"LOOKS LIKE A WAFFLE HOUSE"

when my therapist asked me why i thought my obsession with the documentary “painted babies” has never waned (i’ve seen it “a hundred times”), i told her that i think it’s because the B.B.C. commissioned masterpiece, about child beauty pageants in the southern states of america, exemplifies the warped sense of values that i’ve witnessed in american culture ever since i was a kid growing up in san diego. for me, “painted babies” is tangible evidence that the world around me is beyond warped, and that i am not as weird as they would have me believe (alas, proof that i’m better than them!). no wonder then that “the emperor”s new clothes” has always been my favorite fable.
