Russia’s New Anti-Gay Bill Says Don’t Glitter & Be Gay
Glitter & Be Gay
Recently, Russia’s Duma ushered in an anti-gay bill that prohibits “gay propaganda” for people under the age of 18. Young gays and lesbians are no longer allowed to have access to materials and information about “homosexual lifestyles.” In an odd side effect to this new bill, glitter use has also been banned from all school-aged children. Glitter manufacturers across Russia have severely curtailed production and have suffered an economic loss due to this new anti-gay law. It has been debated if all glitter use should be abolished in make-up and clothing. And thus begins a new lackluster age in Russian history.
Memories – Father & Son – Vic Payne, Sculptor – Jackson Hole, WY – July 2009
Noted western sculptor and artist, Vic Payne has been sculpting for over 34 years. He was born in 1960 to sculptor Ken and Priscilla Payne. Moving to a ranch in New Mexico instilled in Vic the roots of the West and became central in the shaping of this sculptor’s character. His families’ ranching heritage, tales of Billy the Kid, the Lincoln County Wars, pictures of paintings and bronzes by Charlie Russell and Frederic Remington made the “Old West” come alive and inspired Vic to try his own hand at sculpting. – Vic Payne Website
