selfportraits: rainbowarrior photos & CocoRosie song
A few weeks ago I was at Ben's fam's house for his/elya's birthday party, and after the festivities died down I happened to go in the garage for something and saw RAINBOWS from the glass in the garage windows -- so I took a million photos. I cannot resist rainbows -- they are still magic to me. *love sparkle glitter beauty* and also, queer pride yes! :D I need to make myself some rainbow jewelry.
The song doesn't really have to do with the photos, artistically, but it just seemed to fit so I used the lyrics as captions. ;-)
I love people who genderfuck. :D Refusing to be confined to the dress/behaviors that culture assigns to your sex is incredibly attractive to me.
of all the white horses...
In these times of evil spirits
Of material thugs and mischief
Fear Saint Noni's wisdom
And his love for rainbow spirits
Jealous of their faithful heart-bond
And their dancing and their laughing
Made at last a league against them
To molest them and destroy them
Saint Noni wise and heart-strong
Often said to Rainbowarrior
"O my brother do not leave me!
Lest the evil spirits harm you!"
Rainbowarrior of two spirits
Gentle hand and lion-hearted
He laughed and then he answered
Like a child he softly whispered
We are rainbowarriors
Evil come not near
Rainbow love awaits us
With hearts of love and tears
He's dead our sweetest mother / Loving father and our teacher
He's gone from us forever / He has moved a little nearer
To the master of all laughter
To the master of all song
O my brother, O my brother
Crystal brother of two spirits
Then we gathered in a circle
Stood round the rainbow fire
Burning embers, hearts united
We remembered mystical beauty
If you look hard you can find a
Rainbow trail it's deep inside you
Fear not you're a rainbowarrior
Golden light on everything gleaming
