So she may have given him an apple to taste. Get over it, all of you. He'd have found a way
to fall on his own anyway.

She does not keep a tidy house, but she grooms both pussies there so that should do. What the hell? She wasn't made to be a dutiful maid.
She prefers windows without shades because she has an open mind. He should appreciate that instead of asking her to report to him what the weather looks like outside. She will happily stay up inside her open mind, thank you very much, and do you think she is

some fucking weather predictor or something?
Good heavens, he has been hell to live with since his physical, something about his ribs.
Oh, good god, no....not braised ribs! You think she was created for creative cooking?
She has been giving much thought to what exactly it is that she was created for.
She no longer trusts the snake for advice
but she's thinking that the armadillo-mouse hiding on the counter

by the coffee grinder just might know. She'll even let him have the run of the place
if he will tell her which way to go to get out of this hellhole,
and if he gets it right he will be the apple of her eye.

Hello! I like how you play with the smallest details in the picture. I too write from Eve's perspective. Nice work.

Great take Lydia- I love the open mind concept! good one-thanks.
Not heaven or hell but somewhere in between !, like my place
something about his ribs...you'd think she was created for cooking...ha....fun, but def with a point as well...nicely done lydia
Awesome, awesome ~~~ I think you should give us an encore!!!
There is so much 'material' in this painting!!
bravissimo...this is such a treat!
You saw all the details...and wove them so cleverly! Love it!
It speaks to the patriarchal origins of most religion...brings a certain irony to the idea of the 'spare rib'...I mean what woman wants to think they were made out of a rib some guy didn't really need? Time to upgrade the metaphors (With all due respect,maybe You were having a bad day..) ...I am just a lowly mortal, I admit...but honestly that doesn't fly anymore...
my cmment was to god, not to you...
Sharp, clever, and written beautifully. I love your creative take on this work of art. Eve is one tough lady!

This is one hell of a good piece! You touched on many issues that have made women realize they are not for men's use. -- barbara
