I found this picture on a message board devoted to a cranky old comic book artist. Click on it to make it bigger.

Apparently it's from a coffee table book on carnival strippers (???). I am obsessed with this picture. It's a group of men watching a stripper and somehow it manages, either by accident or inevitability to capture the full spectrum of heterosexual reactions to women. Notice the boy and his look of concerned and earnest discovery. Notice the guy behind him, caught up in rapturous appreciation. And finally notice the man to the left, aware and somewhat bemused, but mostly distracted by a more immediate physical need.

I'm sure the photographer who captured this picture received little or no recognition outside of it's inclusion into said coffee table book -- but I think it deserves some sort of Pulitzer. It's so perfect you'd think it was staged. I want it enlarged and hanging in my house.


and check out the old man just left of center well past his sexual peak, remembering his younger days when the site of a women stripping would actually get his blood pumping.

It also captures some homosexual reaction. Notice the couple on the right. You can all most hear them asking each other what straight men find so great about women.

This picture truly is genius!  


i like the guy in the #1 shirt. he reminds me of ian.  


Everything reminds you of me, that's what happens when you're in love.  


what reminds me of ian:

gay guys in a #1 shirt,
piles of dung,
and long walks along the beach at sunset.
