Michel Foucault described the emergence of “peripheral sexualities” from the end of the 18th century: “An entire sub-race was born, different…from the libertines of the past…They were children wise beyond their years, precocious little girls, ambiguous schoolboys, dubious servants and educators, cruel or maniacal husbands, solitary collectors, ramblers with bizarre impulses…This was the numberless family of perverts who were on friendly terms with delinquents and akin to madmen.” – from M. Foucault – The History of Sexuality

Nabbed “Departed” Mob Boss Bulger = surprisingly HOT as a Young Thug…
1953 Boston Police - James "Whitey" Bulger
His early mug shots attest to a certain brooding criminal sexiness. Whitey Bulger, the inspiration for Martin Scorsese’s The Departed, was arrested in Santa Monica earlier this month. The 82 year-old mobster ran Boston’s south side for decades and was responsible for dozens of gangland killings. Jack Nicholson portrayed him in the movie.

Quick! Before he gets away! Seen at the entrance of the art department sub-gallery at Stanford. Stenciled onto a concrete retaining wall. Neat-O.

The Dr Pepper Sutra
Bigger than a housecat. Smaller than a lion. Dangerous, but bubbly and surprisingly refreshing! The Buddha Nature sharpens it’s claws.

Real Urban Cowboy…Really
He got onto his horse and he rode into the city. Hat, boots, bandana, duster, even spurs: this dude’s got it all. No event. He’s just riding through town. A sight seen in Willits, California. Hippies, cowboys, farmers, bikers in a Far West mix. In Mendocino County, a town with 5 stoplights qualifies as a city. Seriously. This is NorCal. Not LA. You know what they say…save a horse. Ride a cowboy!

The Real Hairy Deal: Genuine California Bear
Ursine Megafauna coming down from the hills for a little party perhaps. This one was taken by my elderly mother on her iPhone, from the back patio of friends of hers in the Sierra Foothills, during a dinner party. Pause the cello music, please. And yes, I think I will take more wine. West slope, under 2000 ft elevation. Perhaps he was on his way down to Sacramento to chat up the politicos. Lobby THIS, people. Grrrrrrr!

Buy it online! 30 Years into the AIDS epidemic, HIV virus is decorative wall Art.
Doubt the death of the author? At art.com, visitors can choose images from the library and preview them framed over the couch in a choice of living rooms or stretched over canvas above the toilet in the bathoom. It’s the ‘view-in-room’ option, a database-driven, semi-automatic and very interactive shopping experience. Most of their images are drawn from the visual arts canon, but they also offer medical stock photography and other arcane scientific and historical subjects, which make for some very strange interior design possibilities. Pictured here: AIDS Virus, Black Background Photographic Print, 32′ x 24″ framed, displayed in the #2 children’s bedroom option. Get it here. Or not.
