As I was walking through the Impressionist exhibit of the Musee D’Orsay I noticed a very interesting trend. Looking at painting after painting, I realized that the women of Monet, Cezanne and Manet’s paintings were a bit larger than what I was used to seeing. Staring back at me were actually paintings of full-figured women [...]

I have much to say about this woman, but so as to not get sued I will have to keep my thoughts to a minimum. (Email EAC if you want to talk it out.) Never have I seen someone who is more full of contradiction than this woman. I am [...]
