One of the things I apparently decided to keep is the following image:
It’s a woman. She has rabbit ears. Her name, apparently, is Dorothy. It’s drawn in black marker on an otherwise blank index card. There’s nothing written on the back. I found a few other index cards in the folder that look like they might have been part of the same assignment, but for what class and for what purpose I can’t remember. Most of the images on the other cards look like something I had copied down from somewhere else. Maybe that was the assignment. Maybe I’m a plagiarist.
In any case, this image in particular has intrigued me a great deal. You’d think I’d remember a woman with rabbit ears, especially one who looked rather down about it. If anybody can fill me in on who Dorothy is and where I may have encountered her, I’d appreciate it. I'm half-temped to xerox some copies and post them around the neighborhood with the words "Have you seen this woman?" written on it, if only to see what kind of response it might get.
It's Alice and the White Rabbit's lovechild whom they decided to name after a fellow Little Girl Lost.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, that's as good a guess as any. I'd guess if she were the product of such a union, however, she wouldn't look so pissed and strung-out about it.
ReplyDeleteWell, as children tend to rebel against their parents, I'd say that she has rejected the happy hallucinogens and magic mushrooms of her parent's generation for the heroin chic and occasional oxycontin of more recent times.

ReplyDeleteOh hey! She kinda does. Wonder if I was drawing her?
