we live in a bendy world


yes.. it's true. We live in a bendy world. Bendy trees, bendy light, bendy dildos. The last one was discovered by that famous Tgirl Alberta Einstein whilst dressed in his flapper outfit.

I was looking at some amazing pictures today of a risqué club in Weimar Germany (way way back in the 1920's). It was a club where all the girls dressed as men and all the men were dressed as girls and.. wow.. the place was packed! I was fascinated by the looks in the faces and the more I gazed at them, the more I could see a disturbing mixture of cheeky hedonism and raw fear, as though everyone had foreknowledge that a fabulous party was about to end with a fatal gunshot.

You can't help but wonder what happened to all these wonderfulwomen with their serious man suits and cigars and these lovely Tgirls with their cloche hats and maryjanes. It's not hard to imagine that the ruthlessly pragmatic ones joined the evil Nazi Party and made a career of inflicting horror and misery on other people while the fearless uncompromising ones were rounded up and thrown into death camps.

You see, history isn't very bendy. It just stomps all over us...
