Sometimes the juxtaposition of influences, random thoughts, bits of this and that, come from various places to create a sum greater than the whole of it's parts, sometimes not. For years, as a child, I was drawn to Wyeth's "Christina's World" -- I stared at a copy of it on a book cover for years, I had a print on my wall, wondering what she could possibly be doing in that field ... it was baffling and filled with possibilities ... when I was a freshman in college someone told me what it was -- the truth, the real deal, that Christina was a real person and she was indeed in that field for a very real reason and ... the magic was ruined -- the truth wasn't nearly as interesting as my imagination. as for the portrait of liz >> http://www.kylecassidy.com/lj/2007/liz-dress1.jpg if you google "medium" and "ectoplasm" and hit "images" all secrets will become apparent -- maybe the image will get funny, maybe it'll be ruined ... maybe it'll seem deeper, and you'll think we're esoteric, or clever, or maybe you just won't care what my friends and i do on lazy sunday afternoons when all the netflix have been sent back and the laundry has been done. But as for Liz, who just turned 34, I'm sure she'll be happy to hear she could pass for 23 :-) kc >Oh its a very young girl now lets play that card!! >This gal is 23 if she's a day and could easily have three kids and be well >on her way to being a grandmother.
