Buying Pornography, Maybe.

I am thinking about buying Lost Girls by Alan Moore. It is a comic book (drawn by his wife Melinda) where Alice of Alice in Wonderland, Dorothy of The Wizard of Oz and Wendy of Peter Pan meet up to discuss their sexual exploits. If you’d like to know more Alan has a very funny/very crazy interview on Suicide Girls. The link is SFW, but don’t stray from the path, as the rest of Suicide Girls is very definitely NSFW. Any interview that has a question "The book is also very funny and of course there are funny moments that are written. But with something like the picture of Dorothy having sex with the Cowardly Lion, Melinda has drawn it in such a beautiful way that I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be funny" has to be worth 15 minutes of your time.

Anyway, I don’t think that Sinéad would mind terribly if I bought it, other then it costs about €60, we’d have to hide it from the boy till he gets older (how frightenly conservative of me) and we’d need to buy a coffee table to put it on. Is there a place in my life for an expensive oversized leatherbound pornographic alleged masterpiece? Maybe. The completist in me is screaming "buy it!, buy it" and I have very little self control when it comes to these things. I could hide behind the "Yes, but its Art!" debate, but not really.

I currently own one other porn book, again a comic by Spanish Artist Milo Manara, called the Art of Spanking. I bought it on a whim to give it to my father-in-law as a present. I bottled out from giving it to him and kept it. To this day I have never left it casually on a coffee table. I did make a 5’ poster of one of the frames from the book and gave it to friends as a present, which they framed and hung on the wall. It is quite an arresting sight.

I don’t know where I am going with this, other then that I have been thinking about posting pictures of myself naked on the internet (again). I mean it’s my blog, I can do what I want. Maybe I’ll leave my hybrid boxer/Y-front things on, maybe I won’t. Then I’ll photograph all my clothes, and have one of those games where people can come and dress me online.

Maybe I’ll make it into in a coffee table edition. Got to get a nice coffee table first.
