My eyes nearly popped out of my head the other day when I was reading
a book put out by a local secondary school of the art and literature of
its students... pretty ordinary to be frank (:-) but one drawing just
popped off the page. It was a mock magazine cover, with a model with
the most amazingly subtle yet striking sullen and depressed look in her
eyes, with the title of the magazine plastered across the top, Cosmo
style -- "FOLLO".
I wish I could scan it in or something. Anyway, wonderful to know that
not all teenagers are succumbing to society's conditioning.
