Controversial Pictures -- for me anyway... I sent out a mass email of our new California-esque house. Which mind you friends and family had requested. But it's kind of an odd thing to do if you think about it. Does anyone really want to see pictures of your house? So I tried to make it a bit funny i.e. Anna Bloviation's-from-California-finds-a-sliver-of-California in New England kind of thing. She shows examples of the truly Californian house she found in the midst of Colonials. And the California-style garden that goes with it (at least in spring and summer before everything goes barren). She shows the California-esque beach that exists up in Ipswich, MA. Here is perhaps where the (internal) controversy begins... The picture of the beach had a picture of me walking on the beach in short-shorts and a tank-top. So what. Right? But when you are doing a mass mailing....It's again a bit odd once you start checking off the addresses to which you will be sending the picture. Mom won't care. Nor will so-and-so friend. Hmmm.... But what about former co-worker so-and-so. Or hubby's co-worker? Or your strange brother-in-law. Oh, what-the-f***. Deal with it. I'm sending you what I think is a funny story. The story of a mad Californian trying to re-create California in frigid New England. She finds a beach that reminds her of California and I'm on it with ass-hugging shorts. And she shows the picture of just how delusional she is i.e. the car-high snowstorm of last year with distraught daughter trying to find the door handle beneath all the snow. And she knows that some will look at the picture and wonder why she is sending a picture of her ass.
