Description
I made this wallpaper a while ago.The original photo came from the Gothic & Lolita Bible, issue #21. The model is a Japanese visual-rock singer named Kamijo (ex-Lareine, now of Versailles). In this case, he is cosplaying the role of Lestat from the movie "Interview with the vampire".
The line on the right bottom corner is the title of Lareine's 10th anniversary memorial book, roughly translated to "the Young nobleman in the name of 'Queen'" ("Queen", because the band was called "Lareine", of course.)
The flowers on the side are higanbana, spider lilies; or Lycoris Radiata. There is a mystical meaning attached to the flower in the Japanese Shinto tradition. They are intimately linked with those who have passed before us.
In this case... strangely apt for the subject matter.

I love the higanbana, really. (If you won't yell at me... I like them more than the rest of the wallpaper in this case...

I won't yell at you, dear. They're lovely!

They most certainly are, aren't they?
Unfortunately, when my last computer died, I lost the picture file to these flowers, too. I haven't been able to find them again. I'm still aggrieved!

Aww . . . I'm sorry. I guess you can't just copy and paste from this picture? I don't know anything about this stuff . . .

This picture is actually several overlays of the original image. I can use this picture, but I will be taking -all- of these flowers with me. That's why I miss the originals.

Oh, I see . . .

I try, I try. But what can I do when my computer breaks down and eats my files...?

Email them to yourself so you can open them up on different computers!

At that time, I only had one computer and only had access to one computer. I have an external hard-drive now, so things are actually better. It's too bad that I can't find those flowers again anymore...

I'm sorry, dearest. Maybe you'll find them again someday? Maybe you could post a journal entry about trying to find them or post on one of those sites like that Yahoo thing where people ask a question and people answer? Perhaps someone could help you find them again?

Oh, that's all right. But thank you very much for the idea!
The picture came from a Japanese graphic designer's on-line gallery. I don't have the man's name and the gallery seems to be gone. With clues like this, it'd be horrendously difficult to recover a picture like that again. I'm still sad, but I've resolved to live with it.
... oh, well. Perhaps I'll get lucky in the future...

Awww, that's too bad.
150 Pokemon coming to get you!

It's one of those things... we grab what comes along, but you don't actually actively go out to look for it. Chances are, actively looking will only bring on more disappointment.
... wait, 150 Pokemon are coming this way? I'm getting the heck outta here!!

My condolences, madame, on your unfortunate love life.
The Kabuki theatre were originally made of all women actors, but since they were also hired out as prostitutes, the government at the time banned all women from public perfomances. The tradition continues even today. I am very sure the tradition has nothing to do with people being homosexuals.

yes that was patetic....
I know about the teathre kabuki.. its a very dificult teathre because the expression but in the modern life most of all actors are almost gay... well if is for the people gay... every world is homosexual

I don't think the world is homosexual.
I think it only feels that way because we've gone on for so long without hearing anything from the people who are homosexual. They have been prosecuted, medicalised and generally silenced for a long, long time. It's only recently that they've found a voice. After thousands of years of silence, the only thing they can do right now is to scream out as loud as they can to make up for it.
I tend to think it's only a phase that this world is going through. Eventually, maybe in 30, 50 years, when the homosexuals realise that they are just normal people, too (and when the rest of the heterosexual people in the world realise it as well), we won't hear about them so often anymore.
Only about 5% of the male population and about 3% of the female population are homosexual according to an English study done in the mid-90's. There's a lot of "normal" people i the world. You just have to look for them, that's all.

I am unaware that Mr. Kamijo is gay.
Most, if not all of the visual kei artists are heterosexual, and dressing up is a part of their performance. It is part of their on-stage persona, like a role in a kabuki play (where females aren't allowed on stage.)
If there's anyone who believes dressing-up means "gay", I believe we should set out to educate them on these matters.

Thank you very much!
I love the man for his fashion sense, too. It's "Visual", but not exactly "over the top" (in my humble opinion, that is...).
Glad you liked the wallpaper, and nice to meet you, too!
