What's so cool about this bed? Well first, let me fill you in on it's details.
Thom Buchanan of The Pictorial Arts posted this photo of a bed with four life-size bronze figures, made for Nawab Muhammad Bahawal Khan Abbasi V of Bahawalpur in 1883.This is what he has to say about it.
"The four figures at the corners represent women of France, Spain, Italy and Greece. With clever mechanisms, the statues were able to wink and wave fans and fly whisks... [T]he bed was fitted with a music box that played a thirty minute interlude from Gounod's Faust, activated by a button."
Ok so besides this being a total love machine, take a closer look at the women. This is proof of how, well, fucked up our society's image of beauty is. The women carved on this bed have meat, have curves, have boobs that aren't perfectly round and sitting up high. This is the natural women. This was the fantasy of men, this was the erotic idea, these women were supposed to be luxurious. But today, what do we fantasize about?

....yea. The world is full of pigs. Be natural.

On a side note, I'm the happiest I have been in a long time. Tomorrow will be a life changing day. I've been meaning to collect my thoughts about Spencer, but frankly, my thoughts are no where near collected. But I can tell that life is going up, completely up.

Much love to summer 2010.
