bl33n Ouch!

Every once and again new concepts come forth from the genius of art. These ideas are like seeds strewn to the wind. Most never germinate, but that's the way it goes. For every accepted and utile dream, thousands of balloons deflate on non-nurturing asphalt fields. Nonetheless, hope always offers the potential of success. And, now, along comes bl33n.

From a June 16, 2011 interview http://www.smashboxstudios.com/yello/2011/06/interview-matthias-vriens-mcgrath-launches-bl33n/, Smashbox Studios doing Mathias and Donovan Vriens-McGrath.

Provocation has just met its match. Photographer Matthias and Donovan Vriens-McGrath launch BL33N (pronounced BLEEN) – a Tee shirt line and sexy web-mag destination for all things out of the box, quite literally. Planning to go all out with this new project, the spread of freedom within nudity sit front row center for their new venture as they put “the body” on a pedestal through photography, fashion, and sexuality. After all, he was one of the founders of DUTCH – a provocateur mag from the 90′s. He’s worked on such covers as Details, Glamour, Numero and tons of internationally stemmed publications around the world. In an exclusive interview with me for Smashbox Studios, Matthias speaks loud and clear; His respect for Helmut Newton, the ideas behind BL33N and his photographic vulnerability all connect the Vriens-McGrath adventure to promote freedom…

MVM: Since BL33N is a collection of really great images that will continue to grow as we move onwards, we’ll have a lot of photographers, artists and other collaborators involved. Also, we encourage people to send in pictures of themselves – hopefully as naked as possible! We’ll also feature our T-Shirt collection with a link to our store.

SB: Tell me three things that BL33N will have that no one else does.

MVM: A stunning site with an annual super slick print. Male and female nudity, without being gross but instead open minded about the body. Amazing T-Shirts available on there and at Collette Paris! I’m adding a fourth – A free download of Casey Spooner’s new song.

…But to really answer your question: I love pictures that I find on the weirdest sites, amateur pictures, pictures from mothers of their kids that are sweet, weird art works. Ditto for pics one might find on sex sites and blogs. Photos of rugs or an interior decorator in New Orleans that chats about his obsession on early Baroque. You can’t help but find astonishing beauty and magic just about anywhere…

Check out the website http://www.bl33n.com/ Starting with the Home Page, the visitor knows things are going to be different. Is she saying, "Feed Me"? Ha! The head-over tee shirt projects a wide-mouthed tooth-scary monster. These tees cost $100, but they are

• pre-shrunk
• double enzyme washed for a vintage hand feel
• crew neck
• uni-sized fit
• ribbed neck band
• made in LA USA (echoes of American Apparel?)
• black/white monster printed upside down to be correct when shirt pulled over head

Will this tee change things around? Could this idea be a shifter? To wit,

• the messaging possibilities are endless
• the "head" as an advertising medium is born
• the concept of expression is novel
• baring the chest of itself is revolutionary
• will chest nudity become cultural
• will an industry of under the tee shirt fashion spring up?

A blurb from OHLALAMAG, http://www.ohlalamag.com/en/2011/07/the-bl33n-monsters-.html

If you don't know what it is, BL33N site can be a bit confusing ... and the aboutpage (if you manage to read it all the way to the end without your eyes giving up ...) won't help you much. But if you like shopping for cool crazy t-shirts and feel like you are on some kind of "substanbce" then check it out ;-)

So besides buying T-shirts (I LOVE the monster collection) you can also enjoy several editorials like Rio Monsters, Monter Breakfast or Country Monsters on this special page. 

And that special page is compelling http://www.bl33n.com/editorials... check these images!

Mathias has a great eye for image. Here are a couple of portfolio samples...

OK then... The website is soooo binary. The music is futuristic. With the feel of 2050 about it, surfing around is both challenging and rewarding. Sometimes progress makes discomfort, but... Can you remember the first time? for anything? :)

He Don't Like Big Ones

     

"Tell me why, tell me why I don't like Big Ones?" said He to Her.

She to Him, "I can see no reasons..."

And He, "It's the silicone chip inside my head, programmed ya know.."

She, "The machine, your machine is so clean, so... tell me why?"

Him, "I think I'm switched to small. Small is my badge, my zoom-zoom. Small is me..."

And She, "Don't they rock you, big and juicy as they are? Like two mountain peaks capped with pink snow and a geodesic dome. You don't need reasons. It's primal."

"I suppose they're like a playground with a big bouncy-bouncy. The kind of gigantic, soft and air filled thing kids tramp on. But I am afraid I would die if I put my head in and nuzzled." lamented Him. Adding, "And choke and die!"

"Die... of pleasure, he-he! Die with a mouthful of mammae." smiling She. Sometimes making a joke of a fear works and sometimes not. Not!

"No, No. Tell me why. I need to know. Am I weird? Guys would kill for Big Ones. The bigger the better. No limit." He...

"Well, there are no reasons you have to die, well, er... you wouldn't smother or choke" now with Her brow furrowed and Her mien apologetic. His sensitivities were evident. 

"Maybe, ah, maybe it's because..." He stopped mid sentence.

And She picked up His brain's cadence, "Because you don't like Mondays."

"What reasons do I need to die?" Boom-Boom-Boom, His head echoed.... What...

What He had forgotten was that His first girl happened - on a Monday. Indeed, Nidia had mega-breasts, with stretched areolae. Oh, how He shriveled when she laughed at His Smallness. How her flesh heaved to and fro as her laugh came up from her bowels.

Over time, He came to hate Mondays and to abhor big hooters. Linked in his left brain, Monday and lo-zingyos, a pair of desperadoes. They made him sweat, drip, drip, drip, as if he were being held at tit-point.

She, holding His hand, "Well shoot the whole idea down, down, down. Just dust it down." She tried to comfort Him without knowing about His mental branding of 10 years ago. 

Holding Her hand, He looks to Her with eyes running over with tears, "I don't like Mondays. I like You. You. You. Yuuuuuuu.... the Way You are."

Her

She, "Oh, but I am so small."
Heart a-beat, he thinks, "So am I...So am I!" 


But He loves her so...
Because She is so peachy-keen,
Because She is so sweet, so kind,
Because She makes Him feel so Big...
Because She gives Him reason to live, So, So,
So there!

Boo!

Korean Air, The Way It Was

Perhaps it's the baby blue, perhaps it's the youth, perhaps it's the style B-U-T Korean Air* has the best stewardesses. How can an American company compete? Simply put, could any US company enforce these job qualifications and not get their tail wings sued off?

Though official job postings would never say so, it's been reported that recruiters for South Korea's largest airline only hire young, pretty things under the age of 26.
In Korea, being a flight attendant is considered a prestigious career, and the hiring process is selective and rigorous. For example, it's been reported that girls are scrutinized and must undergo bare-faced inspections for a clear complexion.
They must also have good teeth and be slim. Preferred applicants are under the age of 27, must hold a college degree and meet a height requirement of 5'3".
If the candidates are more than 27, they must possess a special set of skills to be considered. In 2008, a human rights agency accused the airline of discrimination against men in its recruitment of cabin attendants. Of Korean Air's 4,700 flight attendants, 10 per cent or 436, are men. http://travel.ca.msn.com/international/photogallery.aspx?cp-documentid=28245360&page=2

Requirements, as posted:

• Height minimum 5"3
• College degree
• English is required
• Corrected eyesight 1.0 or higher

Indeed, if these criteria were applied to an American Airlines or a USAir flight, there would be almost no cabin crew on board. In fairness, though, the position of stewardess or steward is not nearly as revered in the States. Consequently, a Korean Air flight attendant is special in a way long lost by the domestic American carriers. So what?

If the point of air travel is to get from one place to another safely, it makes no difference as to whether the crew is young, spiffy and sexy as opposed to older, worn and walled. For travelers looking for "more" than boxcar air travel, well, don't go American. Korean Air services 130 cities in 45 countries. As such, if a trip is beckoning, a clever roustabout can pick and choose to taste. Nonetheless, seeing one of those ads, the ones with the baby blue overtones, makes a person want to go - anywhere... they go!

Alright, so there is a tinge of ageism, sexism and probably more -isms at work here. In fact, the idea of this schmaltz makes any self respecting wide bodied American want to yell out, "bullcrap-ola". So the uniforms are crisp, so the flight attendants are attractive and polite, so-so-so...

Boxcar flying is the way for Americans. Herding people, who have come to resemble livestock in proportion, into cramped, crowded and sweaty fuselages is acceptable. After all, what would a pack of people willing to pay extra for a seat, a bag, a pillow, a towel, a drink, and a snack expect? Oh, by the way, the rumored movement to charge for toilet paper by the square has been put on hold by Alaskan Airlines...

Once the self acclaimed GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH, America has fallen into the briers. The three D's (the debt ceiling, default and the debt) appear insurmountable. With no new industry and a prevailing anti-intellectual and anti-science ethos in place, well, pass the beer and the chips, please.

Yeah, if old enough, an American can recall when domestic flying had the feel of Korean Air's offerings. But most of those Americans are either dead, enfeebled or too ensconced in the blah-blah of life to care. The younger Yanks neither care nor do they know any better.

Sometimes it's nice to go back to the way things were, even if the notion is fanciful. Like going to watch a ball game at Fenway Park in Boston, the feeling of nostalgia and significance is awe inspiring. Indeed. And if a post game flight is needed, right-o, Korean Air services  Logan International. Just sayin'... Ta-Da!

*Motto = Excellence in Flying

Hefner is not a Two Second Man, Sorry

Always the need to talk leads to no good. Crystal Harris, the Runaway Playboy Bride, chatted up Howard Stern. Of all things the conversation turned to.... Hugh Hefner's prowess. Now that she has "escaped" the Playboy Mansion and the ultimate hook-up with Hef, Crystal has shared details...

1. Mr. Hefner stays dressed. Crystal never saw him naked.
2. Crystal did love him and the lifestyle.
3. She and Hefner had intercourse only ONE time.
4. Harris was pleased that Hefner didn' t want to have sex more (than once).
5. She did not have an orgasm during their singular encounter.
6. The sole act of intercourse lasted "like 2 seconds".
7. When Stern asked if Hef "came", the Playmate said "no", saying that she asked him to "take it out".
8. She said that she was not turned on by Hefner.

What a pity. http://www.pplume-blog.com/2010/12/third-time-is-charm-hef-harris.html For anyone with half a brain, the idea of a Hefner-Harris marriage was preposterous on its face. Obvious advantages, however, for both parties could be easily defined. Short shrift cannot be given to Hefner's...

• enhanced reputation,
• presumption of sexual prowess (even if not true), and
• publicity for Playboy.

Perhaps Crystal had more to gain, to wit, she

• became famous,
• is likely set for life as a "celebrity",
• has relatively limitless recognition,
• was given jewels, gifts and money.

No indeed, short shrift need not apply. And on those accounts their union, their marriage,  made sense in an twisted, pragmatic way!

There is no surprise that the octogenarian could not curl Crystal's toes. Really! Poor Mr. Hefner... While still quite the sport, the 85 year old stallion is post stroke and hearing aided. Not exactly muscled up and eight inch scary, he appears more avuncular than stud-ful.

But so what. In his own right, Hugh is an amazing man. Perhaps his greatest contribution to mankind is his promotion of one of the greatest rights in the world -> FREE SPEECH. Ha, you thought the answer was going to be titties and more titties. In the early days, Playboy Magazine was a revolutionary turn in pictorial publication. Back then, in 1953, the monthly rag was shocking.

That first issue, costing 50 cents, featured Marilyn Monroe on the cover and as the model pictured as the newly popularized centerfold. (PLAYBOY NUMBERS #1 , #2 AND #3 IN MINT CONDITION USUALLY AVERAGE AROUND $10,000 USD.) http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_value_of_the_first_bound_Playboy_magazine#ixzz1TUBNd2yq

Somehow, this image of Marilyn is still fresh and engorging. Doubtless, Mr. Hefner has done more for the propagation of female beauty than any single individual.

So Hefner's raison d'etre, free speech, has become his current downfall. Stern, himself, a champion of free speech, managed to play the gray mattered challenged Harris like a flute in scoring some ratings points. Too bad those points were scored off of Hefner's foreskin. Ha... Stern forgot to ask if Hefner was cut... Surely he would have, if he had the presence of mind to do so.

Hefner has been classy. He tweeted..

Howard Stern would like me to respond to his interview with Crystal on his show tomorrow, but I don't want to throw her under the bus.

The girls & I are going to watch a movie of their choice tonight, Lindsay Lohan & Tina Fey in "Mean Girls."

And so time moves on. Hefner appears OK. And now Crystal has tweeted, just 30 minutes ago...

The Stern interview scared me, he's harsh. I was unprepared and blurted out things I shouldn't have said, I'm sorry.

Well, so there. Crystal is sorry. To forgive is divine. After all she is just a big kid. Just guessing, but the money is on Mr. Hefner taking the high road. Cool.

HH tweeted 5 minutes ago...

Crystal apologized for her Howard Stern interview, which I appreciated. It didn't have much to do with reality.

All things considered, Mr. Hefner was so fortunate. At the least, he deserves the love, the care and the loyalty of a wife. Crystal is not yet ready for marital prime time inasmuch as she violated Rule #1 of the Bunny's Commandments of Love. (Never make your man look bad!!)

And since Hef has only so many grains of sand left in his hourglass, he will be better off with a more aligned, ready for showtime, bella donna. Time, for him, is of the essence. One thing is certain - there will be another and another and another Playmate du jour as long as Mr. Hefner respires. Image is everything!

Hello Shera, hello! Cool!!!
