I think it does have a lot to do with camming. It's unfortunate many of us don't read, "the lounge". I would appreciate it if it could be left here for those of us who don't venture out much
..and whoa to all of us.




That would be up to the mods to decide. I'm just saying this because a lot of non-camming related posts will get moved to the Lounge. It's a neat section of SW, u should check it out sometime
Maybe u could elaborate on how it relates to camming that way it's relevant and doesn't get moved![]()

IDGI at all, im so confused









Can someone explain how this relates to camming? I'm not trying to be bitchy I swear, I know it comes off like that but
I'm genuinely interested in the relation. I enjoy Pink Floyd somewhat

and
and
while I'm a huge Floyd fan, I actually think that the classic song most relevant to camgirls is 'Ripples' by Genesis ... which itself is actually based on a poem by John Crowe Ransom
Bluegirls come in every size
Some are wise and some otherwise,
They got pretty blue eyes.
For an hour a man may change
For an hour her face looks strange -
Looks strange, looks strange.
Marching to the promised land
Where the honey flows and takes you by the hand,
Pulls you down on your knees,
While you're down a pool appears.
The face in the water looks up,
And she shakes her head as if to say
That it's the last time you'll look like today.
Sail away, away
Ripples never come back.
Gone to the other side.
Sail away, away.
The face that launched a thousand ships
Is sinking fast, that happens you know,
The water gets below.
Seems not very long ago
Lovelier she was than any that I know.
Angels never know it's time
To close the book and gracefully decline,
The song has found a tale.
My, what a jealous pool is she.
The face in the water looks up
She shakes her head as if to say
That the bluegirls have all gone away.
Sail away, away
Ripples never come back.
They've gone to the other side.
Look into the pool,
Ripples never come back,
Dive to the bottom and go to the top
To see where they have gone
Oh, they've gone to the other side...

The entire late 60s / early 70s era is relevant to life and how to use your own inner power to get what you want, IMO. The occult, black magick. The dark side of the moon. There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it’s all dark. The heads of everything successful secretly live by the dark side.
Not a Pink Floyd fan personally, but a fan of the era. I couldn't help but laugh and smile when I saw this thread lol. I love when people understand my aesthetic and mind without me having to explain it. Even better when its random and unprompted like this thread. Kindred spirits are great.![]()










ok so I dont understand and will continue doing my thing





if it helps, the 'bluegirls' in the poem / song lyrics are based on the blue uniforms once worn by British school girls.
'Marching to the Promised Land ... honey flows and takes you by the hand' is a reference to young girls successfully cashing in on their physical appearance ( thus relevance to dancers and camgirls )
'Some are wise and some otherwise' is a reference to the obvious ... career / financial / life planning ( or lack thereof )
'Face in the water looks up / the last time you'll look like today / the bluegirls have all gone away' are references to the inevitable march of time / aging.
'Angels never know its time to close the book and gracefully decline' is a reference to no longer so young women ( attempting to ) continue cashing in on their physical appearance after time starts to take its toll.
In regard to the OP's post about Stoppard's play based on Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon', the relevance to dancers and camgirls is far more esoteric. NPR had this to say ( from my previous link )
(snip)The latest and perhaps most surprising attempt comes from renowned playwright Tom Stoppard. To celebrate The Dark Side Of The Moon's 40th anniversary, Stoppard has written a strangely compelling radio drama based on and inspired by the album's multi-layered, existential meditations on fear, madness, greed, and the elusive passage of time. Darkside, as Stoppard calls the play, isn't a musical, with actors performing the songs. It's an abstract interpretation of the music and its possible meanings, dramatized by a small cast of recurring characters, with the album's songs woven throughout the piece as a soundtrack.
The play begins with the infamous heartbeat that opens The Dark Side Of The Moon album. As the increasingly chaotic music builds and swells to a primal scream, we're suddenly taken to the scene of an impending disaster, where a runaway train speeds toward a washed-out bridge. Just before it plunges in the river, a superhero of sorts named Ethics Man appears and diverts the train to another track, saving the lives of everyone on board. But now the speeding locomotive is headed toward a young boy who's standing on the other track. He doesn't see the train coming, and is quickly run down and killed. Without apology, Ethics Man tells a crowd of horrified onlookers he "did what had to be done."
The troubling scenario is just one of several "thought experiments" or imagined moral dilemmas Stoppard introduces throughout the hour-long Darkside. If a plane is going down and there's only one parachute, whom should you save? Is cheating necessary if everyone else is doing it? If a hot air balloon starts to fall, do you toss over the heaviest passenger? Each scenario is tied loosely to messages and themes found on The Dark Side Of The Moon album, some more obvious than others. During the song "Time," for example, two of Stoppard's characters visit a Wise Man on a mountaintop who reveals the secret of life: This is not a drill. Or, in other words, do something meaningful with your life while there's still time, the principle message of Pink Floyd's song.(snip)

the archetypical 'BlueGirl' ...
When I first heard this song I WAS a schoolgirl ... and didn't understand at all the point of the lyrics. That only hit me when, after 20 odd years, I again heard the song performed live a few years back.
