dale cooper & james jamesson together… good times! (though, why does super hairy jamesson have to shave his hairs around his nipples? seriously… why?)

RAGING STALLION: Circus bearded man James Jamesson is like a Viking: barrel-chested, with dense red body hair. Staring at an old snapshot of a masked man sucking a cock gets James hard. When he strips, his skin is pale making the red in his pubes stand out even more. This bearded man has a secret talent, he can suck his own cock, and he proceeds to get the head of his dick in his mouth while in a shoulder stand. That’s the super erotic position he’s in when circus performer Dale Cooper comes in. Dale – a handsome guy, with a long, curved cock hanging down from retro, bushy pubes – gets out of his clothes quickly, because he wants what James is having. Dale’s. James passes the meat from his mouth to Dale’s. They try other sleight-of-cock tricks you won’t see under the big top, like James sucking himself while Dale sucks his balls. When James comes up for air, his tongue gravitates to Dale’s hole, which is dilated and pulsing. Dale tells him to fuck it, and the penetration is bone-steady to the sweet spot. Dale grabs a ladder for support and takes it every way that James can deliver it. After three positions, both men are awash in sweat and the jism flows like a downpour. Behind The Big Top: Circus bearded man James Jamesson passes his dick from his mouth to Dale Cooper’s.

SISSYDUDE LOVES: Brideshead Revisited tv mini series (1981)

brideshead-1

WIKIPEDIA: Brideshead Revisited is a 1981 British television serial produced by Granada Television for broadcast by the ITV network. The serial is an adaptation of Evelyn Waugh’s novel Brideshead Revisited (1945). Although John Mortimer was given a credit in the titles, Valerie Grove’s A Voyage Round John Mortimer revealed that Mortimer’s script was never used and that the series was actually written by the producer Derek Granger and others. The bulk of the serial was directed by Charles Sturridge, with a few sequences filmed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg.

tumblr_m8wztguPDM1qg0umko1_1280

Broadcast in eleven episodes, the serial premiered on ITV in the UK on 12 October 1981, on CBC Television in Canada on 19 October 1981, and as part of the Great Performances series on PBS in the United States on 18 January 1982.

In 2000, the serial placed tenth on a list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes compiled by the British Film Institute, based on a poll of industry professionals. In 2007, the serial was listed as one of Time magazine’s “100 Best TV Shows of All-Time.” In 2010 it was placed second in The Guardian newspaper’s list of the top 50 TV dramas of all time.

Episode 1: “Et in Arcadia Ego” (Original UK airdate 12 October 1981; 100 minutes) In the spring of 1944, disillusioned Army captain Charles Ryder is moving his company to a new Brigade Headquarters at a secret location he discovers is Brideshead, once home to the Marchmain family and the scene of both pleasant and anguished visits for the younger Charles.

Seeing the house for the first time in many years prompts a recollection of Charles’ first meeting with Lord Sebastian Flyte, the Marchmains’ younger son, at Oxford University in 1922, and the rest of the narrative flashes back to that time forward. At Oxford, two young men quickly bond and, although his cousin warns him to avoid Sebastian and his inner circle of friends, Charles is fascinated by them, particularly flamboyantly foppish Anthony Blanche. Short on funds, Charles finds himself fitfully spending the summer holidays in London with his indifferent and rigid father Edward until an urgent message from Sebastian sends him to Brideshead, where Charles is introduced to a world of wealth and privilege dominated by a powerful devotion to Catholicism.

Susanne Sundfør – ‘The Silicone Veil’ (via erin)

The-Silicone-Veil

the+silicone+veil+Gilford+6

video_photo_2194_v_music

I’m a larva wrapped in silk;
I am dying in burning flesh

Let me out, let me ache
Let me out, let me ache and itch

Get me out of this suit
I go to a funeral every day
I follow these people around
I follow these people like a rat’s tail
I carry their caskets, I sing them good night
They’re better off without me

Beauty is poisonous
Disruptive
Oh, heaven must be an iron rose
Unfolding…

Oh, let me in, let me out,
let me in, let me out!

This is a retirement
from plumbing the veins of rats and kings;
let the stars be my eyes then
unchain the knuckles and latches-
unbutton my wrists.

My skin so thin you can see black holes within;
my eyes so clear they light up the sky…
and sometimes I’ll bend into the silicone veil
and enter this world again as a ghost.

Beauty is poisonous
Disruptive
Oh, heaven must be an iron rose
Unfolding…

Oh, let me in, let me out,
let me in, let me out!

Let me out! x11


‘easter’ – patti smith group

tumblr_lq3abnktlV1qckm0wo1_1280

Patti Smith Group – Easter (1978)

Easter Sunday, we were walking.
Easter Sunday, we were talking.
Isabel, my little one, take my hand. Time has come.

Isabella, all is glowing.
Isabella, all is knowing.
And my heart, Isabella.
And my head, Isabella.

Frederick and Vitalie, savior dwells inside of thee.
Oh, the path leads to the sun. Brother, sister, time has come.

Isabella, all is glowing.
Isabella, all is knowing.
Isabella, we are dying.
Isabella, we are rising.

I am the spring, the holy ground,
the endless seed of mystery,
the thorn, the veil, the face of grace,
the brazen image, the thief of sleep,
the ambassador of dreams, the prince of peace.
I am the sword, the wound, the stain.
Scorned transfigured child of Cain.
I rend, I end, I return.
Again I am the salt, the bitter laugh.
I am the gas in a womb of light, the evening star,
the ball of sight that leads that sheds the tears of Christ
dying and drying as I rise tonight.

Isabella, we are rising.
Isabella, we are rising . . .

—————————————-­—————-

EASTER
(la resurrection)

flower and heart are equal. as one unfolds
the other is closing. the fist of charm.
the dance of fathoms. of voids. of veils.
layer after layer. wall after wall. there
is always more. there is always more after.

the scalloped edges of further valour.
the vigil of soldiers. foot and circular.
the waving tremors of empty warriors.
a thorn in the wound of love. of torture.
another immeasurable pain to suffer.

first dealing w/entry into the spirit.
the wall is pierced and the will assaulted
is vaulted. is shimmied into. is fenced.
fencing defending the sheets of the flesh
winding and binding and then to relax.

seconds of suspension in the pass of pain
wailing, exhaling. passed thru the strange.
this is the formula. the force of the father.
the hand that extends. the heart that is bleeding
hard then harder then silent and beating.

in a space warm and glowing. infinite yet dense.
the tune of chain caught then stretched.
the is the communication of the future.
death is a dance. a ballroom. a glove
an extension of total abandon in/love.

A model wears Art Smith’s “Modern Cuff” Bracelet, circa 1948. Art Smith (1917-1982) was a modernist jeweler born in Cuba to Jamaican parents who eventually emigrated to Brooklyn. He opened his first shop on Cornelia Street in Greenwich Village in 1946 – no small feat. According to the Brooklyn Museum (host of a 2008 exhibit of his work) he was one of the leading modernist jewelers of the mid-twentieth century. Along with being covered by magazines like Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, Smith, an avid jazz lover, once made cufflinks for Duke Ellington which included some notes from Mr. Ellington’s “Mood Indigo.” Mr. Smith was also a supporter of early Black modern dance groups and an active supporter of Black and gay rights. Art Smith was quoted in the 1969 catalog for his one man exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Craft as saying, “A piece of jewelry is in a sense an object that is not complete in itself. Jewelry is a ‘what is it?’ until you relate it to the body. The body is a component in design just as air and space are. Like line, form, and color, the body is a material to work with. It is one of the basic inspirations in creating form.”

sister rosetta tharpe is love (the godmother of rock & roll american masters doc too)

driggs4

QUEER MUSEUM:

Sister Rosetta Tharpe (1915-1973) was a groundbreaking gospel singer and musician, who paved the way for the popularity of rock ‘n’ roll and influenced Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis, among many others.

herrrrr

Tharpe’s biographer, Gayle Wald, found some of the singer’s contemporaries who were willing to talk off the record about her bisexuality; one fellow musician claimed to have walked in on Tharpe and two other women in bed together during her “honeymoon tour” right after her third wedding in 1951.

tumblr_mimx6gu64n1qfskc8o1_1280

“SISTER ROSETTA THARPE The Godmother of Rock & Roll” – Produced & Directed by Mick Csaky – International version – 52 mins/2013 from Directors Cut Films on Vimeo.

Wald writes, “The circulation of this and other lore indicated that the gospel world had its own legends of outlaw identities and behaviors: of sissy men and bulldagger women, of philandering evangelists and pilfering prophets, of hypocrites who boozed up backstage before singing in front of the curtain about the virtues of holy living. For homosexuals in her audiences, rumors about Rosetta’s sexuality might have been liberating, an invitation to look for tell-tale signs of affirmation of their own veiled existence.”

After the war Decca paired her with Marie Knight, a sanctified shouter with a strong contralto and a more subdued style than Tharpe. In their hit, “Up Above My Head”, Knight provided the response to Tharpe in traditional call and response format, then took the role that would have been assigned to a bass in a male quartet after Tharpe’s solo. It has been reported that it was an “open secret”, in show business circles that Knight and Tharpe were lovers.
