I found my tongue

...and can now formulate, a little better as to what and why I am doing here.
I would like this blog and portfolio to serve as an evolving commentary on society's portrayal of women and sexuality, as the mainstream view of woman as either "virgin" or "whore" continues to persist. I want my portfolio to be the rainbow between the white and the black, that kind of splitting type thinking.

I am not saying anything new, nor are you hearing anything new, and as it said in Kohelet or Ecclesiastes, "There is Nothing New Under the Sun."

In addition to that, there are aspects of me that started this project out of your pure teenage rebellion type defiance. Or maybe I am just seeing how far I can push my own envelope? Or perhaps I'm just being unabashedly exhibitionistic? Likely it's all of the above...

This photo of me was taken by the very intelligent, analytical and talented photographer, Roberto Pieraccini, you can view his site at www.robertopieraccini.com.
