      <image:title>Essays - Are You a Boy or a Girl? Pt. III - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>A modeling photo taken in 1989, when I was 19 years old and attempting to get work as a model. Whereas I used to see a “pretty girl” when I looked at these photos, now I see a young woman trapped in an image of so-called beauty and perfectionism, trying to be what she thought others wanted her to be. (See Part I and Part II for the back story.)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Shortly after having these modeling photos taken, I took my portfolio around to a handful of agencies in Los Angeles. I was quickly dismissed by the gatekeepers at reception. (My “look” was too commercial and my tits weren’t big enough for that spectrum of the modeling world—I naively aimed for the high art domain, envisioning myself in W Magazine.) Seeing myself as a failed model, I abandoned my dream. I now see this as a blessing, and I’m grateful I didn’t succumb to the pressure to change my body surgically; instead, I focused on my studies in biology and psychology, while paying my way through college as a cocktail waitress.</image:caption>

One of the messages coming to me from this image is how my disembodiment led to a mid-life addiction to marijuana; the birds resemble the pipe I used to smoke, taking flight through escapism in order not to feel what was lurking in the dark shadows of my disconnected body. Of course, the other “light side” interpretation is that our words give us wings. There are multiple meanings to every image.</image:caption>
