Want Candy?

s i n (iamsin) — 2009-11-15 00:00:43

Candy may not be the first magazine dedicated to transvestism and transexuality as claimed, but with hot girls like Cole Mohr and Luke Worrall and photographers like Terry Richardson (sorry for my ignorance, that's the only name I know from all the hundred names flashed in the promotional video)...

Be genderless, my friend

If H2O were us, ice could be our body, water could be our identity and steam could be our orientation. /Bruce Lee tells us to become water/...

Women by Sontag and Leibovitz

s i n (iamsin) — 2009-10-12 00:42:36

Annie Leibovitz's Vanity Fair cover of Tom Ford, Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley might have caused a stir, but one should understand Ford's famous for being manipulative of human bodies (see also Fake but she does...

Princess Hijab

s i n (iamsin) — 2009-10-11 03:29:23

After kidnaps and drips brands face challenge from a princess, Princess Hijab. By using an apparently constrained form of clothing as a symbol almost similar to icons of popular culture, she (let's assume the Princess is a she) speaks counter to manipulative adverts that impl...

There is no sexuality, only tags

s i n (iamsin) — 2009-09-14 02:17:56

I (virtually) met Hun, a Facebook friend and she talked about her concern for gender identity. During the conversation she also mentioned other interests such as poetry and mail art. I'm sending this to her recent postcard event. *Remember

Looking for love through brands

s i n (iamsin) — 2009-09-09 20:32:49

Daniele Buetti's beautiful pieces from Goodfellows / Looking For Love carry a shade of melancholy. Trying not to impose assumptions on the artworks, but through the tender branded skins do we not read series and series of thoughts that easily...

Old writing

s i n (iamsin) — 2009-07-04 18:12:30

Continuing the previous entry on stereotype, this is a note on the paradox of using convention to reinterpret convention, written earlier relating to the project To Wear Or Not To Wear....

Breaking or reinforcement of stereotype(s)?

s i n (iamsin) — 2009-06-28 07:54:11

One thing about the former is that it often causes/applies the latter (look at the previous entry)... /Gundam, unknown source/...

Adam Neate

My friend Elena posted me a promotional postcard of Adam Neate's exhibition. I didn't know the artist before so I googled him. It's good to see Neate cites his wife Waleska as influence, and that he respects her as an artist - a lot. We've heard enoug...

Happy Mother's Day

Aww how sweet. Let's not be mean today. Such a family really looks lovely - I mean, can be really lovely - I mean, is really lovely, except all the other things are hidden outside the picture - I mean, may be hidden. No, I mean, this is a perfect family with no hidden flaws at all! Good luck, happy mothers! /first Google Images result of "happy mother"/...

Does every designer have a wife?

s i n (iamsin) — 2009-05-10 20:21:07

I did not say "Are all designers male?". Maybe they include homosexual female couples. And let me think in their way: This is just one line of saying representing one type of expression from some people and does not represent all audience. Even if it sounds a little male centered, it does not show signs of patriarchy nor sexism because first, it talks about loving women which is something good and second, it is absolutely alright if they want to target a certain grou...

The L Word

s i n (iamsin) — 2009-03-11 15:23:49

The L Word came to an end. Really. The show that breaks heterosexual norms and lesbian stereotypes has come to the final episode of the final season. The finale may leave one a bit sad and confused, but watching the retrospective, we see again how the female-dominant cast and crew beautifully present a story that's not...
