Tampon Mona Lisa

Parody Artist and Poet, Dave Morice, discusses reactions to his tampooning of the Mona Lisa from a librarian, and men and women who saw his rendition of the Mona Lisa listed on ebay. This parody presents a paradox of cyclical nature of how women are viewed in contemproary society. Mona Lisa is looking for a museum home where she can be safe and seen, even by people who consider her obscene. Contact Dave at DrABC@aol.com

LOL -- something along this lines just happened to me. If you look on my main channel page I'm holding a chapbook up that has pictures of a woman on the cover. I brought it into a local press to get more made and the woman glanced at the cover and told me, "We don't do THAT kind of work here!" --and told me to leave.

Very funny! It's a great cover and title. How can these people usurp our rights so easily? Where is James Joyce now that we need him?!

This was great! I can't imagine what it would be like to be on the "Tampon Team." That was a hoot! Five stars, and I'm subscribing.

Thanks, Largo! The Tampon Mona Lisa has been an adventure in gender response. Most females who have commented on it view it with a sense of humor, most males' comments express a sense of fear. I was planning on subscribing to your site after I replied to a few other emails. Now is the time.

I am developmentally disabled and make a living an an assemblege artist. I also have a vagina but am not nor have I ever been obesessed with tampons. Your use of the word "retards" is offensive and derogatory and also exposes your lack of intellegengent in a form deeper than can be measured by IQ testing or functionality scores. I doubt that you can adequetely lick an envelop shut! Shame on you!

[raccoonsrule54]

You are a retard, anyone can glue things to a piece of paper. If you had a vagina you would be obsessed with tampons, idiot.

[tisliliana]

hell i hope it sells, maybe for not that much, but damn people need to lighten up, i've seen more disgusting "pieces" of work.

good luck, and maybe a condom piece of art wouldn't be bad either.

It is an interesting sight, but $2600 on ebay? I wish artists were in it more for the work and imagination and not for the money...

[twohawksfucking]

What a terrific discussion! What a funny world we live in--I think it's funny: the world, that is...

The Tampon Mona Lisa is too cool for school!
