		<description>Ah, sorry Freeman. I think we interpreted your comment as an attack on Kate&#039;s work specifically. Thanks for the clarification!</description>

		<description>Regarding said rebuttal,

My web browser won&#039;t pull up the link to this site (work computer), so I&#039;m not implying that Kate lacks talent.  I can&#039;t honestly say that, miss, having not seen your work. Please don&#039;t misunderstand me.

I was simply referring to a series of images done in menses, by an unknown artist, that I chanced upon several months ago.  I was simply stating that they were lacking in execution, and that the media itself was not sufficient justification for labeling it as &quot;art.&quot;  Forgive me if I&#039;ve elicited a harsh reaction.  That was not my intent.</description>

		<description>Kate, thanks for chiming in.  Learning that the medium is mostly menstrual blood (as opposed to a bit of blood mixed in with paint) changes my mind completely.  For example, &quot;womens&#039; right to vote&quot; (which I&#039;d hang in my daughter&#039;s room in a hearbeat!) wouldn&#039;t have nearly as much impact in another medium.

BTW, did the pics at the Muesum get changed?  I swear they were lower res when I looked this morning.

		<description>Ha.  Kate, I was referencing the so-called &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piss_Christ&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Piss Christ&lt;/a&gt; in anticipation of nay-saying comments.  ;)</description>

		<description>One more thing: Having seen Kate&#039;s menstrual blood paintings in person, I can further attest that the website doesn&#039;t do them justice. You&#039;re still welcome to dislike them, but I&#039;d buy &#039;em. Of course, I&#039;m also one of those freaks who loves modern art (I believe I&#039;ve mentioned my obsession with Mark Rothko before) and would take a de Kooning scribble over a Renior any day of the week, so what do I know. </description>

		<description>I *heart* Kate&#039;s mom. 

(And Kate, of course, but she knows that).

And as someone who has eagerly purchased Kate&#039;s pieces, and worn them on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/jillnic83/122135072/in/set-1233475/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;multiple&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/jillnic83/102668778/in/set-72057594068104563/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;occasions&lt;/a&gt; (and received very positive responses, I should add), I&#039;ll be the first to defend Kate&#039;s artistic skills. But that should be obvious, since I&#039;m already posting about her.  </description>

		<description>And it STILL amuses me that the focus of the Ofili work is on the elephant dung (rolled up in neat balls and lacquered, BTW, not &quot;smeared&quot; as is so often reported) and not the porn-mag hoo-hahs that are all over the damn thing.</description>

		<description>Kate - i don&#039;t care what it&#039;s about (i do, but bear with me), i just really (REALLY) enjoy having the artist&#039;s point of view on her own work: thank you!</description>
