My mother passed away and while sorting through many things both from she and my grandparents I found a plactic bag with a note in my mothers handwriting saying "I'm not sure where this came from, my father would have never purchased anything like this" which is true. I was almost afraid to open it. It was in the original box with a stand for these items, which said: Timi's Studio-Tortoise Shell Originals- Arz.Merino No.20-Ciudad Trujillo, Dominican Republic- Genuine Tortoise Shell. I found that Santo Domingo was called "Ciudad Trujillo", from 1930 to 1961, after the Dominican Republic's dictator, Rafael Trujillo, named the capital after himself. Following his assassination, the city resumed its original designation. I hope this helps shed some light. Peace I have found out where these came from.

Fri, 20 Feb 2009 08:41:15 +0000 http://thesocietypages.org/socimages/?p=6968#comment-7429 My first impression, upon seeing the last set of swizzle sticks (other than shock) was that those cavities in their abdomens were supposed to be transparent wombs with fetuses inside. Glad, at least, that I was wrong on that count. Disturbing, and disturbingly close to a certain line of "cutesy" birthday greeting cards I remember from working at Hallmark. The racial context was removed, but attacking womens' bodies as an overarching concept is still alright by Hallmark's standards. :( Are our baby steps getting us anywhere?
