When I saw this photo this last week I laughed out-loud. My thoughts went to the photographer and wondering if they immediately saw the shadow of his finger dancing on her upper lip like a mustache and then lined up the shot.... or if they were just photographing the event and later saw this crazy juxtaposition. The imagery is loaded with horrific historical reference, explosive current events, gender wars.... you name it. I still have a big smile looking at the pic.
