Yes, it DID take ...Thanks, Liza and everyone else. Yes, it DID take a great deal of work to create this presentation. It's occupied much of my creative energy for the past two weeks. I was reading the submissions as they came in, which gave me time to sit with each article and set of ideas. I had a basic template I created in a blank document for the format, and a day or two after I read each piece, I'd think about it, what stood out about it, and from that would come the "favorite lines" and, eventually, what kind of image I thought would bolster it. <BR/><BR/>I have an enormous set of image files that I constantly add to for use on my own blog. I think visual supplementation to good text make a profound difference in the readability of a blog, and there's just too many good artists out there to be using crappy clip-art or commercialized pap. Especially for radical text. So I had images at hand when it came time to look for a graphic match.<BR/><BR/>However, both the selection of the "favorite lines" and the images took editing one step further than simply choosing which pieces to include in the Carnival. I've done a lot of editing and critiquing of other people's writing over the decades -- I was one of the poetry editors for <EM>Common Lives/Lesbian Lives</EM> in the early 1980s, for example. To do it well requires more than confidence and expertise with language. It requires love. <BR/><BR/>Those of you who know me know I often quote Che: "At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that a true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love."<BR/> <BR/>I realized this process was similar to assembling a women's journal back in the 70's, something that would get printed in small quantities on offset presses and mailed out across the country (or perhaps internationally) but whose impact and durability would be unmeasurable. The means of publication now are exponentially easier and reach any place where governmental interference plus economic deprivation have not closed the cyber door. And once it's on the web, darlings, it's there forever. <BR/><BR/>It was profoundly exciting and moving to be a part of this distribution. I was reading GREAT stuff, and I got to be the one to shine a brighter light on it. All the hours and attention to detail became joyous as a result. (Yes, even the pieces putting forth ideas with which I don't agree. I'm too old to believe I have all the answers any more.)<BR/><BR/>So, honestly, it was my honor. My chance to grow and learn. This Carnival is a brilliant, vibrant entity, glory be to Heart. And I encourage any of you who want to feel a deeper level of participation, sign up to host. Set aside the time to do it the way you'd like to see it done. As Liza's ex sang to us eons ago, "Woman's love makes the world go round." Experience the spin for yourself.<BR/><BR/>P.S. Kat, or anyone else gifted in languages: Can you give me/us a precise translation of the "Obriu el ulls" billboard graffiti?<BR/><BR/>P.S.S. Pisaquari and Amy's Brain Today, I've corrected the misattribution. My mistake, and thanks for bringing it promptly to my attention.Maggie Jochildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07577090500862823864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3576716365575919550.post-2574629136730990152008-05-13T19:01:00.000-05:002008-05-13T19:01:00.000-05:00Gosh Maggie, you did a great job pulling this toge...Gosh Maggie, you did a great job pulling this together. What a lot of work it must have been.<BR/><BR/>So far I've only read the article about airbrushed magazine covers, but that was great. <BR/><BR/>Even though I photoshop my self portraits - yes, I'm that vain - I'm still in shock that photographers, art editors and retouch specialists retouch the life out of every woman in the public eye.<BR/><BR/> It's like a cultural addiction. The more botox, surgery and photoshopping we see, the more we have to do it to look "normal" and then to look super-normal celebrities have to go - or be taken - to another level. With never ending recursive feedback loops like this, who knows what women will look like in the next few years.<BR/><BR/>there's one ad on tv now, for mineral powder makeup (ok, I wear it, but a different brand) that has a baby all photoshopped and made up to look smooth. Yes, an infant. It's sick, I tell you. How could anyone want a baby to look smoother? By definition, they are the epitome of smoothness.<BR/><BR/>The mind boggles.<BR/><BR/>thank you Maggie.
