artistic license?

Yael aspires to be an artist
the issue of the day is how far we let her take her artistic license before we censor her
Today Yael was decorating her lunch bag for tomorrow (yup we color pictures on our kids brown bags to pretend like they have lunch boxes - crayons are the poor man's answer to everything and duct tape of course)
She colored a picture of queen esther - tis the season
her picture included a belly button and nipples
Yaakov had her color a dress on top but unfortunately it seems to be a sheer green dress.
We wonder why we have not been fully accepted into this kollel community and i am wondering if they just dont see things like us (a nude esther)
This also made us wonder why a story as good as the megilah has never been made into a movie
The ten commandments is now a classic and i think that this story has enough love, death, hatred etc. that you dont even have to add in any extra love angles like they had to do in the ten commandments
I would watch it
we'll see how many others around here would appreciate the idea - we are first gonna test the waters with our paper bag drawing

  • I applaud Yael's courage in the face of communal exile to take control of her artwork and adorn esther with the nipples that rightfully belong to her.

  • Yael seems to have issues with Ester, first wanting to kill all Esters, then nuding her up

  • Wow, that one is a free spirit.

  • I have to say that, in the long run, a lunchbox is much more economical than several hundred lunchbags. And much friendlier to the environment.
