A mysterious blonde paid a visit to a petrol station shop in the small eastern German town of Doemitz on Sunday -- wearing nothing but a pair of golden stilettos and a thin gold bracelet.
The tall, slender woman strolled into the shop in the town of Doemitz on the warm afternoon and bought cigarettes, petrol station employee Ines Swoboda told Reuters on Monday.
"I wasn't surprised because she's come in naked before -- she's a very nice woman," Swoboda said, adding none of the other customers were bothered. The woman could have faced charges of creating a public disturbance if anyone had complained.
A quick-witted customer did, however, snap pictures of the woman believed to be about 30 years old as she walked back to a waiting Ferrari and climbed into the passenger seat. Several of those photos appeared in the German media on Monday.
Are earrings OK?
I see a lot of bible-bashing going on around some parts lately. Using the bible to bash others is certainly no way to help the church's membership and public standing.
Please dump your husband and marry me! ;)
LOL!!!!
"You" who? Confederate officers? Baptist preachers? Republican politicians?
If people are willing to pay to subsidize an art, it's art. If no one is willing to pay and the artist demands government grants to make up the difference in his or her income, then there is admittedly a problem with the "art" definition - the individual becomes a welfare recipient. But the dancers discussed above aren't surviving on tax dollars - people pay well to see them.
As for college-level Masters Degree programs - any art or science requiring a sufficiently difficult program of study can be turned into one, provided there are students willing to pay to learn it. The existence of a Masters Degree in Dance doesn't devalue the Masters Degree in Chemistry being offered next door. A Masters Degree in Weight Lifting would not make sense because the skills required can be learned in a very short time - the rest is simply practice and repetition. And colleges do offer Masters Degrees in the broader field of Physical Education, which would encompass weight training.
LOL, naw, I love the man too much... ;)
I just knew you were a good woman! He’s lucky.
LOL!
First of all,
I have a degree in a science that I’ve used to make a living for the last 27 plus years. I’m a geek when it comes to things like Biochem etc. (I also have a degree in an art).
Secondly, I’ve danced as long as I could pay for my own classes-— because I was raised in a setting were piano playing was the only ‘art’ of value. Well, I suck at playing the piano, but I’m a good dancer and an even better teacher. So, it’s been my mental and physical passion for the last 20 upmteen years also....
So I live a charmed life-— I do both....work in the world of science and create in the world of art. Of course I know crap when I see it! How dare you insult me by implying that I like art only on faith! I have eyes and I have senses...
I also know flaming asses, but that’s the science coming to fore.
I also know hard work too, in any field in life. And yes, there are idiots, bigots and snobs in all walks, all sciences, all arts. I’ve dealt with all kids.
I know how long it took me to get my body ready for point shoes, how many hours of reading choreographies and listening to music to get to where I wasn’t a clod on stage. I know how long it took me to memorize stuff for my professional boards, how hard it was for me to master certain math equasions.... it was equally hard as the dancing. I don’t see one as superior to the other.
Now (way older), I spend my time driving to work sites listening music and working on choreographies for myself and students. It’s my balance, and it brings in a decent income too, in addition.
One isn’t better than the other, one isn’t superior to the other, both have value, both are to be respected. Both requre work, both give to the quality of the human existance. I’m the worst person to argue this with because I am both, I do both, I know both and mostly, I value both.
You clearly don’t....and you’re not to be argued with, your world is too narrow and vapid. I do really pity you now.
Not sagging yet (and I intend to keep it from sagging as long as possible).
Besides, if it’s gonna sag, might as well have colors on it ;)
That's why the anger has puzzled me. What these dancers are doing is capitolism at its best. Produce something (many things in fact) that people want to pay to see. And they do, and people pay good money for performances, DVD's, workshops etc
Maybe it's jealousy that we like them better than him.
Thanks for your non-answer. It’s OK, I can see you don’t get it. Actually less than 2% of the population does. By your posts, you have stated your agenda. Your agenda shouldn’t have anything to do with wrestling, or dancing with someone else’s agenda. To the unenlightened, the agenda is all there is. There is nothing else. This time-bound mode of consciousness clings to the Victorian [sic] past for its identity and desperately needs the agenda for its happiness and fulfillment. Therefore, the agenda holds enormous promise but poses a great threat at the same time. That is the dilemma of the unenlightened consciousness: it is torn between seeking fulfillment in and through the agenda and being threatened by it continuously. A person hopes that they will find themselves in it, and at the same time they fear that the agenda is going to kill them, as it will. That is the state of continuous conflict that the unenlightened consciousness is condemned to—being torn continuously between desire and fear. It’s a dreadful fate.
Sorry for you that the arts offend and threaten. Of course Charles Dickens, Walt Whitman, Carl Sandburg, George Gershwin, Claude Monet , Shakespeare weren’t very good at what they did. Neither were Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Paine … just wannabe politicians or Thomas Edison, the Wright brothers …silly tinkerers. You, of course know, what they all had in common.
Seems to me that you have your “subjective” and “objective” arguments all twisted up. It’s fine. I’m not going to do your agenda.
Oh dear, I fear I will do myself some injury if I hold it in too much...
Uhm, did this Revelation of The Agenda come to you all at once, or did you develop it over long years of meditative study? I am eager to contemplate your Epiphany. I will post it up on my Wall of Basic Truths, along with "Horse Players Die Broke," and "Long Gun, Slow Draw..." and "First Rape, Then Pillage, THEN Burn"...
BAAAAHAHAHAHA! Sorry, that slipped out...
That’s one hell of a varicose vein she’s got there.....
Tattoos and all aside... know what you call it when you make up a god to suit your preferences?
Ass Antlers.
I didn’t make up a god. I believe in the God of the bible. I do think that it’s somewhat open to interpretation. I don’t know how else you explain the 31 flavors of Christianity that exist. At any rate, the point being, people take this stuff way too seriously as far as I’m concerned. A tattoo is not exactly the same as murder, adultery, etc...
Just checked out the picture and changed my mind, yuck!
I first thought that it is my own Ferrari with my secretary getting me a few cigarettes. BUT... ...Helga has no tattos.
Yeah yeah... ...I know... ...we are funny people on the old continent.
;)
Regards from good old Germany.
