She hikes at the mall
Legs as long as a flagpole
The sport of shopping.
Art Prescription: For those of you who have been following my blog, you will see this is a radical departure from my usual ramblings about nature and the woods. For girls like me who actually prefer the woods to the mall…sometimes it’s good to take a walk on the “wild” side!!
Uncomfortable
Bind, mold, shape, lift, divide, fit
Fit? Fashion? sexy?
Art Prescription: Okay so this is predominately for my female readers. I recently bought a new swim suit from a local athletic store. I’m a lap swimmer so my suits wear out fast. When I went to pick it up, the store owner informed me that they will now be stocking the suit I ordered…you know a lap suit with a shelf bra. She commented she wasn’t as “old as I was and she liked a bit of support.” WHAT!?! That was a few weeks ago, and me being me, I’m still thinking about shelf or no shelf, under-wire, or athletic, padded or minimizer…Really don’t we all just want to be comfortable under our clothes. Is this too simple to ask? Our culture and advertising dictates what the “real” woman should look like. Masses of women are spending lots of money to try and fits these ideals. How have we gotten so far away from seeing each other as real human beings, each with an individual spirit and joy of life, each with their own gift to give right now. I now step down from my box…
Five pots of color
Lots of clean white apparel
Twist and turn, design!
Art Prescription: Out watering my garden when I noticed my neighbor doing something on their back deck. Making ice-cream? Cooking? Planting? Seemed they were wearing some kind of gloves…watered a little closer. “Come on over they beckoned.” Ah…Tie-Dye! They had the full system in place, the pre-soak, red, yellow, purple, blue, and green containers of color and lots of rubber bands. Mind if I crash your tie-dye party? Ran home to get a plain white skirt that was destined for the Goodwill, and viola!!! New skirt. What fun! Ain’t it wonderful to have neighbors that welcome you to their back-yard events…Oh, you are having burgers!! Just kidding!!!!
