TIME in Quality.




Eva Gaëlle Green is a French actress and model. The daughter of actress Marlène Jobert, she started her career in theatre before making her film debut in Bernardo Bertolucci’s "The Dreamers".  

I can only speculate from watching, and studying her eyes and the feel of her movements on camera. The young woman was born Eva Gaëlle Green on 5 July 1980 in Paris, France. Eva Green is a frighteningly beautiful woman! It seems timeless and effortless the way this gift establishes her roles.  She is a woman, who has made a deep impression on American audiences in the roles she has played. . . - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 1/23/19 








Timelessness is a quality in life we feel, and reflect upon because we recognize its essential element. It was reflected in core elements of Raquel Welch's life force that made her inaccessible, and at the same time gave timelessness to her draw on the imagination. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 1/24/19

the Hope to Break free!!


Black Woman in blue by Ike Slimster


There is a lot of space to be filled with the stories about the essence and the survival of Black African daughters, who have come from a dark past in relation to Europeans. But, there are the centuries before our Dark Centuries with the whites, we do not talk about because we only think of ourselves in terms of enslavement. This dark space in our souls is our history connecting us to Europe after we opened the world-at-large to them. There is no Europe or America without the Blacks from the Land of the Blacks!. . . ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories [August 8, 2018]

Whores as Stars.


Hana by Toby



There is a group of women who've chosen to make their living in the adult entertainment business. Mostly, in this industry, it is white women who receive the bulk of the recognition and lucrative jobs, not because it is an area for whites only, it is something deeply embedded in the veins culture worldwide that is reflective of the larger social construct created by ideals from Europe. Racial politics aside the soul is the subject to focus upon. Is the wording of this craft deceptive in how it is phrased in the public arenas to validity to the soul of whores?

A street whore does not have the social status to merit the police looking into her case should she be killed or raped, or beaten; nor do police departments across the country have the commitment to pursue rapists, as research shows us. Wealthy and/or politically connected women can expect appropriate care from the justice system if sexually assaulted; not a whore, and by definition it includes porn stars. But, porn stars at the top of their game often take on an aloofness, an arrogance against views and people outside of their world, and understanding of the specialty of their craft. Never mind loss to soul, image, or integrity in a Puritanical sense of morality, or the Christian view's ridged in its understanding of right and wrong, and the sanctity of marriage. 

Many Euro-Americans have gone far asserting prostituting can be, and should be respected in the context of basic survival for women raising children alone. For survival, if as a couple a man lets his woman sell her body for cash he is deemed a pimp; even if he is the husband. In the same breath condemnation is rained upon the occupation at the street level. Men can be as violent as they want on the streets with whores and down the way girls in their neighborhoods. Girls can be gang raped as a way into a street gang, and as rites-of-passage into a brutal type of manhood for the boys.

It is so complex a subject I am subject to return to it time and time again. Fathers need to absorb the contradictions of the subject matter to see themselves better. It matters the true attitudes fathers have within them, and contradictions introduce truth to their perspectives. At some point they come to the surface in their relationship with their daughters and their sons, and then what? The what is answered by unconscious actions the fathers make with their children, and their mothers!

A Look Back


Dyan Cannon on phone in the '60's



Sophia Loren in a breeze.


Helen Mirren, actress "Woman In Gold" 







Beautiful and stunningly beautiful white women from days gone by formed and support the opinions about what was the standard for this and the last century.

Look at this gallery. It is more of a tribute. Women like Kim Novak and Sophia Loren featured in this gallery of poses, who set standards today's woman glances at in their mirrors for glimpses. Yes, this is a tribute to the influence of white women in our sensibilities. This gallery of comparative photographs skips through the mid-twentieth century with darlings like Caroline de Maigret and Lucille Baugh! Audrey Hepburn set the standard of elegant poise and the long forgotten Isabel Jewell!

If you look close and beneath the assumptions they are all white women, whose influence framed the network of thought and esteem Black women from then until now hold as mirrors. In the strive for freedom Black American's struggle for identity begins with images framing their perception of themselves.

What They Teach by perception.



Salma Hayek has an expression of determination, accomplishment and developed sense of self. Women have themselves to develop. She can be a teacher for many. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/12/18

Human being self.


Adrienne Bailon shielded!



Some sensations need exploring, and others feel the need for exploration. It is connected to divinity this sensation. When it does provoke thought it generates power into the conductor of our soul: our will. Our will to do good or bad makes us human, and our humanity makes our choices clear, or murky depending upon how we chose to treat our humanity. It is a gift this urge to wonder at astounding episodes in our daily lives. It is experience that teaches us. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 3/24/18 


Adrienne Bailon shielded against odds headed her way, perhaps!

Young man short stories lead.




"Sexy older women reset vitality in more than one way. Young men ignorant of this often waste their seed, and come up short when older women are who they need to love them for who they are. Not knowing who they are men whores come up short!"

Expression doesn't have to follow the guidelines of classical training. What expression is, is language of spirit moving in the body as if it has to move. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10/18/17

the Glory of sight.

Reverence.


Women pose, I imagine, for a variety of reasons that may or may not be out of vanity. In front of professional photographers it may be for an opportunity to trust an artist to see within her who she doesn't see on a regular basis reflected in her relationships with others! Maybe. It may be for the simple pleasure of expression and nothing more! The reasons matter, but the outcome and how it was achieved can become works of art in the perception of self. If others admire it; it is good, but how one sees themselves evokes the most thought! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories Sept. 6, 2017

Secretive women, private in their nature, call men to them, who think beyond themselves into the light of who they are becoming. These women need that to grow the way plants need shadow as well as light. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories
