Ann Coulter: Just a Little Girl at Heart
New fodder for armchair psychoanalysis: Ann Coulter. As an adult, Ms. Coulter's pose couldn't be more guarded, more defensive (in which the best defense is a good offense). The other way to understand this image, though, is if "Ms. Right" is simply a little girl. The bow on the shoes suggests that. The stockings that seem like tights also say so. The overall posture reflects it as well. As opposed to an adult who sits back and lets the camera take them in, young Ann looks like the little girl who comes into the photography studio and doesn't know how to sit, or needs to know what she should do. To this end, the gaze can also be an intense search for direction. The awkward scale reflects it also. All legs and head, arched forward with her feet hanging down into white space, she might as well be perched in a high chair. Related: Coulter pissed about the photo, Kurtz chat participant pissed about the photo, Drudge possibly pissed about the photo. Unrelated: The family in Newsweek's cover story remarkably not pissed that the family on the cover looks nothing like them.
The two little girls on the cover look rather girl-ishthe long hair, the carefree poses. What are they trying to say in this photo, really? Email This Post |
