A common and widespread duck that is able to adapt and thrive in different kinds of environments including coastal marshes, river and town parks. Mallard ducks can tend to interbreed with many other indigenous wild ducks of closely related species and can produce various coloured forms, the proper scientific term for this however is actually called genetic pollution. The name 'mallard' derives from the words for masculinity which applies to the male.

"The only aphrodisiac I need is your voice
Hearing you speak my name
Beckoning me to answer
Telling me you want me
So I tell you that you're the answer to
Every question I've ever had about love
Without words I use my tongue to tell the tale of us
Tracing your shadowscape
Kneeling before you my eyes feast upon your masculinity and
All its divinity and I praise you
Because all of that is for me
I begin to indulge myself of your delicacies
Digesting semi-sweet dark chocolate decadence as it melts
Dripping down my chin
Your taste is something Godiva couldn't re-create
Needing every atom of your anatomy
Necessity is placed upon me
Knowing you are the source of my serendipity
Dipping in and out of me stroking more than my consciousness
Subconsciously I find myself rewinding our love scenes
In my daydreams"
The only aphrodisiac I need is your voice
Hearing you speak my name
Beckoning me to answer
Telling me you want me
So I tell you that you're the answer to every question I've ever had about love
Without words I use my tongue to tell the tale of us
Tracing your shadowscape
Kneeling before you my eyes feast upon your masculinity and
All its divinity and I praise you
Because all of that is for me
Blood Hype is a local Chicago synth pop band who sings songs about vampires, werewolves, aliens, and toxic masculinity (it's probably even worse for werewolves) . I enjoyed seeing them at Bric-a-Brac on Sunday.

#macromondays #pink
Pink is the color of a namesake flower that is a pale tint of red. It was first used as a color name in the late 17th century. According to surveys in Europe and the United States, pink is the color most often associated with charm, politeness, sensitivity, tenderness, sweetness, childhood, femininity, and romance. A combination of pink and white is associated with chastity and innocence, whereas a combination of pink and black links to eroticism and seduction. In the 21st century, pink is seen as a symbol of femininity, though this hasn't always been true: in the 1920s, pink was seen as a color that reflected masculinity.

An unmistakable, large ground bird. The unmistakable iridescent blue male spreads out its ornamental upper tail feathers when courting females. Females have a shorter tail, an iridescent green neck, and browner plumage. Found in forest, forest edge, and agricultural land. Often seen on paths or alertly feeding in the undergrowth. Can be fairly confiding especially when found close to human habitation. Its loud screaming “may-yow” calls are heard incessantly during the rainy season. (eBird)
Okay - this bird was actually photographed at the Toronto Zoo. When we saw peacocks in India, it wasn't mating season, so no flamboyant displays of masculinity were seen. This one is displaying the full glory of the peacock tail.

La baguette, mesdames et messieurs (et les autres bien sûr) !
La baguette est une institution française telle que Gotlib en parlait déjà dans ses dingodossiers il y a un demi-siècle de ça.
Avec tout ce que ça importe de fanatisme nationaliste malaisant, parfois.
Mais il n'y a pas que la baguette qui est bien cuite pour les goûts des uns et des autres.
Une masculinité bien cuite est-elle envisageable ? Sérieuse ? Souhaitable ? Consommable ?
Et par-dessus tout : quelle est l'adresse de son tatoueur ?!

Last in the series of explorations into a contemporary use of Dada aesthetics, ideas and method, all on a digital platform. Why do this? It's a balance thing. AI is all the rage now and it's providing some stunning images but I still haven't warmed to the idea of creating visual images solely or mostly through words and algorithms. Chance, accident and intuition are a good balance to this and always a solution when the left brain dominates.
Logo-centricity has been declared a "Male" attribute. But I quietly question that. So here I punned on the word 'testosterone" as I put together a very 'masculine' image. Male faces, maps, cars, words and numbers ...

Musci Link: "Aladdin Sane" - David Bowie, from his album "Aladdin Sane". I'm suggesting this song as a loose companion to my visual piece largely because of the rather masculine tone and theme to the song but mostly for Mike Garson's unbelievably complex and completely wild, improvised piano solo. There's years of training in many musical fields behind his solo but it comes out in a furious and deliciously disorienting flurry of notes. Some of the most daring and definition-shattering piano work I've ever heard.

"You're a sour little boy-
With a fragile masculinity.
When life gives you lemons,
You don't make lemonade,
You use them to make girls cry,
You take those lemons-
No sugar at all,
And you squirt it right into our eyes"

The following story appeared in The Daily Texan, the official newspaper of the University of Texas at Austin, on May 1, 2019.
Location of “The West” statue hinders students from interpreting the sculpture
Bonny Chu, May 1, 2019
As one of the University’s first contemporary art sculptures, “The West” created by Donald Lipski has been featured on the east side of the UT Tower for more than a decade.
The location of these two metal, spherical buoys in relation to the Tower has raised many questions among students about its meaning. But, Landmarks, the campus public art program, did not intend to reinforce a phallic interpretation of “The West” while installing it, Landmarks director Andree Bober said.
“We realized that (this interpretation) would happen once we installed it,” said Bober. “And, we decided that it was not a great concern. There are many different ways to interpret its meanings, and that’s part of what the artist intends. This is not linear.”
However, the location of the sculpture has limited the many other interpretations of the piece.
“The (phallic) idea almost became a common knowledge thing,” neuroscience senior Tamanna Basri said. “No one even has the room to make their opinion before someone tells them about it. They devalue the sculpture, and the idea just spreads.”
Virginia Beshears, a studio art and advertising junior, said the phallic image was immediately pointed out to her when she saw the sculpture for the first time as a high school student. But, Beshears said she does not view the art piece solely as a phallus.
“I have a deep love for the absurdity behind ‘The West,’” Beshears said. “Basically, Lipski’s entire concept behind the piece is rendering the buoys and pennies useless. I think Lipski was making a joke about masculinity, capitalism and our preconceived notions about art.”
There are many ways someone can interpret the sculpture. For some, this piece implies uncharted territory of the western United States, according to the Landmarks’ website. For others, the shape of the buoys suggests conquering the unknown with masculine and military energy. The deliberately corroded pennies attached to the surface of the sculpture also suggest capitalism and Western values.
Beshears said the location helps reinforce her personal interpretation.
“I regularly wonder why ‘The West’ was put where it was,” Beshears said. “I go back and forth between thinking it was a happy accident and hoping it was a Lipski fan wanting to further the joke he was making with ‘The West.’”
Give me a kiss and I’ll serenade you among the stars.
Give me your love and I will pluck each star to set at your feet.

One of the entries at the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition . "Dave".
For 'Smile on Saturday', theme: funny art
Coady (Vic)
Dave (2023)
Statement: Dave is a reference to Michelangelo’s luminous marble carving of David, the epitome of male perfection for centuries. By projecting this thinking into the contemporary realm , the new version of David (or ‘Dave’ as he is known to his friends) cuts a benign figure in the midst of social change. With gender rules and traditional male stereotypes fading, COADY describes Dave’s characteristics as a more baby boomer than millennial, a journey in time that has redefined notions of masculinity.
Created for the "Shock of the New" Group's challenge, "Urban Blue".
A common theme that's run through my entire photo stream, the undoing or even sabotage of the right angle, which, for me, represents authority, over-masculinity and a modern world's disconnect from Nature.
Right or 90 degree angles are purely a human construction, except for maybe bismuth crystals and basalt columns. There are very few places in Nature where you seem them. The cutting edge in architecture is getting away from these harsh propositions, which I think reflects a possible trend away from absolutist thinking.
Two Pano-Sabotaged images and one "straight" shot, blended, repeated, flipped and layered. Photo manipulation.

✨smallissima by small — Cosmopolitan Event Exclusive ✨
In the half-light of the room, when shadows coil around my thighs and the air softens against my skin, I feel the shift in him… that primal rise beneath his ribcage, that heat pressing like a pulse between us. And all I did was slip into the smallissima.
This dress is not worn. It melts onto me—golden, fluid, sinfully delicate—clinging as though it remembers the shape of my body from another lifetime.
The silhouette drapes low between my breasts, a deep plunge that bares the soft valley he aches to claim. The hem skims the upper curve of my thighs, short enough to provoke, short enough to whisper that I am already halfway undressed for him.
The styling is a hymn to seduction: thin straps barely capable of holding back desire, fabric so liquid it moves like warm breath, and a contour that reveals the exact architecture of a woman meant to be hunted—hips, softness, secrets. He looks at me and every civilized part of him fractures. Beneath the polished surface of his masculinity, something ancient awakens. Something wild. Something that wants to breed.
Fashion has always known the power of the drape—think of the Greeks, letting fabric fall from a woman’s form like a prayer; think of the 1970s slink dresses that turned nightlife into foreplay. smallissima inherits that legacy, distilling centuries of seduction into a single, breathtaking tease of a garment. It is history rewritten in heat.
And then… the HUD. A lover’s playground.
With PBR capabilities, every texture glows as though lit from within—light sliding off curves, shadows deepening where he most wants to press his mouth. The palette ranges from molten gold to raven black to moonlit pearl, each one a different invitation, a different version of the woman he would take against the nearest wall.
Gold for temptation.
Black for possession.
White for the moment he finally gives in.

And as he watches me—breathing harder, jaw tightening, pupils drowning his irises—he is no longer simply a man. He is a creature of instinct, made for the hunt, made for the taking.
And I, in smallissima, am the offering he cannot resist.
“Fashion should seduce the eye and possess the body—everything else is merely cloth.”
Excerpt from www.cambridge.ca/en/learn-about/resources/main-street-HCD...:
James Young Building: The James Young Building, though only seventeen years after its neighbour, the Granite Block, shows the change in taste of early Victorian builders from Classical Revival to Italianate. This change occurred in the late 1840’s through to the 1850’s and resulted in the Honourable James Young choosing Italianate in 1878-1879 for his new building in Galt. Employing brick rather than stone, it was probably considered quite “modern” at the time.
The building continues the heights and architectural composition of the Granite Block but exudes a more decorative and varied style of round arched second floor windows, elliptical arched upper windows, projecting brick piers and banding and elaborate keystones. The whole appearance is more feminine and fancy than the solid masculinity of the Granite Block. The rear of the Young building comprises an original three storey brick façade with a series of like-sized vertical sash windows at the second and third floors with a series of newer additions at the first floor.

"Dave" by Coady (Vic)
Sculpture By the Sea, Bondi to Tamarama Beaches Walk
2023
Smile on Saturday: Part of Artpiece (glad I "saved" this one)
"Dave is a reference to Michelangelo’s luminous marble carving of David, the epitome of male perfection for centuries.
By projecting this thinking into the contemporary realm, the new version of David (or ‘Dave’ as he is known to friends) cuts a benign figure in the midst of social change. Originally fabricated in enamel coated polyurethane and installed along the coast of Bondi (Sculpture By The Sea 2016), Dave, assisted by 3D modelling from a maquette, now has versions in Bronze and anodized aluminium. With gender rules and traditional male stereotypes fading Coady describes Dave’s characteristics as more baby boomer than millennial, a journey in time that has redefined notions of masculinity."
As many gay men do, I struggle with the boundaries of which parts of my femininity I'm "allowed" to express according to society and often times my fellow gay peers. I was inspired to put aside those toxic ideas of masculinity to create something a little outside of my typical comfort zone. I hope all of you enjoy this photo and fuck society. :P xo, GV.

In a world washed pure white, Jho becomes the color. The space—minimal, endless, undefined—echoes a truth: there is no single favorite place, only infinite moments that belong to them. Dressed in a sharp double-breasted suit, Jho redefines elegance with an edge. The wide hat, trimmed in delicate lace, blurs the line between mystery and art. Red gloves shimmer like molten glass—fearless, deliberate, and unmistakably signature.
Because Jho is never just makeup, never just drag. Jho is a language, a statement, a pulse that beats between couture and character. Every piece tells a story of self-expression unbound by rules, where masculinity and femininity dissolve into pure presence.
In this immaculate white world, Jho doesn’t seek to stand out—they simply are. A silhouette carved from shadow and light, reminding us that true style isn’t about belonging anywhere, but about bringing yourself everywhere.
