Conversation with a 7 year old

Her: Guess what happened in School today Mum?

Me: What honey?

Her: Well the teacher had to leave the room so she left us watching something she had taped that she projected onto the white board and during the ad break these naked women with x's marked on their boobies were swing out of poles and one of the girls in the class said "What's that?" I didn't want to say 'Pole Dancers in case they laughed at me.

Me: And......how, exactly, do you know what a 'Pole Dancer' is?

Her: You know how you stopped me from ever playing Rachel's Grand Theft Auto again? Well before that I went into the strip joint once and a woman there asked me if she could do a pole dance for me and she did; all sexy like. (and she wiggles her bum at me and walks away)

Me:

oh my goodness! That's so funny. In the US, you have to be over 21 to get into the clubs...and then someone would probably call Division of Family Services. I'm glad she had such a matter of fact attitude over it!

I've been lurking for a while but this post had me in stitches. We come from a gaming household but now I know I've got to check the boys' games and put some of them under lock and key, away from the little ones. :)
btw...can't wait to see more of your amazing portraits...Let me know when your site is up and running and I'll post an announcement about it on my blogs. You are my favourite photographer.

So someone else is posting this for you because your heart stopped beating and you're six foot under in a box of shock.

Hi Ellen,

I have been reading you for a while.
I also am an artist, mature student goung back to school 2 kids etc, Canadian living in Germany.

I have been toying with the idea of getting a tattoo for a while, and I love the idea of a circle (for many reasons) and I just realized how much I love your logo..the flower wreath with its scrolls. It is so pretty!`
Any chance you would send me the pdf ...I would love it as a tatoo....
