Rebirth of Venus, the Art of Orlan

The French artist Orlan, her actual name is unknown, is making the ultimate sacrifice for art, her own body is her canvas. She has designed the perfect woman on her computer by using the worlds most famous women portraits, like the chin of Botticelli's Venus and the forehead of da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Through multiple operations, her atelier is the operating room, she is trying to really become the ultimate female she has designed.

The art of Orlan can be seen as a comment on the body culture in our modern world, we admire the perfect body and are searching for the eternal youth. Our body culture is not criticized by Orlan, she is just showing us how narcisstic we actually are becoming. Is that a bad thing? That yours to decide, but looking at the images of her surgery performances I must say I get really frightened.

The operations themselves are filmed on camera. The surgeons are wearing special outfits designed by famous designers, like Paco Rabanne and Issey Miyake. While she is undergoing her operations, there is music, dance and poetry.

In the art world they are kind of used to the idea that artists call themselves, or their actions, the artwork. Think of all the performances and happenings we had in the seventies, but this is something different. Orlon is actually considering her own body as art, and even brings her skin, the parts that are not used in the reconstruction, on the art market.

Dancing with the Stars

The Professor was mad at me. We had agreed to meet at 8 pm to sign an important agreement. My delay led to postponement of the meeting.

"What in heaven's name happened to you?"

It was a mild reproach that nevertheless made me feel bad and reconfirmed my reluctance to have dinner with my TV producer friend who insisted on having the infernal screen on during the meal. Instead of serving dinner at a decent hour as he and his wife usually do, this time they had an important guest other than me. It was the usual mogul whose generous pockets would shortly finance one of my friend's TV ventures.

The meal was not bad except that the screen showed in all its misery that popular program "Dancing with the Stars"! I could not think of an excuse drastic enough to get up off the table and rush into the evening traffic. I suffered in silence.

"What was so terrible about having the program Dancing with the Stars as dinner background? " Asked the Professor.

"Well, for one thing, dancing is the wrong term. When you have a couple of great athletes that seemingly have been starched inside and out ,that move in spasms, gyrations, stiff turns and sequences with a minimum of grace and beauty, no great meal is going to reduce the pain and revulsion."

"Tell me more' he urged.

"Dance is or should be a blend of rhythm, beauty and music, not a gymnastic exhibition performed by dummies who believe that keeping a robot attitude, a stiff back and an artificial sense of coordinated motion, they are performing a dance!"

I paused for a moment and then declared:

"Our next president would do well to forbid these spectacles to take place. They are anti-American, attempt against the laws of inertial navigation, erode the sense of naturalness, equilibrium and grace of our youth and gives the US the image of a country that encourages its people to defy gravity and wear uncomfortable shoes!"

Belly Dancing Turkey - The Super Sultry and Seductive Belly Dancing Style From Turkey

Belly Dancing is a very popular form of entertainment in Turkey. It is quite common to find dancers performing in nightclubs and restaurants all over the country. However belly dancers are often hired for private events such as weddings, festivals, shows and parties.

In Turkey belly dancing has a long-standing tradition that has lately become a hot tourist attraction. In spite of its popularity these dances remain an intrinsic part of the private lives of all Turks regardless of age or class, and in its most basic form it is a dance for fertility.

In its native tongue it is called "Gobek dans" and it is still growing and changing even today especially as it comes under the influence of various cultures. And the authorities are mixed on where they believe the original dance came from, some say from the Greeks and others claim that it is from the Egyptians.

In The Clubs

The art is very popular in Turkish nightclubs and is a profitable profession for women who receive their tips from men literally showering them in paper money, or by stuffing bills into their costumes. And of course a little known fact is that men also belly dance. It is not uncommon for men to jump up out of the audience and accompany the woman on stage. Of course this happens more often at private parties or festivals than in the clubs.

Worldwide Popularity

As belly dancing spreads the globe it is enjoying increased popularity as it hits different parts of the world. Perhaps the allure of the dance is due to its rich heritage that makes it so unique as a dance style. Because of this heritage many people associate the belly dancing from Turkey with religion and exoticism. And of course this causes some strong opinions about the art; some love it while others despise it.

The Music

In Turkey the dancer is generally a well-curved woman, with strong abs muscles who dances to a backdrop of traditional music. She will often accompany the music with the use of clangs, which are the little bells used during a Turkish belly dance. The music is very rhythmic and the dance emphasizes the movement of the hips and chest. The movements are solid and organic as the dancer moves bare foot across the floor in order to remain connected to the earth.

The Movements

The cadence of the dancers body parts are the main characteristic of this style. The dancer moves with fluid, supple and well-integrated movements which are very sensual in nature. Most movements concentrate on the hips and shoulders, which alternate with shimmy and sliding moves.

Various other items are used by dancers, which are specific to Turkey such as serpents, swords, veils and candles. These items are most widely used in Turkish folk dances, and are said to have mystical powers. The use of a snake during dances come from the ancient cults and are a foundational element symbolizing male and female sexuality and even the concept of immortality.

Learning To Play The Acoustic Guitar - What You Should Know Before You Start

Playing guitar should be fun, and learning to play the acoustic guitar is a good way to start. Acoustic is bit more difficult to learn than electric, but to begin learning acoustic all you need is a guitar and a pick, or plectrum, so most people start with acoustic, and then go on to electric if that is what they want.

However, there are some things you should know before you start, and this applies to any type of guitar playing, not only acoustic. Some of these might sound designed to put you off playing, but they are not intended that way and are things that every player should know and come to understand in time.

The first is that if you are the kind of person that starts something and then loses interest or gets bored and tends to go onto something else, then guitar playing is not for you. It requires dedication and long hours of practice, and unless you are committed to it then you are likely better trying something other than guitar. In order to be any kind of guitar player you should be prepared to set aside at least an hour a day for guitar practice, and never deviate from that. Sometimes you might not feel like it, but keep it up or you will never make it. Learning to play the acoustic guitar involves a lot of practice, and practice is the main way to become a decent player.

Be prepared for pain. Guitar strings cut into your fingers and it will hurt at the start. Every good guitar player has to go through this, but eventually you will develop calluses on your fingertips and you will suddenly find guitar playing comfortable and fun. You should also strengthen your grip so that you will find it easier to hold the guitar. When you start playing you will be using muscles in your hands that you hardly used that way before, and that too will hurt at first. The stronger your fingers and your grip the better it will be for you, so take a tip and buy yourself one of these grip strengtheners or use a tennis ball to squeeze on regularly. You will soon be able to run your fingers up and down the fret without any discomfort at all.

If you are prepared to carry on having learned these facts then you are ready to start learning. If you have not bought your guitar yet, you have two choices. Either purchase a cheap one, or better still, borrow a spare one from a friend and use that until you find if you really are suited to the guitar, or just go ahead and purchase the best you can. You should buy the best possible guitar that you can afford, because with guitars you get what you pay for. However, if you aren't sure if you want to continue with it, it could be an expensive purchase, hence the cheapo to try out first.

Now pick it up and have a good look at it. Get to know the function of each part of it. Understand the purpose of the soundbox, check out the strings and how they are constructed. Find out how the notes change as you go up and down the frets. Try out two or three different types of plectrum, or pick. Not the difference between a soft and a hard pick, and try to determine which gives a sound closest to the one you like best.

Once you understand how your instrument is constructed, and how it makes the sounds that it does, then that is just about all you need know before you start learning to play the acoustic guitar. One thing that has not been mentioned: music. We can all get so engrossed in the instrument itself that we can lose sight of what an acoustic guitar is for: to play music. That is something that you have to understand - playing the guitar might seem like a cool thing to do, especially if your buddies all have a guitar, but if you are not really interested in music much then there is not much point in you starting lessons.

By music I don't mean listening to the latest chart stuff, but real music. The music that you read and play, and the type of music that inspires you. It takes a musical inclination to play it rather than just listen to it, and that is why the vast majority of people who buy a guitar never actually get far with it. They think it a cool thing to do, but aren't really interested in music other than the latest by Leona Lewis or Ray J.

So there you are: the things you should know before learning to play acoustic guitar. If you still want to learn after reading that then you likely have what it takes to become a good player. The key is practice, and if you practice enough then you will eventually get where you want to be.

Finding Rare and Vintage Vinyl Records

The classic way to listen to music is with vinyl. It is the old form of music playback that is a cherished item for the Baby Boomer generation in North America. However, since the advent of the cassette player, they have faded away and it has been decades since they were actually sold as part of new music packages.

So, for those who wish to go back to the days of Elvis, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, what can they do? Well, thankfully just because cassette players, CDs and mp3 players have come along, it has not meant that all vinyl records have been destroyed. In fact, many still exist.

When you are looking for vinyl records, it does not have to be a hard chore, and you can actually find them in many different places around the city. One of the best places to look is the pawn shop. They are the dens of the antiques that no one wants any more, and you will be able to find some great vinyl records there that could prove useful to your collection.

Second hand shops are also great locations for vinyl records as people donate them when they get newer versions of music playback technologies. You may find a diamond in the rough, or simply a copy of the record your mom threw into the garbage in 1967.

That being said, do not expect to find Led Zeppelin IV, Tommy or Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in the second hand store or pawn shops. Even average music listeners know those are valuable and will not give them up without a good price in return.

For the high end and collectable vinyl records you may be looking for, you will have to check out collector's shops, where you will find the records but not for a cheap price. You can probably expect to pay upwards of $50 to $200 for some records, instead of the one dollar per record you would pay in a pawn shop or second hand store.

Vinyl records have gone the way of the Do Do Bird, and no company makes them anymore. They are nothing more than collector items now for a variety of Baby Boomers and their children who want to grab a piece of history. They can be found in many different places in the city, including pawn shops and second hand stores. At those locations, you will find a variety of vinyl records, from the obscure to the well-known. Of course, for the more expensive and valuable types of records, you will have to go to collector shops, or even better, eBay, which will have every kind of record you could possibly imagine to put into your collection.

These days, there are more opportunities than ever to find the vinyl records you are looking for because they have been supplanted by new technology not once, but three times. In fact, two of the technologies that supplanted vinyl records, cassettes and CDs, are considered archaic these days. So, where are you going to find the vinyl records you are looking for?

Victor Epand is an expert consultant for used CDs, autographed CDs, and used musical instruments. You can find the best marketplace for used CDs, autographed CDs, and used musical instruments at these sites for used vinyl recordings, autographed vinyl record and used 70"s musical instruments.

How To Make Your Wedding Music Rock

Your wedding is one of the most significant days of your life, and as such, you want everything, from the moment you awaken to the honeymoon, to be perfection so you have great memories. Naturally, the reception also included, and this means you will want to take precautions in choosing the music for your wedding reception.

Ensuring that you have great music for your wedding reception means a lot more then just finding a guy who can play "The Chicken Dance" at some point during the evening. Choosing a good provider for the music at your wedding reception can set the tone for the whole evening and create more memories of your special day, whether good or bad. Knowing how to choose your wedding entertainment will increase your chance that those memories are good ones.

Ensure There's Music

It seems silly to state the obvious, but ensure that the person providing the music at your wedding reception has a wide range of music; you don't want to attend your reception and find that the selection of wedding music is limited to a handful of awful ballads that no one seems to like. A wide range of music in your provider's collection means that requests at the reception can be handled. If you'd like to hear a special song while at your reception, ensure that the person providing the music at your wedding reception can play it.

And while you talk with your provider about the music, ascertain that he will have all the equipment to play it. You don't want to host your wedding at your local community center only to find that the most your music provider has brought is his stereo system from home.

Ensure it Flows

Be sure to discuss with your provider before and how the music will fit accordingly with the tone of your reception. If you intend for the happy couple's special song to be played after the cutting of the cake, be sure to tell your music provider. It will seem awkward if the music at your wedding reception isn't played at the appropriate times. Don't hesitate to ask the person providing music at your wedding reception for advice on music to choose or timing for particular songs. If you've picked an experienced provider of wedding reception music, you will have a great source of advice about what has and hasn't worked for other wedding receptions.

And on the subject of finding an experienced provider, be sure to obtain references and make a point to check them. You don't want to discover on the day of your wedding that your DJ tends to hit the open bar more often then he hits the record table. With care and some planning beforehand, though, you'll have a selection of wonderful music along with your wonderful wedding.

Songs I Love To Hate - My Humps

If my husband really wants to tick me off, all he has to do is ask me what I'm going to do with all that junk in my trunk. I hear those few words and I'm off and running. I can literally rant for hours. That is how much this song gets under my skin.

When I first heard it, I had to laugh. Lady lumps? Really? I figured it was a joke. But it wasn't. The Black Eyed Peas' song My Humps was a dance hit in 2005. The song was catchy and is a popular ringtone. It has also spawned a wonderful parody by Alanis Morissette. It was also the beginning of a horrible trend among female singers: objectifying themselves and other women.

This song annoys me in so many ways it's hard to know where to start. Obviously the lyrics are my number one annoyance. Demeaning and vulgar it pains me to listen to them. I don't want young girls thinking it's okay to use their lady lumps and bumps to get guys to buy them stuff. Isn't that technically a form of prostitution? At the very least it has the potential to create gold diggers everywhere.

And that sing song not really singing but sort of singing voice Fergie uses drives me nuts. And it's everywhere now. Even Madonna gives it a go on her new album. I think maybe it's supposed to be seductive but to me it sounds like a hop scotch tune.

Perhaps the most annoying thing for me about this song is that it's catchy. It was a huge hit and people of all ages listen to it. Young 'tweens listen to it. And end up thinking that the only way to succeed and get what you want is by using your body. And once you get what you want? Simply move on to the next victim, shake your humps at him and he's all yours.
