Is 70s nostalgia worth it? -by morfeas9
Lemon-bitter. I would go to the extreme and call it an attack, quite an unnecessary one. But that’s ok. You loop and go in circles, using the same words/theories/cages because you have no others yourself. Is it really a question of parthenogenesis? So, If we expect the change, we skip a dot that makes up that circular line ourselves first.
Yes, I do lack, but I do express. That’s the burden and you are part of it.
PS: I should get myself arrested then.

souvla and war. -by maria t.
-dedicated to the Dear Architects (maria & demetris):
While sailing in the waters of cyprus (blue lagoon, paphos), I came boat-to boat with “KOULLA”… and souvla. “Make Souvla-Not War!” came to my mind and I laughed..
The date:
august the 14th.
I smell the charcoal
while in the sea…
As my boat gets further away from “KOULLA”, the man raises the “zmila” high up…just like a sword or a gun. Souvla in relation to war and a country are much more clear now, regardless the smoke.

not your cup of tea (the sugar). -by maria t.
“In 2008 a Cambodian woman was made to do community service after kissing a painting by American artist Cy Twombly at a gallery in southern France, leaving lipstick on the canvas.”
A Cambodian-born French woman faces prosecution for criminal damage after planting a kiss on a painting by the artist Cy Twombly, leaving the imprint of her lipstick on the otherwise immaculate white canvas.
The untitled work — three metres by two metres — valued at €2-million, is part of an exhibition dedicated to the United States painter in the southern French city of Avignon.
Thirty-year-old Sam Rindy, who visited the show with a friend on Thursday, told Agence France-Presse that she was so overcome by the white canvas that she kissed it.
“I stepped back. I found the painting even more beautiful,” said Rindy. “The artist left this white for me,” she added.
Staff of the Lambert foundation, which owns the painting, took a different view. They called the police and the woman, herself a painter, was arrested as she left the premises. She will appear in court on August 16 to face charges of criminal damage.

Not your cup of tea -by morfeas9
A Russian woman frustrated at failing to obtain French nationality hurled a ceramic cup at the Mona Lisa but did not damage Leonardo da Vinci’s famed portrait, a spokesman for the Louvre Museum said on Tuesday.
The attack happened on August 2 and the unnamed assailant was immediately arrested. The woman had hidden the ceramic cup in a bag and later told police she had been upset because she had not been granted French nationality. She has since been released, but faces legal action from the Louvre.
Other museums in France have had problems.
In 2007, a man broke into the Musee D’Orsay in Paris and punched and damaged a painting by the French impressionist Claude Monet.
