Ricky Martin mentions the word 'Mata hari' in one of his hit songs: 'shake your bon-bon'
You're a
Mata Hari.
I wanna know your story.
In the Sahara sun I wanna be the one that's gonna come and take you,
make you shake your bon-bon, shake your bon-bon, shake your bon-bon.
Up in the Himalayas, c'mon I wanna lay ya.
We'll go around the world in a day.
Don't say no, no.
Shake it my way, oh shake your bon-bon,
shake your bon-bon, shake your bon-bon.
Matahari was a stage name for a half dutch half javanese first oriental style erotic dancer who then turned herself into a celebrated controversial world class courtessan slash double agent spy.
When her older abusive Scottish Dutch husband stationed in Java as captain, she found her roots and the sexuality in the ritual dancings of the locals.
Things happened to her life. She fled to Paris. Introducing herself as a Javanese princess (Parisians didnt have a clue

) and invented oriental erotic striptease to Europe.
Baz Luhrmann said that Nicole Kidman's character in Moulan Rouge is pretty much inspired by Mata Hari.
Maybe our fellow the quite romantic writer Majapahitans should write her story. Hows that bang Maja?
Anyway I have tasted kopi luwak. Its very smoothly thick & the aroma is just flavoulicious. If the Starbucks is a Marlboro, kopy luwak is a Dji Sam Soe

. Nothing can beat it.
And yes Hagine, Im feeling it. Everytime Indonesia is mentioned on some foreign films or happenings I just like 'Thats my country baby

'
I remember when I first saw Silence of The Lambs, I went all exited when I read 'made in Indonesia' on the shirt of the victim.

Oh ya do u know that Ewan McGregor as the infamous Nick Leeson listening to our very own Hetty Koes Endang's tune in one of the scene of Rogue Trader?
