ABSTRACT

On the blue-shaded cover of his album You Are My Girlfriend (the You refers here to a man, as we will see below),1 the Israeli pop star Eran Zur sits on the edge of a double bed in a dark blue sweatshirt, his head turned sideways, his eyes closed. His position is innocent and sensual, exhausted and passionate. The bed is turned down for sleep, but it is empty. No female or male partner is waiting in bed for this handsome performer. In a queer way, he is alone. The mysterious male girlfriend is absent. It would appear that there is to be no sex tonight.
