Let's talk leopard! I'll be presenting a new lecture tomorrow night at @hauserwirth in association with @morbidanatomy . I'll be examining wearing leopard in art and fashion, and how cats came to be associated with women -- including a new spin on a domestic goddess, and the etymology of "pussy." Free!

In honor of women in Saudi Arabia finally being granted the right to drive, I'm posting a historical woman driver: Wilma K. Russey, the first female taxi driver in NYC. An article in the New York Times on January 2, 1915, said of her first day on the job, “Woman Taxi Driver Invades Broadway … Men Rivals are Friendly.”
