Title: Susan Sontag -- with a free gift for downloading! Post by: simenroute on April 20, 2007, 05:50:27 pm Here’s writer Susan Sontag, one of the leading intellectuals of the ‘60s and ‘70s. She’s an odd choice for this site, I know. But I was making a man’s hairstyle with gray temples and I wondered how hard it would be to make Sontag’s trademark lock of gray hair in the middle of her forehead. (I attached a photo of her below.)
(http://www.insimenator.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=69099&d=1177108842) But wait, there’s more! In addition to the sim version of Sontag, I’m also including the black-and-white portrait of her by Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd that hangs in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. You can see it behind the desk in the pics below. Who is Susan Sontag, anyway? Although she wrote novels and plays, it was her essays that put Sontag on the literary map. Her celebrated essay “Notes on Camp” (1964) found the value in both high and low art. And “Illness as Metaphor" in 1978 and the follow-up “AIDS and its Metaphors” in 1988 helped change the way people looked at those suffering from terminal diseases. It was such a disease, leukemia, that claimed her life in 2004. Interesting note: Although Sontag was open about being bisexual, obituaries in the New York Times and other publications did not mention her decade-long relationship with photographer Annie Liebowitz. It was Leibowitz who revealed this poorly kept secret in a 2006 article in Newsweek. Credits: I recolored the hair and the clothing from the originals by Maxis. I also made some really big bags to put under her eyes. (They still aren’t as big as in real life, though.) The eyes and brows are by the amazing Heleane, and the eye shadow is by the equally amazing Zephyrash. The rest of the credits are below. If you want to download Annie Leibowitz -- they make such a nice couple -- she can be found here (http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=45016).

Thanks for sharing! Title: Susan Sontag -- with a free gift for downloading! Post by: Grandmarmalade on April 21, 2007, 08:06:18 am Hello
Thank you for adding something new and informative and off the main stream and then sharing it with us. I enjoy the bio as well as the sim. I enjoy collecting sims that are different than or average or ordinary as everyone is not a super model and thus I like have real people in my sim game.
