THE COMMON SENSE ASSOCIATION PRESENTS:

Women are Pictures, Men are Frames

MAYBE YOU NEED TO DRINK THE LEMONADE

By Your Girl Fee

Women are pictures. We are ‘Beauty in the eye of the beholder’, powerful, evoke emotion, can be interpreted/misinterpreted; we are Fine Art walking. Men can be easily compared to frames. They are strong, and best used to provide support. Some are traditional, others are not. Some are fancy, others are not. Of course we are deeper than this in a totality as human beings, but indulge me a bit.

I came across an article called “Here’s proof that your pictures don’t need frames”. Initially, I thought oh this should be interesting. Let me see how the pictures look without frames. Thought I was going to see a lot of different, beautiful pictures maybe turned in a different way or captured in black & white for a different look. Maybe the pictures would be shot from a different angle. 3-D maybe?

But what I saw proved my theory right away. Though these pictures still looked beautiful and had not lost any value, and were not in traditional frames; they were still “framed” in some way. Wasn’t the article entitled “….don’t need frames”? Every single picture that didn’t need a frame still had some type of enhancement, support, around it. Whether they suggested using painter’s tape, electric tape, old wood pieces – the article suggested some type of ‘frame’. The pictures, as beautiful as they were, had frames. Even though the article said they didn’t need frames, those pictures did not stand alone, though they could have.
