Conversation on Facebook with who I hope to and would be very lucky to call a Contemporary.


Seiboldtsdorf Mark : his website <<-- click here please. That... See More’s a great photographic statement Marlena! It's everything! Art, the power of the universe and a statement about health when our nation needs it the most- The fiscal year budget programs just cut out much of the needed health coverage and everything else across the nation- You should be the new poster girl for the power and the energy of the universe! You appear today to be rescuing our nation- The new legend of comic book heroes! I have many of those comics from the early 1960's. Even the dress you have on appears like those heroes wore. That solar energy kinda-thing. I was just ready to make a new comic hero sketch. A female-like master of the universe. You are that image! What a god-send you are! As I've said the before: Artists will save the World! > Listen to this discussion after it archives at 3 PM PST today >

Marlena Simone: (me.)

Wow Mark!

Had no idea that there would be a response like that!

Thank you so much!!!!

When I posted the photo I had no idea that any one would have a response such as this. You are truly good at analyzing images & their meanings.
But... about the time era style of choice... it was intentional.
I crave a rewind to that style of life... but a sort of rejuvenation of women being empowered to make the independant life choices that they desire.
That is my life objective... among other things, to empower women, to nuture the minds of children, and to live as if making a mistake were near impossible when you live with your purest intentions.
Thank you for bringing that out of me.
My influences are great.
