Ah, deadlines. I had the same crunch time in my printmaking. Sleep? Who has time for that? (although apparently I have time for the internet. :/ )

The other interesting thing is that through history, boys often seem to be considered in the same light as women (i.e. objects of adult male lust) in many different cultures (the samurai apprentices, romans, etc.), so instead of subversion, it could be supporting the same 'male gaze?' Although that's the subject of another thesis, I suspect. XD
