The idea was basically a mashup of Blade Runner (hence Priss) and Bowie's Outside (1995). Now, where this all gets really interesting for me is when these images are cross-referenced with the deeply disturbing, recurring dreams I was having in the winter of 2007 that led to me writing first "A Season of Broken Dolls" and then "In View of Nothing" (as detailed in the chapbook B is for Beginnings; Subterranean Press, 2009). At the time, I noted the connection between those stories, the dreams, and Outside, and Kathryn pointed out at the time that I'd been sleeping to Blade Runner. Now, I don't remember ever actually seeing this photo spread before last week, but I can't swear that I didn't. Regardless, the parallels are there, and it was an eerie sort of jolt, seeing the images.
Submitted, for your consideration. I just wanted to share.
