Yes, I do think about that Madonna sometimes. I think that pyramid is part of the Virgin's garment, as here:

hee hee....sacrifice!
I am so ROFLMAO at that picture. (Sometimes, especially when the baby is a newborn and you’re engorged, that move just happens). LOL =)
Hey, it’s happened to me!
Ah, here you are. The consensus is, we need art threads.

Splendid.
The one you posted the image of years back was nearly all white, and the garment was at the same time white flowers. There was a strong solitude theme, but I don’t know if it came from the name or from you comment and the emotional impact the statue had.
...
OK, you made me go and get the rosary from the car. She is not the Oaxaca one — nothing black on the chest. The garment forms a right rectangle with the hypothenuse down, so that the right angle is at the top, — not the sharp angle at top of these two. It is VERY large in proportion to the head. There is a much smaller black triangle — hair or the shade of the head garment — framing the head. The background is gold. What I have is an Our Father rosary bead, tiny photograph on plastic, — impossible to see the details.
It just makes sense as there were few books and few readers of books. It also makes sense that the Church used all the senses, I don’t think it was coincidence.
So, post that quote again! I’m interested!
I haven’t seen them but my BIL is always telling me that he is going to give me his mother’s history books. They are all supposedly about how the Catholic Church kept music alive during the Dark Ages.
I don't have time to re-format the whole thing now. If you go to this link and do a search for the paragraph that begins "At Madrid", there is a long story that you will probably find entertaining.
You said: Wow. Never thought I’d ever see the Virgin Mary’s boobs. lol.
Calm down Beavis. Or is it Butthead?
Sure thing Homer.

D’oh!
That’s one invincibly ignorant post of yours that I hope doesn’t get pulled.
Shouldn't. I'm rather proud of it. :-)
You mean the pornographic boob in the first picture doesn't get ya all fired up? The poster of that picture should be banned. lol.
Oh and comparitively speaking I think I like that one better than the African pictures in National Geographic. lol..
Thank you so very much. I will certainly pick this up. Sounds also as though you have a lovely and fulfilling hobby as well. :-)
