How's this for a belly laugh? The pregnant women who decorate their bumps with amazing artwork

By Graham Smith

It's the most exciting time in a woman's life - and, for some, the best way to commemorate the experience of pregnancy is with a painted belly.

As these incredible pictures show, the spherical shape of an expectant mother's stomach forms a perfect round canvas.

From a life-like depiction of an unborn baby to goldfish swimming in a bowl, the options for what to paint are limitless.

An increasing number of women are using face paints to decorate their baby bump.

Manufactured to be gentle on the skin, face paints shouldn't stain, although it's advisable to first test any paint on a hidden section of your body to make sure it can be removed easily.

NATIONAL GOTOPLESS PROTEST DAY

SUN AUGUST 23rd 2009 - in honor of Women's Equality Day

Participating cities at the bottom of this welcoming message



Welcome to GoTopless.org! - We are a US organization, claiming that women have the same constitutional right to be bare chested in public places as men.
Rael, spiritual leader and founder of goTopless.org states: "as long as men can be topless, constitutionally women should have the same right, or men should also be forced to wear something hiding their chest."

Why a National GoTopless Protest day? Gotopless.org claims constitutional equality between men and women on being topless in public. Currently, women who dare to be topless in public in the US are repeatedly being arrested, fined, humiliated, criminalized. On SUNDAY AUGUST 23RD, 2009, topless women will rally in great numbers across the USA to protest this gross inequality in the law and will demand that they be granted the fundamental right to be topless where men already enjoy that right according to the 14th amendment of the Constitution (please see our exact legal argument on the right to be topfree for women under "14th amendment" in news section)
Why in August? On August 26, 1920, following a 72-year struggle, the U.S. Constitution was amended to grant women the right to vote. And in 1970, as an ongoing reminder of women’s equality, Congress declared August 26 “Women’s Equality Day.” But even in the 21st century, women need to stand up and demand that equality in fact – not just in words.

Why having GoTopless actions in cities where top-less freedom for women is already legal? Those programmed with puritanical values find it difficult to change. This “mentality hurdle” applies to both women and men.
How are we helping women? GoTopless is committed to helping women perceive their breasts as noble, natural parts of their anatomy (whether they are nursing or not). Breasts shouldn’t have to be “modestly” or shamefully hidden from public view any more than arms, legs or feet.
How are we helping men? GoTopless is also committed to helping men differentiate between nudity and sexuality. If the presence of a topless woman in public triggers a sexual impulse, it can easily be controlled in the same way men control themselves when they see a woman wearing a mini skirt or revealing ample cleavage. Men manage to appreciate these things while still showing respect! Choosing consciousness above hormones leads to a peaceful, respectful society providing additional freedom and beauty
Who can participate? We welcome everyone! GoTopless was founded by the Raelian Movement, which recognizes that life on Earth was created by advanced extraterrestrial scientists. These scientists, both male and female, used their mastery of genetic engineering to create humans in their own image (breasts included!). GoTopless includes thousands of women and men, who have a wide variety of beliefs, affiliations, etc...
Why do you talk about femininity rather than feminism? In the past, women often had to act like men when fighting for their rights, so they repressed their femininity. Today, GoTopless women see their femininity as a powerful asset as they struggle for equal rights in a masculine-dominated
What will happen that day? Across America, topless women and men will peacefully rally in the streets, parks, on the beaches of their towns and cities. See below for time and location of activities in each city.
Topfree performances will be given by various artists to honor women's right to be top free, body painting will be available. Chalk artists will also street paint Art works from Old Masters without any nipple censure. The aim is to convey that the sight of a top free women in public is as natural as the sight of top free men. Please write to us if you are an artist (performance or visual) who would like to participate in one of our shows.

「聖火」「肉体の祭典」 "Torch" "Festival of Flesh"

「S＆Mスナイパー」2004年7月号掲載 "S & M Sniper" 2004 No. 7 on Mon


四年に一度のスポーツの祭典がやってくる！ The sports festival comes once in four years!

わたしは子供の時に1964年の東京オリンピックをリアルタイムでテレビ観戦している。 As a child I was watching the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games in real time television.
しかし、特定の競技場面を観た記憶は残って無い。 But remember I watched the scene left no specific events. なにしろ今から四十年も前の幼年時代のことである。 Childhood is that 14 years from now anyway.
かすかな記憶の中には、やたら世間が盛り上がっていたイメージがある。 Some dim memory, there is a public image were hot damn. 「東洋の魔女」「東京五輪音頭」「金メダル」「ウルトラC」などという言葉とともに、、。 "Witch of the East" "Olympic Games Tokyo Ondo" "gold" "Ultra C" with words like,,.
とにかく当時はわたしも「自分の国で世界レベルのお祭り騒ぎ」ということを子供心にも理解し、興奮した。 Anyway, I was also "world-class binge in your own country" in their hearts to understand that kids were excited.
世界中の国からあんなに沢山の人種が一時期に集結したのは、おそらく日本の歴史上初のことだったはずだ。 Gathered during a certain period of many races from many countries like that, I think we were probably the first in the history of Japan.

さて、いざオリンピックが終わってしまうと、子供達は『また日本でやってくれないかな』と思う。 Now, after the Olympics would pinch, I'ma Why do not kids playing in Japan and I think 』.
『次はいつだろ？ 『's For next time? ねえ、おねえちゃん、世界に国は全部でいくつあるの？ Hey, sis ridge, there are few countries in the world altogether? ええっ！ What! そんなに！ So! ！ ! 』 』
当時のわたしの頭の中では、世界はすべてにおいて公平で、オリンピックの開催にも平等な順番があるものと思っていた。 In my mind at that time, the world is fair in all I thought that there is an equal turn to host the Olympics.
しかし、そういう考えだと次回の日本開催は何百年も後ということになる。 However, such plans held in Japan and next will be hundreds of years after that. 『ひとりの人間の寿命じゃとても足りない！ Ja 『very short life of one person! 』幼い子供の心の中を『無常』という名の孤独な風が「ひゅー」と吹き抜けて行った、、、。 』To『 uncertainty in the minds of young children in the name of a lonely wind 』" Oh Chu Parasols "blowout and went,,,.
数年後、大阪で万博が開催され、日本は再びお祭り気分。 A few years later, the Expo was held in Osaka, Japan is once again a festive mood. すぐ後に札幌で冬期オリンピックの開催。 Winter Olympics in Sapporo immediately.
巷では、『夏のオリンピックを名古屋で開催しょう！ In the streets, see the Summer Olympic Games held in Nagoya Shou! 』という声があったり、『えっ！ And a voice that can 』,『 Oh! またアメリカで？ In the United States again? 』と言う者がいたりする。 Who they say you holding. 近年、長野オリンピックもテレビで観たし、日本でやったサッカー・ワールドカップもテレビで観た。 Recently, I watched the Winter Olympics on TV I watched on TV the World Cup played in Japan.
そしてわたしは「世界の国々すべてがが公平で平等」などという甘い考えは、知らず知らずのうちに捨てていた。 And I "countries of the world all fair and equal", such as thinking that was unwittingly discarded.

昔読んだ三島由紀夫の小説「豊饒の海／暁の寺」の中にこんなものがあった。 I read old novels of Yukio Mishima's "Sea of Fertility / Temple of the Dawn" was bought in.

男はなぜか非常な幸福感に包まれて、もう一度夢の続きを見たいと切望するが、どうしても出来ない...。 The man wrapped in great happiness for some reason, but more eager to see the dream again, not really ....
と、こんな内容ではなかったか？ And this content perhaps?
その文章を読んだ時、東南アジアの強い灼熱の空から、インドの宗教画で見かけるようなきらびやかないでたちの「月光姫」が地上の人々の頭上へ向けて「金色の驟雨」を降らせる。 When I read the sentence, a strong burning in Southeast Asia from the sky, as seen in their religious paintings in Kirabiyakanai Indian "Princess Moonlight" for many people to the ground above the "golden驟雨" shed. というイメージの絵を描いてみたくなった。 Now want to draw a picture of that image.
が、描いてはみたかったが、その時点で漠然としたイメージしかなく、どうしても頭の中で形になってこない。 , And the draw Hamitakatta, at that time had only a vague image, there is no form in the mind really is. 視点をどこに置くかなど、いろいろ考えたが上手くいかず、そのうちに諦めてしまった。 Perspectives, such as where to place slowed things well thought, had given up on them.
最近インターネットを始めて、アニメ系の漫画家のサイトも覗くようになった。 Recent Internet started, the house began to look through the site anime cartoon series. そしてある時一枚の絵が私の目に止まった。 I caught the eyes and when there is a picture.
全裸女の足を広げた立ちポーズ。 Standing poses naked woman spread legs. 背景は夜が明けたばかりの海岸のようで、砂は暗い色をしていてる（湘南海岸か？）太陽を背にし逆光なので身体自体は暗くフラットに見える。 Background is just as dawn coast sand is dark in color atypical (or Shonan Coast?) Own body with your back against the sun so the sun looks dark and flat. その股間からは水のようなものがほとばしっている。 Hotobashitsu from the groin that is like water. それはおそらく小便（！）だろう「漫画家とはおかしな絵を描くものだ」と思った。 It is probably urine (!) Will "and drawing manga is something strange" I thought. しかし何となく見入ってしまう絵だ。 But somehow that picture would staring. その時やっと昔描けなかったあの「月光姫」を思い出した。 When it finally描Kenakatta that old "Princess Moonlight" reminded me.
「そうか、構図だ、衣装だ、設定だとか難しいことなどにとらわれず、もっと自由に描きたいように描けばいいんだ」 "Well, I compose, wardrobe, regardless of difficulty or as a set, but to draw more freely draw Baiin"
それに気付いてからは不思議と抵抗なく描けそうな気になり、おかげさまでこの通り完成させることが出来ました。 After it became aware of the draw so I feel strange without resistance and I have been able to complete this as a thanks.
最初のイメージとは違った絵になったが、また何時かこの題材で描いてみたい。 The first image and the picture was different, like what time it is also the story of this material.
後々、名作として世界の一流美術館などにも堂々と展示されるような大作を、、、 After we proudly to the world's leading museums such as the epic masterpiece that people will be exhibited and,,,

Jim Dickinson's farewell message

Dickinson's farewell message

Dickinson, who was remembered during a private ceremony on Monday, was able to craft a requiem for himself.

The following is his farewell message:

I refuse to celebrate death. My life has been a miracle of more than I ever expected or deserved. I have gone farther and done more than I had any right to expect.

I leave behind a beautiful family and many beloved friends. Take reassurance in the glory of the moment and the forever promise of tomorrow. Surely there is light beyond the darkness as there is dawn after the night. I will not be gone as long as the music lingers.

I have gladly given my life to Memphis music and it has given me back a hundredfold. It has been my fortune to know truly great men and hear the music of the spheres.

May we all meet again at the end of the trail. May God bless and keep you.

World boogie is coming,

James Luther Dickinson

Valley of the Dolls | Jeffrey Turns 10

By Bee-Shyuan Chang

To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the luxury retailer Jeffrey is creating its own “Valley of the Dolls.” Its owner, Jeffrey Kalinsky, tapped the designer Jason Wu (who started out creating fashionable dolls before scaling up the fashion rungs with Michelle Obama’s inaugural ball gown) to create a series of limited-edition dolls, which were in turn sent out to a who’s who of designers to be dressed in the season’s looks.

Along with Wu, more than 50 designers signed on for the fashion-in-miniature project, including Thakoon, Consuelo Castiglioni of Marni, Rick Owens, L’Wren Scott, Christophe Decarnin of Balmain, and Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte. Barbie, eat your heart out.

The dolls will go on display at Jeffrey’s New York store starting Aug. 10 with bids via silent auction starting at $250 for each doll. Bidding will close at the end of New York fashion week (Sept. 17), and proceeds will go to support causes that Kalinsky has long championed: the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure to support breast cancer research and the Atlanta AIDS Partnership Fund.

With designers sampling looks from their fall collections — Phoebe Philo for Celine replicated a sharp gray jacket and tailored black one-piece, Martin Margiela went expectedly avant-garde with disco-ready mirrored pants and a stocking bodysuit, and Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy created a black strappy minidress with arched shoulders, plus black stiletto boots and bunny-pink lipstick — the highly detailed miniature mannequins are turning out to be a chic illustration of fashion meets craft.

We stopped by for a little (pun intended) chat with Andrea Karras, Proenza Schouler’s patternmaker, to get the details on the more technical side of dressmaking in miniature versus real-life prêt-à-porter.

Q.

How did you come about working with Proenza Schouler?

A.

I’ve been working with designers Jack [McCollough] and Lazaro [Hernandez] for the past two and a half years. But I also freelanced with Gap and Banana Republic and had my own design business in the ’80s that was carried at Barneys.

Was patternmaking something you picked up while owning your own business?
I actually went to school at the École de la Chambres Syndicale la Couture Parisienne, the French school for haute couture. It’s very technical, and by the time I graduated and moved to the U.S., I already knew how to make patterns.

How did you approach making doll clothes for Jeffrey’s exhibition?
They [Proenza Schouler] involved me right from the start. I thought, Well, let’s do a fall look. And I was going to live off this fantasy and I wanted to do lots of little pieces. They do great sportswear, so I flipped through the fall show and copied a coat and a knitted sweater and shorts and tights. Oh, and the P.S. 1 bag. I had to do the bag. It’s become one of the label’s signature looks.

Were there special challenges to crafting looks in miniature? How did you put it all together?
I had to buy smaller knitting needles. I bought some Size 1 knitting needles that are usually for socks and gloves and knitted the little sweater. I used a sewing machine for some parts, but putting on the sleeves was tough — I had to do that by hand. I did have to buy some doll shoes; I tried everything including papier-mâché but couldn’t get it right. So I doctored these doll boots from a Japanese Web site that sells doll supplies. They carry Jason Wu’s doll pieces as well.

How much time did you spend on the project?
I put in about three days of work on the pieces. But working on the project, it was fun! I felt like a little girl, but had all the skills to make it look good.

Do you think learning the craft first has been key to your longevity in the industry?
It’s one of the reasons why I’m still here. Patternmaking is not really taught much anymore, and it’s a long process to learn how to do it. It’s a dying profession, with most of the work going offshore. I could say it’s a lot of hard work and not a lot of glory. You have to know how to sew and know fabrics and have a logical mind.

What about designers today — do you think it’s important for them to know patternmaking or have some technical skills?
I think a good designer has this part of them that understands technical things. A lot of the job for designers is about drawing the picture, but Jack and Lazaro can get pretty technical. And I enjoy working with them because if I have an issue, they can get right at the solution to the problem.
