IT'S BEEN PRETTY QUIET here, overall. You know what I mean. Less posts, less text, easy topics. (Aside from "anal bleaching," I suppose.)

CUANDO PIENSO EN FRIDA KAHLO, I think of pain. And beauty. When I think of Frida Kahlo, I think of a lifetime sentence of physical agony...and the spirit that must have moved this woman, the spirit that enabled her to keep living, and to create. When I think of... $MTEntryExcerpt$>
