It's Mistress Marie's birthday today, I'm sure you all visit her blog anyway, but if you don't then you can find it HERE. There you can see which special panties David has decided to wear for his Mistress today, and read the birthday message he left for her earlier today. It's a shame they couldn't spend her birthday together but I'm sure they will make up for it when they next get together! Why not pay Mistress Marie a visit and wish her Happy Birthday anyway, I'm sure she will appreciate it.

I was rather shocked to hear of the sudden death of the amazing artist H.R.GIGER today. He is most well known for his contributions to the excellent 1979 Sci-fi/Horror film 'Alien', for which he designed the 'Alien' along with all the 'Alien' scenery.
Giger is second only to Salvador Dali in my estimation, and his (often fetishistic) art made a huge impression on me when I was a teenager, initially through 'Alien' and also the cover of Celtic Frost's 1985 album 'To Mega Therion'.
Among other things, Giger had a unique way of using genitalia in his artwork, and it gained him some notoriety when the US Punk band Dead Kennedy's included a poster of his painting 'Penis Landscape' in with their 'Frankenchrist' album. I believe there was even a court case which accused the Dead Kennedy's of distributing pornography to minors.
Admittedly Giger's artwork is not for everyone, indeed many find it repulsive in the extreme, which only made it more suitable for a film like Alien I suppose.
I only recently discovered there is a HR Giger museum in Gruyeres, which is south of Lake Zurich, Switzerland. This is rather annoying as I visited Zurich a few years ago and would loved to have seen it, especially as the museum also contains artworks by Salvador Dali.
