Description

I have always been more than fair about this entire ordeal—I never dragged you and I never put you on blast–because I respected the person I did care about enough not to. I still won’t, because I respect that friendship, but I’m going to make something unequivocally clear: under no circumstances, and by no stretch of the imagination, would I have EVER given this painting to someone as their “fan,”–”super” or otherwise. This painting was the catalyst of my professional career and an integral part of my healing process from sexual abuse. I gave this painting to you because you had been my friend, and I loved you.
You can live your lies, but I don’t have to. And I won’t. You can miss me with those ugly, unnecessary lies.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of my absolute Girls in the print collection, Bells for Her means the most to me. I am only glad that she turned out as well as she did and I am so proud of her.

Tori had written it for her best friend, Beenie, who is an incest survivor. It's about two best friends whose relationship is being pulled apart by the horrible monster that is incest, and the intimate and beautiful relationship that only girls can have with each other.

She'll be a full-page print, available in a limited number, each signed and dated by me. She'll be apart of the collection that I am doing for RAINN that will appear next year. Also, lyrics will be individually written onto each of the prints!

For the Beekeeper and my Sarah for being the most amazing people ever. And for Daena, who has shown me there is life beyond that victim space. <3

Note: As of 07/14/09, Tori Amos herself has a print proof of one of this very special girl. She was delighted and most grateful and loved it, and thanked me profusely for helping RAINN!
