About Me

I woke up this morning with a Chihuahua in my armpit. I should have gone to bed three hours ago. I have to pee and my left knee aches a little. I had rotini and marinara for dinner. I actually CAN draw a straight line, but usually prefer not to. Sometimes I do miss the Ritalin. I have sixty-two toasters, twenty-two bowling balls, three 1950's hairdryer chairs, a pretty spiffy old fez, a plastic tooth and a stone thumb. ADD is such a fascinating adventure, in that it occasionally makes you say and do incredibly idiotic things. My art website is julesanslow.com and probably needs to be updated.
They're BAAA-AAAACK! (And front!)

Here's a great article from the Everett Herald about the show:

Everett gallery show elevates breasts to artwork
By Theresa Goffredo, Herald writer
"Hey. Hey there. Look over here. Over here!
OK. There's really no way to keep your attention for very long when there are breasts to look at, so we'll keep this short.
The show with all the breasts is called "The Breasts of the Northwest." It's the first show of its kind at Lowell Art Works in Everett. It opens with a party Saturday where there will be artists, refreshments (even some sexy-looking refreshments) and lots and lots of breasts.
And it's definitely OK to look. And be entertained.… This is art after all.
That's part of the reason artist Jules Anslow organized this breast-fest. She wanted to put on a show where breasts were welcome. She's calling this a celebration of the chesticle. A reverence to the rack.
She's done art with breasts that has been censored (in Seattle, not in Everett). She realized then that it's hard to find a place to show art with breasts or nudes and it was time to offer that. Anslow wanted to help change those censoring attitudes about the boobs.
"Why are we so shocked at the sight of a breast?" Anslow asked. "There are videos with all kinds of violence, but if we see a breast we just lose our minds. It's not pornography but nudity. And in this show, it's not even real nudity, just images of nudity. It's not dangerous."
After all, Anslow said, think about all the various ways of looking at breasts, so to speak.
"They are nurturing, life-giving, fun, sexy … they evoke different emotions," she said. "Throughout life they change and that can be very emotional. I want this show to make people stop and think about the kind of power they have over us."
Seventeen artists have created breasts in all sorts of media. (Jules' note: There are seventeen resident artists in our building, but actually forty-two artists in the show.) Some samples include:
Bob Hoverter, who normally does exotic wood designs of lamps and stained glass, has produced the exotic Dolores Alba who loves "window breasting." Dolores is an all-white torso made from Styrofoam and has papier-mache protuburances.
There's a mosaic torso of Phyllis Titsworth.
A wreath made of bare-chested Barbies.
A watercolor nude by Ursula Stocke called "Flow." A luscious nude called "Sapphire" painted by Kim Loesch.
Two steel pieces from Lance Carlton that are reminiscent of those torpedo-shaped bras. Susan Jensen sends out a message about mastectomies with her painting "Lovely Lopsided Ladies" floating atop a field of boobies.
Anslow has a piece in the show called "Breasts of the Northwest," which is an acrylic on wood of two giant pink breasts that had glommed onto the Space Needle. She also painted "Mr. B," a portrait in which the eyes on the face have become breasts, to poke a bit of fun at men who always stare at women's chests.
"This is a curiously American problem. It's like the forbidden fruit here," Anslow said. "No one ever sees them, so they have become so sexualized. They have this entire mystique, but really everybody's got them. Just lift up your shirt and see."

What if someone told you they ate babies? Would you say, "I see. I just choose not to eat babies, but I don't want to force my views on anyone."

Many of you have asked me why I am vegan, not just vegetarian. Here is one of those reasons (thanks to AFA for the following):

“How weak cows enter food chain”
Emaciated, calcium-depleted dairy cattle are turned into meat

Excerpt: A videotape of crippled "downer" cows being mistreated at a California plant prompted outrage from animal welfare groups, a rebuke from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the plant's closure, criminal charges, a lawsuit, congressional hearings and the largest meat recall in U.S. history.

But the video also has focused new light on a practice that some animal welfare and food safety experts say is an old problem: the use in beef production of dairy cows that are spent and barely able to stand due to calcium depletion from being milked intensively for years. …

Dairy cows that are done giving milk make up about 17 percent of America 's annual beef slaughter, according to the Humane Society of the United States , which videotaped the cow abuses at the Westland/Hallmark Meat Co. in Chino , Calif.

Prices for "culled" dairy cows can be half to about a tenth of the price of a fully fed steer in the beef market. The reason for the discount is that some dairy cows go to slaughter plants in rough shape. Typically, they have often been milked for several years, leaving their bodies without the muscle, fat and calcium of grazing, well-fed beef cattle.

I adopted a cute lil' pirate fetus from Fetusmart! Hooray fetus!
Aaaaaargh! Doing my part to reverse global warming.
