Bonnie and Clyde

Bonnie and Clyde by miss_rogue.
From Sean Coon:

"...I can confirm without a doubt that missrogue and factoryjoe are the web 2.0 version of Bonnie and Clyde."

So you two are murderers?

The photo above does not look like the photos of Bonnie and Clyde I have seen.

Well that's because it's Faye Dunaway and Warren Beattie playing Bonnie and Clyde.

And...I believe Sean meant it a little more metaphorically. Jeez. So literal. ;)

The metaphor being? Both the image being beautiful actors , and the comment seems to glorify violence to me.

Man, Lloyd...bah.

Okay...the metaphor being that they were a couple who were rebellious, fought the system. Okay. So neither Chris nor I are into violence. At all.

B&C were odd folk heroes. Both loved and hated by the American people. (Hated because of their crimes, loved, I suppose because of what drove them there and that people during that time period could relate to having had 'enough')

Anyway...it's more the rebellious couple thing, traveling around wreaking havoc here and there. Trying to stir things up and such.

No, we aren't going to rob convenience stores and have shoot outs with the police...but the image of this couple who were equals in a time when women weren't often is interesting.

Besides, the costumes of the period are way cool. It would make for a fun photoshoot.

Well put Tara.

Equal violent criminals. I am not down with glorifying criminals -- no moral system would see Bonnie and Clyde as not being criminal. At least some would not consider you and Chris criminal ;-)

I think there must be a male and female pair that we would honor you two more as a couple and individually.

Cool photo shoot, definitely, just leave the guns at home ;-)

for lloyd's sensibilities, why don't we just consider you guys the susan sarandon and tim robbins of 2.0.

does that work for you lloyd? i know tim played a mad bomber in "arlington" and susan was complicit to murder in "thelma and louise" but...

Sean, I miss the humor or sincerity in your comment. Is there more context?

I don't think Tara and Chris' accomplishments are yet on the scale of Sarandon and Robbins, who both have numerous humanitarian accomplishments.
