Parisian on Acid.

Say Hello to Charlie Le Mindu, part frenchman, part madman. The former miliner, he has exchange berets for metre high wigs in his latest collection, his works now preferenced by the house of Gaga not Chanel. His work is the result of an eccentric persona. He is the man you wish your mum had befriended so you could recite fascinating tales about his venutres in burning cats and making clothes out of witches hair.

But what would i need now to become a Le Mindu model? a pair of kitten heels and some red lippy? I'm sure this coupled with the cock between my legs is a sure fire way to fast track myself to becoming his latest muse. There is however some competitiont from a 4 legged feline - Dalston. His furry friend is subjected to Mindu's every whip including a weekly dousing with food colouring then rub up and down the bath. With such a loving companion I fear i may have to leave the muse way to Gaga vs. Dalston and be satisfied with a ring side seat in what could be one of the most bizarre fashion muse wars.

Shelter (2007)

Procrastination from revision, is pretty high at the moment. Any and all distractions are given an opportunity. So whilst flicking through webpages to avoid any more revision on glaciers, i ended up downloading a couple of 'gay' films.

Gay Cinema, has never really been my thing, its pretty niché anyway. I think it may have been lack of exposure but i ended up enjoying three i've watched.

I won't write much about 'Another Gay Movie' nor 'Eating Out: All You Can Eat', i think most straight people would find viewing too uncomfortable. The leading romance in Eating Out begins with the two guys lips meeting on the cock of a faghags boyfriend. Another Gay Movie, is camper than celine dion's christmas. A disturbing scene involves a father giving his son a book on 'getting to know your ass' and giving him a 8" wide buttplug. Both films offered cringing campness at its finest.

However not all gay films are camp as chirstmas, some films do portray a gay relationship as the main story without some pink festival extravaganza. Some do offer a great plot, a strong dialogue and brilliant soundtrack rather than producing the gay equivalent of American Pie.

'Shelter' (2007) is a fine example of such a combination film. Set in California, this beautiful romance blossomed hidden from the people that matter most. The film has all the makings of a great film, the plots is multi-layered, presenting poverty against wealth, a dysfunctional family, youth issues, sexuality and fulfilling your destiny.

The gay stereotype is missing, avoiding clogging up the beauty of this film. Two childhood friends, reconnect over surfing and slowly form a unique bond. This is certainly a film i need to buy, following the january student loan.

Its a definite watch for anyone that can handle viewing a male on male kiss.
