Ballet

I posted this stuff before. Le Sacre Du Printemps [Rite Of Spring, 1913] is a ballet about boys, girls and sex. Modern interpretations don't leave any room for doubt. Here are just three sexy clips from Utube. I'm sure you can find the rest.

Bettie

Bettie Page [1923] was every boy's wet dream in the 1950's. She modeled as a pin-up in black & white girly magazines. Bettie was rediscovered in the 1980's when she got cult status, mostly because of her fetish modeling. She performed in a handful of movies in the early 1950's, but most of her work seems to be in photography.

Soul

Stax is a famous soul and R&B record label from Memphis that just celebrated their 50th anniversary. It had [and still has] a lot of famous artist and a lot of famous songs. It was founded in 1957 by white people Jim Stewart (the ST) and Estelle Axton (the AX). Stax relocated in the early 1970's from Memphis to Los Angeles. Here is a little tribute.

Stax style composing ... Isaac Hayes was composing for Sam & Dave when he found a nice riff on the piano. He yelled to David Porter (Dave) to come and find some text wih it. Dave was in the bathroom and Isaac kept yelling. Dave yelled back "Hold On, I'm Comin'".

Some other great songs from the Stax label;
- Booker T & the MG's - Green onions hot groove
- Eddie Floyd - Knock on wood
- William Bell - You don't miss your water
- The Staple Singers - I'll take you there
- Otis Redding - I've been loving you at Monterey, 1967
- The Emotions - Best of my love
- Johnnie Taylor - Who's making love
- Isaac Hayes - Theme from Shaft his breakthrough
- Carla Thomas - Gee whizz
- Angie Stone - Wish I din't miss you new kid on the block

Isaac Hayes ("hello children") did a lot of composing for Stax before his breakthrough in 1971 with the "Theme from Shaft". In 1969 he made his second studio album Hot Buttered Soul, now recognized as a landmark in soul music. The empeethree version is here [65MB./45:00min.]

Linda

It must have been at least 30 years ago that we knocked on the door of Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London for a Linda Ronstadt concert. But of course, the concert was sold-out. I guess I was a terminal romantic by then. So this is a very belated tribute to Linda [1946].

Petter received the "Photographer of the Year 2001" award at the 8th annual "Erotic prizes" in London. He is a very productive erotic photographer and publishes regularly on his own website.

This entry is about his wife, Luba Shumeyko, who also seems to be his favorite model. Luba is from Ukraine and she is a gorgeous looking young woman. Here are three small photo sets from Luba by Petter; set-1, set-2 and set-3.

Maria

Maria Beatty is a female New York filmmaker who directs, acts, and produces. Her films are often made in black and white, have high production values, and cover various aspects of female sexuality including BDSM and fetishism. She was inspired by expressionist German cinema, by French surrealism and American film noir.
It looks like Maria had some influence on some of Madonna's performances. Maybe they met in New York in the late 1970's.
