Hello,
I'm not sure where or who gets this note, but if
possible, would you tell Griselda that I also love the way she dresses and the scent of Patchouli oil on her neck. Thanks, macyaka@auracom.com

How very trendy. Just what we need from Canada's newest, best and most progressive mag for all of who "get it". Artistic license and all, but why don't you grow up, please. Exploiting a 13 year old girl (does this girl have a mom and dad? Or a guardian with some sort of a brain?) to talk about her sexual anxieties in a location any Haligonian will recognize — OK maybe the two or three who can read, and who might chance upon the magazine. In an age of hellishly clever sexual predators (some of them probably classmates or social acquaintances of poor Amelia), what can you be thinking of? Other than "I am ARTIST. Affirm me!"

It's just art, right? No sexual predator would dare take seriously these plaintive musings. I'm sure if that was the case, Mr. Alexander and all the bright lights around him would have thought of it.

A young girl needs adult role models, security and affirmation in a healthy environment, where she can have her femininity nourished and protected.

You have just made her into human graffiti ; I suppose because there just aren't enough women and girls around willing to display themselves in any degrading fashion for a little fame or lots of money and we can never get enough of it.

Or perhaps you think this is real innovation?

What a disgrace to humanity you are for conceiving and carrying out, using your positions of inflence and power as "reputable journalists", this literary and visual grope of a young woman.

Re: Ms. Wells, Quebec City.

Why weren't "chum" and "blonde" translated as "boyfriend" and "girlfriend", respectively?

Also, I'd have to agree with Mr. Tysoe. While I can appreciate that kids grow up faster these days, the use of such young subjects seems a bit inappropriate.

Um, Mr. Tysoe, what are you talking about? Somehow this picture is "groping" this young woman? How do you arrive at that conclusion given the context of the series, and the clothes she's wearing?

Your remarks seem rather over the top. This is hardly ironic Vice Magazine-style exploitation disguised as artistic attitude.

Your concern is noted, but that you somehow think that a "hellishly clever" Haligonian sexual predator will seek this girl out in this location— because of her picture in the Walrus, and her comments about boys— seems an imaginative leap to say the least.
