He makes a really big deal about it, as a matter of vanity. I found this a little mystifying though, as a symbolic device, reverse alchemy. But it is an eclipse too now that you mention it, or lunar phase shift of some nature.<BR/><BR/>Rogue gets a white streak in X-Men and the same thing happens to the mom in Poltergeist when she goes into the Otherworld, but I suppose that's different.<BR/><BR/>The Graeae also share an eye amongst the three of them. There's certainly a lunar relation to all the tripartite goddess figures, Gorgons, Fates, Furies, Morrigan, etc.<BR/><BR/>Very interesting series.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737637608084706727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-230063815373634353.post-63061687797350011282008-02-29T15:43:00.000-08:002008-02-29T15:43:00.000-08:00You know, I probably couldn't tell one fur-bikini ...You know, I probably couldn't tell one fur-bikini movie from another, but I'm sure my mom knows which one I'm talking about.. maybe I'll call her. Anyways there's a hair transfomation in Jake Kotze favorite, a Robin Tunny movie, The Craft. (Actually at least 3 hair transformations.) The one I'm thinking about is the black girl, "Rochelle" who has a feud with the school's typical blond bimbo, "Laura Lizzie." (Both names have LL!) Rochelle gets a lock of Laura's hair and braids it into her own. Later, Laura's hair starts to fall out until she's bald. So the black girl with black curly hair causes the white girls golden hair to dissapere. Now, I'm sure you can see where I'm going; this seems very much like an eclispe. The rays of light represented by long golden hair have dissapered due to the black curly hair - or Medusa snakes.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure that there are plenty of movies with hair change. All I can think of right now is "Eternal Sunshine...," (dyed hair form orange to blue) "Ultraviolet," (black to purple or vise versa) and "12 Monkeys" (dark brown to blond with a whig). But now that you're looking for it, I'm sure you'll notice more.<BR/><BR/>The Maenads are definetly worth a look. The blood letting or sacrifice sure is interesting, but not really what I want to concentrate on here, though it might be worth a future article. Hmmm, the moon goes from white to blood-red during a lunar eclipse, and white to black during a solar eclispe. The sun goes from gold to black and loses it's "hair" or sun rays during an eclipse. So much to think about!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612156064544756274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-230063815373634353.post-8512944530207176982008-02-29T06:17:00.000-08:002008-02-29T06:17:00.000-08:00Strangely, that does make me happy.Very interested...Strangely, that does make me happy.<BR/><BR/>Very interested in the hair transformation, turning from blond to snakes, or blond to dark. Was that old caveman movie the practically unwatchable "The Clan of the Cavebear"? Any other examples of hair color changing? It seems a ridiculously easy device for storytellers to use. I'll have to keep my eye open for it.<BR/><BR/>Kali's blood frenzy makes her sound like a Maenad (or more likely prototypical of Maenads) and she bears remarkable similarity to the Celtic Morrigan/Badb/Macha.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737637608084706727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-230063815373634353.post-91278012910152106522008-02-29T02:08:00.000-08:002008-02-29T02:08:00.000-08:00Alright well it's getting late and I got school to...Alright well it's getting late and I got school tomarrow, so I'll have to do <I>another</I> part to this later.
