But my two American friends are always banging on about how good it is, and they both dress far better than I do, so I'll probably check it out at some point... #marisamiller

These are the same sort of people who pay homeless guys to beat the shit out each other, aren't they. #marisamiller

"No, I’m not interested in a Michelle Obama-inspired, stretch satin, office-party ‘mistletoe moment’ dress, thank you very little."
We can't all wear "Frankenhooker" boots to work Cintra! Some of us like collecting cardigans and wool skirts--preferably ones that cost less than $100, thanks.
Also, I love the Kelly reference. #marisamiller

I have such a major girl-crush on Freja Beha Erichsen. #ragtrade

Was she misquoted? That sentence is so awkward it becomes contradictory. #ragtrade

Agree. O'Keefe's art is proving to not only remain commercially successful, but withstand the test of time. That's the truest test for any artist—longevity, and if their voices can speak across the spans of time and still remain loud and clear.

So basically, Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings were essentially Megan Fox's quote about men fearing "a powerful vagina", but prettier?

There's other themes in her work, too, though, like how organic forms, when blown up and zeroed in on, resemble each other, linking the human form back to nature in a way that's not just sexual. Kinda how Chuck Close used circles that, when pulled back, are a portrait, it can also be a play on depth of field as well.
As with all art, there's is no "wrong" answer. What you see and get out of it is as valid as any explanation any artist can supply. O'Keefe just gave words as a base structure with which to view her work. Take from it what can, or want, or don't, and that's about it. She simply saying, "this is how I may see it at times".
Stieglitz was forcing her to put it into a "box" (pun intended) probably thinking it would make her art sell better, like the old adage says "Sex sells", but her work is deeper than just genitalia. It's masterful in terms of her colors, shapes, and compositions.

2) I feel that at least 65% of my Jezebel comments contain the word "vagina."

(actually, in all seriousness, that is how I first found out about O'Keeffe as a kid. So thanks, Ann M. Martin!)
