Tongue First
Martin Harper Started conversation Feb 25, 2002
Just read a nice little book called "Tongue First" - woman does slightly unusual stuff, writes about it from standpoint of fashion, society. Kind of like travel-writing, I guess. For example, she shaved her hair off in a bid to understand how people reacted to that, and why hair is seen as important, and what it does to self-confidence.
Good book. Not moralistic, nor self-congratulatory - just thought-provoking. And it's again tempted me to get a tattoo, if only I can get my head round the permanence. Oh, and trade off the various internal desires over what and where it should be...

I was thinking of having a tattoo of a wristwatch. The kid thinks this would play wonderfully with people's heads.
Maybe a Rolex....
