Desperately looking for pinups in the undergrounds of Israel, I managed to completely overlook Nir Hod, part of the upper-ground art scene, in Israel.

                           the Israli art scene, some may say,
                           fully formed. His obsession with himself
                           and sexual ambiguity was there from the
                           start. This may have been the mid 90's,
                           but the Israeli art scene was still
                           shocked at androgynous images. Another
                           taboo Hod bashed at, from the start, was
                           the Israeli soldier. The effeminate
                           soldier beefcake and the sexualized
                           female cadet was something the military
                           Israeli establishment couldn't deal with
                           (no matter how many gays enlisted, or
                           how low- us women- would get our uniform
                           pants altered). The bigger blow came to
                           the "offended" people, who had served in
                           the army, that realized Hod had never
                           enlisted and yet depicted himself in
                           uniform... In women's uniform, no less!
