MUSICAL CHAIN
OF AUTHENTICITY

Whatever in nature and in history is of my own kind, speaks to me, spurs me on, and comforts me; the rest I do not hear or forget right away. We are always only in our own company.

Version : White Lady Music

ILLUMINATI PUPPET

White Lady Represent : Lady Gaga

Industry Rank : High Budget Distraction

Lady Gaga, an Illuminati Puppet, is a Calculated Distraction, as Bright, Colorful and Controversial as Possible to keep the Eyes of the Mass on her and off the Political Activities of the InSiders who control her. The Illuminati Puppet is, in Essence, a Manufactured, or Fake, OutSider Genius : Talented, Creative and Controversial, the Illuminati Puppet is distinguished from the OutSider Genius in her Degree of Artistic Originality and Emotional Honesty : inStead of being Purely Original and Totally Emotionally Honest, despite her Musical Talent and Displays of Creativity, her Music is Devoid of Meaning beyond Hedonism of the Social and Romantic Sort. The Perfect Illuminati Puppet, like Lady Gaga, is Blithely unAware of being an Illunimati Puppet : this is how the InSiders like to keep the Idols of XSWealth, whose Purpose in Media is Distraction from Politics and Motivation to work Hard for Money in the Capitalist Economy. Illuminati Puppets are chosen by the InSiders for that Position because they are the Most Talented of the Revolving Door and because, like Any Musical Act who makes it to the Revolving Door, they are Either Politically Apathetic or sold on Class Tiered Capitalism before they become Famous and therefore do their Job - distract / entertain the Populace - without drawing Attention to the unFairness of this System by writing Songs about it or by making Comments in Interviews which point it out (Lady Gaga’s Determination to help the Causes of Bullied Kids and Queers is Essentially Harmless). Because Lady Gaga does not know she is an Illuminati Puppet (she thinks she is an OutSider Genius!) she comes across as Authentic. This is Key in selling the Idea that Lady Gaga has risen to the Top of the Record Label Heap because of Musical Talent and not, rather, because she is the Most Effective Tool of Capitalist Mass Xploitation.

ROTATING DOOR

White Lady Represent : Marina and the Diamonds

Industry Rank : Marketing Tool

Below the Illuminati Puppet, we find the Rotating Door of Fame from which the Illuminati Puppet is selected based on Talent. All Music produced by Artists in the Rotating Door sounds the Same : Bubble Gum Pop. Its Purpose, for the InSiders (the Owners of the Means of Production, the multiNational Media Companies), is to sell Identities and Ideologies to the Public. Listening to the Lyrics of a Marina and the Diamonds Song, for Xample, tells us which Identities and which Ideologies the InSiders want to sell to Girls toDay : Selfish Consumerism. The Songs of the Rotating Door are Reliably Devoid of Emotional Depth, but Abundant in Light Hearted Fun and Luxury Consumption. This is because Any Profundity of Feeling is Antithetical to a Consumer Society in which we are encouraged to be spending Money, pleasing our Selves on a Short Term Consumer Basis, and this goes for the Products we consume as Well as for Personal Relationships (Personal Relationships, in Rotating Door Songs and in the Lives of Rotating Door Stars [Most Pop Stars], are as Disposable and Faddish as the OutFits worn in their Videos, and Equally intended Primarily to reinforce the Desirability of being a Pop Star, rather than the Desirability of carrying on a Healthy Relationship with the Self or an Other) : a Society in which People are Alienated from One anOther, and see One anOther (and their Sevles!) as Xperiences to be consumed / Props to reinforce their Personal Enviability (Glamour is the Evocation of Envy) is a Society that is Easy to sway in its Lack of InterPersonal Emotional Bonds that go beyond what and how we consume. The Singers in the Rotating Door are as Manufactured as Barbie Dolls, their Identities created for them by the Record Labels who write their Songs and direct their Videos in Order to brainwash the Fans who covet their Wealth and Fame. Singers in the Rotating Door are alWays presented as if they have Access to Large Sums of Money and are Sxually Desirable : the Intention is for the Audience to be so Taken in by this Material Luxury and Sxual Desirability they emulate the Singers in their Behaviors. But, because of their enForced Lack of Personal and Artistic Authenticity (the Singers do not write their Own Music, and their Lives are run by their Handlers), the Musicians in the Rotating Door tend to burn out Early, to be replaced with New Musicians who are Fresh and Young and a Little Closer to the Zeitgeist (also, because it is Best to install Identities and Ideologies Young, if they are to stick, Much Rotating Door Music is directed at Teens and preTeens).

CROSSOVER

White Lady Represent : Lana Del Rey

Industry Rank : Marketing Xperiment

What happens when a Record Label decides an Indie or Acceptable UnUsual Artist is Popular Enough or has the “Right Stuff” to become More Famous and, thereby, earn them More Money? She becomes a Crossover Star! This alMost alWays ends Badly for her. The Indie / Acceptable UnUsual Artist is Either Completely absorbed into Commercial Pop and looses Every Thing that Once made her a Unique Musician, or, the Artistic Authenticity that got her Attention threatened by a Move up the Chain, Popularity, Xposure, and the Corresponding Increase in Demands on her Time and Energy causes her to Self Destruct (Usually with Drugs). Lana Del Rey is a Case in Point. Lizzie Grant aka Lana Del Rey is a Beautiful and Disturbing Album whose Brilliance lies in its Lyrical Details – the Wedding Ring in ‘Brite Lights,’ ‘Yayo’s Haunting Chorus, the Casinos on Indian Reservations in ‘Queen of the Gas Station,’ etc. – it’s Tragic Nostalgia with a Frank, Submissive / Oedipal Sxuality. Born to Die, on the Other Hand, is a Mess. ‘Born to Die,’ ‘Video Games,’ ‘Blue Jeans,’ ‘Diet Mountain Dew,’ and ‘Summertime Sadness,’ showcase Some of Lana Del Rey’s Talent for Evocation, but the Rest of the Album is as Bad as those Songs are Pretty Good. The over All Effect is Mainstream Pop Crap, inDistinguishable from what is being put out by the More Established Singers of the Rotating Door. Lana Del Rey fell for the Popularity Trap, put her Trust in (unDoubtably Male) Producers who said they could make her a Star (just like she suggested she would in LG aka LDR!) and lost (just like she suggested she would in LG aka LDR!) : the Self Awareness that made LG aka LDR so Fucking Good gets smothered on Most of the Tracks, to be replaced by Cheesy, Faddish References to Consumerism. There is Still Hope, though : Lana Del Rey could pull back from her Fame, she could write her Whole Nxt Album her Self, and we could have a More Talented Artist. Here's to Hope, eh?

INDIE

White Lady Represent : Grimes

Music Industry Ranking : Profitable

Not Every Music Fan falls for the Slick Glamour or Vapid Content of the Illuminati Puppet, the Rotating Door, or the Crossover. Many are put off by their Obviously being controlled by Record Labels. This is why there are Indie Stars. The Indie Star writes her Own Music and does not have Access to the Commercial Resources of the Illuminati Puppet, the Rotating Door, or the Crossover, and, for this Reason, her Work is More Authentic : she is involved in Every Level of Musical Production and her Music and Videos reflect her Personal Sensibilities, rather than the Sensibilities of InterNational Corporations. The Indie Artist is, how Ever, still tied to the Machine of Capitalism that controls the Music Industry. Indie Music is defined by a Certain Flatness of Tone and Subject Matter; Indie Artists are promoted by Record Labels over Accpetable UnUsuals and OutSider Geniuses because their Music is inOffensive, and therefore, Easy to market. Indie Music promotes Political Complacency. Indie Musicians are Notable for how non-Threatening they are. In Indie Music, the Predominating Feminine ArcheType is the “Gamine,” the Soft, Wistful, Fragile, aSxual, Romantic Singer Song Writer. The Gamine Indie Starlet’s Music concerns its Self Primarily with Romance, the Emotions, and the Day to Day. If her Work does showcase a Politiks, these are Liberal or Socialist and Sentimental. Indie Artists are profiled in Publications Such as Exclaim, Spin, and Pitchfork, who write Virtually Identical Sounding Articles about these Virtually Identical Sounding Artists. There is an Element of the Rotating Door to Indie Stardom, but with Less Consumer Pomp and More Educated Snobbery, and the Popular Musical Sounds change More Frequently, Often with a Change in Sound Every Decade or so, as Opposed to the Consistent Bubble Gum Flavor of the Rotating Door of Pop Stardom.

ACCEPTABLE UNUSUAL

White Lady Represent : Yo-Landi Vi$$er

Industry Rank : Potentially Profitable

Accpetable UnUsual Artists are Xcatly that : Original Artists who, for Reasons of Charisma, Creativity, Intelligence, and Musical Talent find Wide Audiences and are promoted by Record Labels. Acceptable UnUsuals tend to stand out for their Visceral Talents and, for this Reason, though Many Never make it above the Local Level (a Characteristic of Acceptable UnUsual Music is its grounding in a Geographical Region, a Quality of Authenticity Absent from Both Pop and Indie Rock), they can be Highly Successful and have the Greatest Degree of UpWard Mobility in the Chain of Authenticity. Like Crossovers, how Ever, (which Many of them become) they are at a Pronounced Risk of Selling out, which, if no Thing Else, makes waiting for their Nxt Album More Xciting. Yo-Landi Vi$$er, of the South African Hip Hop Collective, Die Antwoord, is Characteristic of the Acceptable UnUsual Artist. Her Talent as a Singer / Rapper is Notable, as is her Stage Presence. Yo-Landi Vi$$er, in Partnership with Ninja as Part of Die Antwoord, establishes her Self as beyond the Earlier Lady Singer Models, the Pop Star and the Indie Star. There is a Dynamic Equality between Yo-Landi and Ninja that is Absent in the Over the Top, unObtainable Pop Stars and the Wistfully Romantic to aSxual Indie Gamines. Despite having a Child with her co Rapper (the Reasoning behind Many a Sell Out), in Songs, Yo Landi swears, utters Political Opinions, speaks Numerous Languages and is Sxually Xplicit while remaining unAbashedly Feminine in her Vocalizations, Depictions, and Opinions. There is an Aspect of the “Character” and the "Epic" to Acceptable unUsual Artists – they stand out for being Unique and Intense. While Some, in the End, compromise their Artistic Visions for the Masses, in Many, their unWillingness to comprise their Unique Artistic Visions drives them back into Obscurity after Briefly flourishing in the Mainstream. Yet Others remain Successful, Record Label-backed Artists their Whole Careers. (Yo-Landi Vi$$er, Sell out Status : Seems Authentic – via the Release of ‘I Fink U Freeky’ from 2^nd Album Ten$ion)

OUTSIDER GENIUS

White Lady Represent : Kathleen Yearwood

Industry Rank : Not Profitable

Finally, we have the OutSider Genius. The Outsider Genius is an Artist who’s Vision and Talent is so Pure, so Deep, the Chance of her being taken up by a Major Record Label is Slight. Many are Reclusive and Actively avoid Association with Mainstream Culture. They play Small Venues and self-produce CDs or Only post their Music on the InterNet. Often, their Work is More Popular in Foreign Countries than in their Home Country. Some are Only appreciated postHumously. Often, OutSider Geniuses live Lives of Material Poverty. Their Songs are Rich in Pain and Transcendence, and as of Such, they are Difficult for Some People to listen to. Kathleen Yearwood, of Alberta, is One Such Artist. I had the Pleasure of meeting her and hearing her play thanks to a Fellow OutSider Musician, my Partner, jody franklin. I would describe her Sound as Searing, or Harrowing. It is an Emotional and Psychic Cleansing. The Subject Matter, Such as the Loss of a Brother, is Profound and Personal in a Way that is not found in Any of the Other Categories of Music I have described here. Often, OutSider Geniuses do not seek Attention, Often, they avoid it, but, in their Art, they command it. Their Works are glimpses into Other Dimensions, the Purity and Skill of their Craft Instantly conveying Vast Landscapes or Spectacular Moments of the Spirit. They reveal the World as it is, in All its Majik and Volatility. OutSider Art is Sublime. It cannot be contained.

Signature Question : Why don't More People know about her?

Obviously, these Classifications are Diffuse. An Artist can be Some where between an Illuminati Puppet and a Rotating Door, like Beyoncé, or between an Acceptable unUsual and an OutSider Genius, like Loreena McKinnet. The Illuminati Puppet draws on the Captivating Qualities of the OutSider Genius in creating Music about going to the Club. The Crossover Star is plucked from the Vast Pool of Indie and Acceptable UnUsual Acts. You get the Picture, Right?

A Response to Fun Yeah Philosophy’s Article

“Why Andrea Coates Doesn’t 'Get It,'”

a Review of

“Throw the Tao Lin.”

Actually, I do 'get it.' And here’s the Proof, yo.

Argument 1

Dichotomy

F Y P says my Dichotomies - Literary vs. Commercial Fiction, Epic vs. Intense Fiction - are Trite.

This Accusation indicates a Flawed Reading of my Work, as the Relevant Sections of the Essay contain the Phrases:

1) “Obviously, Books can be More or Less Literary vs. More or Less Commercial.”

2) “Most of the Greats have a Mixture of Both these Qualities but fall More to One Side than to the Other, for the Sake of Argument.”

I understand the Subjective Nature of my Classifications, F Y P. That they represent Poles on a Spectrum, with Most Literary Work falling Some where in between. The Quoted Phrases show I intended the Dichotomies (Literary vs. Commercial / Epic vs. Intense) to be Simplifications for the Sake of Argument, not Rigid Standards.

F Y P makes the Point that One can, inDeed, write a Literary Book about a Clueless Protagonist, and I’ll have to give it that One. You can. I think, how Ever, it would require an Xceptionally Talented Author (Bret Easton Ellis with Clueless Clay, for Xample) to pull it off without boring / annoying me, as Some One who reads for ProFunDity of inSight Primarily.

Perhaps Some of F Y P’s Problems with my Literary Classifications come from the Fact that, as is Common in Philosophy, I have defined the Word “Literary” Differently than it is used in All Cases by All People at All Times, but, just as I made Note of the Looseness of my Arguments in those Arguments, I gave my Working Definition of Literature in "Throw the Tao Lin":

“a Book’s ‘Literary’ness can be said to be Correspondent to its 'ProFunDity' of inSight into the World we live in.”

"Literature," then, is written to be ProFound, whereas "Commercial" Writing is written to entertain / make Money.

Argument 2

Authenticity

I have no Problem with Any One pegging me as a Hipster based on “Throw the Tao Lin” - if that is what they feel I am - which is to say that, though, in the Article, I criticize Many Hipsters for their Consumerism / Sheep-like Habits, I do not intend to define my Self as Other than them Xcept in these Aspects. A Hipster, in my Mind, is a Young Person who works Hard at being up to Date on Cultural Trends, and, Likely, I am this Person. I believe my Work is More Authentic than Tao Lin’s because the Structure and Content of the Essay relies Less on Popular Trends and More on what I Personally think is Cool (is being an Anarkist "Hip" these Days? is being into Classical Literature? is being a Pagan?).

While Tao Lin creates Writing that Overtly intends to appeal to a Certain Demographic (21st Century Hipsters) and therefore mimics its Attributes and Interests, I am writing for and about my Self with All my Personal Dreams and Influences displayed as I xperience them without Regard for Other People's agreeing with / also being into those Things. This is what I hope to show in my Work: not, like Tao Lin, my Generation's Common Denominators, but my Self as it is aLone and as it is influenced by the Generation, because without a Sense of how the Other has influenced you, can you have an Authentic Sense of Self? For me, that the Generation may find Some Thing Universal in my Self Xploration and Xpression is Incidental to the Act of xploring and xpressing, but I think that for Tao Lin, it's the Other Way around: he Only xpresses and xplores what he imagines is Universal, and for this Reason, his Work lacks the Unique.

In being True to my Personal Tastes Regardless of their Popularity, "Throw the Tao Lin" transcends the Boundaries of a Any Particular Cultural Identity besides my Self, which is a Composite of Many Identities, Millennial being One, Anarkist being an Other, Self Glorifying Author being an Other.

My Essay, unLike Tao Lin’s Novels, because of it is Chaotic Style, inspired by Anarkism, in Contrast to his Controlled and Conservative Style, inspired by Capitalism, will find an Audience beyond the Hipsters who will unDoubtably relate to it because it is not concerned with whether or not they relate to it 100%, making it, in its Fundamental Disregard for what is Cool or not Cool in its Honesty, a More Authentic Work of Art than Tao Lin's Novels, which are Overtly Concerned with ascribing to / creating what is Cool or not Cool for the Hipsters as an Imaginary Unit.

Tao Lin defines Hipsterdom and therefore is limited to it.

I am not "Anti Hipster" and, therefore, More of a Hipster because being against Hipsters is Hip - I am beyond Hipster and, therefore, able to swallow the Identity Whole without being consumed by it.

Argument 3

Hypocrisy

F Y P's Argument that I am Hypocritical is Faulty in that it states, “she barrades tao lin for his supposed manipulation of the internet public while at the same time using this as a jumping off point for her manic declaration of herself as the one whom the hipster drones should be paying more attention to.”

Did I berate Tao Lin for his Manipulation of the InterNet Public?

I don’t believe I did.

What I did say was:

“What I liked about you, Tao Lin, back in those Brooklyn Days, was Xactly what Many People didn't, and still don't, like about you: that you act, in your OnLine Persona, like a Multi Media Pop Star when you are a Writer, and a Relatively unKnown One at that.”

Tao Lin’s Manipulation of the InetNet Public is my Favorite Thing about him! It’s the Only Thing about him I would bother copying, and so I did. What I Really berate Tao Lin for, throughout my Essay, is

a) commodifying Literatue: turning Each Phrase into a Branded Sound Bite, and, thereby, erasing the Work’s Depth, and

b) not that he advertises, but that his Advertisements aren’t Accurate Representations of his Literary Talent: in his Advertisements, Tao Lin suggests he is One of the Greatest Writers of the Generation, but in "Throw the Tao Lin," I argue his Work is not ProFound Enough to warrant the Label, despite Either its Popularity or "Generational" Content. By writing the Most inDepth, Over the Top Literary Review on the InterNet, I attempted to prove that my Self Advertisements, on the Other Hand, are Accurate in their Representation of the Quality of my Work.

Also in the "Hypocrisy" Argument by F Y P:

Blatant Sxism!

“bad publicity may still be publicity (#marie calloway’s sex scam/gabbygabby’s nudity) but the flare falls away without something consistent behind it.”

The Offensive, Sx based Shaming of this Statement aside, I believe I have that Consistency, and have proved it with this Response, as Well as within “Throw the Tao Lin.” I think it’s Truer that F Y P Only skimmed my Article, missing Many of the Finer Points, than that "Throw the Tao Lin" suffers the Flaws described in "Why Andrea Coates Doesn't 'Get It'."

Peace & Love

= + + Whas dhis Anarky Shit, Man? + + =

I’m an Anarkist. I have been for a Long Time, though whether I have called my Self that has waxed and waned over the Years. I think I am an Anarkist until the End. I want to write a Book of Philosophy called On Anarky. I will write it when I am Old, when I have Lots of Life Xperience.

I think the Whole World is Anarkistic. I think Capitalism is a Form of Order imposed on Anarky.

To me, Anarkism is Primal: it is Self Government as arises out of the Kore of Being.

Anarky is Personal.

Anarkism, to me, is about being like, this is what I am doing, if you would like to join me, you are Free to, Other wise, we will let Each Other be.

If Some One tries to fight me on my Principals, I will Fight. For the Most Part, I avoid Confrontation, but there are Some Fights that need picking. These are Fights for FreeDom. I want to live in Peace as Much as Possible but if Bitches want to come around and try to force me to do Other than I want to do, and for Reasons that are no Good, they will see the Full Force of my Will.

Anarkism is Animalistic.

Some Times I think I am an Anarkist because the Word begins in ‘An’ like my Name. This too is Anarkistic : it is Free Form, there are no Stringent Limits or Structures to Thoughts, Ideas or Organizations, and Much is based on Intuition. Anarkism can be Rational, but it is also More than Rational : it is Mystical, it is Rhizomatic, it is Radikal, it is alWays Liable to change. This is what distinguishes Anarky from the Other Politikal Ideologies : the Other Politikal Ideologies, Such as Communism, Democracy and Dictatorship, create a Model under which they organize Society, whether that be in Workers Collectives, Voting Contingents or the Will of One Man. Anarky has no Such Model. It is understood that Individuals are Free to organize their interActions with Other People as they see Fit. This does not mean that Anarky is Apathetic or Isolationist, Rather, that it is inFinitely Adaptable, like a Living Organism.

In my Case, my Anarkistic Desires are to live on a Communal, Pagan, PolyAmorous FarmStead. So this is what I will do. If you want to live in a City, or in a subUrb, this is Fine in so Far as it is Sustainable. The Limits of Anarky are the Limits of Endurance. People are Free to do as they Please in so Far as it does not cause Pain or disruption for Others. When American Oil Needs create Trauma for the Afghani People, the Afghani People are Righteous in their Retaliation. You Poke the Animal, you get to see what happens Nxt. Same goes if you try to steal from the Animal what it thinks belongs to it, whether it does, or not.

Anarky is about letting go of Control over Any Thing but the Self, and even then, to realize that the " Self " is in Flux and the Origin of this Flux is inFinite (to me, Anarkism is a Religious Politiks). Any Time we try to control, we run the Risk of becoming Tyrants.

Anarky, as the Politiks of Personal Freedom, is antiThetical to Tyrany in Any Form, and this is why you see " Anarky " tied to Any upRising of People, Such as the Comtemporary Greek and Egyptian Riots, the Occupy Movement and the Black Bloc. One cannot be an Anarkistic Dictator, because an Anarkist, on Principal, avoids taking control over the Lives of Others. I have met a Lot of Hypocritical People who call their Selves Anarkists but are Controlling in their Behavior and Rigid in their Ideology.



An Anarkist does not need to control because they can contribute

This is All I have to say on this Matter for now, but I think I will come back to it, Possibly as a Running Series of Anarkist Meditations.

That I should not make the Errors of my Xes and Never attempt to hold you back or control you.

Who am I in the Minds of Others? Is it Possible to see Any Thing Good in a Creature as Vain as I?

I am Afraid that I am looking for Compliments when I know I am trying to press press press press until you are forced to respond. I imagine you are Either Busy or processing your Thoughts, though I am Afraid you see your Self as Superior to me.

I am driven by the Desire to display my Self in All the Glory I believe my Self Capable of before All those who have Ever dared to dismiss me.

I am a Vortex Child who xists for the Sake of destroying her Self. Please calm me down.

During of my Many Intellectual Journeys I decided that I liked you More than I liked my Self. My Awareness felt Huge and All Encompassing. Is this what’s it’s like to have Children? Is there a Meaning to Any of this? Is there Any Thing at All I can do to guarantee Reciprocation of my Emotional State? Why aren’t these Answers given to Children from the Successful Marriages of the World?

Thoughts of a Canadian Stoner Bitch - Episode One

The Trials and Tribulations of Andrea Coates' White Trash Alter Ego, "Canadian Stoner Bitch"

Episode One: What to do about my Mean Gino Boy Friend?


published by Illuminati Girl Gang

# [ [[ \ [ : Why the Nudie Porn Pics, yo? : ] / ]] ] #

I’ve been putting Naked and Pornographic Pictures of mySelf on my Blog as a Combined Personal and Social Xperiment.


For Xample,

Why does Nudity / Sxuality make People unComfortable?

In our Society we are taught to Hide Parts of our Bodies from Other People, Most Specifically Sxual Parts. We are taught that revealing these Parts of our Bodies is SomeThing to be aShamed of: that Only the Desperate ( Strippers, Escorts, People with Self-eSteem Issues, etc ) would do so on a Regular Basis with AnyOne but an Intimate Partner. This Notion is held as eSpecially True for Ladies, whose Bodies are “Objects of Lust.” A “Good Girl” is One who hides her Body, who does not evoke Lust. A “Bad Girl” is One who shows her Body off and uses the Lust it evokes for her Purposes. Not Only does this reveal a Sxist Tilt to our Culture (  Men can use their Sxuality to gain Power, but if a Lady does it, she is a Harlot; Men can go without Shirts in Public in Canada, but not Ladies; in Some Muslim Cultures, Ladies can't show Any of their Body Parts in Public; it is Ladies who have the Most to gain by taking off their Clothes, but, Equally, it is Ladies who are Most shamed for doing so, etc ), it also reveals a proFound Cultural unEasiness with the Body itsSelf: eSpecially that Body which makes More Bodies: the Feminine Body.

Hatred of the Body, to me, is Hatred of the Self, on the inDividual and Social Levels. To feel aShamed of the Body in its Naturalness and aShamed of those Bodies which incite us to make More Bodies is to feel aShamed of the Self in its Deepest Naturalness. This Shame can be traced back to the Biblical Era and Probably further: it is made Clear in Genesis: Adam and Eve become aware of their Nakedness and are aShamed of it. Why? Before whom are they aShamed? Before God, who made them the Way they are? Why would God make People in Such a Way that they would have to feel aShamed of their Genitals? Because he wants to punish them? The Sadism of Genesis reveals the Txt as a Manipulation: a Person who is aShamed of themSelves is a Person who is Easy to push around, and push Adam and Eve around God does, and for his Own Ego's Sake. The God of Christianity is the God of Tyranny. Tyranny over anOther begins by shaming the Other, eSpecially about their Most Sensitive Parts. The God of Genesis is a Bully who would like to see his Creations Obedient: when they are not, he punishes them with the Deepest of Shames. Shame in where they come from, Shame in what they are, Shame in how they make More of themSelves. The Shame goes as Deep as it can go. In taking Genesis Seriously as a Creation Myth, a Person is made to feel aShamed of the Very Fact of their being born. This is why Nietzsche wrote that Christianity as a Religion is antiThetical to EveryThing that fosters a Strong Sense of Self. 

Challenging mySelf to appear Nude on the InterNet is a Way to overcome my Own Shame, and thereby, to help Other People overcome theirs

There is no Value to the Self in being aShamed of the Body. There is Only a Benefit to those who would keep you down, locked in Shame, that it might make them feel Bigger by Comparison.

A Society that is aShamed of Sxuality is a Society that mistreats Sxuality

In Judeo Christian and Muslim Societies for Xample, Shame as Regards Sxuality is Common. So in the News we are Witness to Such Events as this: a Lady being kept, on "Religious Grounds" out of a disCussion on Birth Control, and the Killing of Three Rebellious Young Girls and their inFertile StepMother by their Father, Mother and Brother in an so-Called "Honour" Killing.

My Choosing to appear Nude and in Sxually Graphic Positions on my WebSite is my Way of combating “Sx as Shame” Belief Systems, which impact Ladies More Stringently than Men, as the Previous Xamples indicate. Ladies' Bodies are the More Obviously Sxual and so they become the Repository of Sxual Shame. In appearing Naked on my WebSite, I am saying, “Yeah, I'm Naked. So the Fuck what?” I am forcing People to confront their Own Notions about what is Appropriate vs. inAppropriate in Terms of Xpressions of the Body and of Sxuality. Specifically, in Xpressions of the Feminine Body and Sxuality.

Do you think I ought to be aShamed of mySelf? Do you think I am Only appearing Naked to get the Attention from Male Readers? What does this say about your Conception of Sxuality, and of Ladies' Sxuality in Particular?

A Girl appearing Naked on her Literary Blog is a Relevant Cultural Statement

A Naked Body is seen as Deliberately Sxual / Attention-Grabbing in our Culture because we are so Rarely witness to it as AnyThing Other than a Means to sell Products through associating those Products with Sx, even when the Product being sold is the Self. What would Otherwise have been an Aesthetic Choice / Personal Liberty is made to look like a Seedy, underHanded Grab for the Wrong Kind of Attention, Artistic Work surrounding Nudity Less Valuable as Art, eSpecially when it is an Attractive Young Lady making that Art. To challenge this Negative Stereotype, I add Blatantly Sxualized Imagery to my Serious, intelLectual, and Morally inSightful Literary and Cultural Criticism. The Physical Nudity is meant to reinforce the intelLectual Honesty I am attempting in my Work. I offer my Naked Thoughts, so I offer my Naked Body, as they are One and the Same: the Thoughts come from the Body, the Body from the Thoughts. I am revealing an Attempt at Honesty and Self-Confidence, as Well as my Authentic Character ( Highly Sxual ) More than that I would like People to come to my Site because I am Naked on it. Still, if People come to my Site to look at my Naked Pictures ( they do, a Lot of them ), and while they are here they read One of my Essays about Feminism, isn't that making the World a Better Place?

Would I have chosen to appear Nude on my WebSite if I were Male / I did not fit the Contemporary Mold of "Feminine Beauty" - White, Slender, Young, cis, Able-Bodied, etc?

I would like to think that I would, but I have Never Xperienced Life as a Male, a TransPerson, or a Lady that People did not consider Conventionally “Beautiful.”

I would like to think that if I had a Male or Trans Body, I would put Xplicit Pictures on my Blog. The Message of my Choice is that it should be Okay to be Naked no Matter who you are. The Fact that it is not is the Result of Hundreds of Years of Social Conditioning that I think was meant to make People Weak and Easily Herded ( I recommend The Genealogy of Morals by Nietzsche for a Full Denouement on this Complx Psychological Subject ). I am not Weak. I am not Easily Herded. I fight Forces which would make me that Way. For Any Gender, Any Body-Type, a Push by Society to limit Self-Xpression is an Attempt to Limit that Body as an Individual Consciousness. I see no Reason not to appear Nude on my WebSite. Being called a "Whore" or an "Attention-Seeker" is not SomeThing I am aFraid of. Most Often, People calling me Names is a reAction based in Fear of me. I am Very Powerful.

Part of my Desire to appear Naked on my Blog has to do with being considered a "Beautiful" Lady. I have Never been considered "unAttractive," but I can understand how considering yourSelf "unAttractive" creates Neurosis. Ladies eSpecially are overvalued for their "Beauty." True Beauty is Self-Confidence, Self-Confidence an Absence of Shame. If, as a Beautiful Girl, I was aShamed of my Beauty, or talked it down, or felt the Need to hide it, I would lose this Beauty. If I had been born what Society considered "unAttractive," and, as a Consequence, hid my Body, I would be falling Victim to the Same Trap. I believe in Diversity. I was born with a Body that Cosmopolitan Magazine thinks is Hot, but Cosmopolitan Magazine can go fuck itsSelf. What is Beautiful to me is Self Possession, Originality and Confidence. All of which go Hand in Hand. A Person with these Qualities would be Proud of their Nudity, I imagine, Regardless of Society's "Beauty" Standards. I would like to see "Beauty Standards" disappear. Many of toDay’s "Beauty Standards" have, at their Root, the Same Drive to Population Manipulation through Shame as the Biblical Stories. 

UnDoubtably it is Easier for me, as what Society considers a “Beautiful” Girl, to go Naked on the InterNet, but I think, in acknowledging this and making my Efforts about More than this, I am taking the the Steps I can, from the Position I am in, to right a Social Wrong.

Self-Objectification as Power

I am aWare that growing up immersed in a Culture that promotes Self-Objectification of Bodies that resemble mine ( Thin, Young, White, cis-Female ) as a Means of Power Attainment for those Bodies inspired me to begin Self-objectifying as a Means of attaining Power. My Culture taught me that, as a Lady who looks like I do, if I wanted Power, the Thing to do was Self-objectify – offer my Body for Consumption in Return for Gifts within the Patriarchal Attention Economy. I have not rejected this Premise. What I have rejected is Three-Fold: 1 ) that Self-Objectification is the Only Means by which it is Acceptable for a Lady as a Lady to achieve Power, 2 ) that Self-Objectification invalidates Any Intellectual Point being made by the Lady Self-Objectifying ( “As a Lady, you are either a Hot Body or an Ugly Brain. There is no in between” ) and 3 ) that Self-Objectification cannot serve as a Tool in dismantling Patriarchy.

These Three Premises are rejected in my Art through the Juxtaposition of Self-Objectifying Imagery with Strong Feminist Philosophical Messages. What this Juxtaposition aims to communicate is that “a Feminist World is a Sxier World than a Patriarchal World.” Under Patriarchy, the Feminine Body is held up as Desirable Only so Long as it conforms to Patriarchal Beauty Standards, while the Feminine Intellect is dismissed as Worthless. Should a Lady display Intellect, she is portrayed as “not Feminine and not Sxe.” Under Feminism, the Full Range of Feminine Body Types and Feminine Intellects are celebrated in their Diversity and inteGrities. 

Self-Objectifying Imagery and Stories aLone do not comprise a Threat to the Patriarchy. It is a Trick which has Young Ladies convinced Self-Objectification = emPowerment. This is Truest, Perhaps, in the Case of Ladies whose Bodies do not fit Patriarchal Beauty Standards. Simply to Self-objectify when the Status Quo has deemed you unWorthy of Sxual Attention is a Challenge to the System of Bodily oppression. Still, Young Ladies who Self-objectify within the Arts but do not pose a Threat to the Patriarchy either through their Philosophies or through their Body Types are held up by the Patriarchy as Feminine Role Models in Order to encourage Young Ladies who fit these Body Types to seek emPowerment through Self-Objectification. Two Xamples include, in Music, Lana Del Rey, and in Literature, Marie Calloway. Both Lana Del Rey and Marie Calloway can be called “Feminist” because their Work xplores the Feminine Realm of Xperience. The underLying Message of Both Young Ladies’ Art, however, is that emPowerment is to be sought, by Young Ladies, through submissive Self-Objectification. Lana Del Rey may be a Careerist, but her Songs are allmost Universally about seeking Validation and Life Xperience through a Man who finds her Body Sxually Attractive. Marie Calloway may have commented that Some Men find her Ugly, and may promote the Creation of Art as a Means to subvert Patriarchy, but her Short Stories and Collages and the Means she has gone about achieving a Career suggest that seeking Validation and Life-Xperience through Men who find you, as a Lady, Sxually Attractive is the Most Effective Way to become a Celebrated Lady Writer. It is not the Self-Objectification these Young Ladies engage in that is their Short-Fall as Feminist Role Models, but the underLying Messages of their Art, which offer Little, Philosophically, beyond Self-Objectification as a Means of Power Attainment under Patriarchy. Which is to say that this Art is, in Fact, supporting a Power Structure which views the Power of Ladies as ending at the Men with whom they associate. “A Lady is Only as Powerful as the Man she is Self-objectifying for.”

My Xperiment !~OPERATION FUN~! is intended as a subVersion of the “Feminine Self-Objectification as Power under Patriarchy which does not threaten Patriarchy” Trope. It intends to show that Self-Objectification can be used as a Tool in dismantling Patriarchy. !~OPERATION FUN~! was inspired by Marie Calloway’s Adrian Brody, the Story of “Marie Calloway’s” Seduction of New Inquiry Editor Rob Horning – who is called “Adrian Brody” in the Story – which catapulted her to Literary Fame. Adrian Brody is Blandly written and Most Likely would not have achieved reCognition were it not for the Fact that a Young Lady Author calling herSelf “Marie Calloway” did indeed have Sx with New Inquiry Editor Rob Horning, who, unlike Marie Calloway at the Time, had Some Fame in NYC Literary Circles. Much of the Debate around Adrian Brody was concerned with whether or not the Story was “Feminist” – in that a Young Lady xploited Rob Horning for Fame ( her Advantage, his emBarrassment ) – or was “not Feminist” – in that the Story had Little Artistic Value outside of its Voyeuristic Aspects – the Only Reason People were talking about “Marie Calloway” was because of her Willingness, as an Attractive Young Lady, to Self-objectify in her Art. I think Both of these Points are True. Marie Calloway did manage to xploit Rob Horning in a Way that was to her Advantage and his emBarrassment, but, the Story also had Little Artistic Value beyond its Voyeuristic Aspects, which were predicated on the Self-objectification of a Young Lady. I felt that the Story was, in the End, was not Very emPowering to Young Ladies because, due to its Lack of Artistic Merit beyond its Voyeuristic Aspects, it encouraged Young Ladies to seek Fame in their Arts not through Technical Prowess but through offering Sxual Favours to Men in Positions of Power and then offering these Sxual Favours up to the Public to be enjoyed Vicariously. “A Lady is Only as Powerful as the Man she is Self-objectifying for.”

The Compelling Conflicts inherent in the Story Adrian Brody as a Thing that happened, which compensated for its Lack of Literary Technical Prowess ( what I Usually read for ), inspired me to create the emPowering Feminist Story Adrian Brody was not. Is it Possible, I wondered, to write a Story about a Young Lady who trades Sx with an Older Male in a Position of Power that works towards the Aims of freeing Young Ladies from their Position as the Perennial Sx Object? A Difficult Riddle to solve! I wanted to write this Story because I believe in Self-Objectification as a Tool of Self-emPowerment. What I would like to see is not the End of Self-Objectification by Ladies, but the Equalization of Power Dynamics in Sxual Role Playing between Men and Ladies. Which is to say that I wanted to write a Story in which Man and Lady were Equally Sxual Subject and Object and in which the Lady’s Self-Objectification served the Purpose of liberating her from Patriarchal Standards of Conduct. This would set it apart from Adrian Brody, which reinforced Patriarchal Standards of Conduct by implying that “a Lady is Only as Powerful as the Man she is Self-objectifying for.” Though Both Stories would centre around a Young Lady seeking Fame through offering Sxual Favours to a Powerful Man ( a Common enough Occurrence under Patriarchy ) the Message of my Story would be, “Because we live in a Patriarchy, a Talented Young Lady felt she had to associate herSelf with a Powerful Man in order to be taken Seriously; however, her Power goes above and beyond the Man she has chosen to associate with, and, once she associates with him, her Power, which Others had dismissed due to Patriarchal Bias, is Evident.” 
The Result was !~OPERATION FUN~!. 
In !~OPERATION FUN~!, a Young Lady named “Andrea Coates” decides she will seduce a Powerful Man named “Shane Smith” whose Media Company, VICE, is Guilty of publishing Young Ladies whose Careers were made on their Pubic Sxual Relationships with allready Established Male Writers, that is to say Girls whose Careers were made on their being the Sx Objects of Male Writers who were established on their Literary Talents aLone. Andrea Coates’ Logic is that if Shane Smith is willing to pay these Girls to write because their Fames, acquired via their Sxual Relationships ( their being Sxually objectified ), bring More Readers to his Magazine, he is condoning the Seeking of Power, inFluence and Jobs by Young Ladies through their Seduction of Well-Placed Men ( he is encouraging Ladies Self-objectify for Fame ), which leaves him Vulnerable to being seduced himSelf. But, because Andrea Coates’ Purpose in seducing Shane Smith is not just Power and inFluence and a Job, but to draw Attention to the Patriarchal Bias in Media ( which is a Bias in who is Sxually objectified ), which she hopes to remedy, she will not have Sx with Shane Smith unless he agrees to apologize, Publicly, for this Company’s Complicity in Gender-Biased Sxual Objectification.

Andrea Coates seeks to make Shane Smith fall in Love with her by displaying not Only her Youthful, Conventionally-Attractive Body ( by Self-objectifying ), but also her Skills as an Author and Media-Producer ( displaying her Complx Reality as Subject ). This is an imPortant Diversion from Adrian Brody because while that Story is told from a Feminine Subjective Perspective, it does not so Much highlight Marie Calloway’s Efforts to prove to Adrian Brody her Complx Subjectivity, but her Willingness to objectify herSelf to flatter his Subjective Ego. While Both Adrian Brody and !~OPERATION FUN~! make “the Man” the Sxual Object of a Feminine Subject, Adrian Brody focuses on Marie Calloway’s submission to Adrian Brody during their Sxual enCounter, her Willingness to be “the Admiring Young Lady” for him, her Willingness to let him cum on her Face, etc, re-establishing her as the Primary Object. !~OPERATION FUN~!, meanwhile, focuses on Andrea Coates’ Desire to Sxually and Intellectually dominate Shane Smith, to Publically shame him for his Errors of the Past, to sxualize him on the Basis of his Worldly Success, to have him publish More Sxually-Objectifying Images of Men in his Magazine, and to have him live in Open PolyAmory. So, even though Andrea Coates is the One Naked in All of the Photographs in !~OPERATION FUN~!, Shane Smith is Constantly being reminded of his Position as the Object of Andrea Coates’ Lust – she wants him to know what it feels like to be objectified in the Media. !~OPERATION FUN~! establishes “Andrea Coates’” Moral and Intellectual Superiority over “Shane Smith,” which not Only Firmly defines her as Subject, but means she will Sxually dominate Shane Smith, no matter his Material and Physical Power over her, as the metaPhysical directs the Physical. In Return for her Moral and intelLectual Gifts, Shane Smith is to award Andrea Coates Sx and Access to his Media Empire, equalizing their Power. And while Adrian Brody ends with Both Characters looking Morally-Suspect ( Marie Calloway needs a Man to make her Career / Adrian Brody cheats on his GirlFriend with a Younger Lady because she flatters his Professional Ego ), Andrea Coates and Shane Smith are Morally redeemed of their Actions by the Apology for and commitment to address the Sxist Bias at VICE Media, Andrea Coates’ Body Merely being a Bribe to get Shane Smith to make this Apology and Commitment. Finally, for its Unique Literary Style and Philosophical Depth, !~OPERATION FUN~! has Value as a Work of Art outside of whether or not Andrea Coates and Shane Smith ever have Sx. Adrian Brody, however, outside of its Value, based in the Actuality of the Sx described, as Gossip, is not Very Well-written or Philosophically proFound.

This was Simply an Xample of how Self-Objectification is a Tool that can be used either to reinforce the Patriarchy or to challenge it.

Porn

I make Porn because, as a Young Girl trolling the InterNet for Arousing Material, I have been Sorely disappointed. Allmost All Pornography on the Net is shot from a Male Perspective for Male Consumption; Much Pornography “for Girls” is Boring. Some say Ladies just “don't want Porn,” but I think it is Truer that Hardly AnyOne makes Porn we would want to watch. You know what they say about wanting to do Things Right. :) My Plan is, within the Nxt Few Years, to release PornoGraphic Films under the Label PulPit PornArt. My First Porn Film will be called Alt Lit Porn and it will be about Writers living in a House having Sx and talking about Literature. Andrea Coates Writing JUNK will keep you upDated.

Until then
