Vaclav Havel RIP

Vaclav Havel 1/10/1936 - 18/12/2011
From dissident writer and intellectual to emerge after the Velvet Revolution of 1989 as the last President of Czechoslovakia and then first President of The Czech Republic, the humble and irrepressible Vaclav Havel died  yesterday at the age of 75' 

I recall when thousands of us here in Brisbane took to the streets in 1968 when Russia invaded Czechoslovakia to bring the Prague Spring to an end. Vivid is the memory of myself along with fellow university and school friends holding hands and dancing down the main street clapping and singing 'Power To The People' as the sound bounced off the office buildings. My other memory from 1993 is of being thrown off a train in the dark at an isolated station at 2 am as it entered The Czech Republic because I dad not have a Visa. Scary!

Stilettos

Stilettos were first mentioned in the 1930's. The Stiletto heel is named after the long thin dagger developed in Italy in the 1400's and used mainly for stabbing. The heel gives the illusion of a longer and slimmer leg, a smaller foot and greater height. They cause the calf muscle to flex and alter the posture and movement making the chest and buttocks stick out. In recent times it has become a fashion accessory of the sexy young male performer and occasional model. They certainly look fabulous, elegant and dangerous.

Visual Arts Laid Bare

Once again I hope to bring your attention to some stunning works I love, awash with colours including black and white and the beautiful naked male body. Some of the artists I have had some communication with and others I subscribe to. I recommend their work.
