trading post

If you could trade places with a character from a painting, which would it be?

My first thought, was any character from Picasso's "two-sided-face" phase - they can see better than I can, out of both sides of their head.

Then I thought, Venus from Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus", because even though she's naked - and I'm not on with being nude in public (no power on earth will make me tell that story) - she's a little on the fluffy side physically, and so am I. So it reminds me of a time when women of flesh were appreciated, and didn't feel inadequate because they didn't look like emaciated 12 year-olds.

Then I thought, better still to be something out of surrealism, because then my insides would be outside, and people would not judge me by my cover but by what really makes me me.

I think I'll stick with that - some surrealist dreamscape where I can be anything, and still look good. (Except for Jackson Pollock's paintings, because they look like bird droppings.)
