James Bidgood (born in Madison, Wisconsin) is a US photographer and filmmaker. His photography work, at its best in the 1950s, featured young men in fantastical scenes. His work was an inspiration for photographer/artists Pierre et Gilles, whose style is very similar - heightened colour; elaborate backdrops, sets and props; a painterly, unreal sense of artifice with a strong erotic undertone.
As a filmmaker he produced the film Pink Narcissus (1971).
Pink Narcissus rocked the underground film world with its dreamlike homoerotic images. A technicolor fantasia, it is the story of a beautiful, brooding hustler (Bobby Kendal), who creates a dream world inside his apartment where he acts out his fantasies, from harem boy to roman slave to matador. Pink Narcissus' writer and director was credited as 'Anonymous', and rumours flew that the film had been made by a big name in Hollywood who feared exposure. For a time the film was erroneously credited to Andy Warhol and Kenneth Anger. (Gay for today)
Yo. Δεν έχω το mail σου, οπότε στο γράφω εδώ και σβήστο μετά, αλλά πώς σου φαίνεται εσένα το "παρέμφυλος", ή ίσως "παρεμφυλικός" για το intersex; Μού 'ρθε αναλαμπή και μια και το συζητούσαμε...
