Split the difference, drop one of the kids before the trip and get the other one later...

He’s the artiste. The one who figured he could sell hundreds of prints to thousands of potential subjects who posed.

1 year and a half into Obama’s Office of the Presidency Elect and I still haven’t seen a single naked protest to end all wars.

There are no wars, only overseas contingency operations.

I don’t know if that’s just the angle they’re playing up. Extra ick factor if so.

Dunno about "art" here. The pix make the human body, especially the female body, which is the basis of so much the post-medieval Western fine arts, banal, uninteresting, certainly not beautiful or erotic.

The mess of a scene even detracts from the beauty of Sidney Harbor, one of the most beautiful sights in the world.

All that was missing was guards from The Planet Of The Apes rounding up the herd.

“..in the name of art...”

...snicker...

“Art” so wildly over-hyped and hallowed among the soulless left.

I did some timeless and edgy performance art myself this morning over the ceramic throne.

Looked pretty closely and only saw a couple of nice sets of cans and one or two nice turd-cutters.
