Sometimes a banana IS just a banana.

From the Fauxhaus Blog:

The Emperor's Wife Has No Clothes... 

"New York (AFP) - The New York Post on Monday ran a front-page picture of potential first lady Melania Trump naked, prompting criticism on social media and charges of misogyny."

As Althouse commented in an earlier post: " I've spent hours and hours in classes with nude models. It was considered a serious and lofty activity."

Now, the introduction of props might confuse matters a bit, but sometimes a banana IS just a banana. 

Not that a banana was involved: the missing banana is simply a metaphor for the usage of a banana as a symbol. And isn't the exhibitionistic outrage of some just a symbol of outrage, false outrage as a fetish of desiring real outrage?

Or -- as Dylan might have said: "But even the Wife of the President of the United States Sometimes must have to stand naked..."

ADDED:

Woman Eating a Banana. (SFW)

Is this Art? Pornography? Advertising?

All three, depending on the Viewer?

Or is Advertising Pornography in itself?

And is Art simply Advertising, as in advertising the talent of the Artist?

Can a woman eat a banana without being imbued with sexual context?

These are questions for considering when you drink a banana smoothie free of innuendo on your way to work this morning....
