More from Saara
One more of a numer of additions the special "update" to the Pygmalion Syndrome site. I wrote the mini-stories for the art just now, and want some instant feedback. The update, with *all* the artwork, won't take place until August.
The science if bogus, you can be sure. Or is it? Actually, not entirely, but as far as I understand, using lasers to deposit films of metallic ions can only be done in a vacuum. It is, in fact, the principle behind the electron microscope. Cells and other microscopic objects to be viewed have to be coated with gold first, before the electrom beam can "see" them. In past the gold atoms were injected into the vacuum from an anode, I believe.

It might stick, but it would surely crack and likely peel of easily. Even some failry rigid metal, like steel, would probably have to be as much as a half millimeter thick to have any chance of holding a person completely still. Softer metals would need to be thicker still, so you'd end up with a rather Rodanesque statue.
Shouldn't the Pygmalion Syndrome be for people who want their statues to come to life, not their living to become statues?
I've always had a fondness for art that takes something that would normally reek of fetishism - the statuefication, the super-high heels, the small bondage themes and blatancy of the costume - and make them so pretty that *anybody* can enjoy it. Almost innocent. I mean, look at that face. And the tomboy hair and figure at odds with the exaggeratedly sexualized femininity of the outfit. It's just beautiful.
I guess that's the point. When I look at this picture, I think 'That's pretty' before I think 'It's a girl turned into a statue'. And I like that.

Um, well, maybe...! In one of my early stories I'd included a reference to something called "Reverse Pygmalion Syndrome" and I decided it would make a good name when I finally plucked up courage to put my own site online, but the "Reverse" bit made the title too long. Anyway, the site's been online for nine years now, so it's a bit late to change the name!
