It has been said that everyone has a novel in them waiting to be written. I think the same thing could be said for a song, a move or a painting. Many people lack the skill or the determination the time or the iclination to do even one or two of those and in a way, that is a loss both to them and to us. Poser, by allowing people to go beyond the stick figures we drew as children in creating the images in our minds is a wonderful thing. For those who would prefer to dismiss many of those ideas and their expression as beneath their concept of are, well, that's their loss. But, as the late Frank Sinatra repuredly said, "It doesn't matter if it's God or Jack Daniels, as long as it get's you to sleep at noght." If you wake up screaming from as nightmare of pendulous Poser pulcritude, have another drink say another Hail Mary, whatever does it for you.
