The Thinking Marketer

I have a troubled relationship with Germaine Greer. Sometimes I like her, sometimes I don’t.

When she reviews Stephen Bayley on Woman as Design, I like her very much. Especially for this quote:

“By having fig leaves painted over the genitalia of Adam and Eve, they [the Council of Trent] made them occult and mysterious. Bayley doesn’t notice that they left Eve’s breasts on display, because breasts had yet to be eroticised. If Bayley were to tell Giotto what he likes to do with breasts, Giotto would probably throw up.”
