alex 没有帮我冲),换好衣服,我给了他RM20 贴士,他说谢谢,跟我握手(怪怪的)。我问他是哪里人,他说缅甸。我也没有再多谈了。出去付了钱,收钱的那个好帅哦!我记得在photo album 里看到他是叫着 Richard 的。心里默默想下次要点他!哈哈

在我临走前,可爱的Richard 还拿出一叠翻版DVD 问我要不要,他说是free 的。我笑笑婉拒了。然后我听到Richard 跟 Alex 两人用一种我听不懂的语言对谈,应该是缅甸话了。原来 Richard 也是缅甸人。 相比之下,Richard 就比较壮又帅气,样子坏坏的,笑起来却又有点秀气天真。Richard 也比较有眼神接触,不像Alex 般常常不知道看那里,也不太敢看你。哎,完蛋了,看来我再过两个星期又会回来报道了!哈哈。

我的问题:
1。 做 body 2 body 是不是有包括出火的呢?
2。 给RM20 会不会太多 (或太少)?
3。 如果想要再进一步做更多的 (比如口交或肛交),是不是要问按摩师呢?他们会愿意做吗?如果可以,是不是要自备避孕套及润滑剂?

谢谢看贴。欢迎交流。

败家仔

我对书本和影音光碟没有多大的免疫力。

茨厂街大众书局中文部已决定搬迁至Jalan Hang Lekir 的英文部那儿,现在正举行搬迁大折扣,相当多书都抛出70-80%的价钱。对我这些没有免疫力的人是致命的伤害。

上个星期已和老姐拜访了一趟,扫了6本书总共损伤RM58。昨天下午又和另一个朋友再走一趟,又再次损伤RM58。荷包顿时清减了许多,换来的是午后及睡前的精神进食。

大众书局后跟朋友提起Hartamas的“”,他只听说所以想去拜访,所以我们又风尘仆仆的驾车前去。就这样,我又买了近RM60的同志题材电影光碟。再看看他们有没有性玩具可以买(嘻嘻),虽说他们选择少存货不多又不打算再补货,但我之前买了的超大dildo不太用得着,所以我又以RM90的价钱买了一个普通尺码的dildo。幸好他们没有我一直在找的anaeros,我的荷包才没有再大出血。

总之,在去柬埔寨之前呢,我都不该和不能再败家了!切记切忌

唉...

crazy about Torchwood

thanks to a friend i've come to know Torchwood - a sci-fi, CSI, X-files, thriller all roll into one BBC TV series. i especially like the English (Welsh?) accent, it sounds so sexy! :P

i haven't watched Dr. Who before, in fact i don't plan to, but i found Captain Jack Harkness so so so sexy... look at him - John Barrowman...

so manly and gentle, handsome and pretty, stylish and conservative, all the contradictory words but still correct!! awww.....

he possesses all the fine qualities from Mr. Big from SATC, and Kevin the gay-lawyer-big-brother of Brothers and Sisters...
+
i have such a big crush on both of them. and i think now all my affections are directed towards Captain Harkness. :P look at him!!!!

I have a hot for this guy! 喷火


i think this guy's name is Morgan, working as a model in HK. he doesn't have a big dick, but his face is simply cute and handsome roll into one. eurasian i supposed, but his look doesn't loose any of the good qualities from both world. HOT!!

He doesn't love me anymore...

Ok, maybe i'm wrong about the title. He still love me, but he is not in love with me anymore.

You know it, when he is so happy and willing to neglect work and chat with other friends, but when you try to chat with him, he says he got work to do.

You know it, when he is quiet or having those bored face while supper with you, and he did not even want to look at your face or initiate a talk. But when it comes to his other friends, he pays full attention, reciprocate, laugh with them and he doesn't even notice you by his side or include you in their conversation.

You know it, when he doesn't ask for sex anymore. and he is always tired, prefer to masturbate, and if you insist that you are goddamn horny, he will only then give in to you.

You know it, when he constantly flirt with strangers on the net...

but you know, you will never know it, only until the time comes.

so fuck it. love yourself more. perhaps i should think positively. i just have to be myself, love myself more, and maybe the vibes and self confidence will attract him and love me like he used to be.

update: ya, it's true he doesn't love me anymore, not the same intensity he used to be. so he has decided to call our 3 years relationship off. now, i'm back to single life - life goes on, and i'm alive and kicking!

我的同话故事 1.4

就这样,时间过了三天,也还依然没有人敲我房门。今晚又是上演绎课的时候了。我一如往常的在泳队训练后,提早到达剧院。可能因为太早,连剧院大门也还未打开。我把摩托停放在路边,独自坐上机车座,从书包里掏出课本就读。

大概过了五分钟,一辆摩托从远处驶来。说是驶来,倒不如说是顺着斜坡慢慢滑过来,然后在我身边停下。我一眼就认出他了。当他把头盔脱下时,他对我腼腆的笑了笑。老实说我也有点不知所措,尴尬的轻轻回于一笑。他把头盔及书包放进铁篮,笑脸殷殷的往我的方向走来。

“Hey, my name is Kali.”
我当然知道你是谁啦,我心里想,思绪凌乱。“You can call me GD.”
“You are always so early.”
“Yup, just after my training, don’t feel like going back to hostel, so… ya…”
“I heard you are a swimmer… and a lifeguard too… right?”
“Haha, you can’t tell from my body right? I’m just too thin. Haha, a disgrace to my team really.”
“Your body look great!”
我心里想,你这家伙还真敢!“Thanks anyway!”

沉默……

结果还是他先开口,“Hey, I’m from management school, so I have totally no experience in performing arts. I took this paper out of my interest, but I found it difficult to understand some of the lectures…”
我心里想,来了来了,竟然这么快就要使出KK那一招了吗?“Em hmm…”
“So I’m thinking if it’s possible, can I borrow your notes, well just to compare notes…”
“Well, ok… but I didn’t bring it with me today wor… how?”
我伸手往书包里掏了掏,其实笔记早就好好地放在书包里了,但我还是故意地说了以上那一段话。我当然有我的计谋啦!
“If you don’t mind I can go over to your hostel tomorrow night to collect it, maybe I can also take that time to ask you about some parts of the notes that I’m not clear with… can?”
“Haha, sure can!”
“So, I’ll just knock on your door tomorrow ok!”
“Sure, no problem.”

沉默……

“You don’t know about my room number and the hostel I stay in, how are you going to find me huh?”
他仿佛像做了错事的小孩被揭穿般的模样,腼腆的笑笑说,“Ya hor, where do you stay actually huh?”
看到他的笑容,还有深深的梨窝,我心想,好帅的男生哦!“I’m staying at Desa Aman, room 207.”
“OK… thanks!”
“So, tomorrow is it? About what time you’ll be coming?”
“9 something or 10… depends on whether you are free during that time…”
“I will be in whole night, so you come around 9 should be fine!”
“OK!”

结果那一晚的课我完全听不进去,眼神一直在追踪着Kali的身影。好几次眼神跟他碰上时,我们彼此都会心的一笑。而我的心,早已在彩排着明晚的对白了……

我的同话故事 1.3

今天的讲堂挤满了人,可能是主修课的关系,而且期中考也靠近了,每个人都想讲师是时候给贴市了吧。大老远我又看到KK刚从大门挤了近来。刚好我旁边还有一个空位,我便挥挥手示意KK过来。

他一走过来便神秘兮兮的问,“怎样?好看吗?合眼缘吗?”
“你傻了啊?才看一次就知道咩?那有酱神!”
“但是他很喜欢你喔!但他太害羞!他还问我要怎样approach你呢!你说呢?”
“我怎么知道...”
“我就知道你会说不知道!所以我就跟他说,不如他假假到你房问你功课或借课本咯。”
我在心里暗咒KK,这家伙好管闲事!
他继续说,“怎样?他说他不敢冒冒然闯进你房间。所以他叫我问过你先!”
“我几时俜你当我的经理人啦?”
“嗨哟,怎样?就一句嘛!何必婆婆妈妈的...”
“但酱的招数很老套吧!”
“管他!最重要受!So,到底怎样?”
“......”
“怎样?你又不用做什么...迟疑些什么?”
“好吧。叫他过来吧!...酱他知道我知道了吼?”
KK又一声淫笑,“我做事你放心!”
“他娘的!”我心里又一阵暗骂...

(3...待续)

我的同话故事 1.2

那天我非常早就到剧院等待上课,空空的剧院安静得可以。我坐在第一行的阶梯发呆。刚刚从泳队的训练回来,累得我连四肢都不想动一动。突然剧院的门被推开,一个印度男子走了进来,我吓得整个人坐直了身躯。

会不会是他呢?我的心脏差点要跳出嘴巴。

他对我笑了笑,坐上了后几排的阶梯。不是这个人啦!干嘛神经兮兮的!哈哈!

15分钟后,同学们陆陆续续的走进了剧院,KK还是一贯的姗姗来迟。班上有好几个印度男子,到底是哪一个呢?我的心根本不能安定下来好好听课。讲师顶着肥肥的肚腩,说了一些什么老实说我一点都听不进去。我的脑在人群中扫射,希望可以寻到一些蛛丝马迹。

“好吧同学们,大家下来围个圆圈准备热身!”当大概三十个人慢慢的走到台上围好了圆圈,大门打开了,KK大踏步的走了进来。他走到人群中一站,我立刻就注意到他身旁的印度男子很亲切的跟他打了招呼,两人聊了起来。热身的过程中,KK向我使了眼色,“就是他了!”然后他又淫淫的笑。我开始打量对面的这个男子,跟我一样的身高及身材,有着阳光的笑容,笑起来还有深深地酒窝。我们的眼神交互时,两人都腼腆的避开。就这样,我们连招呼都没打,课就结束了。

(2...明天再继续写。。。)

我的同话故事 1.1

从小到大老实说并没有太多机会接触情情爱爱,毕竟家教蛮严的,所以当你通过朋友告诉我你对我有意思时,我的心里小鹿乱撞得不行!

那年我大学二年级,正愁于该拿那一张选修课,结果我选择了演艺班。土土的我在人群中根本不突出,心想也还好啦,可以安心课业,虽然颇具阿Q精神。但我不晓得竟然有一双眼睛在注视着我。我的朋友KK是个公开的同志,寻找男友并不是问题。而我这些柜里的人,要嘛不敢想,要不然就扮清高,而我是后者。

有一天KK不经意的跟我透露了你喜欢我的消息,我着实吓了一跳,心里除了WTF及窃喜外,还有许多不可思议的成份在。那时我不知道你是谁,只知道你是演艺班里的同学,而且是个印度人(OMG!)。KK说go ahead啊,没有什么损失,而且你也蛮好看的,重要的是你真的蛮喜欢我的。我说我害怕啊,老哥,如果成的话这可是我第一次恋爱啊。你是印度人,文化上也应该有很大的差异吧?更何况我英文不好,沟通会是一个难题吧!KK暧昧的笑了笑,把谜底揭晓了。原来他早把我宿舍的房间号码告诉了你,很大可能那一天你壮起了胆会无声无息的杀到我房间去!

空气突然凝着,是我的自信心在作祟!他在阵阵淫笑声中逃离现场,留下我一人凝重的呆着,想着那随时逼近的爱情,即等待又怕受伤害...

Queer cinema

Queer cinema. Queer cinema has been in existence for decades although it lacked a label. Films of Jean Cocteau and Jean Genet in France in the 1930s and 1950s (such as Le Sang d'un poète, Jean Cocteau, 1934, and Le Chant d’amour, Jean Genet, 1950) are cited as the forefathers (sic). It is a cinema that is identified with avant-garde or underground movements (for example Kenneth Anger’s and Andy Warhol’s 1960s films in the USA). In the avant-garde world of cinema, lesbian film-makers' presence is quite strong too (for example Ulrike Ottinger, Chantal Akerman, Pratibha Parmar). Although we could go on listing names for this heritage of Queer cinema, another of the greats has to be Rainer Werner Fassbinder (working in the 1970s and early 1980s) - even in his seemingly mainstream (European art) films he was taking genres to task and re-interpreting them through a gay and queer sensibility (see: Fear eats the Soul, 1974; The Marriage of Maria Braun, 1979). And it is fitting perhaps that his last film, Querelle (1982) - based on Genet's 1947 novel - is fully about gay and queer desire. And, finally on this list, what could be queerer and braver than the Brazilian film-maker Hector Babenco's 1985 film The Kiss of the Spiderwoman in which the macho arch-revolutionary succumbs to the charms of the flamboyant queen in his prison cell?

Queer cinema itself was introduced as a concept in 1991 at the Toronto Festival of Festivals, to refer to a spate of films (beginning in the late 1980s) that re-examined and reviewed histories of the image of gays. These films proposed renegotiated subjectivities, men looking at men, gazes exchanged, and so on. They also took over genres previously considered mainstream, subverting them by bringing the question of pleasure on to the screen and the celebration of excess. In certain cases these films reinscribed the homosexual text where previously it had been elided. See, for example, Derek Jarman’s historical film Edward II, (1991), or Tom Kalin’s murder/crime thriller Swoon (1992) (the latter is a ‘remake or retake’, setting the record straight (!) of two earlier versions of the true story of a murder committed by two young men of a 14-year-old boy in Chicago in 1924. The first version was the Alfred Hitchcock film, Rope (1948), and the second a Richard Fleischer film, Compulsion (1959). Both films completely elide the homosexual dimension to the two killers’ relationship.

Always a cinema of the margins, only now in the 1990s, in the light of the tragedy of AIDS, has queer cinema become a more visible cinema. Indeed, the New Queer Cinema, as this cinema is also labelled, has presently become a marketable commodity if not an identifiable movement. One of the leaders of the Amercian queer cinema is Gus Van Sant (My Own Private Idaho, 1991; Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, 1993). New Queer Cinema was a term coined in a 1992 Village Voice article by B. Ruby Rich to describe the renaissance in gay and lesbian film-making represented by the Americans Todd Haynes, Jennie Livingstone, Gus Van Sant, Gregg Araki, Laurie Lynd, Tom Kalin and the British film-makers Derek Jarman and Isaac Julien. Queer cinema is not a single aesthetic but a collection of different aesthetics – what Rich delightfully refers to as ‘Homo-Pomo’. It is a cinema that takes pride in difference. Queer cinema is above all a male homosexual cinema and focuses on the construction of male desire. Some lesbian film-makers have made films that come under this label and it is instructive that they have made films that address not just their sexuality (as in Go Fish!, Rose Troche, 1994) but that of their male counterparts (Paris is Burning, Jennie Livingstone, 1991).

Queer as a politics has not resolved lesbian invisibility. There exists still (as within the heterosexual world of the film industry) an inequality of funding for lesbian film-makers as opposed to gay film-makers. Gay is perhaps more cool than lesbian at present, and one does wonder - cynically perhaps - if Philadelphia (Demme, 1993) would ever have been financed by Hollywood if the New Queer Cinema had not come along at the beginning of the 1990s and enjoyed the success it did with mainstream as well as gay audiences. Having said that , there are some lesbian feature films, although for the most part, they pre-date New Queer Cinema - an exception being Patricia Rozema's beguiling When Night is Falling (1995). Of the 1980s' films we can count Born in Flames, Lizzie Borden, 1983, Desert Hearts, Donna Deitch, 1985, I've Heard the Mermaids Singing, Patricia Rozema, 1987. Due to lack of financing, most lesbian film-makers have opted for video to develop their counter-cinema in an unfettered way much as other marginal cinemas before them have done - such as women's cinema, and cinema nôvo as it developed into garbage cinema (see Sadie Benning, Jollies, 1990, Pratibha Parmar, Khush, 1991, Shu Lea Cheang, Fresh Kill, 1994).

It is quite probable that Queer cinema as a term came about by identification with trends in critical theory begun in the mid-1980s, namely, Queer theory. Queer theory can be seen as a desire to challenge and push further debates on gender and sexuality put in place by feminist theory (amongst others) and also a critical response to the numerous discourses surrounding AIDS and homosexuality. Queer theory is, arguably one of the first truly postmodern theories to be born in the age of postmodernism. In its practice it is extremely broad. It is a concept that embraces all 'non-straight' approaches to living practice - including, within our context, film and popular culture. As a politics, it seeks to confuse binary essentialisms around gender and sexual identity, expose their limitations and suggest that things are far more blurred (for example, think of the spectator pleasure derived from watching Robbie Williams wearing a dress and singing one of his many hit songs - as he did in one of his video promos). It is more than a subversion of straightness, it is also more than an exposing of the fact of hegemonic homosociality and the hypocrisy of denial. It is in fact far more celebrative than that. In a sense it challenges everyone's assumptions about gender and sexuality. It shows how you can queer-read ('queried') virtually everything as just one other, equal not subordinate, way of reading the texts. Queer readings go 'against the groin' (Verhoeven, 1997, 25). Queer theory examines queer at work, that is, the making or writing about gayness by authors and film-makers. Doing queer work can be done by all sexualities. Thus, straights, bisexuals, transexuals, transgenders, gays and lesbians who are writing or making texts about gayness are performing, enacting Queer[ly]. Queer theory can open up texts and lead us to read texts that seem straight, differently - or view them from a new and different angle. Thus a queer reading can reveal that you are watching (reading) something far more complex than you originally thought you were (think of buddy films for example). The actor or film-maker does not have to be queer, but the text or performance may offer itself up for a queer reading (Joan Crawford as the cross-dressing gun-toting but butchly feminine Vienna in Johnny Guitar, Nicholas Ray, 1954).

New Queer Cinema is unconcerned with positive images of queerness, gayness or lesbianism, but is very clearly assertive about its politics - starting with the expression of sexuality as multiplicity and not as fixed or essentialized. Thus stereotypes of queerness get reappropriated and played with. True camp (not the appropriated camp of straight cinema) priviliges form over content but with a purpose. Queer camp is about trashing stereotypes with flash and flounce anddress in excess. It is about ridiculing consumer passitivity through delibrate vulgarity. It is about (as in the original French sense of the word camper: to play one's role) assuming fully and properly one's performative role. In terms of stereotypes, camp itself and narcissism get some royal send-ups in The Adventure of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Stephan Elliott (1994) and in Go Fish! Queer Cinema challenges the view that homosexuality and lesbianism must have value ascribed to it (as good or bad) - it just is. There are political implications about homosexuality and lesbianism, but so too are there about race - as indeed black gay and lesbian film-makers make clear (Looking for Langston, Isaac Julien, 1988). In Queer cinema and theory, the gaze as well as questions of visual pleasure come under scrutiny. Since the relays of looking are different within the screen, so too must they be outside the xcreen and in the spectator's eyes. More pleasures can be experienced by the spectator as he or she adopts different positionalities within the narrative. In some ways this is not so new if we think of pornography and the pleasure in viewing for the spectator (male of female) of the typical tried aset-up which includes a lesbian scene or two to get things warmed/hotted up. But it may be that Queer theory makes us feel more comfortable speaking about it. Interestingly pornography as a critical debate within film studies has only truly emerged in the 1990s - perhaps coming on the heels of the effects of Queer theory.

Queer Cinema has crossed over into mainstream and not all of it is made by gay or lesbian film-makers. And this in a way is the point. It is not that it has been co-opted, although some critics' responses to Wachowski's lesbian neo-noir Bound (1996) warn us how difficult it is to be clear on this. However, I would argue that this crossover is more a case of queerness being a recognized state-of-being amongst others. In 1998-9 alone, there were six very ostensibly queer films (at the very least), two of which were made by women and all of which were box-office successes: Being John Malkovich (Jonze, 1999), Boys Don't Cry (Pierce, 1999), Gods and Monsters (Condon, 1999), High Art (Cholodenko, 1998), Love is the Devil (Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon) (Maybury, 1998), The Talented Mr Ripley (Minghella, 1999). None of these films gloss over on what it means to have a queer identity, nor indeed the difficulties this can represent in terms of social acceptability. Only the first film has a light outcome with a lesbian relationship asserting itself after a series of fun-filled adventures entering into the mind and eye's view of John Malkovich. Gods and Monsters' study of the career of the gay film-maker James Whale (he directed the 1930s Frankenstein movies) gives us a sense of what it was like to be queer in Hollywood at a time when hetero-normativity was very big. The other four films, it has to be said, however, are quite dark, either because death is the outcome of the intolerance of others (Boys Don't Cry; The Talented Mr Ripley), or because they unflinchingly show the harder side of lesbian and gay society (High Art; Love is the Devil).

Queer Cinema advocates multiplicity: of voices and of sexualities. Multiplicity in a generic sense also: vampire films and comedy. thrillers and musicals. Unstick the queer from the moribund representation to which much of mainstream cinema has confined 'it'. Queers are neither the depressed anomics nor the serial killers some film-makers would have us believe (see Winterbottom's offensive Butterfly Kiss, 1994). To rewrite Foucault: 'Queer is everywhere'. The signs of queer globalization are there to see. Almodovar's work is an obvious first citation in terms of Europe. But Asian queer is also on the scene (Chen Kaige's Farewell My Concubine, 1993, Zhang Yuan's East Palace/West Palace, 1996, Wong Kar-Wai's Happy Together, 1997). It is no longer a case of having to find it, but 'to connect'.

相由心生

Wait, this is not a moral post. Don't worry that I'll you nag you about how ethical you should be.


I'm going to talk the type of guy I like; their appearance as well as personality that got reflected on their outlook.


Basically I like "good boy" image, those appear to be boy-next-door face definitely is my weakness, my feet will go limpy over their sweet naive and innocent smile. [expect to see a lot of sweet boys and men with sweet smiles on this blog ya!]


Here, an example for you:




Say, do you feel his sincerity?


Whether or not he is handsome, it's not my priority. Chinese says as long as his look is 顺眼, i love decent look.


Give you one more photo of this guy named King again, because I can't seem to get enough of looking at him and his sweet smile:





OMG, his butt is just perfect. So ya you guess correct, I don't like skimpy or flat butt. If I want to look at skinny and fleshless butt, I'd just have to look into the mirror. [grin]


In fact, in term of physical quality, I like my guy to be a bit "meaty".... nope nope nope, I'm not chaser nor am I muscle worshiper... Maybe by understanding what I dislike, then you will be able to understand what i like...


I dislike [just personal preference please, I'm not discriminating on anyone!]:


1. Skinny, no flesh to hold.

2. Too muscular... like overworked. Although i know how hard you hunks work in the gym, but if it's too hard, then it's going to be "fake"... it's real I know... but i just dislike too "hard" body, okay, certain "organ" is an exception, no doubt about it. [teehee]

3. Too arrogant, ya don't give me your attitude, or think that you are diva or god or anything. That to say, even if you are famous or great achiever or something, please be humble and friendly. Down to earth attracts me more.


So, now I think you should know why I like this King guy so much. He is just "ngam ngam", not too much not too little. ;)
