A lover of books (everything, well mostly), film, music (early music, classical, jazz, world and folk, especially music off the beaten track), history (especially ancient and medieval), good food and wine, travel, walking, art (looking at), listening to the radio, and sitting somewhere warm with a cold beer and espresso watching the world go by.

the honey trap
A startling image. Let's try to deconstruct it. It could be something to do with sexual ecstasy. Maybe some kind of horticultural bondage session. Are they vines or serpents? If they are entwined serpents that suggests zoophilia. Unless the snakes are symbolic of something else, like a penis maybe. We could abandon the sexual imagery altogether and interpret it as a scene from Greek mythology, but where's the fun in that? The guy on the left seems to have been pierced through the breast by the serpent / penis / vine thingy. Is he a banker perhaps and the naked maiden an irate citizen demanding an end to huge bonus payments? Come to think of it, it looks as if she's already emasculated the greedy bastard. So there we have it - nude woman exacts revenge on chairman of RBS.
