The pictures Xenia took the other day of her friends in porn prom dresses was for her English class. Here are the results. It’s Grimm’s Fairy Tales interpreted by Xenia. I’m amazed. I could never write poetry or do artsy type stuff. And I hated all my English classes–too many arbitrary rules to remember with too many exceptions. It just didn’t make sense to me. Give me math and science any day. I sometimes wonder if Xenia is my daughter… but many people tell me that she does resemble me. And of course when she sits on my lap and talks to me about things there can be no doubt.

When your original comment about “lesbian porn” was posted a week or two ago, I was somewhat taken aback because Xenia’s images never struck me as anything of the sort. I was perplexed and had no idea why you or anyone would place her work in such a category.
Xenia’s photo montages did, and still do, strike me as organic images that pay great attention to light, texture, background, and foreground, while revealing naturally occurring beauty (nature and human) that tells a story, with or without words.
Hardly lesbian porn.
But that’s just my opinion.

To make sense of it you need to read these postings in her Live Journal:

Reading the comments is optional in the first but mandatory in the second. My postings should make sense then. If not, let me know and I’ll elaborate.
