If I were a performance artist, which FSM knows I'm not, it would be an interesting project to set a camera above all the billboards in Cape Town that mention Zuma. I think you'd get an amusing array of expressions. I realised this morning that every time I see his name in a headline my eyes involuntarily roll, my nose wrinkles and I stick my tongue out. It must look faintly hilarious. On the other hand, a suitably large collage of similar expressions, possibly arranged into a Significant Symbol such as a middle finger, would probably make a good political point.

Today I introduce my third-years to the joys of David Bowie, inevitably enough. We're looking at female vampires this morning, and you don't get much more female than the Deneuve/Sarandon lesbian vampire seduction scene from The Hunger, Flower Duet from Lakme and all. Which, now I come to think of it, actually doesn't include Bowie at all, other than by implication. Never mind. I include, for your delectation, and because I got such a kick out of re-watching it last night while locating clips, the excessively wonderful Bauhaus opening sequence to the movie, with Bowie and Deneuve cruising the nightclub looking for prey. Oh, also, NSFW owing to nudity and blood. These are vampires, after all.
