The Vagina Monologues
Poster for two performances of this amazing play:
I’m glad to have been able to use a model (it’s an original photo) that isn’t a supermodel, because it just feels more appropriate for the material. The jeans and black shirt are the “costume” for the play; the purple is from the folders the actors will be holding. I’ll be up front and say that I would have gone for something a little more racy (unbuttoned jeans, for instance), but erred on the side of conservative — Mercer is a Baptist school.
Major kudos to the director, student Calvin McCullar, for making it happen on campus in the first place. (For the second year in a row.) Happy to donate a few hours to this one, even at the last minute.
Heads off to press in the morning. Any suggestions before it does?
Apologies, once again, for the lag in posting. Been mired in what’s become an all-consuming project. Realized I had to break that into pieces and will keep working on; the above was a “break.” More posts tomorrow and over the weekend, however, in celebreation of Foreword’s third birthday.

yep, like the poster. Eye catching and provocative. Just found this site and looks really interesting. Will cruise some more.

It’s really bothering me that it looks like she’s spilling out over of those jeans. I’m sure most of it is lighting and shadows.
Really? What bothers you about it?
I’m asking because it was a very intentional choice not to use someone model-thin and I’d (very seriously) love to hear some differing opinion on that.
Thanks, Jonathan.
Mine is a personal issue. Here in trendy NYC, I see far too many girls/women wearing pants that are too low. Spillage and butt cracks are a near daily sighting. Can’t wait for this “fashion” to end.
