Here is the infamous poster, as it was intended to be seen. You see, the girls in the company (which was everyone except me and the faculty director), objected to the fact that the girl on the poster had circles as a representation of breasts. One of the girls in the company said "Oh I thought she was juggling balls!" I should have just gone with the ball idea, but instead I said "Women have breasts so the girl on the poster has breasts." In response the the faculty director said "We'll I'm a man but I don't have a penis!" You should have seen the reaction of the people walking through the hall who overheard our conversation. You see, the director was referring to the illustration of the man on the poster that I had modeled after him. (The girl was modeled after the company president who had long curly strawberry blond hair.) To this day, I think that is one of the best out of context quotes that I have ever heard. And I still think that there is absolutely nothing objectionable about the poster. Unfortunately they took a vote and for once in my life, I was dissapointed by the girl to guy ratio in the dance company. So I removed the offensive shape for the printing of the posters, programs, and T-shirts. But in my portfolio, the breasts stay in! Hey that could become my new catch phrase! "The breasts stay in!"
