IVIV (1) Show Business Yearnings

[kelber at mindspring.com]

1. Alright, I've been subjected to the Rorschach Test way too many times, so it's no wonder that "Bigfoot" jogs my memories of Card #IV, often called the Daddy Card.  Like some people (the most twisted, no doubt), I always focussed on the big feet or boots of the apparently wolf-like creature (pointedly NOT making any genital references).  It's repped to be the card that deals with daddy and male authority-figure issues.


"A card with only black ink formed in a triangle-shaped blot. The two lower corners are often described as shoes or boots. This card may also be seen as viewing a person from below or a male figure with an enormous sex organ."

2.  I trotted out this Sylvia Plath poem during the Lake discussion in ATD (or was it the Frenesi discussion?), but it also seems apt here:

particularly:

Every woman adores a Fascist,
The boot in the face, the brute
Brute heart of a brute like you.
