The Tyranny of the Esthetic:
Surgery’s Most Intimate Violation
by Martha Coventry
This is not a comfortable read. This will make you squirm.However it is worth reading into, considering we think, NOT in our time, NOT in OUR country? Women and men are still being marred by Doctors who convince parents that the organs they are born with are WRONG in some way, creating a lifetime of pain, and suffering, to sound a bit dramatic.
Natural Causes by Peter Feibleman
Its cheating. Why? Same Subject, different story, just as powerful, just as painful to read. Read it anyway.
Beauty and the Beast :
On the unacceptability of ugliness.
By Jessa Crispin
Harping a little more on our Femme issues, here is a dual Book Review on two books that take on the subject of UGLY. I’m not 100% onboard with the typical feminist rhetoric, however, I do love her weaving of shame, change, and how we feel into a book review. Its all GRRRL power and stuff.
“It’s easier to follow the rules than to overcome your shame of being unfuckable.”
Fate, Folletti, and Other Creatures of Legend
by Raffaella Benvenuto
This entry, another wordy readery one, is well worth the lighter faire. It has a beautiful overview of the mixed culture of Fairy that lay in Italian Culture, and tidbits that will send your inner trivia and Fairy Chasing buff over the edge with excitement! (or am I the only one that has those?)“Just like its English and French counterparts, the Italian word fata comes from Latin Fatae, which is the feminine form of Fatum, “fate, destiny.” This was another name for the three divine sisters, Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos, called Moirae in Greek and Parcae in Latin, who presided over the fate of human beings, spinning the thread of life and eventually cutting it. Fate are likewise supernatural beings, possessed of equally supernatural powers — though their human appearance can often deceive the protagonists of fairy tales and lead them to committing near–fatal mistakes.”
