The US Supreme Court and Paris

Ms. Kalman is a illustrative genius. If only I could be half as creative and introspective as her! I love the simple way she deconstructs situations, issues and circumstances which seem larger than life. In her latest spread, Kalman breathes new life into the solid institution of Washington D.C. and the Supreme Court. My favorite line is at the very end, where she muses about buying a judge's robe and collar in Paris, and wearing it around the house while she paints. She wonders if it would give her self confidence to throw around terms like prima facie. What a fun idea. I love the image in my head....prancing around in a judge's robe with childlike imagination. All she needs now is a crown and a princess wand. What a splendid life she leads... Enjoy!
