1. Seriously, the Scientologists are everywhere! For those of you who do not know, I worked for the Scientologists, though I never WAS a Scientologist. Long story short, I should have known something was wrong when they gave me a personality test as a requirement for employment and made me leave work because I had not eaten breakfast. This is what near-poverty pushed me to in Los Angeles. Because I have a more intimate knowledge of the "faith," I am espcially fond of mocking it. 
2. My friend Donna has a web of shoes nailed to her ceiling radiating from the light fixture. I still need to donate a pair for the collection. I love the idea of making your home an art space, and when I saw this piece at the Sophia Reina, I thought of Donna's ceiling and her adventurous spirit. And she has one of the best houses I have been in.
3. Nuns just don't run, at least not in public. So I tried to catch them here walking VERY SWIFTLY. Now I have not spent very much time in the two predominantly Catholic countries I have been in on this trip, BUT I have a suspicion I just may not find a running nun. It did cross my mind to find a costume shop...but that would be cheating.
4. No mimes but plenty of scowls for street performers abound. And finally, because Madrid is the city of lovers, where one can cross the street in a crowd of coupled hand-holders, smoochers, and toosh (yeah, I did...my mom reads this) patters, I give you love in advertising, Madrilenian style.

Love the shoes, great idea for an art installation.
What if the nuns got spooked "somehow," is that still cheating?
I wish I could read the text of that ad; do you remember what it said?
Nuns run when they coach a team (basketball, field hockey), or when they chase a little kid down in the school yard. You're just looking in the wrong place!
spooking nuns? is there a special indulgence for that kind of sin?
I was so enamored by the ass-biting that I completely ignored the words. "You'll eat better." That's the ad. And that is hilarious.
I will look for every chance where I, as a single woman with a camera, can look pervy in kids' schoolyards and fields with the justification that "No really, I am only looking for nuns."
Single woman huh? What's going on over there?
Maybe i shouldnt have let you go! Just kidding I bet if god showed up those nun would run fast than you could even phathom....phil
