Whores' Glory (inside three kinds of street)

Triangle Drama # 30



WHORES' GLORY
by Michael Glawogger
Austria /Germany 2011

documentary about sex workers in Thailand, Bangladesh and Mexico

seen on Gothenburg International Film Festival




1:st part in Thailand, where the girls act like models behind glass, with hard competition between these "women", for the "men" to pick out which one they like - not even with dialogue, just persuaders on each side, every girl identified by a number

2:nd part in Bangladesh, where the only mean persons seems to be those madams responsible for the girls, by showing contempt instead of giving them warm sympathy, just expecting they should be glad not to live in the streets again

3:rd part in Mexico, where the women seems more like "classical" whores, older bitches with stronger self-esteem, passion and laughs, though at the same time they go on drugs, while the men are maybe more dangerous here (or just trying to match these "man hunters")

I can only review this movie rather than the real situations, but have no reason to doubt they are quite the same.

Some more Sorts of Kissing

wWw


in "The Art of Kissing" by William Cane
there's at least 30 different ways to kiss
(seen on videos).

All sorts I want to try
to try sometime with someone.
For now or the close future though
I feel like them in the following order

that I also believe will help me best to really kiss some girls
with my relatively small experience.



1

NECK kiss
(among women the most favoured kiss of them all?!)

2

MIRROR kiss
(while at least one part is looking in mirror)

3

HAND kiss
(with lips on the other's hand and fingers)

4

SHY kiss
(in public but while sure nobody's watching)

5

kissing IN PUBLIC
(a little bit forbidden, wanting to be discovered)

6

FRENCH kiss
(with tops of the tounges inside each other's mouths, not too far in, whirling round, avoid being mechanic)

7

SLIDING kiss
(along her arms or legs or so)

8

CANDY kiss
(exchanging sweets or something)

9

BITING kiss
(a bit more than ordinary Lip kiss or Ear kiss)

10

MUSIC kiss
(doing it playfully to the music, mark shifts in rhytm and more)

11

ELECTRIC kiss
(get a shot and jump out from each other)

12

PRACTICE kiss
(lollipop or own hand)

13

TEASING kiss
(she does anything she wants while he stands like a statue, or opposite??)

14

FIRST kiss
(for the first time with someone)

15

ANDROGYNOUS kiss
(she's dressing up the boy like a girl)

16

SPANKING kiss
(kissing and spanking at the same time, while having fun, not punishing)

17

WET kiss
(more of saliva, but not too sloppy)

18

EAR kiss
(with one's lips, including some soft biting, many likes it)

19

TALKING kiss
(having a conversation during the kissing)

20

UPSIDE DOWN kiss
(experiencing each other from another angle)

21

LIP-O-SUCTION
(sucking and stretching out one lip)

22

LIP kiss
(ordinary, one or both lips, with noses beside each others)

23

LAUGHING kiss
(making it not too serious)

24

kissing SESSIONS
(choosing a special place like in the car)

25

EYE kiss
(with lips over closed eyes)

26

BUTTERFLY kiss
(not with lips but with the eye-lashes)

27

ESKIMO kiss
(rubbing noses and so on)

28

HOLLYWOOD kiss
(leaning deep over her)

29

BAD BOY kiss
(he's standing like a haysack, which she expereinces like tuff)

30

VACUUM kiss
(a moment sucking her breath out, or his?)

31

TROBRIAND ISLAND kiss
(many advanced moments including hair-pulling)

32

PHONE kiss
(kiss over the phone)

33

MAKE-UP kiss
(only for long-time relationships)

Mockumentary : A Mighty Wind

movie review # 1201



I've just begun to dig in the field of mockumentary. A mockumentary is a fictive portrait or pastiche presented in the form of a real documentary. Christopher Guest was the natural director to start with (after watching the norwegian Troll Hunter). A Mighty Wind made 2003 is his smiling story of The Main Street Singers. Their sound feels like The Roof Top Singers multiplied by Mama's & Papa's. And they are trying to reincarnate - or being forced to reunion - as The New Main Street Singers almost forty years after their golden days. The same goes for Mitch & Mickey, deeply affected by their break-up. Portrait by portrait Guest puts together an amusing psycho-social picture.


What first strucks me the strongest, as a Glee-watcher, is that "Sue Sylvester" plays a part here. Obviously she can be nice and loveable too, but the mighty fox-behaviour shines through. Yes, Jane Lynch seems to be a well-equipped actress, with a clear sense of how to touch people in different ways. The interview scene where she caresses her husband in front of the camera is unbeatable, since she both succeeds and don't really suceeds in getting his response. While she pridely implies how she made some "porn" roles during the band's apocalyptic epoque... The rehearsals are humorous to follow, but the music ain't bad either, could have been real.
