Trance Music Makes the Children Dance

The relevance of this piece to my personality is actually very much.  I was asked by a fellow peer why I am balls crazy.  I didn't reply, I simply thought about it for a very long time, and in that long time, I thought, why does a stripper expose herself?  Money?  Or is it some sort of nasty fetish that is a gaping hole that needs to be filled.  So thus came the stripper.  I do not believe that selling your body for monetary gain is at all wrong, nor am I demeaning it, I was simply asking myself a question.

In the literal making of this piece, I used India Ink and Watercolor on Watercolor Paper.  The foreground is a light to dark wash of black, as a dance floor/ bar-top looking spectacle.  The title is not at all irrelavent, but that is something to ponder yourself.
