mayden. man ray
/bark bark bark
for the final tribute to my mayden, on our last day of the 30 won in a poetry duel, i offer a crib on possibly one of the most recognizable photographs of a favorite muse of all time:
...."To the normal photographic print Ray has added two violin 'f' holes, pointing out the resemblance between the shape of her back and the body of a violin. The dress and pose for this picture are clearly modelled on those of the main figure in the well-known painting by Ingres, his Turkish Bath...."

Cool. I've run into a blog that uses that same image for her icon, I hadn't known what it was...

This is beautiful! Thank you :)
You have made this one of the most lovely experiences I've ever had...and I think I need to thank Percy for starting it all!

Solarized Mayden. Cool. Classic. Almost as good as the real thing (i.e. a Cora with f-holes).

this one's pretty good - but really, it's hard to decide which is the "best" or rather - which is my favorite.
good news at my roost - come on by - words and PHOTOS are up- first full installment anyways.

They're all fabulous! And this one is truly classy. Looks like Mayden is all you could ever ask for in a muse!

Coming soon to DVD. Jeez dawg, you put all the rest of us guys to shame with your attention to detail and selflessness. I am on my way to Home Depot to get you the biggest IAMS bag I can fit on the trunk of the A3.

Let's put it in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. After all, it belongs there.
