Unsavory Women of Myth - 2001
 | MEDUSA If only Medusa could see what is considered unsightly today…We take our appearance far too seriously. Medusa has helped me accept my big Sicilian nose, which she is sporting in the painting! |
 | EVE Madonna as Eve. If there is anyone in this day and age that has sacrificed her reputation for self-knowledge, for me, it's Madonna Ciccone. If the snake had not been there to tempt her, Madonna would still have done anything to get that which she could not have! To reveal that which is hidden from us. Mission accomplished. |
 | MARY MAGDELENE The whore with the heart of gold, the repentant bad girl. She washes the feet of her Christ with her lusty long hair in reverent piety; hence cleansing herself of sin and emerging anew. |
 | WHORE OF BABYLON The degenerate whore of St. John's Apocalypse; bloody, filthy, and riding a beast with abominations written on its body.. Well, chalk it up to my Catholic upbringing… Scary. And effective. |
