‘I’m struck by the fact there was nothing supernatural about my heightened perceptions that afternoon, nothing that I needed an idea of magic or a divinity to explain. No, all it took was another perceptual slant on the same old reality,’
⁃ Michael Pollan, How to Change Your Mind
For this week’s Throwback Thursday post, I’m updating the second most popular post from 2016 – Passenger! I’ve re-used Hunger, the most popular, too many times and I actually prefer this one so I’m really happy to have got to play with the image again and remember that fantastic day…
The original image remains one of my favourites but I am really pleased with the confused and psychedelic haze of the re-edit!

‘Courage is no match for an unfriendly shoe, Countess…’
– James Bond, For Your Eyes Only
When recreating sexy movie posters, I had to include something from a Bond film!
I’ve not yet reviewed a Bond film over on my movie blog. I love Bond so but I’m not sure that he’ll stand up well to feminist and sex positive scrutiny…!
Special thanks to EA for helping me today. The perils of FebPhotoFest were more obvious with this one!!
Picture the scene:
Martha's asleep. We're just getting ready to take a photo for @theotherlivvy's #FebPhotoFest series.
I'm in a tuxedo onesie. She's in knickers and high heels.
And the doorbell rings.
I strongly suspect it's our next-door neighbour – we've just moved here…

I think I like our sex toy brandishing version better than the original…!

We’re moving house at the moment. There are boxes and paper and tape everywhere…
How could I resist?

‘I’m really sorry that I cheated so much. But I guess that’s just the way things are.’
– Lolita
This is late because we were moving house this weekend and there was chaos everywhere!! But also because it was surprisingly difficult to take! If I hadn’t already written a review of the movie over at Sex, Love and Videotape, I might have changed my mind about using this movie poster in my collection…
But I’m happy with the result, and I’m even happier that I now have some incredible heart sunglasses 😍

‘I thought about the word ‘profile’ and what a weird double meaning it had. We say we’re looking at a person’s profile online, or say a newspaper is writing a profile on someone, and we assume it’s the whole them we’re seeing. But when a photographer takes a picture of a profile, you’re only seeing half the face… It’s never the way you would remember seeing them.’
– David Levithan, Every You, Every Me

For Throwback Thursday this year, I’ve decided to look back at my most popular images from 2015-2018, the first 4 years that I took part in Sinful Sunday and shared erotic images (2019 wasn’t a full blogging year so I’m skipping it in this review). Some weeks I’m not using the number 1 most popular image as I’ve thrown it back on a Thursday before, but they’re definitely top 5!
Today’s photo was originally taken in November 2015 and was called ‘The Proper Way to Behave.‘ It’s one of my favourite photos ever but I do like this more focussed edit.
