I have been pretty confused lately about the line between porn and art. I know it is supposed to be I KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT, but sometimes I don’t know what it IS that I am seeing.
I found this. I like this song. I think there might be a deeper message here.
The swirly-ness and obfuscation of the body probably relates to our inability to see YouTube lady as she really is. She is dancing and appears to be sexy but is hidden behind her glasses/wigs/music/costumes/ cool attitude.
Soon after, ran into this lady.
I don’t know if this video is COOL and SEXY or just SCARY. I would not want to be chased and beaten to death. But maybe Naomi is like turning this stereotype around on its head to make us really think about violence against women and sexuality normally used in music vids to exploit women. But overall I am wondering if it is OK to show violence against women if like, a woman is making it.
OK jk it is an art project. It is OK. I am glad she is wallowing in sleaze but like I guess it just makes me sad to think we’ve given up on life. Don’t want sleaze to be IT. Still looking for something MORE.
I just still can’t decide whether its OK to use my body to sell myself or whether it is considered slutty/bad news. If I exploit myself is that empowering or just fucking myself/future daughters/ grandchildren /generations of women over?
It’s not easy when you’re me. It’s not easy when you’re me.
Are we all just doing that dance [you] sluts?
