About 120,000 people in colourful clothes took part in Vienna’s annual Rainbow Parade on Saturday to call for equal rights for gays, lesbians and transvestites. I must add that to be transvestite does not necessarily mean to be homosexual. Some transvestites are fascinated with women’s clothes only, and want to feel themselves, at least temporarily, [...]

Anatomie der Liebe

June 9, 2008 - 5:07 pm - Posted by Galina

Dearest Galina,
I don�t know whether you are teasing your readers with your comments about masculine stupidity, mean-spirited men who want to split bills in restaurants or you really mean it.
I take your point that men are obsessed by their penises - it’s part of the male psyche that would be rather difficult to eradicate, but [...]

Earthquake-2

The moral postulate of soviet society was simple: who does not work must not eat, and parasitism was considered to be hardest sin. One could even be in problems with police suspected in parasitic mode of existence.
Living in center of Europe nowadays, I see symbiotic relationships with society to be of no great fault at [...]

Relationships

April 27, 2008 - 10:25 pm - Posted by Galina

Why all of them come to an end
All around us is moving, transforming and vibrating. World is constant change. Existence is a sort of motion with terminal station unknown.
I would draw it as vector or arrow directed in the future at targets, which do not exist yet. What really makes our progress along spirals [...]

Ideal lover

April 23, 2008 - 9:12 pm - Posted by Galina

Contemplating over my own intimate relationships and those of others I conclude that ideal lover for me could be only duplicate of me. Imagine, you meet somebody with equal sensitivity and quickness, equally changeable and bizarre; you have endless topics for conversation, eternal understanding and adore.
You feel hands wise as your own - caressing [...]

Saturday visit
It was cold windy morning. I made snapshot of this group near Westbahnhof
May be I idealize family relationships being deprived of them
You love man so much that it hurts and when he betrays you-
you want to die
But time goes on, and soon you can not recollect his name.
When I ask men what do they [...]

Licht

Fast portrait of young worker
Light is best artist, it creates something impressive and bright without slightest effort.
The lack of light makes everything dull and flat, and a few hours of work over such photos
hardly improve anything. It is like relationship. When relationship is dull from the very beginning,
it will hardly be better after months of [...]

The thought of the day: my human relationships are imperfect and always will be so; imperfections cause sufferings, and sufferings reconciliate me with the absence of all and any relationships, with nothingness. We are mortally afraid and at the same time unconsciously strive for perfection of unknown which will never come in cramped space [...]

I visited normal Soviet school, where among other exotic subjects
we studied scientific atheism.
In classroom with portrait of Mongolian looking Leader and quotation: Religion is opium for people
teacher talked about Darwinism and astrophysics mocking over
tales of holy world creation.
We were busy with history of Christianity, and there was Moslem country outside - with neither veil, nor [...]

Lolita

Coming back home in twilight,
I see street prostitutes in Htteldorferstrasse during their evening shift.
Girls have extremely minimized professional outfit standing there almost nude in cold rain.
Some of them are very young.
Trying to catch glimpse of their faces in quickly growing darkness
I try to imagine what they feel.
I also see men who occasionally stop there in [...]

Imitations

Great Russian writer Ivan Turgenev wrote that our happiness is usually erected at pedestal of other people misfortune.
Mechanism of reality is so that we can feel good only on expense of somebody else. In ethical sphere it is expressed in emotional vampiring of humans, in social and economic sphere it lays in basement of labor [...]

Gerry bended over me his face in dim lights of caf looking crimson, breathing out steams of five big beers he had gulped one after the other.
We were sitting in one of Graz oldest bars Barcelona during its blue evening, and in perspective I could observe three male couples flirting. Jerry was 52 years [...]
