You’ll say I’m reading too much into this but this is the only statue among the dozens at the local store that has a booklet attached to it. I don’t think the booklet was placed where it was by accident. There were no other nudes at the store.

    And it’s such a very small booklet, too.

        I mean you are the friend, not what is under the booklet.

    Did you look under the booklet? You might not want to rule it out.

    I have to say that this post made me very, very happy. In part because genital conversations are always fun. But mostly because it sounded just like you. And that is perfect.

      Today was a very difficult day. We had to call the funeral home, and that was horrible. But now I feel much better and more like myself, as you say.

        I knew that was today. I can’t even imagine how unbearably difficult that was. Or how difficult this all is. And as soon as I wrote that, I thought it was an insensitive thing to say because you probably feel nothing like yourself, and your saying something funny doesn’t mean that suddenly everything is ok or anywhere near it. I miss you so, and my words are all wrong. But whether you’re writing about a naked statue or your pain, I want to read it. Please know that I want to hear anything that you need to say, my dear, dear friend.

    What’s the booklet about? The importance of being saved or something?

    I like to pretend that it’s a second-wave feminist art piece on “the evils of phallocentrism in academia”. 🙂

    What about Venus? she’s always around where David is. Does she wear a booklet too?

      The female statues are not only all dressed but their “clothes” are also painted all kinds of very weird colors. I should have made photos of them, too.
