Nice tits, Michelangelo

I love love love teaching. My students sometimes drive me to drink, but I love the reactions and discussions. Today I am subbing for my friend’s class, as well as teaching my own, creating a day that starts at 8am and ends around 9:30…with loads o’ driving in between.

However, I’m totally cool with it because as a narcissistic beeyotch, I can’t wait to talk to more people about this:

Muscley, kind of dirty, bound slave.

And then, this:

That’s one dying slave who is hot to trot, if you know what I mean.

I also have a strong NEED to talk about this:

Mainly because of these:

    It never fails. Someone always says, loudly, in class, “Professor Art Nerd? Why are the boobs/tits/tata/jumblies/whatever slang they’re using these days so… WEIRD?” Le sigh. I’ve never thought up an appropriate response, I just make some lame boob job jokes.

    I would be one of those students! And now, I POINT THEM OUT. But I am one who really really really likes oddities in art and well, sexual things in art.

    Appropriate response: Michelangelo was not a fan of women. Used men as models for women’s figures. Just sort of stuck breasts on, instead of carefully modeling them as he would say, testicles on a man. The Sybil on the Sistine Ceiling, all bulked up? Has NO jumblies at all, even though by the angle you should be able to see them.

    Hmm. So Mick was into the slaves, was he? Well, well. (Insert slash joke here.)

  4. Melissa Says:

    Or, I should say, appropriate response for my class…sheesh, so bossy I am!

  5. Lindy Says:

    I love opening your sight and seeing “Nice Tits” You just made my day. That is great! LOL!

  6. Theresa Says:

    I always want to say that those boobs are really two halves of a giant nutsack.

  7. Melissa Says:

    Theresa, you are probably dead on!

    I always think they look like a water balloon, badly thrown and stuck, with the tied off end as the nipple.

    But nutsack is probably more of what MickeyB was going for.

    […] I am saying, you will write an essay on THIS SLIDE. THIS ONE RIGHT HERE. WITH THE WONKY BOOBS. […]

    Excellent response, Melissa. I have never seen a woman with a six-pack quite like that, either, have you?

    (sigh) I wish I could be a fly on the wall in one of your classes.
