Rock Chalk Jayhawk, baby.

Go searching for a specific Vargas print and came across this shite.

Extra points for talking about my old school.

And what about the women who enjoy Vargas' work Ms. Dworkin? One of the problems with hard-core feminism today is that it's so black and white, men vs. women. What about the grey areas, the girls inbetween, the boys in the middle? Images of white perfection indeed, it's called fucking fantasy. Just today I was appreciating the realism in the girls of "Strangers In Paradise" and the unattainable, fantasy-like beauty of Alberto Vargas. Why can't I have both? Somewhere along the line, the soldiers fighting "our" battle forgot to ask us what we were fighting for and why. But I'm just a "girl", right...I should leave the real decisions up to the big, strong, insecure women.

I hereby revoke Andrea Dworkin's vagina.

my god, I hate Andrea Dworkin. Do you mind if I mention this bullshit in my own journal? Just because it pisses me so?

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Not at all...spread the hate!

*sigh*. And the focal color of the background of her page? Pink.

Oh lord...

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

You're right...I didn't even notice that. double *sigh*

I know this doesn't have a lot to do with your post, and I'm sorry

But Kate has this big honkin' Vargas print, I can't find a picture, but it's a blonde girl laying down next to a bright red table with a flower sitting on it. There is a doll and a book and it seems to have an Asian theme.

Yeah.

It's awesome.

Aw shit, here (http://www.raptor5.hpg.ig.com.br/pahdme/alberto/pages/c-av_125.jpg) it be. Do not read the first paragraph.
Kate always says "what do you think she is thinking about?"

Wow! I have not seen that one before! I really like that one.
Thank you boddah...or should I say "thank you Kate." :)

Heh, a Vargas with a semi-detailed background...neat!

I detest Andrea Dworkin.

She and Catharine MacKinnon both can go fuck each other. But oh dear, that might be *pornographic*. I have read so much of their stuff, and definitely came to the conclusion that they don't know what the hell they are talking about. Their drivelly personalities and and ill-informed anti-porn crusading followers are often known as "MacDworkinites." And I say feh on them.

I love me some bitter women.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

Yes, now that sounds familiar. I know I'd heard those names before, I'd just never read anything longer than a quote. They make me ill. I revoke both of their vaginas. "I don't want you playing for our team!"

*passes by* found your journal through my daily 'sit on my ass and stare at a screen' time.. you seem very cool.. you said you're old school, that wouldn't be kansas would it? they are the jayhawks after all.. just wondering. i'm considering going there. nice school.
anyways.. hello..

I am from the land of Jayhawks, yes.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

I love that school actually. I only spent a year and a semester there, but I would go back in a second...if it wasn't in Kansas. (I grew up in Topeka.) Lawrence is a decent town though. What are you planning on studying?

Re: I am from the land of Jayhawks, yes.

[xylocaine.livejournal.com]

possibly graphic design, some sort of art i think. i love lawrence. my dad grew up in topeka i think.. he wants me to go to ku... i might...

Re: I am from the land of Jayhawks, yes.

[blustocking.livejournal.com]

I definitely recommend KU then. I was a Fine Art student there and the program is very cool. Great profs and art department, beautiful campus, great facilities and a very good art museum. If you take Drawing or Printmaking at all, take Michael Krueger. I miss that guy. :) I loved Art History there as well. *sigh* I've been considering going back, but the year of waiting for residency might induce murderous rampage. (All my family lives in Topeka and they're desperately trying to get me to come home...even though I'm 24.)

Re: I am from the land of Jayhawks, yes.

[xylocaine.livejournal.com]

murderous rampage... yes...
I'll keep Michael Krueger in mind.. i was wanting to take some drawing classes if I went there..
i correct myself, my father grew up in wichita... things get interesting the more west one goes in kansas... though i did find that seeing a "beef, it's whats for dinner" billboard every mile or so on the highway amused me greatly...
i don't think i could go to college less then a plane ride away.. can't handle surprise visits.. so i sort of understand the topeka thing...
