On Six Feet Under last season, Claire, a sexually active character in high school, made out with an older photographer, and viewers hardly seemed to notice the age difference. Americans buy plenty of garments from Calvin Klein and Abercrombie & Fitch, which showcase all-but-hairless flesh--often that of teen models--in their arty...
...Brace” (1999) is the most jarring and provocative of the works displayed. This enormous painting confronts the viewer with the looming image of what appears to be a grotesque mockery of the female form.

But the Victorians' emphasis on appearance rather than performance changed all that. Over the decades, changing fashions encouraged exaggerated, distorted features such as massive heads, squashed muzzles, hairless bodies and highly folded skin - all traits that can diminish the quality of an animal's life, cause serious discomfort and in extreme cases even prove fatal. More pernicious still has been the overindulgence in irresponsible inbreeding, which has spread inherited disorders among pedigree dogs. The Kennel Club...
