David: This chamber is an example of what I call fallout from Spoiled Brat Syndrome: “Mommy, when is the maid coming to take away all of the dirty laundry from my play room?” Props for the oppressive black curtains which help move the mind away from the fact that human beings, more and more today, are living like caged animals (all of that wrought iron and industrial strength mesh securing the windows from the outside.) This just depresses me terribly. I need to make myself a Mai Tai now and try not to think about burying my face in this guy’s ass.

Shawn: I love it. All of it. Down to the last detail. The inky black-on-grey color scheme with the blanched, stately white figure standing in solitary reflection makes this an Edward Gorey illustration brought to life (”He stood amidst the washing morbidly…”). The Gothic repression is nothing short of splendid: the wash of red from his briefs is full of bull-baiting sexual provocation, the bat-like curtains conjure up the nightwings of a visiting incubus ready to enshroud in carnal abandon, and the prominently displayed horsehair whip smacks of guilty self-flagellation. Superficially, the littered clothing would connote a desultory enervation when it comes maintaining the impossibly bleak ambience of the abode, but it’s ultimately emblematic of fettered desire — literal “dirty laundry” — ready to spill forth and rebel at any moment.

LucienX: Such a depressing frame for that cheerful butt. The pile of dirty laundry appears to be inhabiting an office chair — black, like the curtains and the sheets. And that does look suspiciously like a wig on the desk. Perhaps somewhere out of the frame lies a hungover drag queen with smeared Max Factor raccoon eyes. At least she’d match the rest of the decor.
