Did I miss something

[belamyi]

This morning I was walking down the Passeig the Gràcia (if never heard of it, think Manhattan 5th avenue or Champs Élysées in Paris) and, just as I was walking past the Chanel boutique there was that guy in full Eagle Bar Gala Night Gear, talking with two suited men, just as dumpy as him, in a flamingly gay American accent, looking up to the façade http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sou...YR-CWqqkt9Ad5MLhl0BVpA&cbp=12,19.93,,0,-28.42 and saying, about exactly who knows what, "ab-so-lut-tely en-nooormous [or may be huuuge or something like that]".

So. The Q is about whether I should be surprised that other people are not surprised or shocked or whatever of the sort, about a Boo-boo-size furry bear in black chaps and cap in the middle of a busy and expensive touristic boulevard, flaming a gay persona, real or not, under the flaming sun, in Barcelona, anywhere in Europe or America or in any part of the civilized world...

Surprised?... only that it was morning. Perhaps he desperately needed a small, matching black leather clutch.

Barcelona is a used-up whore that between her tits Montjuic and Tibidabo has seen everything already...

You know Montjuïc well enough, don't you, you naughty cruiser of the woods
BTW, Barcelona has seven tits, like Rome or Cáceres, but Mount Tibidabo is not any of them

Perhaps the LEATHER QUEEN was NY architect PETER MARINO, who designs the Chanel boutiques. The Wall Street Journal profiled him a few weeks ago re his work for Chanel and Armani and others, so you might check out that article. He has a large and flourishing architecture and decorating practice and his office is capable of doing very good work. I believe he made some good connections--Saint Laurent, the Agnellis, etc--hanging around Andy Warhol's Factory around the time he was in architecture school. Married, with a daughter. In the WSJ he is quoted saying that he waited to take up leather full time until after his parents died as he knew they'd object.

I know the sculpture shown here represents the goddess Artermis (or Diana) with a multitude of BREASTS, but the sculptural source, the Diana of Ephesus (much reproduced during the Hellenistic period) is actually adorned with bull testicles: they may look like breasts but they're not. It is believed that her cult figures were at times garlanded with the actual TESTICLES of castrated bulls.

Oh my, isn't that ab-solutely, fas-cinating! Thanks for the info

In fact the question remains still somewhat controversial, but it's true that the general consensus leans rather towards bull balls than chick tits.

Perhaps, the bull balls adornment was traced in time of Dionysian mysteries around 6000 BC when the earth spring equinox is on constellation of Taurus. The mystic rites with wine inducing euphoria was in the purpose to celebrate fertility with Goddess (before the era of patriarchal God dynasty) . Artemis who rules moon while the moon exalts on earth might have connection with virility from bull balls.

Other Roman God who has connection with fertility is Priapus, the biggest dick in the Universe.

... after Cheney.

Then maybe the new single-brand Armani store opening soon a few blocks away at the old location of Gonzalo Comella http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sou...jCO2yp6vRqxxZFKP59tGHg&cbp=12,44.36,,0,-22.32 is a work of his practice too.

Isn't it rather awful that your [supposedly] loved ones would need you to be annihilated (or enlightened, depending on your beliefs), so that they will be able to enjoy the liberty to cheat on your whimsical peeves?
