Comments on: Woman's World reviewed in Very Short List http://boingboing.net/2008/04/23/womans-world-reviewe.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Thu, 23 May 2013 09:28:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Bookyloo http://boingboing.net/2008/04/23/womans-world-reviewe.html#comment-172710 Bookyloo Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-172710 Holy crap, is boingboing monitoring my life?? I am reading this right now. Even if it wasn't assembled out of sentences from British women's magazines of the 1950's it would still be brilliant, it's the uncensored screenplay Hitchcock never got to write. The story is sort of a cross between "psycho" and "strangers on a train". In some places you can tell by the typeface that he's pulling whole paragraphs out of articles or "true romance" fiction stories almost intact. I would love to read the source material--there seem to be a few definite themes: descriptions of terrible car accidents, ads for pork sausage, and tips on how to avoid ruinous passions during courtship that can derail a woman's chance for happy marriage. And somehow he manages to make a totally perverse cross-dresser murder-mystery out of it. So cool and fun. It's all cut and pasted, down to the <i>page numbers</i>. I'm amazed that it only took him five years to assemble. Holy crap, is boingboing monitoring my life?? I am reading this right now.

I could review that in a very short list too: 1. More tips on cleaning your house! 2. Cooking for your family! 3. Lose weight! Those are definitely the only 3 things ever on my mind! Sorry... that was pretty off topic. I thought this was going to be about the magazine “woman’s world” which reviles me every time I am in the checkout line at the grocery store.

College is for those of us who can't draw a straight line and whose great artistic talent would otherwise go unrealized. Cool! Have to read/see this.
