    I don't know how familiar you are with Kathleen Hanna's writings, but you should definitely check some of them out. This is a written piece by her.

    There's a site I had at one point that as a lot of her poems and writings on it. I'll try to keep looking though.

    p.s. dont forget cindy sherman

    so, surely you have read or flipped through this book?! if not, OH GOD DO IT NOW:

    "bitches, bimbos, and ballbreakers: the guerrilla girls' illustrated guide to female stereotypes"

    http://bit.ly/fvAyr (on amazon)

    for a while, they sold it at the mica store, and they probably have it at the library. an excellent mix of snarky and scary accurate.

    I just was looking at Yoshitomo Nara's work and thinking - Ah ha! Girls and cuteness. Caro's blog!
