Support Anais Nin Film on Indie GoGo | 10,000 Egyptian Women Protest | Independent Voters Hate Newt Gingrich
DFR Daily French Roast
Anne is reading …
Al Jazeera English writes that large crowds — many news sources estimate 10,000 women — of protesters across ages, class and religious backgrounds have turned out today in Tahrir Square to denounce attacks on women by the Egyptian military. The women chanted that Egypt’s head of the military, Field Marshall Tantawi, was a coward and that the women of Egypt would not be humiliated.
“The reason for the protest is the picture and the video that was published by news services around the world, and it showed us to what extent the military council has no qualms about trampling on the women of Egypt and the girls of Egypt, and has no qualms about beating them up and stripping them naked,” Islama Thabet told the Reuters news agency.
America’s top diplomat Secy of State Hillary Clinton spoke in support of Egyptian women on Monday during a speech at Washington’s Georgetown University. Underscoring the reality that women have been largely shut out of the post-revolution process by the Egyptian military and big political parties.
Newt and the Independents
Record numbers of Americans are registering as independents, a trend that typically benefits Republicans, writes WSJ. There’s a huge headache for the GOP when the subject is Newt Gngrich and independent voters.
In a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll completed just last week, Mr. Romney edges out President Barack Obama among independent voters, 41% to 39%, in a hypothetical matchup. Independents in the survey preferred Mr. Obama to Mr. Gingrich, 50% to 28%.
We should note that this poll was before Newt went on record saying that he would have “activist judges” arrested if necessary, promising to “abolish entire courts with supposedly activist agendas” writes the FT

“Love Before Intimacy”
Opening reception of “Love before Intimacy,” an exhibition of paintings by Lola Montes Schnabel. Julie Glassberg for The New York TimesJulian Schnabel’s daughter Lola Montes Schnabel has opened her first solo show in New York at the Hole Gallery on the Bowery, writes the New York Times. Consisting of five works created over the period of the last year, the group comprises “a suite of allegorically suggestive figurative paintings that use a shared five-color palette to great effect.”
Each painting depicts an episode in a narrative of androgenous youth encountering each other on a remote Greek island. They depict a time of love before sexuality, with the nude youths, occasionally shrouded in sheepskins, romping playfully about the teal and tan landscape. In one work, a youth drags a dead albatross across an expanse, in another, the last in the series, the two figures come together in ecstasy, forever changing their innocent, idyllic world.

Mar Montoro by Leyla Ugarte in 'Lady Noir' | 2 Smart Sensuality Women 'On Message' & Anne Who Is Sensually Flawed
Mar Montoro by Leyla Ugarte in ‘Lady Noir’ | 3 Smart Sensuality Women ‘On Message’ AOC Private Studio
I thank Leyla Ugarte and Mar Montoro in advance for including me in their ‘Lady Noir’ exposure strategy, because to have such a powerful radio personality and talented photographer in Europe now associated with AOC is a big lift for me this morning — when poor Bro. Dennis is trying to explain that Mary Magdalene was really a fine woman and trusted disciple of Jesus. It’s a mantle of truthful decadence I’ve worn before in life.
Mar Montoro is an elegant, ladylike Smart Sensuality ‘real woman’, a female who resonates and inspires me deeply.
Mar and Leyla thought carefully about the symbolism they wished to communicate in the ‘Lady Noir’ shoot, choosing to broadcast a vision of beauty and female sexuality on their own terms. In coming to me as the editorial exclusive voice of ‘Lady Noir’, the triad is complete — an idea reinforced by an abundance of triangles in these very symbolic images. Look carefully, because there’s an amazing amount of symbolism going on in these images.
An Ungoldly Woman
The Priest broached the fact that I was exploring my sexuality as a young women and, in truth, do have a gift for storytelling…
As providence would have it, the following day at mass, I came from one side and my attacker came from the other. We walked up together to the communion rail. Dick McCaffrey was to my right, as Father Ben gave communion. I can still feel his head back, as Father Ben gave him communion and they spoke.
Father Ben then moved to me. My head was back, tongue out. The priest paused and then passed on, denying me communion. I was devastated beyond words. He might as well have hung a scarlet letter around my neck. Even though I knew I was telling the truth — and eventually this man was caught in another incident — the guilt haunted me for decades.
Born Again Woman …
Closer and closer I came to the bottom of the elevator pit, without fear. I remember thinking my landing would be hard and fast, and I wouldn’t suffer.
Sensing that the floor was a few feet away, everything changed.
A white netting stretched along the walls on all four sides of the shaft. “Oh my God” I gasped. “I’m falling into a safety net; I’m not dying!”
2 Bleeding Hearts
Easeamine is no ordinary skincream, as I’ve personally attested. Supporting a highly-effective anti-wrinkle and skin nourishing product collection, owned by a non-profit that funds the mission of the Carmelite and also embraces the sensual rebel that is Anne Enke could appear to be a hornet’s nest of contradictions, but it’s not.
As Bro. Dennis-Anthony wrote to me the other day: “The profound and the profane seem to be a tight rope walk that is part of each of us, though few are willing to admit it.
Indeed: the close alignment of the profound and the profane. Those two Ps hit me so hard that I instantaneously dropped the name I had in mind for our ground-breaking column, now called 2 Ps in a Pod. You can easily guess who is the profound half and who the profane.
