Indecent Docent: Sex-Deprived Tina. BY CARLY SACHS - - - -  Let's begin here with the use of color.  I find the painting to be overtly sexual, I think  it was intentional, I mean the artist  must have realized how erotic paint  can be, the opposite of undressing, you  know, what I'd give to be 10 years younger  because everyone wants to fuck someone younger  or someone whose skin is a different color  than yours. Don't tell me that you   don't have these fantasies. The problem is that I think  too much. I mean, what if I could paint  like that, you know, I'd be a fucking artist  and I've always wanted to fuck an artist  or perhaps a sculptor, but I'm not getting any younger.   What artist would want to paint  me naked? Who wants to see that? Only a color-  blind artist maybe, would get me, I think:  you know, the whole essence of me, you  know. Now I know what you're   all thinking. I couldn't get an artist  to fuck me. Well, you know what I think?   Fuck you! I was hot to trot when I was younger,   you know, like if my sex were a color,   it would be like Jackson fucking Pollock with paint  all over the place. This one time I bought these body paints,   but it wasn't the same, you   know. Like it was too forced, so we tried watercolor,  but then we felt more like kids than artists,   you know. It was better when we were younger,   less inhibition, less shit to think  about. That's why I come here, to stop thinking  about myself. I think about the way paint  changes everything. The way it hides things, it makes me younger,   I think. To come here, sort of like Dorian Gray, you  know, he had that artist   paint him, but you saw his true colors  shining through, eventually, because the color of thoughts  is that thing that artists like to paint  so you can see yourself younger, you know.    MORE SESTINAS
