I (virtually) met Hun, a Facebook friend and she talked about her concern for gender identity. During the conversation she also mentioned other interests such as poetry and mail art. I'm sending this to her recent postcard event. *Remember There is no beauty, only attraction?

One thing about the former is that it often causes/applies the latter (look at the previous entry)... /Gundam, unknown source/

Aww how sweet. Let's not be mean today. Such a family really looks lovely - I mean, can be really lovely - I mean, is really lovely, except all the other things are hidden outside the picture - I mean, may be hidden. No, I mean, this is a perfect family with no hidden flaws at all! Good luck, happy mothers! /first Google Images result of "happy mother"/

I did not say "Are all designers male?". Maybe they include homosexual female couples. And let me think in their way: This is just one line of saying representing one type of expression from some people and does not represent all audience. Even if it sounds a little male centered, it does not show signs of patriarchy nor sexism because first, it talks about loving women which is something good and second, it is absolutely alright if they want to target a certain group of male audience for this issue or all other issues. In fact, it doesn't speak to anyone in particular and does not imply any meaning. The text looks good, so "puristic". This is a design magazine! No, there is no contrary to the previous explanations. /Novum magazine 05/09/

Kevin Burg posted a 1938 rejection letter from Disney to his grandmother who applied for a position as Inker/Painter. The letter really speaks for itself, and the beautifully printed Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs plays excellent irony on the man-made dreamland.

My friend Winnifred had a trip to Beijing and mailed me this postcard. On the back a line was printed: The Chinese population amounted to around 450 million in 1949 when the People's Republic of China was founded. Today it has surpassed 1.3 billion. Crowded picture for huge population. Nothing's wrong. But wait, look again. All of them are men! (Well, if one or two tiny heads of women hide somewhere I can't refute) If we replace them with women, it would definitely look wrong immediately, as if there's some special meaning other than population. A picture of men only wouldn't have that problem. Though it mismatches with the reality that a population consists of men and women (and others), it would never look strange because we've been so brainwashed.

This is a picture from my friend Joyce, of her classmates in secondary school (I hope they don't mind me posting). It made her think of ff. Naturally I'm putting it here. Joyce said (maybe casually, in MSN) she was terrified how Form 2 girls back in 1994 knew what hot bodies were. I don't know if this picture shows their concept of hot body, but I'm curious what game they were playing, for there was only one "male". It reminds me of an image in which Tom Ford appears to be the creator of the clothes (called "fashion") and the models. I wonder if it is the case, when women dominate in number, they are usually in a supporting role. Fashion designer and models, doctor and nurses, pilot and flight attendants (formerly "air hostesses")...I can't name a reverse case now. Not that I hope cases are reversed, but one can't deny the P word is still all around.

This is the first "feminist" (it looks so, if I haven't mistaken) postcard that I got since I started postapostcard. Thank you, whoever made it. Since it says it is from Onebeat Social Awareness Network and I could not find information of the group, may I know if anyone knows about it or is from there (or posted this)?
