- pity one almost never sees contemporary drawings or artwork of fat
- goddesses. most of the goddess drawings i have seen are of lithe
- willowy dears. no muscles, no fat. *sigh* why do our deities need to
- look like fashion models? how come you never see pictures of teh
- goddess as a PLAIN woman, for that matter? or as a not-goodlooking but
- at the same time not menacing woman?
-
- Did you see the picture in the Arisia art show of the triple goddess /
- three fates in the winter snow as three middle aged sort of Russian
- looking women? Rather inconspicuous but amazing bit of work.
