149 Decadance

What is decadence in the 21st Century? When minimalism overrides all equal and opposite forces of tranquillity bounding out beyond the reach of most of suburbia. So, in effect decadence known to be a minimal reprieve is minimalism itself in all its luxurious glory. But let us take a closer look – decadence, of tradition means to decline and is characterised by an excessive indulgence of luxury: A kind of minimal porn morally or culturally. A drop-dead gorgeous space free of what was decadent chintz and overzealous freeware with a drop-dead gorgeous woman, with one leg in the air, hard up against the wall of a fizzling chilled ice concrete plane, with the fire stoked, and a backdrop of luxury furniture. Anyone’s dream of today’s decadence.
We ought though to re-define the moral and cultural decline as an incline to better and greater sexual liberation, in such a free cuboid simple complex space, that loving butterflies flee our stomachs and we feel free to purchase each other as priceless objects of desire, and really get it on. Without the Ann Summers decadence of what is decadent about the high street fascination with sex at its worst: a toy and a frill for a thrill, just like naked attraction on TV!
Vintage corsets and modernist architecture go hand in hand, for their real hardcore sex appeal that they both flatter and assume a culpability of both being made well enough to last, as we age younger and younger in our sex appeal for one another as the ages go on.
Decadence used to be a cheapening of sex, and sex appeal, to the sickness of a Roman banquet and then an all-night comedy romp. Not a coffee, a J, and some good music, sex included, with maybe a sneaky favourite chocolate at the end. There was no sex appeal to the eighties in mustard yellow, even black, and white TV purported the News was more important to watch than your daily living allowance, to ride up the ladder.
Cheap underwear, and cheap slap and tickle made a man a woman, and his woman a man. The 80’s were rather gay. Nothing wrong with that they say if you are gay, I just do not want to go there, as I am not.
No: imagine a steaming hot bubble bath of concrete, with steps up and in, stood ice cold in the middle of your sexual, sexless bathroom. The sexless is the sex these days, or for what it used to be, so things have changed. In the minimalist reprieve we want cutting Descartes 90-degree angles, none of these free-wheeling curves, and satire. But serious sex, sex, sex, sex, sex. Then make love to her under water and conceive a mini-us! A beautiful water baby and let them live and play and grow in a space of light and dark, love and shade: enjoying the seasons through it is solid/void transparency with the outside world, naked in the nature. That may not be an Oxford definition of decadence, but surly that is how we know decadence from now on, in a positivist light.
God Bless.
