I was flipping channels the other day when I ended up on the TV Guide Channel. They've started playing Jimmy Kimmel re-runs on the top half of the screen. They were showing a weird clip of a woman in a bee costume performing a bee mating flight. It was super weird, and yet strangely hilarious. Apparently, she became fascinated with the reproductive process of bugs after reading up on aphids and how they reproduce by cloning themselves. I had to look it up after. The woman was Isabella Rossellini and she did a series of short clips on the sex lives of insects called Green Porno. I found them on the Sundance Channel website and watched them. While informative, they are also quite ridiculous, but in a good way. The Snail and the Bee shorts are probably my favorites. It's just funny to watch this women dress up in silly bug costume and narrate her buggy sexual encounters with her accented voice.

Listening to the behind the scenes interviews is interesting too. She shares her thoughts on short short short films made specifically for the web and other small media like phones and ipods. It's all very interesting and you should go over and watch.

I saw that program a couple of years ago on free to air TV here. It amused the hell outta me :D Especially the bit about exploding bee penises, or something along those lines...

In other news, I just found this on Google and thought it should be shared. It's a really old comment I made on Velvet Unfolding's guestbook:

It's crazy that those guestbooks still exist. I guess I picked a good free guestbook. With other guestbooks disappearing into the great nebulous mass of the web, those still live on! Whether you want them to or not XD
