You may have read this before, but I'll post the link to it anyway:

In this essay, a 17 year old Lady Ga Ga discusses thoeries about conventional attitudes and reactions towards nakedness, irregularity and deformity.
She goes on to say at the end of her piece that we are 'trained only to be accepting of the regular, and it is this blindness that prevents us from seeing the prodigy in that which we have never seen before'.
What do you make of that?
