As always, thanks to Fenway Partners, Inc. for the camera, although I'm sure they didn't expect it to be used for this.

She should -- look at all the practice she's getting.
What I'm really impresed by is how these artists managed to slip in some T&A ( well, T anyway ) without pissing off the Spanish Inquision.
All I have to say is go here:

I can't tell if it's for real or a very sly parody but, sadly, I think it's for real.
Carol - I clicked on the Baby Jesus and He smiled! Looks like I'm going to heaven. Did you check out the merchandise? Great stuff. I'm going to be doing some Christmas shopping on that site.
Julie - I guess the artists didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition...
Apparently nobody does.
Hanged Dude, Mary has got some rack!
icgkgh!! (that's supposed to represent my response to the gross factor here...) sheesh, Mary, put that thing away! It's like "Mary's-milk-a-go-go!" Ughhh!
Groovy.
Here's an image from the Getty's collection of St. Bernard, one that I was going to use on a little piece on humilty I'm working on, even though I downsized it and there's barely enough detail to make out what's going on. I don't have the date--at work, sorry--but it's striking and modern, no?
"A little piece on humility." Well, that seems appropriate, I suppose, as opposed to a piece on humility that will be a real attention grabber.
I like the picture from the Getty. I can't tell: is she squirting milk, or is she just flashing?
