hveasey: space-dog: This is indeed my favourite picture of Tori - most people seem disgusted but I like the fact it seems so natural, so maternal and earthy and I think piglets look adorable. Probably wouldn’t one suckling from me though… anyhoo, here’s Tori Amos breastfeeding a pig. Obviously the picture was done at least in part for its shock value, and it works really well on that level, but I do like Tori’s explanation of it, that it was her “Madonna and child” bringing the (literally) non-kosher back into the fold. It’s a nice counterpart to her musical attacks on organized religion from the Boys For Pele album like Muhammad My Friend and Father Lucifer. OH so glad this is on my dashboard while I’m sitting here having a crisis of faith and not doing my Russian homework.  I can’t tell you how important Tori was to my original apostasy.  Off to go listen to “Icicle” and ponder how even in the Christian tradition (which, in all honesty, is what I’ve got to work with) there is some room for—integrity?  Maybe.  Being a body and a mind and a moral code and a pleasure center as well.  Something like that.
