"I loved the way the paint looked when Cassie was finished and it was lots of fun actually playing with the paint on my body to create something new and individual to me!! I had so much fun, and this was by far the best shoot I've ever done!" - Jules
There is a way of looking at a woman that means you understand perception is sight, feeling is sound and the sound of a woman is neither like other women, or feels like a man's opposite. A woman understands herself in connection to the standards of life held over a chasm of hope? No, it is a standard of arms to defend the very existence of the child's proof of life! These are the simplistic ways of being; of being an adult in a world of childish impulses to subjugate women's soul in a masculine vortex. Underlings believing in their subordinate nature to defame a woman's essence think their very thoughts are better than the elusiveness of the feminine.
In this army of benevolent souls the feeling in their righteousness is a fear of ungodliness. Who judges these people are the myths of legends each group of people worldwide learned from beings of other worlds who came to visit, to retreat from their home worlds. To believe otherwise that retreat inspired inventiveness is the beginning of faith in the democracy of choice. If there isn't such a thing nothing was created outside of the imagination of a complexity of Gods and Givers, and there never was a need for sacred text to contain some of the fundamentals of existence! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

"It was also extremely exhilarating to be painted on and become a work of art! It's such a rare thing to be a part of a shoot that lets women express themselves in such a creative way. It made me feel beautiful, empowered, exotic, and playful all at once." - Lora
Such beauty is expression. Deep within white women gratitude isn't enough of a word for a group so small, so delicate in the craft of their souls, and so brutalized by the men they were created with in the distant long ago to live in a land, a section of a continent. How do their lives matter with the ever present memories of how their men kill, and killed the presence of power in their lives' creative expression several centuries ago?
It is the dim gratification of being allowed to be free in the United States that makes white woman seem happy about their status and lot in life! Their men can't or don't kill them with eased morality anymore by law, not by change of heart! For this time period, freedom felt by white women is having power over control over their outcomes in a patriarchy! It is like times never before being beautiful with expression! It is fear over death overcome by hope for a better tomorrow for their daughters and mercy from their sons! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories [June 23, 2017]

"It was amazing. The paint added to my body, and my nakedness let me express myself and personality in a way I feel I have never been able to do in my other photo shoots" - Amanda
Fullness as an emotion of released happiness within a woman's body society, in general, demands she be ashamed of liberates her far beyond the political gains of white women's suffrage movement. How one compares the duties of a woman's body against ideas of how a white woman should look decades after the Victorian era died its death does not mean Victoria's death is Victoria's secret!
It is a puzzle being a woman, but a white woman, from what Black women say; is a fear entombed existence far removed from the perception of superiority supporting the myth of white men's assertions. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories [June 23, 2017]
