Live Nudes

The term Live Nudes confuses me. Do Xombie Nudes actually exist? Can’t one enjoy also Dead Nudes?
I’ve never seen a neon sign for Artistic Nudes, which is a shame; I’d definitely stop to see that.
Did you know the first Olympic Games were done in the nude? I wonder if the Greeks put Live Nude signs outside of their arenas and coliseums?
Mayhaps we should compromise and display signs for Live & Fully Clothed at, say, coffee houses, warehouse clubs and sporting events, to give context to the term Live Nudes. Just to be clear.

I love to swim in the nude and roam around the house in the nude. You’re just as free as a bird!
Quotation from Bettie Page

Full nakedness! All my joys are due to thee,
As souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be,
To taste whole joys.
Poem by John Donne, To His Mistress Going to Bed

#800

#800

In Chinese numerology, the number 8 represents the totality of the universe. For that reason, the Beijing Summer Olympics began on 8/08/08 at 8.08.08 pm. The number 8– laid sideways– also represents infinity. In Tarot cards, the number 8 stands for strength and justice. For the Pythagoreans, the number 8 is the symbol of the love. Any zeros after a number are considered multipliers.

New this year is an ugly truck contest.
Quotation from the 2003 Garfield Summer Celebration (Garfield Days) in Garfield, Minnesota (pop. 304)

The Sick Olympics

The Sick Olympics

Yay, after a week, bronchitis is no longer contagious. In theory. But if I were you. I’d stay as far away from me as possible.

Ninety-nine per cent of the people in the world are fools and the rest of us are in great danger of contagion.
Quotation from Thornton Wilder

So many journeys may the sun and moon
Make us again count o’er ere love be done!
But, woe is me, you are so sick of late,
So far from cheer and from your former state,
That I distrust you. Yet, though I distrust,
Discomfort you, my lord, it nothing must:
For women’s fear and love holds quantity;
In neither aught, or in extremity.
Quotation from Wm. Shakespeare, Hamlet

Born Beautiful, Scarred for Life

Born Beautiful, Scarred for Life

What makes a little girl ugly? It’s a trick question.
As Gandi said, Be the change you want to see.
All children are beautiful. All children are beautiful.

Chinese girl not ‘pretty enough’ for Olympic ceremony (Belfast Telegraph)

(Barbie) I’m an ugly girl, my face makes you hurl.
Sad I have it, I should bag it.
Acne everywhere, unwanted facial hair,
I’m a relation to Frankenstein’s creation.
(Ken) You’re so ugly. You disgust me.
Lyrics from Weird Al Yankovic, Ugly Girl (Barbie Girl Parody)

I’m not a pretty girl
that’s not what I do.
I’m no damsel in distess
and I don’t need to be rescued,
so put me down punk,
maybe you’d prefer a maiden fair,
isn’t there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere?
Lyrics from Ani Difranco, Not A Pretty Girl

I did a guest comic today for WIREHEADS! It’s one of my favorite comics. Go look! Go look!
