Need Advil May 9, 2008

Collage made from construction paper, pictures from magazines ( BUST and a Target circular), and plastic sanitary pad packaging; inspired by premenstrual rage and cramps.
It’s that time of the month where I feel like ripping people’s faces off. I want to lock myself in my room, eating chocolate and watching romantic comedies and/or Frontline documentaries. Popping Advil and other painkillers as necessary.
Yes, I love my period as much as any gal. It can be painful and emotionally wrenching, but also kind of nice to have a reminder that your body is working the way it’s supposed to. Plus, didn’t you know that menstruation created the world?
Sometimes I long for a Red Tent right here and now. Others, I feel really lucky to have a room, chocolate, and various forms of entertainment to retreat to during this special yet annoying time. It’s actually kind of perfect.
this collage is so hardcore!
also, tomorrow I am going to dolly mama and buying us both chocolate. yes! xoxo
Thanks, lady! Dolly Mama rocks, and so do you

Danielle Latman: I happened on your site by accident when I was looking up something art/graffittii-related and I’m glad I found it. I love the stuff that you and your camera find and also your commentaries. Of course, I’ve only brushed the surface but it’s definitely a surface that has depth and so I plan to return. In fact, today or tomorrow I’m going to put a link on my own site to yours if you don’t mind. Let me know if it’s ok. My blog’s at http://www.robertbohm.com/blog and my email address is rebsalerno@comcast.net. Be well, Robert
Yes, Robert, that would be great!
I like the graffiti you have posted as well.
Danielle: Thanks for the ok. I just took a workbreak and set up the link to your site from mine. Robert
