    Jared is showing an appreciation for women with these b2b tweets (Yeo painting restoring womanhood & Obamacare for women’s health) That’s cool :)

  • memew

    • Mmmeeee!

      some days i think i would do it-not to wear a bra & be all perky all the time then i think they would get in the way since mine are good size…but if it makes the person feel better then i am all for it

    “Emphasis on human anatomy.” “No two sides of the human body, are equal in size, length, proportion.”

    • GH

      that’s true, there isn’t perfect symmerty (yet) however the closer the symmetry directly proportionate to perceived beauty

  • Be my Guest

    art is in the eye of the beholder.
    I think it’s a very strange painting, It’s not even beautiful, It’s strange, it has no meaning.

  • Be my Guest

    What is the purpose of life? reproduction, but what for?
    Are we all tools to create new life?
    Or is there another purpose of living?

    • Be my Guest

      I just watched the great movie “Mr. Nobody” and it made me thinking about life in different way.

      • Outraged

        I’ve never seen that. If we are here for reproduction only, then I serve no purpose. I will watch it. Thank you.

  • Natuka

    even boobs photo can’t cover up ur fagnass :D ur still a fag in my eyes haaaha

  • Outraged

    I just don’t like to be reminded that I’m female.

    And I’m the world’s biggest prude.

    Apart from that, fabulous news about healthcare provision.

    Don’t be like me; go for the checkups, and enjoy your body.

    But you don’t need the Jack the Ripper improvements :)

    You are such a boob man!!! ;) Can’t deny it

    Holy sh…!!!

    I can’t believe the night is already over and I haven’t seen my bed yet.

    After I’ve updated my blog yesterday I started watching & listening to some playlist made by the owner of my ♥ and of course I ended up thinking a lot. Obviously I totally forgot the time again while doing this. I’m always anew fascinated how much I like his choices, visually as well as musically.

    Too bad that some of the songs are private again. :(

    My newest realizing afterwards is that I love Sigur Rós more and more each time I listen to their wonderful music of the spheres and that I still cannot stand the voice of Tom Delonge, allthough I like the music.

    Speaking of ‘Sigur Rós’…

    I have a really nice memory regarding their music I’d like to share with you.
    As you know I’m a fan of Irelands finest actor. Of course I watched ‘Ondine’ at the cinema two years ago and I was in raptures about some parts of the soundtrack. When the film was over we stayed during the credits, which is a habbit of mine.

    So I learned to my joyous surprise that two songs were by Sigur Rós and as I later checked on You Tube, it had been exactly those songs I liked so much. Besides for some reason I liked the fact that the music of one of your favorite bands was part of a film with your former co-star.

    Don’t ask, it has something to do with the fact that the chemistry between the both of you was obviously right (says my gut). Therefore it would have been just logical & natural for me if you would have become friends after the work was done and if it would have been a friendship which was built to last.

    Hmm…, like I said, I have some strange thoughts sometimes. :)
    I hope you don’t mind.

    Oh, good morning Starshine by the way, ;)

    Sorry, I guess I’m a little bit out of it at the moment, thanks to the lack of sleep.

    Anyway! :)

    How are you this morning?

    I like the painting and I still wonder where the second has found its new home.

    Speaking of breasts…

    Did you know that there are women who can come only through the stimulation of their breasts to orgasm? It is a rare phenomenon, but it exists. :)

    Nevermind!

    I just googled Mister Yeo and got lost on his website for a while. Another reason why I’m that late with my comment. But, I even know the name of your painting now. ;)

    Reading the name had an eureka effect on me since I always thought it looks like an exchange into a bigger seize.

    In his Biography I learned to my surprise that Mister Yeo and I have something in common, which felt weird to me. Especially since I don’t believe in coincidences, as you know.

    And now for something completely different… ;)

    I love photos of you like the one you’ve posted on the MARS facebook page.
    Photos, when you’re so lost in your own world while full focused on your work.
    Oh, to be a fly on the wall! :)

    So, before I say more stupid things, I better wish you a truly good night, mon amour.
    Sweet dreams & sleep well!

    Gute Nacht, lots of love & feel yourself embraced in an x-tra long lovingly virtual hug. ♥Xo

    Dear Jared

    I saw only the obvious again. I was wrong to say, too, that people don’t need the Jack the Ripper improvements. Because maybe sometimes they do, for all sorts of legitimate reasons. And if it improves their lives, then that can only be a good thing.

    And some may have no choice, and the surgeon will have to make his marks to cut out the cancer. That’s why I think your president is a great man, bravely moving the country towards better healthcare for all. And I hope people will support him, like you do. And people must look after their bodies, and love their bodies, and enjoy them.

    And maybe I can do it, too.

      Breast cancer is a plague that strikes women more and more.
      I have the mother of a friend who is fighting against it in this moment. And one of my cousins​​. Last year I made 6000 km to go seeing her. And I stayed just a week, it was very tiring …. but how could I complain …? She is a mother four children, Grandmother of three small children, nearly four :) , it is the company’s accounting of her husband, and despite the cancer, she continued to juggle everything. When I went to see her, she had kept telling me that the chemotherapy had already taken all her hair. I was shocked at the airport, I immediately realized that she wore a wig.
      Treatment with chemotherapy was finished for a while when I was visiting him. Like this painting, she had marks on her chest indelible traced, not for cosmetic surgery but radiotherapy. When she came home she was very sad to have these paintings on her body, this stigmata! I remember the exact day: December 6, 2011. And yes, the first day of the 30 Seconds to Mars show at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC. It was a “White Night”.
      Seeing how she was sad, I told her like an idiot “You’re ready for the show!” with both arms up. I managed to make her laugh at once it was I who had tears in my eyes. One of her daughters, bought me a ticket for the show, my Christmas gift in advance. My cousin was lovely, we spent much time on the phone before and after the show: she wanted to know if everything went well, if I was happy :) . We waited outside in the rain before to enter to the room, which is absolutely beautiful. We were soaked to the bone … lol
      The next day, she watched the beginning of the show with me via VyRT. The humor of Jared made her laugh a lot ;)

      # Obamacare had not yet voted. Health has a price. My cousin has the means, because she and her husband were working hard at it. But this is not the case for everyone. In Europe, health is a right. But this is not the case everywhere and we often forget that. We only see that what we lack and we complain and we forget to look around.

      Fortunately, medical advances mean that today more and more women can be cured without the removal of the breast. To my cousin, the question has arisen. Femininity and the representation of women spend a lot through the breasts. So fortunately that cosmetic surgery is. Unfortunately, it saves appearances but does not heal the wounds of the soul …

        Dear Off Air

        What you have said has touched me deeply. I know, too, that these women suffer mostly because they are frightened to leave their children behind. And the father or partner suffers because he/she feels so powerless to help.
        And many people have to fight this dreadful disease on their own.

        You have such empathy. Unfortunately life will bruise you more because of it. I send you much love. And I will have a little more appreciation of Jared’s humour. Something I didn’t really get before.

        • Off Air

          “You have such empathy. Unfortunately life will bruise you more because of it”
          You don’t know how much you’re right.

          (and my work choice is not a coincidence)

          • Outraged

            Then what I wish for you is someone very special to come into your life. Someone who will replenish all the love you expend on others, someone to hold you up and give you strength; and who will cover you in kisses.

          • Off Air

            You touch me deeply
            Thank you so much Ari

          • Off Air

            I don’t understand the quote, problem of translation. That means if you make a wish do everything for it becoming true, that’s that?

      • Red

        All cancer is awful, not only for women but men also. Which is why it is so sad that we live in this world, where vanity seems to be more important than health.

        • Off Air

          I agree, I would say that all disease is terrible. And as pointed out Ari it is not only the sick person who suffers, but also all those around and love this person.
          I know personally and in both point of views.

    • Cj14clevenger

      I really love what Off Air said: “In Europe, health is a right. But this is not the case everywhere and we often forget that. We only see that what we lack and we complain and we forget to look around.” My mom is dying of Cancer. Its gone everywhere except her breasts. Can you believe they’ve been researching Cancer for over 40 years now?

    Jared still has to learn to frame his photos :)

    Good morning Starshine, ;)

    You slept well?
    I hope you had fun yesterday at the HardSummer fest.

    In case you’re wondering why I’m here now, it’s just because I want you to know that I’ll log me out for today since I stayed awake all day and my body demands some rest now. Therefore I’ll listen to some music and then go to bed early for a change,

    Have a wonderful day, be good to yourself and enjoy whatever you’ll do, mon amour. 

    Lots of love & a long warm-hearted virtual hug for you. ♥Xo

    i gonna be original and say tha that painting is weird (in a good way)

  • http://twitter.com/ganayllian ganayllian

    Technically brilliant, conceptually hideous…

    I already commented on Twitter with :”This looks like my pre-op body”. I’ve got BRCA2, a mutation that would give me like 80% to get BC. Given my family history (my mom died when I was 18) a matter of time. I had my breast amputated preventively 14 years ago (I didn’t have cancer yet), had a implant switch a year ago. Am stil kinda recovering from the last boob-swop.
    I’m fascinated by these paintings, they touch all kind of things inside of me. People always tell me my case is different from cosmetic surgery. Even the nurses in the hospital started treating me different after they understood my case.And I hated that. Of course this is different, as my case is different from those who did get cancer. Some people are empathic saying breasts represent a woman’s feminity. I don’t agree totaly with that, despite my choice to have the surgery. (if I could only have had external protheses I wouldn’t have wanted that) I believe my feminity lies in my head, my heart and my guts, not in my breast or (removed) ovaries. Let everyone decide what is important for her and let us all please stop judging. Most of us don’t even know what we’re talking about!

    • Eve

      Thank you for sharing your story. I had similar thoughts when seeing this painting. Questioning from where we derive femininity and what is beauty, I agree that it lies within head & heart and with the adage, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. Also, I understand that though labels are necessary to an extent, our world is so fast-paced,filled to the brim as we are inundated by images to persuade or condition the formation of the concept. Beauty & femininity become a flat, 2 dimensional glossy image. I had read Naomi Wolf’s Beauty Myth and more hardcore Greer when I was a teenager which of course made me angry but opened my eyes. It’s good to ask, “what is beauty? what does it mean to be a woman? is that my experience or somebody else idea? if so, do i agree with it? is it making my life more full?” There is so much more beauty in the world, in people than those with which we are inundated that it can blind us to the beauty. Femininity & masculinity are constructs created by society towards social order dictated & perpetuated by transmission of culture. In U.S. our culture is quite unique and challenging as it assimilates so many people from other cultures, with wide-ranging backgrounds. The minority groups seeking equity, the majority (ideally) seeking balance and effective democracy yet strive for betterment; the next generation to do better than the one previous. Wherein the difference lies, a freedom/liberty should be present “pursuit of happiness” a core value that gives each the freedom from strict adherence to prescribed roles. In other words, governance doesn’t dictate/demand strict adherence to “roles” however whether citizens or corporations impose it is another story.

        Thanks for your reply, you put it in such beautiful words. I agree (and also read Greer, read articles about Wolf) ;)

        “what is beauty? what does it mean to be a woman? is that my experience or somebody else idea? if so, do i agree with it? is it making my life more full?”

        For me being a feminist it also means that every woman has the right to choose what that means for herself. *hugs*
