Yes, that’s a kitty harness laying next to Nerm, who’s giving me the stank eye. Coincidence? I think not.

This is a shot my friend Becki took of me in SOHO. We saw an amazing art installation at a gallery and as we were leaving, I stopped to snap a shot with my old Nikon film camera. The perspective makes everything look mysterious, I really like it.
Gnarls Barkley makes me happy.
This is Rosie the Riveter. She is a United States cultural icon representing women who went to work during World War II, many of them for the first time. The picture, We Can Do it, is by J. Howard Miller, Produced by Westinghouse for the War Production Co-Ordianting Committee, and was part of a larger effort by the government to change the image of women in order to attract them to the workforce.
The term “Rosie the Riveter” was first used in 1942 in a song of the same name written by Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb.
All the day long,
Whether rain or shine
She’s was part of the assembly line.
She’s making history,
Working for victory
Rosie the Riveter
As women, we owe our accepted presence in the workforce, at least in part, to a marketing campaign.
These are my kitties. Nermal is orange, Pownce is white. I love this photo because you can see that they’re “talking” to each other. And Nerm is on his favorite scratching board. Notice the green tape on the wall behind them. This was before we put baseboards in the condo. It looks much better now. :)
