You go get Busy Bee.

As my copy of Best in Show is currently out on loan it was a welcoming surprise to see it scheduled on MTV3 Sunday 12th Feb at 20.05, for those of us in Finland. Possibly one of the funniest films ever made so run to the video store and rent it. Don't look at the fat ass losers or freaks, look at me!

Highly Recommended.

Muscle maryas

Russian archivists recently discovered a huge archive of homoerotic photographs documenting the early years of that country’s proto-gay culture. Dating back to 1860 and containing nearly a half million images, the St. Petersburg Archive includes material created by pioneering photographer Karl Bulla, “the first to record the discreet gay culture to which tsarist Russia turned a blind eye” according to the Guardian this week. (Unfortunately like so many artists, he later vanished in the Stalinist purges.) Almost makes us wish there was such a thing as a time machine after all …-RM
