Quite Cuntrary
I don’t think my cunt wants to hang out in poems
dripping with beautiful analogy…
But it does want to hang out in beautifully cast sculptures and dangling pendants. Oh hell, who are we kidding. Gilding’s cunt will hang out in anything glorifying its beauty, narcissistic cunt that it is.
Daringly realistic, Quite Cuntrary artist Annie hand sculpts her interpretations of the vagina, inspired by the beautiful forms of real vaginas and heavily influenced by the flowers and leaves, seashells, and other such organic shapes and textures of nature.
Its amazing how flower-like the vagina is itself in nature. How delicate and purfume filled it can be and yet strong and able to withstand the pounding of Spring’s release. Teehee…
Ahhh…::sigh::…Gilding couldn’t decide which cunt was her favorite so be sure to stop by Quite Cuntrary’s Etsy store and her artist’s gallery to see her myriad scultptures. You’d be amazed at how many new forms of pussy her pieces can introduce you to .^_~.
the above excerpt is from the poem by Olivia Macassey, the cunt poem (2001)
Adventures in Isabella’s Wonderland
A few years after Alice fell down the rabbit hole and discovered the surreal Wonderland and Land behind the looking-glass, but some years before Dorothy was swept from her aunts Arkansas farm by a tornado to the magical Land of Oz, another special chosen one existed; Isabella.
She found her way to the Land of Wonders, a land beyond everyone’s imagination, a land of fables and legends. She was there when Dorothy and her colourful entourage walked the Yellow Brick Road and also when a lonely pilot crashed his aeroplane into that remote desert to encounter the Little Prince.
Little Isabella didn’t age as the years flashed by and after many decades she returned to a profoundly changed modern world, where the magic of her childhood had disappeared with the legacy of Alice and Dorothy alsmost forgotten.
Unable to return to the world of her childhood she tries to give everyone a glimpse of that mystical world and places she visited during those magical years.
Personally, Gilding wants everyone if these shadow puppets, but Isabella’s Art is not limited to these and you can see a great deal more of her prints, illustrations, bookplates, even moleskin journals featuring her drawings on her website, her blog, and her Etsy store.
A Gossip Not to Gossip
The creation of artist Ruth Jensen, Ms. Gossip is a life size wire sculpture made of recycled copper wire. Hand twisted in a continuous process from bobbed hair to high heels, it took hundreds of feet of the copper wire to create her. In her continuous construction she sports a classic sleeveless dress and is accessorized by glass bead earings and a triple strand necklace.
Her seated dimensions measure 53″ high, 28″ wide, and 31″ deep. The stool she sits on is included but she’ll sit on anything that measures 18″ high. Unfortunately unless you live in or within driving distance of Jensen’s St. Paul, MN, home or are willing to pay the steep price for shipping, this piece is pick-up only.

Oh Dear, I’ve Gone Buck Head Again
Gilding so has a hard-on for faux buck head wall mounts (as you may have deigned from earlier posts).
This buck head is do-it-yourself and is affordably made out of foam core, wrapping paper, and spray adhesive. Go wild — make one for every wall.
Template and instructions available here.
Cute and Lightly Pepperd with Evil
Cute with a slightly evil twist, tsai-fi creates these cute little baubles by hand, each one being unique (as there are no hulking goliaths of metal machinery factory rolling out her creations) and are based on her own characters.
They’re cute, they’re whimsical, they’re peppered with just a little bit of evil, and best part, they’re affordable enough to own the whole collection.

Poster Girl
Gotta love a girl that’s into latex, photography, and a commentary on fantasy and the fetishistic interpretation…::turned-on sigh::…so hot.
Graphic artist Jasper Goodall and her new series of works, Poster Girl, explores the themes of fetish and fantasy. Beautifully erotic, the pieces are equally about the world of fetish with both an appreciative and yet critical eye. It is essentially erotic art about erotic art, and are a result of Goodall’s own musings on erotica and sexual fetish.
Some of the pieces display Goodall’s interest in the fetishisation of the otherwise innocent: materials like rubber and PVC; color, such as pink and its association with sexy-ness; textures like the shininess of the latex itself that takes on a fluid like appearance when stretched over the human body, suggesting lubrication, and its overall subliminal message of something new and pretty and coveted, referencing glamour and self decoration.
Other pieces in the series explore the clichés of sex (i.e. the naughty nurse, the naughty nun, the kinky policewoman, the innocent shepherdess, the cheerleader, the schoolgirl, etc) and their interestingly shared ideas of innocence corrupted, mothering turned sexual, and/or authority and power bent or discarded in sexual abandon.
Finally, Goodall references peoples’ ideas of fantasy and reality. The pieces are all of a model holding an image in front of her even as she herself is dressed up for role-playing.
Goodall’s Poster Girl is currently being exhbitied at the Electric Blue Gallery in London.

Hitler’s Porsche
It is on this day in history in 1936 that Adolf HItler opened the first Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg, Germany.
Having taken an interest in cars, even though he himself did not like to drive, Hitler, shortly after taking over as leader of Germany (1933), appraoched Ferdinand Porsche about making changes to his original 1931 design to make it more suited for the working man. Hans Ledwinka, an Austrian automobile designer known for his innovation regarding both technology and aesthetics, worked in collaboration with Porsche, who used many Tatra design features, in the 1938 “KdF-Wagen, later known as the VW Käfer — or Volkswagen Beetle.

Epoch of Ptolemy’s Nabonassar Era
The Greek astronomer Claudius Ptolemaeus started an era (i.e. a start point for chronological calculations), in the first year of his reign, on New Year’s day in the Egyptian calendar: February 26th (which happened to be a Wednesday that year) in 747 BC in the proleptic Julian calendar. On this day the Nabonassar era began. The starting point was used by Ptolemy because it was the earliest reign that included an astronomical observation he used, and was used by later astronomers but not by the Babylonians themselves.

P.S.U.D.’s
On this, the anniversary of the passing of one of Life’s Joys, Gilding has decided to spend the occassion in celebration of her memory with some gloriously fun puddle stompers of unusual design (P.S.U.D’s — like R.O.U.S’s only not furry and life threatening.)
Smith and Hawken’s Red Wellies Soap & Dish feature their classic red wellies captured in a luxurious hand and body soap and come in a light, garden-inspired fragrance of citrus with a touch of mint.
Shuella — otherwise known as the “shoe umbrella” — was born of frustration for ruined designer shoes in inclement weather and were fashionably constructed to be worn over your high-heeled beauties with the slip of a clutch and velcro fasteners.
Feeding the need for a little Rainy Day Gardening, these colorful ceramic baby rain boot planters are packed with everything needed to start a garden — except the rain, of course.
Ah, Gilding sees some measuring a ‘boot…Ok, that was a tad too corney. The Regina Regis Rain Wellington Boot is not different in design than any other run of the mill Puddle Stomper except that it features a rain measuring scale imprinted on the boot’s side. Some have attributed the boot’s design as a demonstrative message to the rising sea levels and increased flooding that has become a threat to many, but there’s no accounting for crazy Brit’ thinking .^_~.
Some prefer the gold leaf gilding of ornate framed mirrors, but we prefer to stare at our reflection in a Puddle Stomper Mirror.
Ah, a Sterling Silver Wellington Boot Cufflinks. What could be classier than a puddle stomper on your sleeve.
Hmm…so many ways to puddle stomp, where to stop. For now we shall say ado, but not before mentioning the poshest puddle stompers around — the boots of Project Joy Boots. A non-profit organization, Project Joy Boots was established in the grief and joyous memory of Marisa Joy Williams, a young technical theater major tragically lost to family and friends this day last year. Rising from the ashes of hurt and the tears of love, Project Joy Boots set out to spread the love of puddle stompers — a personal favorite of Marisa’s and often used as a canvas for any given mood of artistry she was in at the moment — and raise enough money to establish a scholarship in Marisa’s name for other technical theater students of Gulf Coast Community College. A separate portion of funds raised from the auctioning off of these puddle stompers turned works of art is donated to the Humane Society. To make a contribution to Project Joy Boots or to donate your own pair of artistic made-over puddle stompers or to see the many boots that have been created and donated by family, friends, and artists far and wide alike, visit their facebook page, Project Joy Boots.
Of Gilded Books
While this little ditty is actually a single piece construction, Gilding wonders what it would look like if it were constructed out of real books.
This piece, the Tabouret en carton Leseratte, is a printed, hard-bound unit. Its mosaic appearance has a “tendency of the moment” feel when it is in fact delivered flat and easily assembled. Even with such easy construction, the manufacturer assures the piece is extremely solid and can be used in a multiplicity of ways, from stool to bedside table.
But Gilding has a slew of Advanced Reader Copy books that she will never read (hard to believe, but there are books out there that she just doesn’t care a thing for) but her bookwormy heart just couldn’t throw them away. Instead, they have remained packed away in boxes waiting to be turned into the next art project. Perhaps some will make it into a project like this one. Blasphemous? Gilding should think not. Just because there is freedom of the press doesn’t mean that all things written should ever be printed. At least this way their inked pages and glued binding will make them worth something. She knows, Gilding is such a flatterer .^_~.
But hell, while we’re at it, let’s just rape the site for all its worth.
The Arbre à Bijoux, from designer Louise Christ. Chirst imagined an arrangement of jewels about a refined scultpure which could very well be an object of decoration for the whole to share.
These Ruffled Goblets by Rob Brandt are pop art meets eco conscious. Brandt diverted an object of everyday consumption and made it a durable cup of which its ruffled aspects gives us a clean life. Made out of unbleached ceramics, each cup is made by hand and signed. But Gilding thinks she’s going to hop on over to Tammy’s studio, make herself a few casts of some crumpled plastic cups, and viola, a veritable factory line of ceramic cups all her own.
This neat contraption is exactly what it looks like, only cooler than those silly Hallmark ones you get your mother for Mother’s Day. The Fotofalls on Foot. Soooo…its a tree…and it holds photos…or postcards, or decorative harmonious objects. You get the idea.
Ok. Gilding is done with the raping. Now its just chafing. And that’s no fun.

My Little Modded Pony
As if 80’s toys weren’t awesome enough, Mari Kasurine has join the ranks of many fans and gone and modded them all up My Little Pony style. From Batman to Cthulhu, Tim Burton creations to such great 80’s iconography as the characters of Heman and Starwars, Kasurine has even managed to make some room for The King and Cry Baby.
Last year, Hasbro held a contest, the My Little Pony Project, which invited fans, both kids and adults, to design their own, original My Little Pony figure as part of their “25 Ponies for 25 Years” collection. The international collection of 18 inch tall My Little Pony figures was created not only in celebration of their quarter of a century old birthday, but also as a celebration of the whimsical nature of the brand. The contest also supported Give Kids The World Village, a non-profit organization that strives to provide magical memories for children with life threatening diseases.
Though the contest has ended, and images of the 25 winning Pony figures can be seen in their gallery, fans haven’t stopped their modding of the beloved toys.

Newly Loli
Once a beloved collection of childrens poems in Soviet times, as one person wrote, “just ask any Russian about Agnia Barto and he’ll have some sweet memories from his childhood.” Ok, so they were a bit gender specific given it was meant to be a general statement, but we’ll forgive them this since they are translating from Russian to English.
And while the writer of this post points out that no double entendres are meant by this Russian equivalent of our Mother Goose rhymes, they ask if this newest modern addition of the book is “OK”? Gilding has one thing to say — can we say Loli?
The translation of the poem on this particular image as well as more images of this new Loli naughty edition of the children’s poem book, may be seen on English Russia.
