review:
I wanted to like this so much more than I actually did. Maybe it’s better read a couple at a time over the course of a few months. (Like a website, even.) Maybe I just don’t know some of the text she’s parodying well enough. (Altho I’ve read no Descartes and that one made me laugh most of all!) It was funny, and some of it was LOL/giggly funny. But some of it fell really flat, not that I hated it, but that it didn’t hit for me.

(But really, what I want is a gorgeous coffeetable book of Women in Western Art pieces.)
