One might simplify this by saying: men act and women appear. Men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at.

John Berger – Ways Of Seeing

I think I want most of all to observe as well as to be observed. I desire a partner who revels in being desirable to me as well as desiring me… revels not only in my desire but in the knowledge of their own desirability. They watch and watch themselves being watched. A lot of fem dom iconography is based upon the idea that women should get off on the power of being desired… and that feminine power resides in passively being desired rather than pursuing the objects of one’s own desire. I don’t think enjoying one’s own desirability is inherently a problem, enjoying being watched and desired… I think the fact desire for another and the desire to be desired are fractured and separated from one another is the problem. I think that one of the reasons I’m a sub is because I want a partner who wants to be worshipped for their desirability, who doesn’t see that as a weakness, while also desiring me. I don’t sexually enjoy being worshipped, because if I am a deity, what does some mortal have to offer me? I am reduced to the role of a statue of Venus. I also do not want to have to “be the man” in that I am to desire without being physically desired. I think perhaps I like the bimbofication/transformation scenarios I do because in a certain way it’s me going “okay, I desire this person, what can I do to make myself desirable to them, to make myself an appealing object of observation to them?” because someone interested in having me turn myself into their ideal lust object specifically due to their erotic appeal is initially aroused by being desired (as displayed in the willingness to modify my appearance extensively, suffer pain and humiliation *for* them) but then desires me once I’ve made myself into the thing they desire, if that makes sense.

Bela Lugosi’s Red

White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack

Bela Lugosi’s red
The bats now own the bell tower
The bourgeoisie have fled
Red velvet lines the black box

Bela Lugosi’s red
Bela Lugosi’s red
So red so red so red
So red so red so red
Bela Lugosi’s red

The proletariat file past his tomb
Strewn with time’s dead flowers
Bereft in deathly bloom
Alone in a darkened room
The count

October 20, 1882: Birth of Bela Lugosi, actor, union leader and participant in the 1919 Hungarian Revolution 

Bela Lugosi, the actor world famous as the face of Dracula, was born on Oct. 20, 1882. A distinguished actor on the Hungarian stage, he was a leader of the theatrical workers’ union and supporter of Béla Kun’s Hungarian Soviet Republic of 1919. Like many other leftists, he was forced into exile by the subsequent counter-revolution. 

Lugosi was notoriously ill treated by Hollywood despite his iconic performance in Dracula and other horror films. Along with fellow horror star Boris Karloff, Lugosi was a major force in the establishment of the Screen Actors Guild union during the Great Depression. 

Although Lugosi was careful to keep his political affiliations on the down low, it’s likely that his revolutionary history was a cause of the well documented hostility of Universal Studios boss Carl Laemmle, a right-wing German emigre, toward the star who saved his studio from bankruptcy in 1931. 

It’s tempting to speculate what his career might have been like had he gone East instead of West … where he may have had the opportunity to work with revolutionary filmmakers like Eisenstein.

How do ancaps think they’re anarchists when bosses are literally called “bosses”?

Bossy?  Boss around?  What do you think these phrases mean?

Also it LITERALLY (not figuratively literally, literally literally) derives from the Dutch “baas” meaning “master” so like… they’re less “no gods, no masters” and a lot more “no gods, yes master”
