FYI: A local artist (who went to Fairfax Inova for radiation where I believe our own SandySt went also) rounded up 109 radiation masks and had 109 artists decorate and transform them for an auction that raised money for head & neck cancer patients. (the article does not mention why the "lion mask" went for $2,700 but the slide show hints at it: this is a toney political area of Washington DC and the actual title of the mask was :"Homage to Ted Kennedy" )Click on the link to read the article and see these transformations in the photo gallery (the third one has a Latin title which translates to "conquer, overcome, master, win, surpass, excel.".
SIMPLY AMAZING. (warning: the Post runs an advertisement first before showing you the story - and another one before letting you see the pictures - just 7 seconds but seem longer)
