an iconic image from the LONDON RIOTS... beautiful and haunting....

photographer unknown...

one of the many facts about frida that fascinate me is that she changed her birthday from 6 july 1907 to 7 july 1910... not to make herself 3 years younger, but to have her birth coincide with the start of the mexican revolution...

very cancerian to re-invent yourself, to your liking, for your purposes...

i also am humbled by the fact that she was a july born cancer and her life-long love, soulmate, and inspiration (diego) was a sagittarius... bitter-sweet.

victims of RAPE and SEXUAL ASSAULT fight back, by taking control of the offense, spelling it out for public consumption, and regaining control of their bodies and minds. reminding the masses that no matter how women are dressed, how drunk they may be, how late the hour, how wild the behavior, RAPE is an act of violence that is PURELY and SOLELY the responsibility of the offender.

NO MEANS NO!
