Analyzing My Sister

Awhile ago VegasBabe invited me to join her blog. Unlike her first invitation, I recognized it for what it was and I didn't repeat my earlier mistake of thinking her invitation was spam full of porn. I accepted, but I've been reticent to say anything because I didn't want to disturb the beautiful aura surrounding this site. But then it occurred to me that perhaps it's also rude for me to accept and then not say anything. I think I've finally come up with something worth sharing. Ta Da!


Okay, so this really isn't mine. It's a picture "drawn" by my youngest sister entitled "Wheeeeeee," and I thought the audience here might be a bit more appreciative of her genius. Of course it's great art, but what I find most interesting about this picture are the autobiographical elements. One of our favorite vacation spots is at the beach in Alabama, where we often like to go boogie boarding. So I'm guessing that's where this picture takes place. I also happen to think that the bikini is interesting since none of us wear them. Maybe there's a little wishful thinking on Lauren's part. After all, the one in the bikini is riding the top of the wave, so it probably represents her.

As you know, Lauren is the youngest of seven, with six of her siblings being girls. But she mostly grew up with her two older sisters and her brother. So maybe that's why there are three girls and one boy in this picture, or maybe she didn't want to crowd her picture by including all her sibling and their husbands. Notice the gender of the person being chased by the shark. Do you get a sense for how she feels about her brother? And what is that black creature floating in the wave? I think it's our cat Bagheera.

Feel free to suggest your own interpretation of this great work. At any rate, I hope that this beautiful tropical scene has added some serenity to your day.
