Portraits of Myself....

okay.
first insert. this book   http://portraits-of-eve.com/   is emerging great lines, inquiry, thoughts, pursuits and wisdoms:

from Jhae Lewis' liberation through fearlessness; to Nadine's
"my grandmother and mother were very careful to instill in me a belief that I should not be proud of anything I did not earn"

"Although I never considered myself a white woman, I was somewhat surprised to be thought of for inclusion in a book on women of color. A bit naive, maybe, but i do not classify myself or others by appearance".

Fascinating.
Does that mean she would look at my cocoa skin and never call, think or refer to me as a black woman?

can you see people's dishonesty when it arrives? valuable matters to ponder, in any case

Getting to Maya, 23..the pic makes me echo this article..."Herb Way makes us look GUUUUUUUD!!!

Yes, Indeedy. He Does!!!

"Yes, I have seen better, but I am content with my body. It's the only one I've got and I wouldn't trade it for the world."

For the second time i am reading that tattoos are life milestone markers

Part Two

"Wear your individuality as a crown" Erika-Maxine

"I think our body is like a house." Sheila
Interesting view that I like and agree; but having been to houses/homes of others, proves an indicative and scary thought

"Beauty comes from within. It's the peace you feel inside, the wisdom that comes with time."

"Imagery is deceptive" Lena

Fascinating to note how all the photos depict the work of each model/person.
"My sensuality and sexuality attracts both males and females" Jessica Mai

Jace
writes the best and most poetic homage of this total collection; but alas, with pdf, copying is not possible "My body is home to a soul"

"...now the thought of femaleness embedded in motherhood seems pretty ridiculous." Mieka, 29

"I was invisible..." Rose

"Love that temple." Jules

As an ode to my own mother, deceased, Christine, living with lupus

"If a man feels good when he is with you he'll stay with you. Men leave physically perfect women all the time. That's because there is no laughter in the bed...no good meals on the table.."  Roz

"My body is a canvas of scars" Robin

"I have often fantasized about being a tree"  Maria



"They also teased me about how often I changed my clothes, (several times a day),  how often I bathed, (2-3 times per day)..." I totally relate to this . And she is Trinidadian to boot. Janelle

I love the business mind and accomplishment of Carol. I hope to emulate and exceed one day

"...and i feel more beautiful today than at any other time in my life.." Rosalind
what a wonderful quote to close this blog on Portraits of Eve...in honor of these brave souls clothed in women's bodies. ;)

Thank you, Herb Way
