Secret Muse Update

[porphyry]

My wife has just updated her site:

http://classic-erotic-art.tripod.com/


There are about a thousand new images in the archives, and, for the first time, a few video clips.

Artist's whose work is featured include Albert Arthur Allen, von Bayros, and many others, including a new archive devoted to contemporary erotic photography. The site also contains the largest collection Ziegfeld images availalbe on the web and a special archive dedicated to the recreation of the sexual decadence commonly associated with Classical Antiquity through photography, esepcially of the era 1880-1914.

This is indeed a phenomenal archive - thank you for pulling it together and making it available online.

Do you mind if I "friend" you? Your site has some interesting things and I would like to read it regularly. (I also notice you made some comments back in April on Voyage to Arcturus, a book I like very much and very few have heard of.)

Go right ahead, though it looks like in that particualr post I didn't make the necessary pronoun changes after copyinging it from my wife's journal to indicate that it is her web-site.

When I posted that stuff about Arcturus on a few appropriate discussion groups, the only comments I got was to put put it behind a cut.

I guess Voyage to Arcturus is so obscure that most haven't heard of it. I wouldn't have read it had it not been mentioned by CS Lewis in his introduction to The Screwtape Letters as an inspiration for his devils "absorbing" their victims.

Someone like Hayao Miyazaki needs to animate Voyage - that might be really wild to see.
