Etat Libre d?Orange Tom of Finland ~ fragrance review
2008-06-04 23:44:00 According to État Libre d?Orange and the Tom of Finland Foundation, Touko Laaksonen (a.k.a. Tom of Finland) ?was one of the most influential artists of the last century? and before he began creating his beefcake illustrations in the 1950s, gay men went around lisping and limp-wristed, dressed in chiffon or dandy garb or they huddled ? scared, bony and uptight ? in dark corners, nervously adjusting their ties, cardigans and horn-rimmed specs. In other words, gay life, pre-Tom of Finland, was full of flamers and nerds. Perhaps Tom of Finland?s aesthetic influenced the world of fashion (and ?gym culture?) for some gay men who hopped onto his brawny bandwagon and dressed in tight jeans and t-shirts, leather boots and jackets. État Libre d?Orange Tom of Finland was created by perfumer Antoine Lie and contains aldehydes, lemon, birch leaves, cypress, galbanum, pine, suede, musk, gray amber, pepper, saffron, tonka bean, iris, geranium, vanilla, vetiver, and styrax. Men, as you spray on To...

On my recent trip to Finland: a tour of Vaasa
2008-03-13 01:43:00 In 1992 I lived in Vaasa, Finland with a wonderful family. Amazingly, we've kept in close touch ever since; we've seen each other several times in the States, in Finland, in England. Talked on the phone, emailed, text messaged, and shared tragedy and joy with each other.Over the course of 16 years, we have become family.I went to Finland a few weeks ago for my dear Finnish sister's (Pia) wedding. On the first full day I was there, the younger daughter (Nea) and I went to run some errands. We first went to the university where she is currently studying...Please note: there is snow. There is ice. There are bikes. And people ride them. On the ice? And the snow? You've got to be kidding me. The answer: snow tires. I don't know if you can see it from this photo, but there are studs (metal studs) on the bike tires.I want some too. This is student housing (don't you want to live here?) And these are some shots from the center of Vaasa. The next images are: a Lutheran church wh...
