Having seen several documentaries about real women who still face slavery to this day, no doubt the other way around would have been easier to see as fantasy. The real enslavement of women is still prevalent. It isn't fair, but people have a stronger reaction to it because of this fact.

BTW, I actually had this idea myself and suggested it to my acting buddy, who looked rather frightened but willing, which I think says more about how he feels about me than about the idea :)

Thanks for the kudos. It was my first time working with temporary tattoo ink and an airbrush. Next year will be MUCH better. Maybe I'll get to those subtle little stripes on the Na'vi skin.

There are men in the world who are slaves too, but I get your point.

Can't wait to see what you do next year then!
