I never tried those tunes,....talk to ya soon

Nothing like music when you want to "Hook-up"; just a few from the German speaking: Bach,Brahms,Beethoven,Schubert,Haydn,Mozart,Strauss.They were the absolute rock stars of their time. Well Mark, consequences is my "off-center" point. Cybersex addiction has special challenges with ease of access. The Center for Online Addiction reports employees are filing wrongful termination lawsuits under the Americans with Disabilities Act, looking towards ADA coverage of Internet addiction as a disability.

Hey Al,....I don't know if people are "satisfied" with a virtual world, but it might be useful to examine the consequences of such behavior. And what I mean is how does the tendency of some men and women who are "connected at the hip" to their computers, video games, blackberries,..etc.; how does that tendency affect their emotional lives?
Also,...the Germans as romantic??? Har, Har, Har,...

Hard to believe in our materialist society,one would really be satisfied with a virtual,digitized world,physically disconnected.Postmodern often works"off-center",where neither the world,nor the self, possesses coherence. In response to the French Revolution and emphasis on science and reason,the German Romantic movement re-elevated the individual's intuition.Chivalry/courteous-behavior will rally again.How bout next time we effectively"center"our "sexual energies" in a truly intimate proximity?

It's to reflect the collision of fairy tale romanticism with postmodern views of love and relationships :-)

john, why is her teddy bear a monster?

Thanks for the comments - some really good ones, as usual. The comments play an important role for our events; a couple of days ahead of each event I go through the submissions and always get some great ideas that I would not have thought of. Keep the ideas coming!

That elf-girl depicted above;..she is caught in the arms of the octopus, both her legs and one arm, as she playfully puts up a fight with an object that looks like a tuning fork. Her body is that of a woman in her prime, yet her clothing is that of a school girl,....one tentacle is reaching upwards between the legs and another one is reaching up
her shirt,....she is underwater and must be feeling a very high degree of anticipation as she must gasp for air at some point, concluding of course...

I must confess that this subject has a great many implications. There is a romantic and a sexual symbolism in the arts, media, and elsewhere that can bee seen as a projection of what the authors would like to emulate. And then there are the general turn-on's, and other forms of human behavior that excite the senses,....and then there is the desire for some to be in "costume" and play with identity,....and then there is the Marquis De sade,....ha ha ha,...and others like him....

Food for thought:

No lover, if he be of good faith, and sincere, will deny he would prefer to see his mistress dead than unfaithful.
Marquis de Sade

She had already allowed her delectable lover to pluck that flower which, so different from the rose to which it is nevertheless sometimes compared, has not the same faculty of being reborn each spring.
Marquis de Sade

Variety, multiplicity are the two most powerful vehicles of lust.
Marquis de Sade

John, I love your flyer design, it's not "weak" at all

Cinderella, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, are fairy tales of separation anxiety.Fantasy thru sex-ting or a web connection is likely to keep downtown areas"cleaner".But is this any more intimate than "old school" peep booths or underground magazine personals.One is still physically separated from the "flesh of their obsession". Fairy-tales are still written(we seem closer..but, NO touching). http://current.com/items/91712911_the-dangers-of-mass-tex... ...Isn't romanticism needed more than ever?
