PINK FLOYD FAN IN LONDON (2008)
Unsure whether there's some significance to the Pink Floyd dark side of the moon image painted on the back of this female cyclist but if there is it's lost on me. She is one of hundreds if not thousands of cyclists taking part in the annual bike ride against peoples reliance on motoring and oil and the ride simultaneously takes place in other countries around the world. Clothes are optional and though many do ride without a stitch of clothing on I am relieved to see some hide their modesty otherwise I'd be shouting "my eyes, my eyes..." The semi-clothed female Pink Floyd fan is the exception as she has a very attractive figure.
It's Syd's revenge!!! C: He seems to have curled Nick's awesome moustache, tied Gilmours beautifully long hair into pony-tails, made Rick lookevenmorelikeawoman.... (heh heh Sorry Rick! It's the eyelashes! I still love you :D ) And switched poor Roger's cigarettes with Popeye candy, which is good because Roger shouldn't smoke...tsk tsk tsk. Yes, this is what I did for my last half-hour, with much procrastinating, of course. <333 Pink Floyydd rulllessssss
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond [ Official Music Video ] (1975)
Amir Bagheri
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a nine-part Pink Floyd composition written by Roger Waters, Richard Wright and David Gilmour. It is a tribute to former band member Syd Barrett. The song was first performed on their 1974 French tour, and recorded for their 1975 concept album Wish You Were Here. The song was intended to be a side-long composition (like "Atom Heart Mother" and "Echoes"), but was ultimately split into two parts and used to bookend the album, with new material composed that was more relevant to this song, and to the situation in which the band found themselves.

Finally the filmparty meet the women they were searching for in the jungle which they termed 'wild' for some reason, may be because they were not too friendly. I understand that the term: wild women is resented now, but it is from an almost 100 years old documentary film. The film tells more about how Westerners were informed about exotic places before WW2 than giving an authentic image. I'm told that orang asli are called pribumi in that country. A few hundred viewers have given their often damaging comments on this 9,5mm silent documentary film (sound track added by me) . The film was heavily damaged and I haven't seen a similar copy being offered for sale the last decade.The wooden camera used in some instances suggests it was taken long ago. In fact this is one third of a longer documentary film released at the time. I have not been able to find this film in prewar 9,5mm catalogs. The 1932 Wild women of Borneo film is with actors and this documentary is not. Finally I may refer those who maintain that there were no tigers in Borneo to assertions of zoologists like Gersi, Nieuwenhuis and Abbott that there were at one time. This film is almost a century old. See my other 1000 clips by searching YouTube with 'michael rogge' Website 'Man and the Unknown' http://wichm.home.xs4all.nl/
Gloria Steinem’s Definitive Guide to 1960s Pop Culture
(From “The Ins and Outs of Pop Culture”—an article by Gloria Steinem in the Aug. 20, 1965 issue of LIFE magazine)
Today, Gloria Steinem is a feminist icon whose imprimatur can bestow the highest level of progressive cred. So, as Women's History Month begins, it's worth remembering that Steinem's own history in the public eye began with her career as a journalist — which included the early moment when she showed, for the 1965 LIFE magazine story for which these photos were taken, that she could bestow her seal of approval on all kinds of things.
.....
The lengthy article, which ran in the Aug. 20 issue that year, was a primer on Pop Culture—capital P, capital C. Steinem's definition of the term fastened it to "anything currently in fashion, all or most of whose ingredients are familiar to the public-at-large." In other words, you might not know how to do the latest dance, but if it's pop you'll still be able to recognize the refraction of the zeitgeist.
"A thing is either widely recognizable or it isn't," she wrote, "and whether it is good or bad needn't be held against it."
At the time, Steinem was only a few years into her career as a big-name writer, having gotten a jump start in 1963 with a story for Show magazine in which she went undercover as a Playboy bunny. (She would later say that she regretted the assignment at the time, as it led editors away from thinking of her as a serious writer.) Prior to that, after graduating from Smith in 1956, she had to India for two years and worked in Massachusetts for "a group encouraging American students to attend Communist youth festivals abroad" — which was later revealed to be connected to the CIA. And yet, though she had only burst on the magazine scene not long before, by the time this article ran in LIFE her byline had appeared in a wide range of outlets — and, as TIME noted that same summer, Steinem, then 30, was the most successful example of an experiment by Glamour magazine in which the journalists also served as models.
...
She did the same here, posing as figures in the board game of pop culture — though, as she noted, pop was no game.
It was serious business, and with typical incisiveness she explained how what might seem to be frivolous stuff was really a sign of major generational shifts taking place in the United States. For example, whereas American culture had once trickled down from on high, it had become the case during the period of postwar prosperity that many of the most obvious markers of that culture (clothing or golf, for example) could be afforded by wide swathes of the population. When money ceased to be a prerequisite for mainstream cool, it was possible for cool to come up from the bottom instead. "The proliferation of money and the collapse of the old caste system automatically downgraded those who had little but cash and ancestors to offer," as Steinem put it.
.....
Better sources of cool included African-American culture, camp culture, teenage culture and British culture.
What exactly that translated to, however, was more complicated. The full list is worth reading, but even just the highlights are pricelessly spot-on. The Twist was out; the Frug was on the way out; the Jerk was on the way in — but only because the Twist had cleared a path for new dances to come and go quickly. "Jive" had stopped referring to jazz; it now meant "phony." The Rolling Stones were in; the Beatles were already on the way to becoming Classic Pop rather than of-the-moment. The New Yorker and Disneyland had both been pop from the beginning and always would be. Meanwhile, football was so out it was back in.
Few could say what would be next, but Steinem expressed a fear that will likely resonate with 2017's pop connoisseurs too: Was the cycle of in-ness and out-ness speeding up so much that it was becoming impossible to keep up? Her best tip for the overwhelmed was just to find a "tolerant teenager" to act as a source.
"In your new state of irreproachable In-ness, anything you do is In," she concluded. "Which leaves you with just one rule to remember: to be Pop Culture, it's got to be Fun."
As for Steinem herself, a TIME profile explained that she had become "a quiet celebrity in her own right." By 1971, she had helped launch Ms. magazine and was one of feminism's most recognizable faces — a place she continues to hold. She may have had her finger on the pop pulse, but her In-ness has proved anything but passing.
Can you believe how short my dress was? This was the first day of school my senior year. I guess I was used to wearing cheer skirts! I'm standing next to my sister's new Maverick.
