what is a Yankee Doodle Dandy ?
In order to clearly communicate all facets of this particular artwork, one must begin with a simple photograph. A photo [fig.1] that was very odd, as it seemed to be a mixture of such “forbidden fruits”: coitus, pornography, BDSM, and a clear signal from the female to all males that she demands to be pleased sexually immediately, and that any number and multiple types of males are acceptable (what is commonly termed a “gang bang”). The woman in the photo was wearing her long hair in the style of a “ponytail”, that is, all hair pulled back tightly towards the back of the head, then secured with a hair tie, ribbon, or elastic band. The hair will actually project out from the head, and it appears very similar to that of a horse’s tail (hence the name). Depicted in this photograph is a young nude woman, yanking her own ponytail tightly straight up and away from her head. As one scans over the woman in Fig.1, you should notice that in complete contrast to the forbidden fruits, the woman is simultaneously projecting youth, beauty, virginity, innocence, and a playful, almost childlike demeanor. While studying the image, there occurred a simultaneous reaction of realization that this exact pose had presented itself several times more in the past few days; a connection not previously made.
