The event took place in conjuction with the &lt;a href="http://wgabrooklyn.org/"&gt;Williamsburg Gallery Association&lt;/a&gt;'s "Every Second Friday" gallery crawl, during which participating Williamsburg galleries collectively throw openings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.transit-lounge.com/andresgarciapena/"&gt;Andrés&lt;/a&gt; was on hand to meet and greet guests. His twelve paintings pop with bright, lush colors and depictions of bulls and bullfighters. One of our younger guests last night, a little boy checking out the show with his parents, asked: "Why are the bulls killing the bullfighters?" Which leads us to assume that while Williamsburg's younger denizens have access to an array of incredible and unusual experiences, bullfights are not among them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Images of the show below. Thanks to all who came out last night and it made the event a great success!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rZiAD01ZGv8/Tc7nEIIPJ6I/AAAAAAAAAJY/4fhnRaig58I/s1600/photo.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

I bumbled my way (with the generous help of &lt;a href="http://www.fedelespadafora.arloartists.com/"&gt;Fedele Spadafora&lt;/a&gt;) into a group show of male nudes at &lt;a href="http://www.gitanarosa.com/"&gt;Gitana Rosa Gallery&lt;/a&gt;  in Brooklyn on September 10th, and the show opened last Friday, the  17th, at 7 p.m. I've somehow gotten a reputation as that one guy who can  write words, so the gallery owner, Vanessa Liberati, asked if I would  write a page of text about the show for the thing in the lobby where  galleries tend to put a page of text about shows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this post,  also at the request of the extremely clever, attractive, effective,  charming, and well-dressed Vanessa, is that page of text. The show  opened, as I said, at 7 p.m. on Friday. When did I get to see the pieces  and sit down and write the text? 6:35 p.m. This bit of writing amounts  to about 10 minutes; it doesn't have the extravagant 45 minutes I  usually lavish on my well-thought-through blog posts, and I'm worried it  might not be up to my standards. It's definitely more art-speaky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let  me make a deal with you - if you can scrape off the art-speak and find  there's something worthwhile in there, let me know, and I'll feel free  to post this kind of thing once in a while if it comes up in the future.  If, on the other hand, you feel I'm abusing, for self-promotion, the  time you give this blog, let me know that too, and I will apologize to  future gallery-owners under the heading &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;the readers have spoken&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here's the text, with the amusing name of the show first:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;HUNG: CHECKING OUT THE CONTEMPORARY MALE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Maidman&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s  agree, for a minute, that we can see a point to the nude as a subject  for art. Straight out of the gate, then, we will be biased toward the  female nude. Naked, or nearly-naked, women surround us: in our  advertising, our television, our Internet. Our perception of women and  their bodies is extraordinarily integrated – or fragmented, depending on  your point of view. Either way, this perception reflects constant  exposure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The male nude still produces a shock of the forbidden,  of the unknown; in fact, it produces the same shock that the female nude  produced a century ago. This is a surprising effect, but as you browse  around &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;HUNG: Checking Out the Contemporary Male&lt;/span&gt;, odds are better than even that you will find yourself thinking – &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Holy crap, this is a lot of penis in one room.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And  this brings up an interesting question: just what is it that makes the  male nude special and distinct, that makes it different from the female  nude?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would offer you two loci of difference, one physical and  one pertaining to gender and the spirit. The physical difference is the  penis and the hair. Hips and waists, asses and faces – all of these can  make a transit between the sexes with their forms more or less intact.  But when you spot the penis and the hairy chest, you can only be looking  at a man. Body hair and penises dominate this show, denoting the  specificity of male nudity and producing the initial sense of shock.  They define the playing field – they piss on the tree, so to speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More  subtly, the second locus of difference is the concept of masculinity.  This is more elusive, more difficult to define. We know more or less  what we mean by the feminine, but we have lost that clear sense of the  masculine, the unselfconscious, swaggering, strong masculine, which  characterizes, for instance, the men of Rubens and Velazquez.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is in respect to identifying and expressing this sense of masculinity that I think that &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;HUNG&lt;/span&gt;  goes beyond being merely a stunt-show, a concept-album, and enters into  the realm of artistic synthesis and progression. A variety of ideas and  approaches to the problem is expressed here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have visions of  girlish waifs, of S&amp;amp;M musclemen, of ambivalent hipsters. Several  pieces ironically regurgitate old ideas of the overpowering masculine,  and it seems the artists have surprised themselves with the sympathy  they found with these ideas once they tried them on for size. Other  pieces identify masculinity and homoeroticism, both as a lived  experience and as a fantasy ideal. Some pieces see masculinity as a  threat, others as a joke. And some of the pieces see masculinity as  simply one part of a personality, a kind of background condition out of  which individuality emerges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of these pieces, in tackling a  subject that still makes us cringe, work hard to reclaim a lost  territory, a part of our humanity which has gone wanting on the  contemporary American scene. I hope that in exploring the show, you will  find yourself reawakened to slumbering resonances, enriched in your  appreciation of yourself and the people around you, men and women alike,  without whose differences from one another, life would be much poorer  and more boring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;These are, to me, preliminary notes,  because I think there's a lot to be said about the category of the male  nude, and also, I didn't really think this through when I wrote it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few pieces from the show, mine first, because who's in charge here? That's right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iDA6dwYSASo/TJeqxlse-yI/AAAAAAAAAxw/ju88f769GgA/s1600/DMAIDMAN_The_Rest_48x36.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iDA6dwYSASo/TJeqxlse-yI/AAAAAAAAAxw/ju88f769GgA/s200/DMAIDMAN_The_Rest_48x36.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519067637274835746" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Rest&lt;/span&gt;, Daniel Maidman, 2010, oil on canvas, 48"x36"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iDA6dwYSASo/TJesN56PCFI/AAAAAAAAAx4/hUvicrxBshw/s1600/Mad+Max.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 152px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iDA6dwYSASo/TJesN56PCFI/AAAAAAAAAx4/hUvicrxBshw/s200/Mad+Max.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519069223249184850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Mad Max&lt;/span&gt;, Melissa Carroll, 2010, oil on canvas, 60"x48"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iDA6dwYSASo/TJetIqKJUPI/AAAAAAAAAyA/cZdXK6QyVIY/s1600/Adam.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 138px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iDA6dwYSASo/TJetIqKJUPI/AAAAAAAAAyA/cZdXK6QyVIY/s200/Adam.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519070232633233650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Self-portrait as Satyr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;, Adam Miller, graphite and chalk on paper, dimensions unknown by me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;I can't seem to find Fedele's painting anywhere on the Web.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are a couple of really mediocre snaps of the opening:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iDA6dwYSASo/TJeuzc0qTCI/AAAAAAAAAyI/sr3yG5PSyMU/s1600/IMG_9573.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iDA6dwYSASo/TJeuzc0qTCI/AAAAAAAAAyI/sr3yG5PSyMU/s200/IMG_9573.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519072067299462178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;the whole room&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iDA6dwYSASo/TJevB4dzBFI/AAAAAAAAAyQ/i4HDSA99PZI/s1600/IMG_9572.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iDA6dwYSASo/TJevB4dzBFI/AAAAAAAAAyQ/i4HDSA99PZI/s200/IMG_9572.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519072315237925970" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;your humble narrator&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;And  finally, a happy ending to this little story - my piece sold! A couple  came in, sat themselves down on a sofa facing my painting, looked at it  for a good long while, chatted with me for a bit, and left. They seemed  like pleasant folks, and I thought, "Well, you know, at least they're  thinking about it." Then Vanessa came over and told me they had bought  it. I had a chance to chat with the couple again - they came in at the  end of the evening, and were very enthusiastic about the painting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me tell you what this is like, a bit, from the perspective of an artist who is interested in selling work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First  of all, money is nice. My work is terribly expensive to make, and I'm  glad to have it start to pay for itself. Getting the attention of  Vanessa and my painter friends is nice too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what's really  nice is to make something, out of nothing, which people you do not know  would vote to make a part of their lives. And not with a vote that costs  nothing; they had to work to make the money they are trading for my  painting, and they like the painting enough that that's worth it for  them. I kind of got teared up about it, as I do about all of my art  sales. I think my work is beautiful, but who cares what I think? To have  other people think it's beautiful enough (in whatever broad way you  want to define beautiful) to live with, is very rewarding for me. This  is why I am grateful to all of my collectors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So those are my feelings.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8553827520604392801-5238285722424609340?l=gitanarosa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gitanarosa.blogspot.com/feeds/5238285722424609340/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gitanarosa.blogspot.com/2010/09/here-is-post-written-by-daniel-maidman.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8553827520604392801/posts/default/5238285722424609340'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8553827520604392801/posts/default/5238285722424609340'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gitanarosa.blogspot.com/2010/09/here-is-post-written-by-daniel-maidman.html' title=''/><author><name>gitanarosa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06788692330096999466</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wRt0mMl9rVU/S6xAJTudjCI/AAAAAAAAAAs/wbo_swDRpgc/S220/gitana_logo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iDA6dwYSASo/TJeqxlse-yI/AAAAAAAAAxw/ju88f769GgA/s72-c/DMAIDMAN_The_Rest_48x36.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553827520604392801.post-4430381803763626298</id><published>2010-07-22T08:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-22T11:40:30.291-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ARS GRAPHIS closing, oil spill condoms and more</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wRt0mMl9rVU/TEhwoEreyFI/AAAAAAAAAEw/0e9ng-4O8qU/s1600/oilspillcondom.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 142px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wRt0mMl9rVU/TEhwoEreyFI/AAAAAAAAAEw/0e9ng-4O8qU/s320/oilspillcondom.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496767178958882898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our closing reception for &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ars Graphis&lt;/span&gt; was a hit, though we're willing to admit the show's beautiful drawings were almost (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;almost&lt;/span&gt;) upstaged by a certain box of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Oil Spill Condoms&lt;/span&gt;.

With a provocative  mix of abstract and representational elements and references ranging  from Impressionism and Expressionism to Classicism and Pop Art, the  works by these four artists are rooted in art history, yet connect powerfully to contemporary  viewpoints.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:helvetica;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The artists work out of studios in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, and  have shown together in seven previous exhibitions. Recent shows include  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Oil Slick&lt;/span&gt;, June 2010, presented by Gitana Rosa; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Corpus Hermeticum&lt;/span&gt;, May 2010, presented by the Nerdrum Institute (which also featured the  paintings of the Norwegian master Odd Nerdrum); and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Carnivale&lt;/span&gt;, November 2009, presented by Gitana Rosa Gallery.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:helvetica;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fedele Spadafora&lt;/b&gt; is an American painter whose figurative work  deals with contemporary urban themes. His work shows a wide range of  influences, including sources as diverse as the Renaissance, popular  culture and&lt;br /&gt;his deep Italian roots. After graduating from Michigan State University  in 1990, Spadafora spent six years in Prague, where among other things,  he co-founded the alternative publishing venture, Twisted Spoon Press.  He is currently working on the “Hula Hoop” series, of which three  paintings are being shown at ArtHamptons.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;   &lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:helvetica;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Adam Miller&lt;/b&gt; began an apprenticeship with the artist Allen Jones  at the age of thirteen. At sixteen, he was accepted to the prestigious  Florence Academy of Art in Italy where he underwent extensive training  in classical&lt;br /&gt;painting techniques and studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance.  During those four years, Miller studied throughout Europe. His work has been commissioned by Robert Pamplin Jr., Chairman  of the Board of the Portland Art Museum, Mike Tyson and Eric Rhodes,  publisher of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Fine Art Connoiseur&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alexandra  Pacula&lt;/b&gt;’s vigorous painterly scenes of urban nightlife offer insights into human interactions, seductions and desires. Pacula moved from  Poland to the U.S. at the age of fourteen. She received a Bachelor of  Fine Arts degree from The Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers  University in 2002, and earned a&lt;br /&gt;Master of Fine Arts from Montclair State University.  Her work has been included exhibitions around the country, as well  as in Spain and London. Pacula recently won a 2010 painting fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts. Other  accolades include the 2010 Robert Sterling Clark Visual Art Space Award and winner of the 2008 Saatchi Showdown  Competition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:helvetica;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bruno  Perillo&lt;/b&gt; graduated from the School of The Museum of Fine Arts in  Boston in 2002. As a conceptual realist, Bruno uses the painted portrait to express how the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:helvetica;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;"&gt;viewer/model/artist  identify with sacred and profane allegorical motifs from the past  through a contemporary lens. Bruno’s varying techniques and styles are inspired by the tenebrist lighting of  the Italian Baroque and the Realist/Naturalist movement that emerged out  of the mid-19th century French Academy. Many of Bruno’s paintings  belong to prestigious private collections in America and Europe. Bruno is represented by several galleries and he currently lives and works in  Brooklyn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:helvetica;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt;"&gt;More  information about ArtHamptons is available at: &lt;a href="http://www.arthamptons.com/" target="_blank"&gt;www.ArtHamptons.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8553827520604392801-9076681043827157165?l=gitanarosa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gitanarosa.blogspot.com/feeds/9076681043827157165/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gitanarosa.blogspot.com/2010/07/please-join-us-this-weekend-at-beach.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8553827520604392801/posts/default/9076681043827157165'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8553827520604392801/posts/default/9076681043827157165'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gitanarosa.blogspot.com/2010/07/please-join-us-this-weekend-at-beach.html' title=''/><author><name>gitanarosa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06788692330096999466</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wRt0mMl9rVU/S6xAJTudjCI/AAAAAAAAAAs/wbo_swDRpgc/S220/gitana_logo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553827520604392801.post-8920645064133438926</id><published>2010-06-10T11:05:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-10T12:52:50.681-07:00</updated><title type='text'>OIL SLICK written up in the Wall Street Journal</title><content type='html'>The&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Wall Street Journal came out to Bushwick this past week and &lt;a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/metropolis/2010/06/07/in-brooklyn-oil-paintings-grapple-with-gulf-oil-spill/"&gt;wrote us up&lt;/a&gt; in their blog, Metropolis!

The Netherlands&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More about Athiest Angels:&lt;br /&gt;DePorte's series Athiest Angels, depicts the love and inspiration in a life, found by many in religion, but found--instead--in the friends and families closest to the artist.  The series of drawings portrays serene faces of sisters, parents, friends and partner with angelic calm and golden halos, reminiscent of Baroque-style angels.  The ghost-whiteness of the portraits juxtaposed against the bold background colors suggest impermanence and fragility that lies between human relationships.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More about the artist: http://www.TaraDePorte.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8553827520604392801-2420064723317394471?l=gitanarosa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gitanarosa.blogspot.com/feeds/2420064723317394471/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gitanarosa.blogspot.com/2010/05/tara-deporte-duo-solo-shows-come-check.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8553827520604392801/posts/default/2420064723317394471'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8553827520604392801/posts/default/2420064723317394471'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gitanarosa.blogspot.com/2010/05/tara-deporte-duo-solo-shows-come-check.html' title=''/><author><name>gitanarosa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06788692330096999466</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wRt0mMl9rVU/S6xAJTudjCI/AAAAAAAAAAs/wbo_swDRpgc/S220/gitana_logo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wRt0mMl9rVU/S_FjMXn9j_I/AAAAAAAAABw/8l3vJgPuf1M/s72-c/IMG_0897.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
