She didn’t break away from the kiss as her hands trailed down his chest and grabbed onto the hem of his shirt, carefully tugging it up, her intentions with it clear. And she made it deep, passionate, her body pressing against his and her hips grinding against his covered hard on. ![]() Upon his request, Juno grinned from ear to ear and cupped his face as she leaned in to kiss him. “Hmm… I will let you know if any other celebrity I interview invites me over for a brunch.”Juno murmured with a teasing chuckle while humming softly at the feel of his large hands rubbing along her thighs. And the way he looked at her sent a jolt of excitement down her spine. A single giggle fell from her lips as her dress was pulled over her head, blinding her there for a short moment before she got to look down at him once more. He was tender, slow with her, taking his sweet time and making her appreciate it a lot. Juno felt his bulge pressing firmly against her covered warmth, it even made her let out a shaky sigh. It gave her more confidence that was definitively needed, because maybe it wasn’t showing but she felt absolutely nervous to even kiss him, let alone take steps further. The way the poem, the novel, and the film have worked together to spawn everything from video games to fridge magnets to stage plays is astounding, and is proof, I’d argue, that the act of interpreting art can sometimes be as generative as making art itself.She enjoyed the way he looked at her, how he was playing along and was just the same tease. I don’t lament this procession (or precession ) so much as marvel at it, pleased and shocked that a poem written in 1923-itself a mere sign that gestures weakly toward the “reality” of the natural world-is at its core. In other words, we’re living in Baudrillard’s hypperreality and loving every second of it. When we now exhort someone to “stay gold” absent the original context of Frost’s poem, we’re engaging a deep distortion of the original text. The text of the meme is lifted from Jean Baudrillard’s “The Precession of Simulacra.” One of Baudrillard’s beliefs was not that signs bear no resemblance to reality, but that a shared understanding of reality has no real bearing on how we live our lives.Īs we move from Frost’s poem to Hinton’s integration of the poem into her text to a film adaptation of the novel to a stupid piece of painted wood with the words “STAY GOLD” laser cut out of it that is definitely not hanging on my wall as I write this, we arrive at a phrase which “bears no relation to any reality whatsoever,” in a way.
