Greetings from Alaska!! I love your work but I think I already told you that :) Can't waite to get the paintings! So anyways here is an unhappy story to brighten your day :)
Cerdine cuts off her breasts
Cerdine cuts off her breasts Hand embroidered cotton
At a certain time in a certain kingdom a young woman named Cerdine who was the most beautiful woman in the kingdom, gets raped by her father three times and has three sons of their union. She is then blamed by the village priests for seducing her father, and is kicked out of her village. As you can imagine she gets mad, not because of being raped or for the accusations of seduction, but because her father will not acknowledge her children as legitimate heirs. Well any ways she takes of the kingdom and at the end the horny old bastard is going to try and rape her again. She wipes out her knife and instead of stabbing him, cuts off her breasts. She throws her breasts at him saying, “If you like the taste of my flesh so much eat these!" Then she turns into the son and him the moon. The End. (Celtic Folklore)-Retold by Annie Aube
I hate to say this, but I could have made that Flaming Lips dream of yours come true twice. Once at ACL and once in LA. Next time it happens I'll give you call.
