I like how cute and happy she looks on the left, and then the iron-maiden faceless-imprisonment no-one-can-hear-you-scream effect on the right.
With the Egyptian revival aesthetic in the early 20th century, we get Egyptian revival girls. Of course.

I’m guessing this is from Mesopatamia, not Egypt, but whatever.

Ancient Egypt has gone in and out vogue in the West, with some high-water marks in the 1830s and 1920s. I think that erotically, it gives both artists and their audience a sort of free pass on Orientalism, because come on, this civilization has been gone for like 2500 years, so who’s left to offend?

In the past, on this blog, I’m sure I’ve mentioned that child pornography legislation tends to be over-broad and paranoid, and is a stalking horse for other kinds of censorship. Until recently, though, I would have said that anti-child-porn crusades have been sincere: I mean, they’ve been motivated by some real desire to protect children and/or public morality.
Not no more.
The picture above, by Katie Falkenberg, shows the extent of groundwater contamination due to “mountaintop removal” coal mining techniques. It was going to be used in a presentation by anti-coal-mining activist Marie Gunnoe. Bad choice….the coal lobby and their friends in congress have dispatched the police to investigate Gunnoe’s connection to child porn.
Whatever one’s politics re: coal, I think this is a pretty despicable and cynical reaction, and it is probably not the last time we will see such images politicized in ways that have nothing to do with protecting children.

Giraffes are ruminants, which if you think about it means they have to puke into their mouths, which are like seven feet above their stomachs. I’m impressed.
