As an aficionado of a certain kind of erotic imagery I can (and have) spent time browsing through the vast space of image sites known as tumblrs until I burn out monitor pixels and make my eyeballs bleed. My persistence has been rewarded with at least one tumblr I most definitely recommend to any thaumatophile, to wit Fifi-Feeling Is First. Intrepid proprietress Fifi has put a <em>ton</em> of relevant imagery up there, so I rate it a definite must look-in if you like the content on this site.
Two appetizers to get the juices flowing: a most unusual take on the tube girl meme.
And quite recently, an appealingly weird sex machine illustration.
(Click through for a lot larger.) And naturally there is much more, neatly arranged under a great variety of tags (“Bride of Octopus” being one of my personal favorites.)
But it’s not just imagery that makes this tumblr so appealing. Fifi has a way of integrating the imagery into a narrative of topoi, a palace of imagination analogous to the palace of memory used by classical rhetoricians . It’s something that ought to be read first hand but, okay, one hint: another popular tag is “miskatonic.”
So Faustus says, check it out.
Thank you Dr. Faustus. Your blog has been one of my inspirations– celebrating the intellectual freedom to explore the taboo & transgressive.
Fifi
Thanks!
A great deal of intellectual freedom will be necessary for the next few chapters of Progress in Research, that much is certain.
