Why. Would. Anyone. Buy? This.

Oh, EW.

I looked at the dude's page from the earlier post you linked to, and GOOD GOD. He's actually got a piece called "Box on Heels." How subtle.

What a fucking creep.

Agreed. And a creep who apparently doesn't have very many female guests.

I mean, that's what I don't get: One buys these things presumably as an expression of male heterosexuality...but it's stuff that squicks out women, very much an adult equivalent to the Garbage Pail Kids.

Reminds me very much of when I was a kid and we were at a garage sale. I stepped inside the guy's house for some reason--I think I had to go to the bathroom or something--and there were ROWS UPON ROWS of porno videos lined up proudly in his livingroom, like they were a decorative edition of the Harvard Classics or something.

The message that sends: "I love to look at women. I just don't want any of them in my house!"


Cheers,

On the context of the blog I want to say "ew, yuck" but I'm fairly certain a frat house in Guelph had a dart board that was boobies on the outside and I didn't really look twice at it.
So either the its only in the context of a feminist blog that it sickens me, or I've learned to be more aware since first year university.

"I mean, that's what I don't get: One buys these things presumably as an expression of male heterosexuality...but it's stuff that squicks out women, very much an adult equivalent to the Garbage Pail Kids."

Well, TH, I think it definitely squicks out thinking women with self-respect who've learned to appreciate our bodies for what they are, not what society tells us they should be (i.e., skinny, unhealthy, and and for men's consumption and enjoyment and nothing else). But it saddens me *how many* women aren't bothered by thing like this. It seems I read more and more often about women going to strip clubs with their male friends (or even boyfriends!) without giving it a second thought. The self-hatred that goes on in modern women is heartbreaking, not to mention infuriating.

I'd certainly walk right out of a guy's apartment if he had crap like that. But then, that's why I don't have a boyfriend (not that I'm complaining, of course -- but men keep doing these things only because we let them, and I wish women wouldn't let their fear of being alone keep them from demanding respect).

Okay, I really went off on a tangent there. Anyway, this guy is just adding to the sum total of hate and disrespect for women everywhere. People like that make me hope there's a Hell.

Kian, I imagine it's the latter :) I know I've certainly changed a LOT since my first year of college.

The only types of guys I know who would decorate in such a way would also NEVER step foot in a place where phallic symbols and men's parts were strewn about for decoration--or such functional reasons, like the liquor cabinet.

But that's because women's bodies are more "beautiful" they'd wink. And, as this "artist" is showing, women's bodies go like this: large breasts and long tiny legs. What a revolution for us ladies! I'd prefer to see maybe a pair of lopsided breasts, or better: one B-cup and one breast missing where cancer had taken it and left a few scars (something for more reaching, in terms of REALLY saying something).

But then again, using women's parts like this? Good craftsmanship?-Fine.
Creative? Original?
No.

This is so not good.

I visited this "artist's" website and his "art" really is quite sickening.

Women are not items for mass consumption.

TLF, I'm proud to say that I have never set foot inside a strip club and don't plan to. Ever. Never eaten at Hooters, either. :o)


Cheers,

TH, yet another reason I like you :)

...Disturbing. Women's bodies being dismembered and turned into objects, and things...it happens in ads and the media, but still, who buys that?

My sister liked Garbage Pail Kids.

On the wall boobs, I think the fact that they're made out of wood adds a whole extra subset of weird.

Unless we've found the Entwives. Cause that would be cool.

It's not fair man. As a woman, how can I use it as a decoration piece at my home. I became very sad and disappointed after seeing such a bad decoration piece. Today, I am to go to give 310-200 exam but that thing disturbed me so badly. I am totally against such a decoration piece and i think ever women should be also against it. So I request to you please do not design and make this further more.
