  1. a little question?
    could you ask for postcard version of all the crew???
    for collect them

  2. I don’t know what a “cloisonne” is. But I’d happily wear one on my cloisonne. Or even two! One on each cloisonne.

  3. It’s very nice, but I can’t think of any cloisonne pin I’d wear.

  4. It would be the coolest phonograph pin ever.. especially for those singing the blooes – cos it would remind them that they aren’t totally alone.. hmmm.. but that makes me wonder :).. will there be a peahen version of it too.. ?

  5. I would love to buy your t-shirts. Here’s a remark I posted at http://www.thirteen.org/sites/reel13/blog/watch-sita-sings-the-blues-online/347/#comment-1455:

    This is a masterpiece! It’s beautiful! I love the music. I love the shadow puppets. I love everything about it.

    When I were a child my nani used to have me read out Tulsidas’ Ramcharitmanas to her. To this day Tulsidas remains the greatest poet I have had the pleasure to enjoy. I still read him every now and then. Sadly I think he is quite untranslatable, as perhaps most all poetry is.

    In recent days I have had the pleasure of reading Ramesh Menon’s fine book “The Ramayana,” his very engaging interpretation, in English, of Valimiki’s adikavya. I have also lately enjoyed Paula Richman’s “Many Ramayanas: The Diversity of a Narrative Tradition in South Asia.”

    The Ramayana has molded the Indian psyche for two millennia. A large majority of Indians, and some communities elsewhere in South Asia, have grown up with stories from the Ramayana. While it is a rip-roaring story, while it is a defining text of Hinduism, it is also the story of a great betrayal: that of Sita by Rama. I like how Nina has woven the story of her own betrayal into Sita’s story.

    This is a highly original contribution to the corpus of Ramayana stories; one for which the world will forever be grateful to Nina Paley.
