Middlesex: The Series

Though considered by many to be one of the best novels of the last half-century, Jeffrey Eugenides’ Middlesex was seen as too sprawling and difficult for a film adaptation. Now, HBO is prepping a more relaxed, one-hour drama series based on the book, which will presumably allow a more relaxed unfurling of Eugenides’ magnum opus, as well as the certainty of new scenes and characters extrapolated from the source. The adventures of Callie Stephanides, a hermaphrodite coming to terms with her family history and sexual identity in a Detroit suburb, should make for compelling viewing in the right hands. Those hands? American playwright and Yale literature professor Donald Margulies, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 2000 for his play Dinner With Friends. Rita Wilson will serve as Executive Producer.

I know it’s harder for people who are younger to think of Michael Jackson as being anything but what the isolation of fame made him later in his life, but for the childern of the 80’s, who grew up watching him dance and sing in the prime of his career, to imagine him no longer, it’s mind boggling.

Tart cards are the means by which many London prostitutes advertise their services. Step into almost any central London phone box and you can contemplate up to 80 cards inviting you to be tied, teased, spanked or massaged. Even if a police crackdown, the internet and the increasing use of mobile phones suggest their days are numbered, tart cards are still so pervasive they are now regarded as items of accidental art and have something of a cult following. Once on the periphery of design, tart cards have influenced the work of many mainstream artists such as Royal Academician Tom Phillips and Sex Pistols designer Ray and Nils Stevenson. In conjunction with St Bride Library and Type, we asked designers – from students to superstars – to find the tart hiding in every type and create their own graphic numbers. Along with a selection in the magazine, all 450 cards can be viewed here. They will also be on display at KK Outlet, London from 22nd to 29th June. Click here for the invite to the show. In among this plethora of brilliant, witty graphic designs we would like to highlight the serious issue that lies at the heart of the world of tart cards – the plight of trafficked women in the sex industry.

debauchette and I have been discussing publishing more photos of naked men and gorgeous cock. There is an increasing abundance of women shot sensually and authentically. I’ve found less images of men expressing the same qualities.

I wonder if it’s because a lot of straight men are uncomfortable shooting other men naked.  Maybe the photographer has to be open to the sensuality of men to really be able to elicit and capture it.

Here’s Jay Diers. Here’s a man he’s shot. Here’s a man I’d roll myself on top of.
