Simply, artistically and Technically; Marvelous..!

That's why I profoundly hate Photoshop..!!

There is the reason that even when I was in really great shape, wore a size 4, and was healthy, it was never good enough for me. All of my logic and intelligence have trouble combatting what I've seen as "perfect" day after day for my entire life.
Well, I want to see more of this. I want to show my daughter, over and over, why the images of so many women she sees aren't realistic. And what I really want is for us to stop turning beautiful women into drawings and passing them off as real.

ENCHANTING TWISTS THAT BELIE BEAUTY:

Beauty has always been outside of life ... cave paintings, manuscripts, paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, etchings ... all are interpretations of life's aesthetics ... all are models, expectat...ions, and ideals. I've never thought any of these ever disparages the real authenticity of life. Many times, the retouching robs a person of their character and individuality ... and in this theft, reveals what may not have been seen before. Nothing will stop this 'perfecting' being anything but perfect. It homogenises life ... not perfecting it. Look at all the plastic surgeries that have created identical, soulless images. Beauty, at least the beauty that matters to me is what is NOT seen. The greatest artists find a way to reveal this to the world, not conceal it. And, in the process teach the world again and again that our beauty is in our diversity, individuality, eccentricities, and enchanted twists that keep us engaged long after the first encounter.



Statement from Global Democracy
Proposal #9, on December 18th 2011

We all now know that seeing thousands of "perfect" body types in the mass media is having negative affects on young girls and more. Airbrushing as a practice should be discouraged when it transforms otherwise permanent features on models. A "mandatory disclaimer" to state that a model has had her physical body manipulated on a computer is a very simple step in the right direction to addressing the harm that we're causing.

The Slave Market..

Le Marché d'esclaves

The Slave Market

By Jean-Léon Gérôme،

1866

Jean Leon Gerome had visited Turkey, Egypt, Morocco and Syria, creating many paintings on life within Ottoman Empire.. At those times; Women were commodity for sale and buy, with preference for European women..

Total number of European females sold within Ottoman markets exceeds 1,250,000
This is more than all African bought into slavery in United States (800,000)

Many commentators had advocated how Islam encouraged Slavery, permitting Muslims to wed and mate their slaves as much as they can.. Regretfully, such false claims contradict the true essence of the Religion and factual chronicals of times..

Yes, Islam did not prevent Slavery, one of the oldest social codes among humans.. It had considered how it was economically critical at those times, yet no single phrase in Quran or Hadeeth had came encouraging Slavery..
On the contrary; Slavery had ealier declined by the emancipation, which was verdict or a penal tool against some violations..

However, much Muslims turned the activity into formal one using the given legislative opportunity in absence of literal prevention or prohibtion..
As usual, Philosophies and Religious frameworks are not to be blamed to followers ill-interpretations..!



The Waw

The most celebrated letter among Sufis and Turks..!!

No other Muslim nation acknowledge the Waw, nor they taste..

This image of a Yemeni protester being comforted by a female relative is evocative of the famous (Mary comforting Christ) who also had suffered to bring about change through revolution against an antiquated system.
