I think this site will be interesting. Good luck in working on it. Be sure to let us know as you complete each section

Hi!

Lots of years ago, when I was a teenager, I twice saw layouts in which the model had mask and foil as props. That kind of stuff sticks on one´s mind. I also have a picture - from the culture pages of a big daily paper - of a "installation" or "modern sculpture" featuring a mask with a ***-toy attached to it. Some kind of avant-garde stuff. No explanation was given in the adjoining article. Strange.

One time I went into a local 7-11 and looked at the video section. Most video shops in Sweden have monitors showing some movie, and in this one they were showing the acceptable bits (no skin, just the plot development) of a hardcore movie. (This is Sweden.) They were fencing a duel - with *good* form - speaking Italian, and using classical wepaons with Italian grips. Stopped me dead in my tracks. ;-) Not the place were one would have expected good fencing!

Have a nice time!

Peter....plot development...in a hardcore porn movie?

The actually showed all three or four frames on tv?

Hey, I used to work in that biz...really! Saw more T & A in six months than I EVER wanna see again!

I think it was in 96 that Playboy shot the centerfold partially at the Westside Fencing Center. There was one shot of the model (who, I believe, didn't actually fence) with a sabre and someone else's hand just at the edge of the shot, also with a sabre...I think it was Mike D'Asaro Sr. ("Look! I;m in Playboy...no, really!")

Most men's mags have at one time or another have done a fencing fencing t & a piece. It's the mytique of the whites and the masques. The poky things, ooops, I mean the weapons.
