Perry Bible CIDU/Ewww/Arlo

No idea what’s going on here, but I’m pretty damn sure it needs to be moved over to the Arlo Page.

Okay, that’s weird… WordPress was treating most of the comments to the Arlo Page as if they were from first-time commenters, which is logical, but… they sent me the the moderation alerts as if they were comments to the CIDU site, which really makes no sense at all, so I didn’t see them — which explains why so many comments were in limbo for so long.

Georgia on My Mind

Okay, so this is presumably analogous to hiding naughty magazines under the mattress. Except since they’re bees, their version of “the birds and the bees” involves flowers.

But… I’m wondering about the specific choice of Georgia O’Keefe here: yes, officially she painted pictures of flowers, but we all know better. Which weirdly enough brings us back to magazines boys (stereo)typically hide under their mattresses.

Am I overcomplicating this, or was Wayno?

Fun Fact: A couple of years ago at the Whitney Museum in New York, I convinced a couple of people that the original title of a particularly blatant O’Keefe painting was “Swear To God, It’s a Flower.”
