"I Was Born in the Wrong Era."

From IMdb:

Former teen pop idol Deborah Gibson is set to finally shed her clean-cut image, after reportedly posing for Playboy magazine. The 34-year-old singer and actress, who has starred in Broadway shows such as Cabaret and Grease since moving away from the pop world, had previously refused requests to shed her clothing for the cameras. In a 2001 interview with newspaper USA Today she said, "I was born in the wrong era. I'm not comfortable with showing everyone everything. I never say never though. I've said I'd never get a tattoo and I got one." According to American columnist Liz Smith, Gibson's spread in the March issue of Playboy will hit American news stands on February 11.

As you might guess from my previous entry, I sometimes feel I was born in the wrong era. There have always been forms of expression considered edge-of-the-envelope, and I applaud those who can and choose to pull them off effectively (pun incidental). Personally, I believe in the power of imagination. Expressing myself—whether in behavior, speech, or writing—is a matter of deciding how much help the imagination needs. Too little help is ambiguous; too much help is condescending:

"I get it. You don't have to draw me a picture."
