yamamanamahere are some more statements about She Tells A Story.
One: There's a set of portraits of two sets of women, becoming more and more covered up. I had a visual but I was overthinking it. Ok, I think I mentioned it before, but listen: There are five women, becoming more and more covered up, and they're the same set of women in both photographs, except the direction they become covered up.
A is looking at her not-so-covered-up reflection. And by not-so-covered-up, I mean, about as covered up as most of the people I saw on a November day in Boston.
Also, you could see more collarbone on b/d than you could on a/e.
Two: There are some photographs of Palestinian houses getting bombed, all inverted. This woman, middle eastern by the sound of her voice (this may be wrong) and based on her experiences with bombs, was explaining that when the bombs go off, there is an intense flash of light, much like a photonegative.
Three: after the Virginia elections, as single white women and non-white women of all marital statuses voted for the guy who wasn't a teabagger, while married white women voted for the teabagger, not by much, mind you, and so various sectors of the blogosphere now want to rescind voting rights and or give the (male) head of the household as many votes as he has household members to lord over.
Four: That guy driving the tank looked, due to the color inversion, like part of the tank. The visual equivalent of Mars: The Bringer of War, if you will. Tanks make a horrid noise.
Afterwards, I got a burrito and bonded with a hoopy frood who always knew who her towel was over Douglas Adams and her Don't Panic tattoo and the train going THUNK-thunk and a family visiting Boston (the kid was carrying a scepter of balloons and thought a chocolate train would be awesome). So much for solemnity and serious political matters.
and then facepalmed because I told her "take care" and not "so long and thanks for all the fish" about five minutes later. And then I facepalmed even harder, because, listen: she* says since cities are a bastion of liberalism, they should be depopulated and every household should be required to sit on at least 1.5 acres of land, and with telecommuting and internet shopping the way they are, people can easily live their lives without interacting with another human being.
I can't even count the things wrong with that proposal.
*to clarify, this refers to someone else, not the woman with the Douglas Adams tattoo.
Burning Question: agree or disagree: guns should shoot chocolate.
