Ogni homo me guarda…
“A leading museum has paid 240,000 pounds for a plate which shows a portrait of a man whose head is made up entirely of penises. It is thought to have been made by Italian Renaissance ceramicist Francesco Urbini in the 16th century. The head is framed by a garland carrying the inscription: Ogni homo me guarda come fosse una testa de cazi (Every man looks at me as if I were a dickhead).” They never showed us anything like that in *my* Art History classes.

I read them all but trust your mother to actually follow the link to the head made of penises. Actually I also looked at the kitty power, naturally. So the connection would be penis and pussy you consider? Nope – they’re pictures, not words. I guess I spend enough time with the words at this screen already!! Well ok a really well written, brief something on the p&p theme – and the struggles therewith in midlife say – and I might be tempted to read – way more interesting than email petitions. Altho’ your assurance that I can let go of my guilt in that regard was nice to read….
