surreal: April Flores glitter suicide in my bathtub

by violet blue on June 29, 2009

Last month when Courtney Trouble, April Flores, Carlos Batts, Kim Kane and others invaded my house to shoot some indie porn, I wasn’t in the rooms when they were shooting so I didn’t see what they did. And that was fine with me; I was thrilled to have these exciting artists in my house making erotic art within — and being inspired by — my personal environment. So it was especially surreal for me to click ‘play’ on the above video, not know what I was going to see, and then realize after a few moments of recognition that this was in my bathroom, my bathtub; and the mood was moving and very intense for me. Yes, that’s my switchblade. What’s more, it reminds me of this self-portrait photo set (contains nudity) I shot a year and a half ago one particularly lonely christmas in that very same bathtub, still mine:

This is lovely. What is the song April puts on at the beginning?

Violet,

Those photos you took have been some of my favorites since I first saw them. I have always thought they were fantastic but I have always felt a little sad looking at them. now I know why. Having spent far to many days alone against my will I do hope and pray that you are only ever alone by choice from here on.

A past and future admirer

I find this very sad. The protagonist is a beautiful woman and it was terrible to see this end in blood. I wanted to see her have a very nice orgasm, thank you very much, and that was that! Why the hell not?
