These two portraits by Jenny Scobel are powerfully sexy; there is something strange and attractive about the nearly identical deadpan expressions on her face.

Lynda Benglis, Eat Meat, 1969/75, aluminum, 24 x 80 x 50 inches at Cheim & Read
The fact that I accidentally juxtaposed those two very shapely legs with Lynda Benglis's sculpture Eat Meat has absolutely no psychological subtext, so get that thought out of your dirty mind.
