<br />
Just finished translating the second edition of the 1982 book "La Movida" by Paco Martin, he was a DJ during the start of the Movida in Spain. Also known as the golden age of Spanish music- it is today considered Spain's most fruitful musical era of the last decade. It lasted between 1975-1987, and its beginning coincides with the death of their dictator. The movement has been arguably traced back to the capital city of Madrid although it was actually more of a national movement with music coming from throughout the nation. As a side note- the term "La Movida" is quit broadly used to express visual arts, film and publications of the area (the most internationally renown of those associated with this movement is Pedro Almodovar).<br />
I found out about La Movida when I was living in Spain during college and started collecting records and found some books at El Rastro in Madrid. Unfortunately there isn't much literature on the subject in English and the music (what mainly attracted me to the subject) is all in spanish- but I think it's worth sharing and unburying from the annals of recent pop history.<br />
This particular book only talks about the music made in the city of Madrid from 1977-1982 (when it was published). The organization (somewhat encyclopedic) and lack of information in general made me do a bunch of research on other aspects of the movement and I've been compiling music videos and other stuff to share.<br />

I haven't spent enough time posting about my friends' stuff- Priscilla Rodriguez, who shot my Girls in Black video made this lovely ambient film <a href="https://vimeo.com/88620790">Arctic Beach/Reverse Siberia</a> with her man Dakota using his music. I really love her style she has a special kind of patience with a camera that I deeply admire. I really like this video because it has a droning visual quality, its emotively dark yet unequivocally Southern californian. Its affective while being completely non-narrative and all of her compositions are beautiful. Uhhhh we are going to collaborate on more stuff soon. (I posted a bunch of Ed Ruscha stuff up there because I think he shares the California aesthetic but is darkly symbolic and unsettling in a way I think they share and I find aesthetically pleasing)…. </div>

Sooooo I took the liberty of photocopying and translating some of this really cool Crumbish-Kazish Peruvian comic by <a href="http://litoelperro.blogspot.com/">David Gualliquio</a> I bought while traveling in Peru- unfortunately the humor doesn't translate very well- not that it was very funny to begin with. But I really like the visual style and line quality.... It was a lot more work than it sounded like when I took on the project. but either way next time I will do it on photoshop! </div>

There should be a live action film genre in which the main tropes consist of emulating animation. Some of my favorite aspects of films (acting, cinematography, set design, mise en scene) and inevitably the way I direct actors derives from the exaggerated pantomiming of early warner brothers, disney, and hannah Barbara cartoon series. My dad had a bunch of box sets and huge vhs collections of early animation when I was a kid and we never had cable so my television education consisted of theese, ( in addition to generic mystery tv shows on pax and touched by an angel). The only thing I love more than Jim Carey is Danny Elfman in a devil costume. Everything else is a personal problem.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Aaron from Mothers of Gut and I were trying to collaborate on a series of music videos for their new album. Stuff kept happening (I was working a lot, then we got locked out of the first location we were supposed to shoot) and we ended up making huge plans (involving a lot of props, costumes, a weekend shoot in Big Bear and lots of post editing effects) and not following through with anything so I made this collage short with a bunch of old documentary clips I got from the Perlinger Archives and their song. </span>Despairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05863752426951717674noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136542488084761773.post-51085412370978197082013-11-30T17:42:00.002-08:002013-11-30T17:42:21.914-08:00Satellite <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I made this video for my High School friend Colin and his new band Terminal A a few months back. There was no plan we just went to some places where Colin and Lee like to loiter in San Pedro and I told them to do some stuff and I filmed and edited it to their song. </div>

story from Come Back Caligari, but my friends didn't memorize the lines and we
used a stupid strobe light that ruined most of the footage and rendered other
parts completely dark. I already had the theatre costumes footage and crew so I
tossed the screenplay and edited what I could use in addition to some public
domain footage from old exploitation films and set it to some Hermann Kopp and
NON. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I made this video with my friends its based off of an video of incense and peppermints live performance by strawberry alarm clock done in the 60s but I messed with some aspects it matches shot for shot though! The images above are either preproduction references or unfiltered stills from the video. It was actually shot in HD but Rick from the band wanted it to look more "gritty" so I added a few filters and lowered the resolution. It ended up looking pretty good anyways. My sister Amanda did the makeup and styling on the lovely Avalon who did me the favor of sitting in for the video. Most of the footage was shot by my friend Priscilla in her apartment. </div>

Aside from doing odd jobs since I moved to Los Angeles I've been hanging out with my high school friends and their high school friends and going to a lot of shows and bars and film screenings- essentially most of my negative experiences in my past year can be summed up by Morrisey nagging: <div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: small;">I'm not going to pretend like I had an elevated sense of aesthetic taste as a child- what I really liked about Gelsen Gas' art was that it was both lewd and colorful (his surreal paintings)- unfortunately none of what I have gathered here speaks for that side of his work. Nonetheless I was extremely excited to find that he experiemented with bauhausesque grafic design- AND ALSO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED when I found out he has worked with Alejandro Jodorowsky on BOTH comic books (<i>Los Insoportables Borbolla</i>) and a film<i>(anti-climax</i> [?!])- most of the work I have uploaded is from the 1977 book <i>falacias...y no</i>: ENJOY! </span><br />

</div>Its crazy how much I enjoyed it considering it visually consists of over an hours worth of palpitating blue screen- I also began watching Krzysztof Kieślowski's <i>Blue</i> [part of the <i>Three Colors</i> trilogy] earlier that day but just fazed out- to say the least in my opinion Jarman's Blue is the better of the two.<br />

In 1986 Jarman was diagnosed HIV + and between then and his death in 1994 he suffered the loss of his sight- where he was once a very photographically oriented towards content his last film is a reflection of his vision before death- <i>Blue</i> nothingness.<br />

</div>Quite a bit of the music was done by Brian Eno- so that's cool- if you cannot find value in any thing else that should be the saving grace- there is a reason for everyone to love <i>Blue</i> and/or inversely hate it. <br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Mainstream media does not self scrutinize, in fact it simply replaces one type of spectacle, the grandiose westerns’ landscapes, or action explosions, with another form of spectacle: deconstruction. When films reveal themselves as constructions- be it through form or narrative - for the sake of cheapening (economically and aesthetically) the spectacle value and use deconstruction for spectacle it cannot be said that the film is functioning theoretically as the title of Nicholas Rombes’ essay (<i>Media As Its Own Theory</i>) implies. Postmodernism is not an “essentially democratic movement” because “its meta-narratives-its self consciousness, its parody; its pastiche; its irony- [which] always worked to make visible the codes that underlie cultural productions” (Rombes 59) only reveal themselves to a profitable extent. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Rombes incorrectly draws a parallel between the films and videos of Michel Gondry and those of the avant-garde, which he claims “are as experimental as the work of Maya Deren, Michael Snow, Hollis Frampton and others canonized in the avant-garde pantheon” (61). On one hand: yes: formally, Michel Gondry’s work is experimental, but not ideologically since the formal tendencies’ primary concern is to substantiate the narrative. Thus the formal use of experimentation does not function as in the works of Maya Deren or Michael Snow because Gondry’s work is not subversive at a more rudimentary level. Rather it is employing experimental techniques for the sake of providing spectacle, as an embellishment to the narrative. Pushing the boundaries, experimentation in and of itself is not its first concern as it is of the avant-garde artists. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Works such as <i>Lucas with the Lid Off </i>or <i>Memento</i> employ formal conventions defined by the experimental cannon but their objective is to promote a novel viewing experience- a formalistic spectacle- not a discourse: the viewer would still be required to think as a theorist to see <i>Memento </i>functioning as an extended metaphor for database logic, and this is not explicitly derived from the deconstructive form upon viewing. Rombes gives too much credence to the audiences’ discerning abilities by assigning to mainstream films greater intellectual investment than they elicit, precisely because he is a media theorist. Furthermore it seems inaccurate to state that “theoretical deconstruction … has now become our culture’s new lyricism” (59) since “popular culture has absorbed the logic of theory” (61) only to the extent that it employs this logic superficially to exploit the potential of confounding the mundane by breaking formal conventions- promising a different type of experience. </span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: x-small;">The mainstream being able to successfully market and sell these partially experimental films is a reflection of “the more complex dynamic of immediate and utter immersion” (61), a direct testimony that “<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: small;"><b>we are media-damaged beyond recognition</b></span>” (61). On the narrative level, as opposed to the formal, deconstruction does not democratize information; it simply shifts the roles of the spectators and intellectuals. Yes, these films are in subtle and specious ways revealing their own foundations but not in a ‘democratic’ way as Rombes would have it. They do so in a purely capitalist way, by magnifying the disproportionate knowledge between audience members. Mass media does not employ allusions as parodies because the allusion does not matter: there is no new meaning, or critique created, and pastiche cannot be deconstructed as irony. One could venture to suggest that what Rombes refers to, as parodies- <i>Shrek</i> and<i> Wicked</i>- are pure pastiche. When foundational knowledge has become irrelevant: parody is impossible and rendered useless. Pragmatically pastiche replaces spectacle: as a result both <i>Be Kind Rewind</i> and <i>Ghost World</i> can be enjoyed without ever seeing <i>Rush Hour</i>, <i>Gumnaam,</i> or <i>Robocop</i> because the pastiche functions fetishistically consolidating cinephilia and encouraging audience investment in allusions. Ultimately the spectacle elicits: nostalgia for the unknown past. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Media cannot stand on its own as theory when it reveals nothing of itself, potentially theoretical aspects become futile and sterile when they shift from functioning as social commentary or aesthetic critique to spectacle, as in pastiche or experimental formalistic deconstruction. Rombes’ fear that “our ironic sense of theory and our hunger for deconstruction robs us even of the sedate pleasures of nostalgia”(64) seems too hasty and oversimplified, with the now greater availability of media two extremes will continue to simultaneously coexist: those who accept the spectacle as its own end and those who favor nostalgia and the value of foundations (theorists, cinephiles, archivists).</span><br />

I don't remember celebrating day of the dead too much as a child. I can recall one year that we were living in Mexico we decided to make an altar for my deceased grandmother which turned out rather nicely in the end. I reminisce about flower petals and rice forming crosses on the floor, the smell of incense burning, the vibrant colors of tissue paper giving off good vibes and paying reverence to the dead. I can recall the second of November as a memorable date because in Mexican culture they tend to mystify death and all its causes and as a child I couldn't help but feel morbid just thinking of it. Also my experience living in Mexico was that this brief holiday isn't celebrated with such enthusiasm as Christmas -I say christmas because its a religious holiday and I feel like perhaps we have more holidays to celebrate in United States because of our consumer tendencies.<br />
<br />
Dia de los muertos was last wednesday and whilst nothing really stirred up in Ontario -or anywhere else for that matter- yesterday (Nov 5) I went to a little street fair in honor of the mexican in Santa Ana, Orange County. The whole thing took place in a little strip of downtown Santa Ana known as the artists village.<br />

I also experienced a little puppet show where the marionettes where brought from Cuernavaca, and the show was done in spanish which is proof that people travel to come to this event.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: 'Andale Mono';">Steven Shaviro’s <b><i>Post Cinematic Affect</i></b> aims to validate the conception that “films and music videos … are best regarded as affective <span style="color: #1a1a1a;">maps</span>, which do not just passively trace or represent, but actively construct and perform, the social relations, flows, and feelings that they are ostensibly “about” ”(Shaviro, 6). However, I contest his assertion by proposing that affective mapping does not represent the present but constructs the <span style="color: #1a1a1a;">future</span> and reveals how a conception of the present is no longer obtainable. The present is fragmented and in a constant state of fluid change. This would also hold that not only subjective emotion has waned as Shaviro would suggest but also affect. For how could it hold true that affect has not waned when our tools for subjectively understanding and interpreting affect are predetermined by affective mapping?</span><span style="font-family: 'Andale Mono';"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 64.0pt;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: 'Andale Mono';">Affective <span style="color: #1a1a1a;">maps</span> do not and cannot give voice to sensibilities whilst they construct instructional paradigms for distilling emotion from affect. The paradox of the indeterminable audience/consuming public is that the public’s desires, just like affect, cannot be quantified, calculated, or determined. Thus, in a consumer society there is never a demand for new products. Demand is created through marketing strategies. Affective mapping reveals only how we should feel and respond to affect, while simultaneously showing us the <span style="color: #1a1a1a;">future</span> we are being programmed to desire. Main stream post-cinematic representations can only be productively expressive, “productive in the sense that they do not simply represent social processes but actively inform/constitute them”(Shaviro, 2). </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: 'Andale Mono';">When Shaviro describes affect as the “ambient, free-floating sensibility that permeates our society today” (Shaviro, 2) he seems to be referring to a desire to make sense of the information around us by conforming to the reception of non-subjective responses, post-cinematic affect becomes characterized by desire and acquisition. The perfect example of this is the film <i>Scott Pilgrim vs. the World</i>; the movie makes no logical sense in and of its own, its affect is derived from a certain predetermined understanding remembering, or investment in a certain culture. As audience members we either connect or disconnect: either you get the joke or you feel nothing and we<i> want</i> to feel so we learn the jokes.</span><span style="font-family: 'Andale Mono';"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Andale Mono';">Thus, revealing that when our subjective emotion has waned so too does our ability to be affected. Since the masses desires can never be quantified or understood mass production of entertainment seeks only to gratify itself, the myth of representation in mass media lies in that it does not exist.</span><span style="font-family: 'Andale Mono';"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: 'Andale Mono';">The human mind and body are now in constant fluctuation, shifting eternally on screens: human identity and psychology is changing in response to digital constructions. In a constant state of montage subjective identity and perception of emotions are morphing no longer tied to an indexical point of reference/referent but a fluctuation of symbols and response cues. Human psychology adapt in response to dominant media’s representations; <i>what it feels like to live today</i> should be changed to: how it <i>should </i>“<i>feel like</i> to live in the early twenty-first century”(Shaviro, 2).</span><span style="font-family: 'Andale Mono';"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: 'Andale Mono';">Affective <span style="color: #1a1a1a;">maps</span> are a testimony to our fragmented present and fragmented sense of subjective emotion. If the cognitive/affective experience relies on very specific sets of emotional triggers, affect is transformed into gratification or diverted by disconnection. Mass media does not represent anyone: rather they project what a control society wants us to be like, in such a way films only inform us how to think and feel. Affective <span style="color: #1a1a1a;">maps</span> are projections for <span style="color: #1a1a1a;">future</span> identification. Since there is no way to know the public reception audience and because of globalization of media, the subject and affect are predetermined. As a result BOTH have waned and are in a constant state of waning.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I think if you disregard the plot the director/writer was going with and instead of trying to make narrative sense out of the film it is a great historical document as a reflection of my generation of psuedo-cool early 2000 over sexualized internet fiends with tight pants and plugs- love for owls and cartoon network allusions. O</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">ne of my biggest problems with legitimate/mainstream films is that they do not represent the consuming audience- this film shows you who made it and who would want to watch it-</span><br />

Vince's look consists of sparkling one piece suits, platform shoes, pointy boots, women's accessories, and topped off with voluminous hair he looks like a cross between David Bowie and Joan Jett. I can't help but be reminded of myself in his character because of his obsession with fashion and his constant longing to reinvent himself. Throughout the show Vince jumps from fashion fads like mod, goth, punk, glam, and so on in an attempt to mock fads and how vapid youths approach them.<br />
<br />
I'm also impressed by how actor Noel Fielding takes on these crazy roles like old greg and howling jimmy jefferson, the costumes are hilarious and heavy loaded with wigs, make-up and always glitter -it cracks me up.<br />

There unfolds a gripping, coming-of-age journey into the glory days of youth and timeless memories. Personalities intermingle in a mix of triumphs, romance, comedy, mishaps, and downright misery. Once a squeaky clean, slightly cocky guy of privilege and self determination, is thrust into a humbling life of physical dependence after tragedy strikes. As a cripple in a wheelchair, Max's masculinity becomes confronted by his reliance on others. Jealousy and ulterior motives surface through a landscape filled with fast-paced fraternity parties and superficiality galore. Also starring Shae Valko as nerdy roommate, "Bernard Feinstein", Nick Zott as Max's fraternity big brother, "Jake Conway", Zack Stewart as the wrestling team bully, "Sid Butcher," with special appearances by Russ "Rusty" Jameson and the one and only Mr. Bill Vincent. <strong style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Enduring Destiny </span></strong>is a deconstruction into a status-driven ego of crippling proportions.

</style> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">There is a fine line drawn in African American music of the 80's, a dichotomy delineated by the vapid work of say- musicians like Lionel Ritchie and his "Dancing on the Ceiling" on one hand and Public Enemy's provocative rhetoric in "Right Starter" (both released in 1987). In 1989 Trey Ellis writes "The New Black Aesthetic" a partial but endearing cultural observation of the new African American culture, he optimistically makes reference to the changing landscape of culture arising from a post civil rights generation of new artists, and the importance of stressing blackness as a medium of progress. He specifically critiques Ritchie and Whitney Houston as"- pop singers [that] have transformed themselves into cultural-mulatto, assimilationist night- mares; neutered mutations instead of thriving hybrids. Trying to please both worlds instead of themselves, they end up truly pleasing neither" (Ellis, 242) on a basis that they have "applied Porcelana fade cream to their once extremely soulful throats". Which is where I draw the line, I don't think its about how you sing the song or the tune rather the nature of the lyrics or the purpose- or inversely lack there of. The fact that "Dancing on the Ceiling" is a song about getting wasted and having fun while "Right Starter" is a sort of social manifesto and critique as a response to crime and repression in/of African American communities.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">When it comes to music, especially African American music, its really difficult to say it is multi cultural- in my perspective African American music has a privileged cultural position in the 20th century- because to a certain point most white/American/British popular music has somehow developed from it. So in an effort to place PE in the matrix of what Ashe coins the post soul aesthetic music is put in a paradoxical place: where electric guitars in the 80s reference punk 70s and garage rock 60s, which are "white" music but influenced by African American music like Bo Didley or Little Richard, or Muddy Waters... the list goes on and on-the point is rebellion in white culture has just been ripping of African Americans-so as I was saying the question rises: is Public Enemy's music culturally mullato- my answers is yes. And no. In a sense that there is a twisting genres and conventions in which it is culturally seen as reflecting punk attributes, I mean yes it is perceived as a hybrid. But it does not consciously adopt attributes from white music. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Personally what really resonates for me about "Right Starter" and Public Enemy is the sort of “taking back what’s ours” idea through music- its like punk was never white but we (youth, musical fanatics) associate it with British and American/Detroit/NY/CA bands- I mean its about this means of expression through music that is always taken back by commercial culture and re articulated as a white product-history is compressed, its made out to be like its teenagers and young adults that are unhappy-sort of the colorblind argument except it goes deeper here- its not egocentric existential dilemmas or love- its more rudimentary- its INJUSTICE. It is such a burden to carry such a great discourse that it would be impossible not to revert to nationalistic tones to make a point- so don't take it personally. <span style="color: black;">As one fan puts it:</span> “With Yo! Bum Rush the Show, Public Enemy introduce a new kind of bravado that's not just directed at other players and sucker MCs but is an out-and-out middle-finger challenge to the whole world”<span style="color: black;"></span><span style="color: black;">.</span> So in that sense its questionable if their music can be considered mulatto. But I don't personally feel that it’s so important that a work is a cultural fusion- that doesn’t always make it progressive. </span></div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> What Public Enemy definitely does do is trouble blackness: on one hand hip hop slang and sartorial display have been associated with mainstream African American pop culture for as long as it has existed but they don't have the same discourse as a lot of their contemporaneous musicians. Rather their lyrics clearly and poetically articulates a discourse:</span></span></div><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> In such a way, Public Enemy does what Ashe coins as allusion disruption- the song is an allegorical mock of the hip hop public, by musicians catering to an audience perceived as holding certain values glamorized by their predisposition to older hip hop; that creates a fragmentation form old school hip hop. It may initially sound like old school but it definitely isn’t. Where old school hip hop was say- to come back to the analogy- more like Lionel Ritchie's "Dancing on the Ceiling" -without the Porcelana fade cream Trey Ellis was talking about. That had come to define African American music of the era. Or more so anticipated bands such as PE. What I'm getting at is that Lionel Ritchie's songs and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's songs carried the same messages more or less, while one was pop and the other was hip hop, then what could be said was the entertainers message to black mainstream culture was vapid and PE was a shift of what was expected. By questioning the stereotypes represented by both pop and hip hop- thus troubling blackness. </span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">What is amazing to me is that there is a constant palpitating vitality in the legacy of Public Enemy, a sort of poetic tendency that has been inherited by new hip hop/rap musicians such as Odd Future's Tyler the Creator. It’s still a social commentary; very post modern and convoluted but important. Simultaneously fully conscious of historicity and its responsibility as a social document to reflect in an ironic but moving way something people know but usually repress such as poverty, racism, or crime. </span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

Either way I guess the linguistic association must have somehow evolved from the Ancient Egyptian symbol for the goddess of carnal pleasure and women: Basthet.. I'm sure you've seen her around.<br />
But then again its origins seem German, specifically the Old Saxon word for vulva <i>pūse</i>, which also coincided with, but not synonymous for the call for a cat: "puss"... in Taiwan the Amis word for cat is <i>pusi</i>...Eskimos say <i>pussi</i>... the list goes on.. If I took a wild guess I'd say it has to do with onomatopoeia- <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUp4WgQxnxs">hiss</a> hiss hiss anyone? phonetic association? maybe. I could go into the etymology... okay maybe if you're that interested you should be studying linguistics- so the last thing I'm going to say about pussy is that in medieval French <i>pucelle</i> referred to a young adolescent girl or a virgin or something and vulgarly became the synecdoche: <i>puce</i> referring to women....<br />
<br />
...there are quite a few songs I really like that are about sexy cats so here you go:<br />

April Stevens has the sexiest purr, it sends shivers down my spine...<br />
okay one last thing .. the "sex cat" thing has been attributed to two films 1958 <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049189/">And God Created Woman</a> and 1964 film <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058267/">Kitten With a Whip</a>'s protagonists Bridgitte Bardot & Ann-Margret... so they can probably be held responsible for bringing it into the mainstream of pop culture </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/mWgSgj3sJgo?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
