>"Feeling for Form". Sometimes you can feel things you can't see (and so can your customers). Have you ever tried closing your eyes and feeling the contours of your vessel? Is it sensuous? Are there flat spots? Tonight we will discuss ways to improve your form. Join us at 9pm for the "Howdies" and we'll start the topic at 9:30 pm eastern.

Look at one of those standing photos of MM or JM from the 50's, compare it with the form of a Grecian urn, and tell me they aren't the same.

>Nah,
Better still, The Doni Tondo a/k/a the Viril Virgin.
Sorry ?, you're s.o.l. on both classical and Reneassance references. Not too surprising, however, since both "societies" were rigidly male-dominated.
Talk to you tonite.
