Calendar Girl Blog: David and Goliath


This is a photo of the original statue of David by Michelangelo. I took this shot while on a trip to Europe in 1983.

According to Wikipedia, "the statue is meant to show David after he has made the decision to fight Goliath but before the battle has actually taken place. It is a representation of the moment between conscious choice and conscious action."

Calendar Girl feels a kinship with David. My Goliath is the cultural attitude that supports and encourages breast implants in healthy women, promotes extreme thinness and reminds women that they are sexual objects.

OK...this is the first time I've visited here, but I must say, I like it.

Are there requirements to make a breast joke of some sort in the comments? I hope not...I don't have a good one to correspond with Michelangelo.

We're both on blogging chicks, so stop by anytime.

Sue,
My wife also felt a kinship with David when we visited him last April. It was the back view that did it, as I recall.
