Some of you intellectual types, who enjoy black velvet paintings of Polynesian women, film noir, and representations of Pacific Women might enjoy the following article, titled 'Darkness and Light: Dusky Maidens and Velvet Dreams' The 20 page article is from the journal Camera Obscura (subtitle: Feminism, Culture, and Media Studies) and features Sima Urale's 1997 'mockumentary' film 'Velvet Dreams'. A lengthy summary of the film is included in the article. If you aren't the intellectual type, you might still enjoy the 4 black and white representations of nude velvet paintings included in the article http://cameraobscura.dukejournals.org/cgi/reprint/20/1_58/185.pdf Vern |
