New/Old Work [12 Oct 2008|02:00am] lithium_picnic [lithiumpicnic] I redid this image of Ugly Shyla (title: Communion) for a show at Paul Booth's Last Rites gallery in NYC next week. The frame is custom I spent about as much time on the frame as I did working on the image. 19x23 heavy vintage wood frame - archive frame stretched canvas wrap.  The ribbed inner inlay around the photo was miter cut and added by me, also some blue gem points and wood flourishes.  I have some behind the scenes shots and videos of me making the frame I'll post soon. I was so happy with this ghostly, darker, desaturated version I'm releasing a poster version of it as the October LP fundraiser poster soon.  More info and links on that soon. more detail shots here: http://lithiumpicnic.com/photos/shyla/index.html 12 tell mes - blah.

The Perils of Womanhood: Uterine woes and other things to get off my chest... [09 Nov 2008|10:14pm] ___io___ [ mood | frustrated ] I feel so defeated. I know this is might be TMI for some of the guys reading out there, but there are some things I've been facing health-wise that I feel the need to write about -- more for catharsis than anything. One month ago today, I came off hormonal birth control for the first time in 9 years and got a copper IUD (intra-uterine device), and it was a fairly excruciating procedure (the nurse related it to labor pains). Despite the insertion, I have otherwise been feeling great about it, and had almost NONE of the problems that other women who've never been pregnant usually have with them. So today, I go in for my follow-up and the doctor sees that my IUD is not perfectly positioned (it wasn't right after insertion, but she said it would likely shift further into my uterus). Deciding that it wasn't offering full pregnancy protection, she advised I have it removed and petition the company for a replacement if I wanted to give it another go. So, with about half the pain I experienced on insertion day, I had the thing removed and I await the Paragard company's reply. If they don't cover a new one, I will have to pay $655.00 all over again -- not something that's really feasible for me right now. That said, there's reason to believe it will be covered, but I'm still upset by the fact that I've gone through all this cost, pain, and time for nothing. But I'm trying to keep a calm head about it and hold out until I get word. And speaking of getting word from medical giants. In a few weeks, I'll be making visits to several plastic surgeons in Atlanta and then working with the one I like best to petition my insurance company for a breast reduction. I've reached a point where I can no longer take it any more. I was told that my breasts might deflate in the month after going off hormones. Nope, nothing -- they even seem a little fuller. Besides, the doctor said that if they did at all, the difference would be negligible. And last week, after noticing my 34DDD bras didn't seem to be fitting so great the last few months, I go a professional fitting done by an actual expert (not some salesgirl at Victoria's Secret) and I was measured as and fit perfectly into a 34G. A goddamned, motherfucking, freak-sized 34G. I cry in dressing rooms, I fit into nothing, I look far larger than I am, my back constantly hurts, I can't run/exercise effectively, I can't properly perform self-exams, and potential employers and superiors can't see my qualifications because my other "assets" are far too distracting. I don't want little boobs, they aren't me and aren't part of my body identity, but freakishly huge breasts aren't either. I want to be a 34D again, I was so happy at that size -- I was 15 and they fit me perfectly, my back never hurt, I could still wear cute bras, and my wardrobe wasn't dramatically limited, and my breasts were not the defining factor of my appearance. Unless I was showing cleavage, people looked at my face ... I wear turtlenecks now and they still stare at my breasts. I just want them gone. I've waffled on it for years, but now I have 100% certainty. I know that this, like getting off hormonal birth control, is something I must do to make myself happy, to have my body feel like it's mine again. 86 tell mes - blah.
