E, PORQUE VOLTOU AQUI À BAILA, QUEIRAM CONHECER MELHOR LULLABY BAXTER, ALIÁS, ANGELINA IAPAULO, CANTORA, DETENTORA DE UM B.A. EM WOMEN'S STUDIES, EX-STRIPPER E EX-CALL GIRL, E O SEU PONTO DE VISTA SOBRE UMA DAS MAIS ANTIGAS E NOBRES ARTES DO MUNDO


A Lullaby Baxter coffee table book with Lullaby shooting and turning the pages

"I was a nude dancer and a call girl, for a brief time, I just didn’t want to have a job job, and you don’t get paid much for job jobs and you’re working all the time. I just wanted to have a job where I could just work a couple of times a week, and make all the money I need and just spend the rest of my energy o­n art. At the time the consideration was, 'Why is it such a big deal, it’s just sex and what’s terrible about that? What’s wrong with that and what’s shameful about that? If people get paid to clean toilets, how come that’s more humanizing than having to sleep with somebody for money', you know what I mean? It just didn’t make any sense to me". (...) "I explored a lot. I learned about myself. I became very comfortable with my body, my sexuality. I realized that people can't take things from you if you don't give them. And that it's not about the physical act, it's about how you view it in your mind that things become dirty or bad or this or that. And I was determined not to feel that way. I'm reticent to talk about it because people have very fixed ideas about what that means to them or how they will then look at you, which is too bad. But I think it's really made me strong and tough - and quite a sexy woman, quite a confident woman, quite a performer".

ora aqui está uma boa resposta ao zumzum que anda para aí por causa de uma pub qualquer a uma cerveja

Não me parece que uma coisa tenha muito a ver com a outra:

- no caso da Lullaby, trata-se de uma mulher que, pura e simplesmente, reclama o direito de dar o uso que melhor entende ao corpo (por sinal, nada bonito), independentemente da forma como isso seja socialmente encarado;

- no caso do clip publicitário que suponho que seja o do 1º link daqui,

http://lishbuna.blogspot.com/2010/02/publicidade-de-regresso-ao-paleolitico.html

é só a tradução visual de uma anedota grunha de caserna. Ainda por cima, sem se atrever a mostrar explicitamente o lado porno da coisa (nada contra o porno hetero, gay, BDSM, com ou sem todos os fetiches incluídos, chacun a son goût) o que, aí, esse falso pudor, me parece o aspecto mais francamente disgusting e "porco" da "obra".

Ao menos, neste,

é tudo loud & clear sem púdicos "piiis" para disfarçar.

Quanto ao anúncio, andei a investigar e parece que, afinal, é desta inocentíssima coisa que se trata:
