02/07/2002 - Please rest assured that there is nothing the least bit pornographic on my site, nor will there ever be. However, given the recent actions by Attorney General John Ashcroft (i.e. his attempts to make artistic statues more modest by covering them!), I realize some people are more easily offended than others. I mean to offend no one, so please, only click on the link to the "Helen Avakian All Bare" picture if you truly appreciate artistic images and are not easily offended. Otherwise, click your back button, or one of the two links below (for Helen's own site, or for the Helen N' Gallery link).
That being said, I do still have mixed feelings about displaying this photo at all. I sincerely believe this is a wonderful and worthy photo that can uplift the artistic sensibilities of most viewers. Yet, I also know this photo will bring a lot more hits to this site, which make me feel like a sellout. On one hand I do NOT want people linking to this site simply for the Helen All Bare picture. On the other hand, I think even most of those who do not come here with the best of intentions will come away with something more. I think they will be exposed to the true nature of Helen Avakian! (No pun intended.) They will come away with what a great musician she is, what a kind, caring and compassionate person she is, what a wonderful songwriter she is, and as I said on page one, what a delightful, fun and sweet lady she is! So even to those people, I say "Welcome! and I hope you enjoy the show!!".
You may now PROCEED:
Proceed to Helen Avakian ALL BARE!!
