I was so very excited around 2002 when I bought my first big screen television... I really was. Then I turned it on and began doing the guy thing, you know, flip through channels like a chimp with A.D.D.
It wasn't long before I discovered that all the shows were the same as my old 27 inch... what a rip off! Later around '04 I sold the house and with it went the flat screen... I never owned a tv since.
The internet by this time was in full swing and that was where most of my entertainment is stored any ways. Daily news, local, world, weather... email. Perfect. So really it's not for me to report what cool stuff I may have missed was out there... I do know this.. movies took a dive in quality for the most part and with some exceptions. 'The Secretary' was interesting in a 'Nine and a Half Weeks' kind of way. Bondage and BDSM lifestylers were more or less mainstream now even if it is not often open topics around the watercooler. Supermodels bound for pinup type expose spreads... no problem. But now a new catch phrase 'torture porn' is found in the movies like the 'Hostel' franchaise... I love bondage don't get me wrong but I still like a happy ending. Which is why the art presented here is in two parts... the first being 'Black Tie Dinner' followed by 'Black Tie Affair'....... E.
