Sometimes it's fun to be a TechnoDolt™

Look at the image above.

What do you see?

Is it joe channeling Duchamp?

No, at least not intentionally.

And besides, she's clothed.

But I digress.

I happened on the original of this image — a Chanel ad — on the back page of yesterday's New York Times Styles section.

All I originally intended to do was reproduce it as published because I thought it was very kicky and fun.

But problems with the Times Newstand Reader software (long story short: it doesn't work at all on Camino, my default browser, and on Safari is painfully awkward and unpleasant to manipulate — but I digress once again, don't I?) led to a first cut of what you see above.

I was about to start the very wearying process of making the image look "correct" but then thought, wait a minute — I like mine better.

So that's why it appears as it is.

And no — I don't do Photoshop so don't even begin to go there.

I wonder if Chanel will send me a cease and desist letter....

Well, a man can dream, can't he?
