New Music... Martin Solveig
Born On This Day, June 30th... the stunning Lena Mary Calhoun Horne
Adding to the challenge of maintaining such a career was her position as an African-American facing discrimination personally & in her profession during a period of enormous social change in the U.S. Her first job in the 1930s was at the Cotton Club, where blacks could perform, but not be admitted as customers. By 1969, when she acted in the film Death of a Gunfighter, her character's marriage to a white man went unremarked in the script. Horne herself was a pivotal figure in the changing attitudes about race in the 20th century; her middle-class upbringing & musical training lent he talent to the popular music of the day, rather than the blues & jazz more commonly associated with people of color. Lena's photogenic beauty was close enough to Caucasian that frequently she was encouraged to try to "pass" for white, something she consistently refused to do. But her position in the middle of a social struggle enabled her to become a leader in that struggle, speaking out in favor of racial integration & raising money for civil rights causes. By the end of the century, she could look back at a life that was never short on conflict, but that could be seen ultimately as a triumph. Lena was closly associated with the songs of her friend-the openly gay Billy Strayhorn. She turns an astonising 92 today!

Satu kamar untuk Semua
Satu kamar untuk Semua [Index]
Satu kamar untuk Semua "Saya ingin mata yang sederhana namun cathcing," kata Moch. Maulana ZP., Yang didukung oleh istri Kanny Savitri ketika ditanya oleh Ceilano Borndahl Kuropatkin arsitek. Ya, ini yang sangat muda dengan beberapa rumah seperti yang terlihat sederhana namun tetap terlihat menarik dan menonjol. Selain itu, mereka juga ingin bahwa ada banyak ruang dan dapat menampung hingga berbagai kegiatan yang berada di rumah.
Pasangan yang suka sepak bola dan warna merah ini, juga sangat memperhatikan detil yang dibuat di rumah mereka, agar tampak lebih indah. Konsultasi dan diskusi dengan arsitek yang juga merupakan teman lama mereka dilakukan untuk mencapai hasil maksimal. Banyak dari ide-ide mereka yang akhirnya dipakai untuk detil desain rumah ini, seperti penggunaan keramik mozaik, dan pemilihan warna.
Ruang keluarga yang multifungsi
Remy dan Kanny, sapaan akrab keduanya menginginkan sebuah rumah yang tidak terlalu banyak ruang. Bagi mereka yang penting ruang-ruang dasar kebutuhan mereka sudah terpenuhi, seperti ruang tidur utama dan tambahan, dapur, ruang makan, ruang keluarga, ruang keluarga, dan area layanan.
Satu hal yang mereka lupa Beno arsitek, terdapat satu kamar yang dapat dimaksimalkan di tengah rumah. Hal ini karena mereka ingin agar rumah mereka yang kecil dapat menjadi acara keluarga yang akan sering diadakan.
Oleh karena itu akhirnya Beno membuat sebuah ruang keluarga yang "tanpa batas". Ruang keluarga ini sengaja tidak lepas dari sekat untuk makan, dan malam adalah sebuah ruang rumah ini.
Divider dibuat hanya untuk memisahkan ruang tamu dengan ruang keluarga. Ini pada awalnya Kanny dan Remy tidak ingin memisahkan ruang keluarga dan ruang keluarga, tapi akhirnya dengan beberapa pertimbangan juga diberikan kamar pembatas.
Jadi tidak memakan ruang wilayah, kemudian menggunakan ruang tamu dan teras ditutup dengan tembok. Antara ruang keluarga dan dapur, diberi batasan yang sangat terbuka, sehingga lampu hijau ke dalam dapur yang unik adalah aksen di ruang yang didominasi oleh warna putih.
Lampu merah-dinding
Sehingga rumah ini tampak menonjol dan mudah dikenali di lingkungan, maka dibuatlah sebuah bidang vertikal di depan rumah ini. Awalnya dinding ini akan batu alam, tapi karena biaya yang terlalu besar untuk sebuah dinding, maka Beno juga mengusulkan untuk menggunakan cat dinding sebagai pengganti batu alam. Karena pasangan ini adalah seperti warna merah, maka diputuskanlah untuk menggunakan cat merah, yang akan muncul untuk membuat rumah ini sangat menarik. S = Kompas

Stonewall... 40 years later
Martin Duberman, author of "Stonewall"
In the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, a group of Hispanics, hippies, drag queens, & queers got fed up with being harassed by the police because they were gay. It’s hard to imagine police handcuffing, harassing, & arresting gay people for simply gathering in public, but that’s what happened, routinely, before Stonewall’s spontaneous uprising of gay men & lesbians in New York’s Greenwich Village. What happened then galvanized the gay rights movemen?. For younger people, who have grown up in a world with increasing legal protections for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, & transgender (LGBT) community, it’s hard to imagine that just four decades ago, gay people’s jobs, families, & homes were threatened, & their lives restricted or ruined.
While not the first rebellion, the Stonewall riots are the most famous instance of homosexuals fighting back against government persecution. From all accounts, the riots were not pretty or organize. Stonewall was six nights of street riots with some of the least empowered elements of society: the closeted, fearful, & disenfranchised, fighting the police batons & pepper spray with what they had, mostly fists, signs, garbage cans, bottles, & shoes. For gay boomers, the uprising is a defining moment to celebrate as we look back at how far we have come in four short decades & look ahead to the future. In 1969, the patrons of the Stonewall Inn who refused to be intimidated by police oppression had no idea they were about to change history. They just wanted equality. In the 1950s, Rosa Parks had no idea she was about to change history when she refused to move to the back of the bus, either. As she famously recounted, "The reason that I did not move from my seat was that my feet were tired." From such humble origins, movements ignite.
I wonder what we’ll imagine next for the older LGBT community? I wonder if those on the front lines of gay "out" aging will keep walking that line between activism & diplomacy. If the first 40 years of our civil rights movement are any indication, will the next 40 take us into a future of greater equality, with more allies? Will the Stonewall legacy of fighting for being out & equality motivate us to pave new trails for gays & lesbians at age 50+? I think we owe that not only to ourselves & to the generations, but also to those who stood up for us at Stonewall.
I have continue to reflect on all the things many "baby queers" don't know about or care:
Harvey Milk?
Judy Garland?
Camp?
Musical Theatre?
you could be arrested for dancing with someone of the same sex ?
gay bars were hidden & "coded"?

Men I Am Zany For #9... Nothing Wrong With The Late 40s
I first made note of George Clooney when he was a supporting player on the first season of Roseanne (1986). I thought he seemed kinda yummy, but I had no idea that he would become my generation's Cary Grant (besides writing, directing, producing, & palling around with Brad Pitt).
Remember Christian Bale as a child actor in Empire of the Sun (1987)? He grew up real nice, don't you think? Check out his subtle work in the underrated Laurel Canyon or so very sexy in Portlander Todd Haynes directed Velvet Goldmine.
I have never quite recovered from my first glimpse of sexy & talented Michael T. Weiss, crouched naked in a box in the first installment of The Pretender (1996). Catch him loooking super hot & being goofy in Jeffery.
Can any of these kids like Zack Efron or Shia Labeouf compare to these men?

Sunday In The Park With Steve
Today is Sunday Parkways in my neighborhood in North Portland - Kenton. North Portland (NoPo) is a peninsula with the Willamette River on one side & the might Columbia River on the other. Where the two rivers meet is the northern most point of Portland. We have had eagle & red hawk sightings in our garden. Our house is within blocks of the Columbia Slough where you can spot beavers, otters, salmon & osprey. The Sunday Parkways are 7-8 mile "temporary parks" along city streets connecting neighborhoods and residents in North, Northeast & Southeast Portland....a relaxed, non-competitive, FREE event featuring a variety of activities in several parks & along the routes. Intersections are staffed by volunteers allowing residents to get to & from their driveways, with larger streets supervised by Portland Police Bureau staff & certified flaggers. Sunday Parkways gives Portlanders a chance to get out & be active right in their own neighborhood. Participants walk, bike, roll, run, stroll, & rollerblade along the route to activities in the parks as well as to nearby shops & businesses in the vicinity. My immediate streets are blocked to auto traffic & the company I work for is one of the food vendors in the park closest to my house (I live in easy walking distance of 4 beautiful parks). The canines & I are going to participate with a long walk (the Husband is working today on a MAJOR design project that I will do a post on later). The canines are thrilled to meet people, other dogs & find bits of fallen food. A civilized start to summer, a season I don't like to be behave in too civilized a manner. Summer to me is going to the beach & being naked, reading, enjoying the garden, cocktails in the Boys' Fort, staying up late & a big dose of "getting down". Happy Solstice to all of you who may read this!

Breaking Up
Breaking Us in Two
Don't you feel like trying something new?
Don't you feel like breaking out of breaking us in two?
You don't do the things that I do
You want to do things I can't do
Always something breaking us in two
You & I could never live alone
But don't you feel like breaking out just one day on your own?
Why does what I'm saying hurt you?
I didn't say that we were through
Always something breaking us in two
They say two hearts should beat as one for us
We'll fight it out to see it through
I say that won't be too much fun for us
Though it's oh so nice to get advice
It's oh so hard to do
Could we be much closer if we tried?
We could stay at home & stare into each other's eyes
Maybe we could last an hour
Maybe then we'd see right through
Always something breaking us in two
