These two adolescent bull Rhinos had been friends up until today. But now, they decided it was time to decide who would be the alpha male. The zookeeper wasn't yet aware of the change. The rhinos were really going at it, chasing each other around at surprisingly fast speeds, and battling it out for dominance.
If you look at the larger image, you can see all the wounds and blood on their faces from the battle. I have never seen so much action at the zoo before.
I guess they forgot to tell them that this is just a zoo...
(Whoever said that zoo animals are not wild?!)

Out The Week
The Goob (Soda, cert 18)
Films like to suggest that life is rawer, more elemental away from the cosmopolitan, metrosexual centres of civilisation. And in British films there’s often a suggestion that out in Norfolk, especially, things tend towards the Wild West. It was ...

Douglas Coupland
Shampoo Planet
Simon & Schuster, 1993
Cover art & design by John Gall (design), Sigrid Estrada (photo), Syd Brak (shampoo effects)
299 pages
Book bought in New York
Douglas Coupland, armed with that secret weapon of his - a knack for capturing the nineties Zeitgeist - offers an analytical satire entitled "Shampoo Planet".
Tyler Johnson is everything his hippie mother Jasmine isn't. Tyler appreciates consumerism, is in awe of snazzy technology and cannot possibly miss out on any brand of shampoo - or other hair care products for that matter. He thinks he knows exactly what he wants: a dreamjob working for the company responsible for his very favourite hair care products. Add having a sweet girlfriend by his side (Anna-Louise) to that, and Tyler feels he's set after he graduates with his motel-hotel degree in his pocket.
But Tyler decides, in between all this, to hop over to Europe and have some fun and when he returns home, have everything go as planned afterwards.
But Europe isn't done with Tyler... his French summerfling Stephanie decides to come for a life-disrupting visit. A visit which proves to be a learning experience for Tyler and the people affected by him.
Colourful and diverse characters are all provided for in this novel. The metrosexual hairproduct addict. The opportunistic gold-digging French girl looking for fame in Hollywood. The overly feministic (yet, controversially) bulimic girlfriend. They are rather shallow though, which is something I am not used to in Coupland's novels - even though this one is meant to be satirical.
The message Coupland tries to send out, however, is clear. The world, in between Tyler and Jasmine's generation, has rapidly changed into something less desirable. Into a world where the right shampoo brand is what matters.
In reviewing "Shampoo Planet" now, I am somewhat reminded of the movie "Into the Wild", where a young man sets out to find the opposite of Tyler's life's ambitions. He escapes to find freedom from society as it is (with its fixation on technology and consumerism). But as he is alone in Alaska, the young man learns that it's not that simple. Running away from your life and the people in it doesn't solve anything. (This is a movie you must see, by the way.)
When Tyler turns his back on his friends and family and embarks with Stephanie on their own adventure to California - to live the Hollywood dream - Tyler is in effect taught a similar lesson.
Having read several of Coupland's other (newer) novels, I do have to say that while this book has a valuable point to make and is written in a feisty type of descriptive prose, it isn't as strong as "Girlfriend in a Coma" or several of the essays in "Polaroids from the Dead" (a review of which I have yet to post). The plotline is generally rather flat, and while plot probably wasn't Coupland's main concern for this book, the result still is that I could not be very enthusiastic or excited about the message that is given throughout the novel, or the lesson the main character learns in the end.
This is not to say Coupland failed. To me "Shampoo Planet" shows that Coupland had so much potential as an original author already at the time this novel was published (1992), and that he could only grow out to be better. And in my opinion he most certainly developed into an outstanding author.
(ETA: I've read Girlfriend in a Coma, Hey Nostradamus!, JPod, Miss Wyoming, Polaroids from the Dead and my very favourite, Eleanor Rigby. Microserfs and The Gum Thief are on my to-read-shelf and Generation X is on the wishlist.)

I have recently been scolded by someone random on my photographing the book itself and posting photos along with these reviews. It was a rude comment and I don't think I deserved to be spoken to in that way (perhaps because I saw no harm in what I am doing here), and though I wanted to ignore the whole situation I still realized that it would be wise to make a general statement regarding book (cover) photos in my R&R set description.

Description: Photograph used in evidence for a prosecution for "keeping a disorderly house" in a flat in London's fashionable Fitzroy Square, previously home to members of the Bloomsbury Group such as Virginia Woolf. Robert Britt (second left) a dancer at the London Empire theatre was the flat's owner.
Those pictured were all arrested and tried after police staked out the flat and raided it. For little more than attending house parties at the flat, a number of the men pictured were sentenced to more than six months in prison. Britt was sentenced to 15 months hard labour.
Date: c.1926

Bag ... check
We're off on holiday to France in a couple of days so I haven't really settled to much. I do need to get thinking about packing and also to sort out the garden before I go, but I'm on here.. mooching about on Flickr (I'm posting many photos! many of them are crap!) , drinking coffee, eating two (shamefully, yes) penguin biscuits (just in time to add some extra flab for the holiday pool-side strip off).
I bought a shoulder bag yesterday as Anita told me (after, what? 17 holidays together?) that bum-bags look crap. But you need somewhere to store your passport/money blah blah so I bought a small faux-army bag made by Diesel. Okay, its actually made by Chinese folk (I made that up as a half baked comment about big fashion brands and exploitation of cheap labour, to aid my right-on credentials for later in this piece.. but then just checked the label and its correct.. china) who get paid by the buyers at Diesel.
It looks groovy but I think I need to wear it with the strap over the diagonal shoulder, NOT hanging straight down off the shoulder that the bag.
I remember being on holiday aged about 14 and one day we stopped at some public toilets and I came out and my dad was waiting for my mum and brother who were still busy in there. He had a little flight bag over one shoulder and even at that age I knew it looked like he was cottaging (more john gielgud than george michael). Okay, he also had a cravat on, as sported by the officer classes in the Air Force which he had recently joined (or maybe he had that because he loved modern jazz and wanted to look chic?) .. so perhaps it was cravat AND handbag combo that killed me.
Anyway, that isn't a value judgement on cottaging, blimey no, I know gay men etc and I wore a diamante earring at a sparkle themed party yesterday and was comfortable with the implied campness and metro-sexual look.. Especially as it went down well with the ladies of the parish gathered there. I haven't worn an earring for years and thought the hole would have closed up, but a gentle push and the advantage of having no feeling in my ear thanks to the recent chopping out of a tumour meant it went in easy.
But I was mortified with my Dad’s bag , he was oblivious and I wouldn't want to make my boys feel the same in some small French town on holiday. So the bag strap goes across the chest and I look like a commando, not a man with a handbag, okay?

Been thinking about the impact and power clothes hold in this society... and how it can define one's gender to a degree. It almost seems kinda silly.
Although I think this generation is the most androgynous generation so far. It's quite exciting.
It's strange though, that female bodied people can get away with SO much. I mean female bodied people can basically go out in binders, wear ties, totally masculine clothes and get seen either as butch, boy, or super sexy - depending on the person who is admiring/looking at said person. But overall nobody will go OMG WHAT THE HELL. Yet male bodied people have such a shitty deal, most can't just strut their stuff in some sexy dress without having some people look at them funny. It's a real shame...I mean I know people who will point and be like wow that guy is in a kilt! If they think that's crazy, hah what would they say if they saw some hot guy totally showing what he got in a real sexy black number? Or those people who still make fun of "metrosexuals" it's like dude, they like to look good, get over it. It's kinda sad that it's socially unacceptable for a guy to be like hey, today I wanna wear a super cute skirt and blouse... but it's generally socially acceptable for a girl to be like hey, today I wanna wear a totally snazzy suit.
What a fucking rip off... we, as a society, desperately need to move the fuck on. It's just clothes, we all should be able to express ourselves in any way, never mind what gender [if any] we are.
This is where I stop and thank everyone who is stepping outside of the gender box and expressing themselves however the hell they want, wearing whatever they want, even if some people give them a hard time. I'm proud of us all <3
