Mighty Aphrodite

Forget the creationism vs. darwinism debate. Greek Mythology has really captured Ana's imagination. Her decision to be Aphrodite came from a long curly pink wig of mine, and the suggestion that she dress as Medusa. She was completely horrified at the thought. Especially since I've shown her the clip from Clash of the Titans on youtube (remember root canal vs. Medusa?)...

When she pulled out her old Cleopatra costume, those drawings of the goddesses immediately came to mind. She announced she'd be the goddess of love...and got to dressing up...

I thought of Botticelli's Birth of Venus, and we found it online. She wanted to draw it. Can you see what it looked like? The shape beneath the feet is the shell. Ana liked hearing that she rose out of the sea...
