Is Lady Gaga SERIOUS about this "Blood & Semen" smelling fragrance she is supposed to come out with???
According to sources in the fragrance industry hired to develop Lady Gaga‘s first fragrance, the pop star has requested that the scent “smell of blood and semen.”
The idea is mildly shocking, but Gaga is not the first person to think of it.
Rad Hourani, who recently created a fragrance for Six Scents, listed semen as a source of inspiration.
Rihanna and her Feline Photo Shoot...
- Rihanna’s photo shoot for the February issue W Magazine contains classic symbols of Sex Kitten Programming. Here are some of the pictures.
- Leopard skin covering her head, a code for Beta (aka Sex Kitten Programming). She forms the shape of a gun with her fingers, placing an extremity in her mouth, making the weapon phallic. Emphasis on feline prints... Hmmmmm....
Jay-Z, Will Smith & Willow Smith are teaming up to remake "Annie"!
Not sure if you've heard yet but, YUP, Willow Smith we be playing "Annie"! This is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIES and go figure, the 3 of them are remaking this Classical Broadway Film! Guess who Jay-Z is playing??? PUNJAB!!! In the 1982 film, the bodyguard, Punjab was from India. In the remake, he (Jay-Z) will be from Brooklyn! How you love that???? This will be Jay-Z first role acting. I wonder when is it due to release...
Had to snatch it from MediaTakeout.com
Lil Wayne's New Video and his new "swag"...
So peep out this photo here:
I was searching through MediaTakeout.com to see what type of bafoonery they have going on, and so I see an article on Lil Wayne with this picture here:
They say now when you are showing your crack like that, that means you are available to men. And the tattoo on his back… Well I don’t know if that is new, but all I can say is woooooow!!!
This photo was taken on the set of his new video...
"Everybody Is Gay" - by Aisha Sekhmet
This video below is not really safe for work, but it kind of tripped me out although I am aware of a lot about certain things when it comes to the "New World Order" and the "Secret Society". I was talking with a friend and she had mentioned to me how it appears that their is some form of "public humiliation" done during the "initiation". Kind of like what Kanye West did to Taylor Swift and how Chris Brown did the MJ Tribute, started crying, got talked about, etc. and now all of the sudden, you see him blowing up now with his new hits, and I noticed in the new video with some new artist named Jawan Harris and the song is titled "Another Planet", he has his one eye covered. I know this doesn't have anything to do with the whole "Everybody Us Gay" video, but he IS in the video as well so "I'm just saying"... Then back to the whole gay thing, its like the article I posted about Dave Chapelle not willing to put on a dress and play a female role, but they make all of the male comedians do it just about. Well the WELL KNOWN ONES anyone.. This is just so crazy to me!
Thoughts or input anyone...???
Here is the video of Chris Brown that I was mentioning above with Jawan Harris:

Tuesday in Hong Kong
Tuesday morning was a good opportunity to sleep in and relax. We didn't really get motivated until after breakfast and then in the early afternoon took the ferry from Kowloon across the water into Hong Kong. A few hours were spent meeting with art dealers and looking at various objects. Later in the day we met up with some good friends and then went for drinks followed by a late leisurely dinner at an Australian steak house in the heart of Hong Kong's bustling nightlife district. It was a good time with lots of laughing and joking. We arrived back to the hotel before midnight and were asleep almost minutes later.
Wednesday Morning: It was easy getting up at six in the morning and packing. On short trips luggage and packing is so easy. Unfortunately Cathay was not able to upgrade us to Business Class but still we have good seats anyway. With luck the flight won't be too busy.

Taipai on a Grey Cloudy Monday Morning
The last few days have been a whirlwind of activity from looking at collections on Friday and Saturday, a music recital on an ancient Chinese table top stringed instrument, and viewing another large collection on Sunday morning and two more in the afternoon. Today we will relax a little and then head over to the Palace Museum after lunch. There is a Gesar exhibition on display.
A friends flew in from Beijing via Hong Kong last night. He is supposed to come to the museum with us - although also known to be a late sleeper.
My head cold didn't get any better and I have been suffering with it. The nose has stopped running - possibly re-charging
Tonight we leave for the airport at 5:30 and fly out at 8:20 for Hong Kong.

Taipai - Saturday Morning
It is unusual for me but every once and awhile I wake up with, or come down with, a cold. That's what I feel I have right now and since yesterday. It started off with a slight cough and turned into a kind of headache. I broke a fever in the middle of the night and have been gradually feeling better ever since - although it is only ten in the morning and the activities of the day haven't started yet. Yesterday we left Hong Kong early and traveled uneventfully to Taipei. The flight was only an hour and a half and served breakfast - a ham and cheese sandwich - surprisingly good (compared with excessive congee). We made our way to the hotel and got settled before going out for what might have been the best Chinese organic vegetarian lunch ever. There were several dishes that were just outstanding. The little shop off of a side street or ally only had about eight tables with four seats for each - not a restaurant one would naturally choose. Bourdain is unlikely to have ever been there.
After lunch we had time to visit a Dharma Mart, Buddha Bazaar, Dharma Mall catering to all of one's Buddhist needs - notions, potions, images, mock offerings and torma, Dharma texts, sadhanas (with Chinese translation), household goods, furniture, soap, oil and of course prayer wheels - solar, electric, battery, wind and hand powered. It was an adventure.
The main event for the day was meeting with a Chinese dealer with a large collection of sculpture and paintings. It was an amazing time. There were many works that I had never seen before and some were very good, very interesting and captivated the mind for long periods. We were there most of the rest of the day and well into the night. We were able to grab some dinner at the hotel lounge before retiring for evening, and me into a feverish state.The two images above are of the beautifully manicured Buddhist Nunnery in Hong Kong (quietest place in the city). The second image is attempting to show some of the dozens of miniature trees on the park grounds. The remaining leaves (remember it is winter here) do not appear clearly in the photo. The trees could easily have been props in either the movie Lord of the Rings or Avatar.

TATTOO DESIGN ART - The Tribal Tattoo Art
The tribal tattoo art have a rich history of tradition, dating back thousands and thousands of years. Throughout the course of time, there has always been an important role of tradition and ritual behind tribal tattoo art.The Tribal Tattoo Art
Tribal tattoos are generally influenced by tribal art from native and indigenous tribes. The tribal tattoo art comes from the older tribes such as the Celtics (Ireland, Scotland, & Wales), the Maori Tribe (indigenous people of New Zealand), the North American Tribal, the African Tribal, the Marquesan (Polynesian inhabitants of the Marquises Islands) and the tribes of Borneo.
Celtic Tattoo Art
Celtic tattoo art come from Ireland. Celtic knot tattoos are some of the most popular and most common designs, featuring loops with no end that symbolize a never ending cycle of dying and rebirth. There are also Celtic cross and animal tattoo designs as well
Mori Tribal tattoo Art
The Maori, the aborigines of New Zealand, call their tribal tattoo "Moko" and Mori art is incredible to behold. To the Maori, a person's Moko designs enhanced their prestige and show transition from one social status to another. At its highest level, Moko designs proclaimed the sacredness of chieftainship.
North American Tribal Art
There are many Indian tribes in North America and many different traditions for tribal tattooing. It was very common for tattoos to denote rank within the tribe. Take the Illinois Indians for example. It was quite common for weapons of war to be tattooed upon the men and it is suggested by some that the women received tattoos of tools used for labor. The tools of war outranked the tools of labor. This was, to the best of my knowledge, their tradition. They seemingly kept their practices to a minimum.
Samoa Tribal tattoo art
The Samoan tribal tattoo was done with a carved boar tusk, sharpened with a piece of coral, attached to a turtle shell, and then affixed to a stick. This tool is used to carve the designs into the flesh by tapping it against the skin and then a mixture of candle nut soot and sugar water is rubbed into the resulting wound.
Marquesan Tribal tattoo art
Sea-faring Polynesians from Samoa colonized the Marquises Islands as early as 300 A.D. They were warring tribes who sometimes cannibalized their enemies. Marquesan art is very uncommon. Most tribal tattoos are done with one specific object and the size variation is minimal. This is not so with the Pacific.
African Tribal tattoo art
Tribes in Africa do not use pigment for tattooing, they cut the skin and either the wound is packed with a substance so that it becomes raised or it is rubbed with ash or sand until the wound rises up, then the scar is the tattoo.
Borneo Tribal tattoo Art
Borneo is the third largest island in the world. The Dayak people reside here for centuries, they believe that spirits are in everything around them. For this reason they believe that by tattooing an object or creature on them they can draw energy from these spirits.
While the tribal tattoo was originally used to identify members of specific tribes, represent battles fought, and to serve as the symbolization of social status, today tribal tattoo art is a popular fashion. a lot of people today choose various designs simply for aesthetic reasons. Some of the most popular designs include dragon, butterfly and sun tribal tattoos. This tattoo can be put virtually anywhere on the body, The back and arms are usually the most common areas where people have them applied, but the ankle, calf, and chest are also used.
The Tribal tattoo art expresses personal freedom and uniqueness of the wearer. Tribal art has a simple appeal that reinforces a positive feeling about ourselves and connects us to ancient mystery of the tribal rituals, which faded away with history.
How do you find the perfect tribal & celtic tattoo designs?
The secret is to browse through a lot of tribal tattoo designs before you settle on the one.
