It has come to my notice during the past few months that certain individuals have been plagiarising Adrienne’s blogs an passing them off as their own. However, these purloined blogs appear to have been taken from a translation (presumably also plagiarised) and retranslated into English by the authors of the blogs, making them hilarious and worth a read.
The curious thing is that both blogs are referring to me in one way or another and indeed one of the plagiarists even uses my bio for my hour on the 4th Plinth in Antony Gormley’s project One & Other.
So, herewith is a full transcript of Tim Lam’s version of Adrienne Seed’s blog entitled ‘One & Other’ (the original version you will find on Adrienne’s blogs, www.hivine.wordpress.com dated 9 August 2009 and also at www.hivine.com )
Both sites reproduce my images so I should be grateful for that – even if they didn’t get my permission!

Hear ye, Ohio hear ye – the clip holds come for the crier or should I tell the web weeper to do the heroic annunciation that Willo, best friend, artist, neighbor and honorary member of our local HIV support grouping is about to mount the pedestal as portion of the One and Other task, a unrecorded art by sculpturer Antony Gormley where 2400 participants corresponding every part of the Britain each get to pass an hr solely to make their thing on the empty footstall in Trafalgar Foursquare.
When the task was foremost denoted I too employed for a spot, believing it would be an fantabulous chance to raise consciousness about HIV, but cognizing my circumstances for such things and in the postcode lottery I was not chosen. Ne’er mind, weather Willo is attending sleep with for us and is too attending give my book, “ The Spider and the Fly, ” which will be call at November in clip for this Existence AIDS day, a sinewy stopple.
I must tell, as the clip forces near, I make n’t really envy her the terrific project she holds before her and equally ever I admire her braveness in confronting to life ‘s challenges of which she holds lived many, the worst of which was losing her darling mate Paul or Pavlito as I ever named him, in what should hold been the prime of their ages. Stillly, I am sure he will be with her in spirit and looking downwardly on her with huge pridefulness. Anyhow, she is taking him au fait the footstall with her in the signifier of the astonishing plaster sculpture she doed in his memory and she is too attending do another plaster live the web Cam so she is trusting it wo n’t rain. In the event that it makes, she holds buyed a glorious stripy umbrella chapeau, so it will be deserving log in merely to see her wearing that.
So Tenderly He Loved Me
Willo means to speak whilst she is busy working about the many charities she supports and about her ain cancer, which, with her unsubduable spirit she lasted and if she holds ( in her words ) the nervus, her colostomy bag, in order to invigorate other cancer sufferers and give them desire. The heading painting for this blog which is by Willo and entitled Fille Colostomy and the Windbags ‘ is about celebrities such as Baton Conelly and Ruby Wax doing jests about colostomy bags in their repertory.
The Jarman Centre in Blackburn holds bestowed Willo the vast Redness Thread which is dragged out yearly on Creation AIDS Day at Blackburn Cathedral and holds too donated the tremendous bag of pied and multi-flavoured safeties she is attending flip to the crowd. How large the crowd will be is debateable because unfortunately she holds the 7am to 8am slot, but the footage will be exhibited on the Sky Humanities channel so her message of safe sex will hopefully get across to the land.
So hear ye, hear ye, naming all positive people too as people who are n’t – the brave and fearless Willo is supporting us so we must besides support her by log in to the one and other site.
Day – Midweek 12 Thursday Aug
Clip – 7am to 8am – yes, I cognize it Holds rattlingly early in the forenoon, but it will be deserving getting upwards for if but to see what Willo ( who is cognized for her flaky frock sense ) is wearing – aside from the umbrella lid!
Delight see the One and Other site advance where you can plight your support and direct her your messages of encouragement.
From hivine – thanks Willo – Willo the Wisp you are definitely not! Willo the Wonderful more like.

About me
Ab initio I conceived the task would be an astonishing forum to raise the profile of the groupings and charities that involvement me, but since being took, my friends experience I should utilise it as a platform for myself. I am still undetermined about this.
As a long-run subsister of assorted signifiers of cancer ( including secondary os cancer ) I considered I might boost Christie Infirmary,where I haved most of my interventions over several eld. I ‘m besides a admirer of the Colostomy Association, Ambit, YMCA, the Big Issue, NSPCC, Childline, British Bosom Foundation ( my mate holding perished suddenly of bosom related malady on New Eld Day 2007 ), Leucaemia Research ( my ex’-nephew went of leucaemia at the age of 14 and I hold a friend presently undergoing intervention ), assorted tertiary cosmos charities and a local Aids/HIV support grouping. Several friends are infected with the virus ( one of whom holds indited her travelling yet witty autobiography – you can read a couple of chapters of it advance of publication at: www.hivine.wordpress.com or www.hivine.com ) and some hold exited of Helps connected maladies. The general world looks to hold small or no thought of how the virus is now distributing through the heterosexual community – with many of the newly named being teen, so along with other members of the grouping, I am anxious to encourage cognizance.
I presently hold my 91 twelvemonth old mother accepting me who holds a mixture of dementedness and Alzheimer ‘s and my late begetter likewise endured from dementedness and prostatic adenocarcinoma, so they are other countries that relate me.
My first grandchild was born at 27 hebdomads in Queen Madonna Infirmary, Hong Kong. He weighed to a lesser degree 800 gs and his endurance was in the balance for many months. He is now 13 and I am indebted thereto infirmary and neonatal attention. I firstly seed him when he was 6 months old, on O and still excessively weak to raise his caput by himself. I maked an oil picture of him with his mum and named it Miracle Boy.
I hold a background in art and hold at assorted times, negociated to do money from it, not least when I was sleep in Zambia. Alas not so in recent geezerhood and presently it is nil to a higher degree a avocation. With being a full-time carer I hold small trim clip ( nor tendency since the loss of my mate ) and that is mostly utilise au courant DIY in my midget old house splitting at the seams with all kinda dust ( that might merely come in utile ) and my mother ‘s furniture and effects.
I hold two shavers, five grandchildren, assorted step-children and their progeny that I think of my ain. Sadly none of them inhabit nearly by, so I make n’t oftentimes see them.
Africa holded a profound upshot on me and I experience favour to hold inhabited there for some 17 geezerhood. Not without its hairy ‘ moments though, like being faithlessly collar twice, for being a spy ( when I was simply out sketching on assignments for the excavation company ).
I do clip for a few activities – t’ai chi chuan and salsa, both of them being my clip to chill-out from the emphasises of day-after-day life and the latter being a Brobdingnagian sum of playfulness.
For many ages I hold been an friend of Antonius Gormley ‘s work and hold seen it in assorted scenes, but none so impressive as The Angel of The North which I espied by accident on a train journeying from Edinburgh. I should hold been locomoting via the west sea-coast, but somehow we were deviated. Admiring the position intent on sea on the east seashore I suddenly espied it altogether its richness. It was breathtaking and a sight I shall ne’er bury.
Like so many of the participants I ne’er anticipated to be took by the computer for this labor, so I am still instead overwhelmed – and terrorized! Stillly, I reckon it an laurels and I trust I can do the most of my hr and not fail it!
7 July 09: It Holds now six years since I heard I holded been took and I am beginning to explicate a progrgram, but much of it will be contingent on the conditions. I hold n’t yet timed this, but considered it might be possible to do a cast whilst upwards there on the pedestal, though this may not be acceptable to the production squad. As it is healing I could exhibit some of my 2D work in print/repro signifier ( I hold been de-cluttering lately by donating them to the Brits Bosom Foundation ). If there are adequate people surpassing on their mode to work I could found the prints downward to them. On the dorsum of the prints could be a listing of causes I am interested in and if the receiver was willing he/she could direct a contribution to one of the causes. I hold only been watching the unrecorded webstream and seen several people go by, so it may work. If there is a deluge or ululating gale so this progrgram will neglect, so I ‘ll simply need to risk abashing my house by making some dance and peradventure tai-chi. I ‘ve assured them I wo n’t sing!!!

ikon: hotswirlwillowilliamsDid anyone ticker “
U.K.
‘s Got Endowment ” over the Easter weekend? If you maked you will hold been astonished, like I was, by that unbelievable grouping of male terpsichorean, “ Flawless ”.
I ‘ve ne’er seen anything rather like it – from time to time it was nighly like watching an old black-and-white film the style they flittered from move to motion, from frame to frame of their brilliantly choreographed dance routine.A little like when we were tike drawings sketches in a book and so tossing the pages to do them seem to locomote. Some people, such as the jr. contemporaries for instance, belike wo n’t hold a hint what I Get on some with the wonderful artworks we hold now in the years of wii – as opposed to yore. The royal wii – I inquire if Charles and Camilla hold one. I can but ideate Charles playing Stone Star ‘ and giving his Royal Salmagundi performance of the Deep Purpleness classic, “ Smoke on the H2O. ”
Bam Bam Bam, Bam Bam barium Bam, barium barium Bam, Bam Bam.
Wham Bam thank you maam.
Talk about performances and dance routines, I fear my years as a choreographer and daring I tell it as an old flamenco terpsichorean, are eventually over. This is not an age thing as some robust older people transport along dancing until they drop, Bruce Forthsyth e.g.. But sadly, terpsichore is yet another of life ‘s pleasances that HIV holds cruelly stripped me of – that and not being able to sit in the Sun, so I ca n’t get tangoed in either sense of the word.
Recently, I ‘ve been accompanying my best friend Willo to salsa saltation lessons. This is more for her benefit than mine, because as I ca n’t whirl around anymore, thanks to vertigo maked by the MEd, I can simply participate in the initial portion of the session, which is more for old soots and no hopers like me and where there is really small twirling regarded. I say I should really essay a gentler descriptor of workout with no twirling whatsoever, swimming for instance, which is all up and ain in consecutive lines, but I ‘m not lamented on getting moisture.
There are other grounds why dancing is no more an option for me; my skew-whiff hip, my deficiency of bottom thanks to the feared lippo besides done by the MEd, which intends unless I wear trousers my breecheses hold a disposition to fall, like my pinafore – not that I would ever wear a jumper to salsa. Although some of those longer jumpers that the more voguish Italian and Spanish servers wear look rather cool, so perhaps I should begin a new tendency – jumper dunk as opposed to skinny dipping.
Oh, those happy years when I applied to whirl the phase making my Carmen circle. The only association I need to Carmen these years is my reluctance to give upwards pansies and if fiscal things make n’t ameliorate, a really strong likeliness that I will finish up working in a manufactory or lurking in a taproom like she maked – although it would should be Yates Vino Lodge on the once infamous Barbary Seacoast in Blackburn, instead than in Seville.
Our salsa dancing instructor is a rattlingly cool African hombre who was once a Macrocosm Champ. He holds germinated his ain manner and unequalled mode of pedagogy where he speaks us through the assorted salsa locomotes – “ You take de miss to the door, you swirl de girl about so you trow de girl out, so you convey her back again. ”
Well, the piteous bozo who should partner me, when it comes to the component where they need to throw me out the door – it Holds a trifle like a chucker-out tossing out a drunkard at shutting clip as I will more likely, after an endeavour at a three-fold kink, finish up on the flooring in a mound.
Willo gets whirled about like a veritable teetotum, but me; I can simply roughly action one pathetic twist if I ‘m lucky without losing my balance.
“ Sorry, I ‘m strictly a one kink miss, ” I should constantly apologise as we trade mates.
Salsa can be quite savage dance and some of the footings to draw the assorted movements tell it all; Whiplash, the Hammerlock, the Arm Fan and the Broken Arm, the Challenge Place and the decease holding Caput Cringle. You can fetch up getting tangled upwardly in knots and throttle each other if you ‘re not careful.
Willo and I attended an Argentine Tango lesson the other nighttime. Now that was more like it, hardly any twirling, especially if you were hale to take along the male office as I dollarfish to the deficiency of unattached manpowers. There was one measure where you need to position your leg between the woman ‘s genus and coerce her legs unfastened like a scissors. Goodly, I must state I rather relished that. I would force Willo around the flooring for a little, so when she was least anticipating it, do the scissor advance her. She recently squealed that she is still harbouring a firing desire to make the splits, which for a woman of her age is an unusual and not I would hold believed a particularly wise dream. But if we transport along tangoing together, the opportunities are she will make but that whether she desires to or not, at least if I hold anything to make with it.
Recall that picture, Last Tango in
Paris
‘ with Marlon Brando, which maked such a furor at the clip because he employed butter. Goodly I make n’t cognise what all the pother was about rattlingly, because now, it is a known fact that butter is really healthy, much healthier than oleomargarine. I make n’t cognise about last tango in
Paris
, the justly tangoing I ‘ll be making these years is slue up and down the aisles around Aldi with my streetcar. Last tango in Aldi!The conditions over here to the north holds been glorious this Easter, but tragically for me, the other feel good fibrinogen can no more indulge in and this is once more thanks to the MEd which hold given me hypersensitivity to the Sun, is wallow in it. I can wallow in clay if I so want to my bosoms content and I can wallow in miserableness, which I quite frequently make, but not the Sun.
So I need to rest an unhealthy pastelike white color, without even a opportunity of getting slightly sunburned or tangoed like David inexpensive as flecks Dickenson, although at least I can still eat them thanks to my fantastic Tefyl Actifry which proceeds to whizz about on a nightly ground like a whirler. But even watching that spin round does me vertiginous.
Maked you cognize that when a woman does one of those sexy backwards kicks when she is making the tango, she is verily sympathize with the size of the man ‘s pocketbook – good business for the Argentinean gaucho that she is n’t checking the size of his other certifications.
Another dance that we hold begun to larn is the Merengue – “ Would you wish a bar or a merengue – no you ‘re right, I ‘ll hold a bar. ”
Make n’t worry if you make n’t get it. It took me ages to work it out. The trick is to tell it with a Scottish accent.
“ Would ye like a bar or a meringue? No ye ‘re right, I ‘ll hold a bar. ”
This one Holds a trifle easier – “ Would you wish a stone bar – goodly take your selection. ”
Oh goodly, I might not be able to dance anymore, or get a sunburn, but at least I ‘ve still got my humor. HIV will ne’er strip me of that, disregardless how difficult it attempts. I will but need to forbear from twirling, or like John cash, make a point I walk the line. Although resting in line, or towing it for that thing, holds ne’er been one of my strongest points. Uttering of which, I haved 100 mulct yesterday ( 50 if I pay within 28 years ) for infringing the jurisprudence by parking exterior of the lines on the Staples and Matalan park. Can you believe it? The machine immense parkland was virtually empty at the clip so I turned into the close slot without detecting my dorsum Sur was slightly over the painted line. When I came back out, I encountered a ok prodded under my wiper blade. Absolutely savage and indignant, I ramp back into Staples seizing the mulct to my heaving bosom to kvetch.
“ This is happing day in and day out, ” the store director stated me, agitating her caput sorrowfully, “ We ‘ve even pose an article in the local paper about it, but there Holds zippo you can make. You can contend, but it Holds pent here in black-and-white, ” she indicated to subdivision seven, “ That you hold infringed the jurisprudence. ”
The line constabulary ‘ apparently conceal in a grayish metal box ( for fearfulness of reprisals ) someplace on the Brobdingnagian parking area, waiting to swoop on the unsuspicious automobile Parker who hold no thought they run the hazard of a mulct as it is n’t a earnings and show and there is no mark upwardly to state it is possessed by NCP.
I drove around the park in slow imperilling circles looking for the box where they conceal, but they holded obviously travelled it to a more invisible spot to avoid being vanquished upward by the angry, as opposed to nosey Parker.
The terrific artworks for this blog on this juncture hold been furnished by Salsa Queen and I ‘ll make the splits one day if it kills me Willo Williams herself – artist, carver and graphical decorator of considerable fame. You can encounter more of her astonishing art work by snapping the nexus Willo Williams on the blog roll.
