In a Move reminiscent of Scientology, the gang at bodyworks sent me an E-mail.
My friend Mac says that I'm next, and they'll pose me doing Jazzercize, with legwarmers and a headband.
What's bizzare to me is how quickly they responded, and how immediately they refer me to their own literature as a valid reference point. The Lady Invoked Von Hagen's name with some eerie Messianic undertones. Or maybe I'm overreacting. Here's the e-mail.

Hey dude, the link isn't working for me. But I tell you what, I'd really like a more detailed explanation from Gunter Von Creepy as to why he felt the flayed corpse of a pregnant woman with a real 8-month old fetus inside of her absolutely, positively HAD to be posed like a whore sitting for a portrait that would most likely be most appropriately painted on black velvet and put on display in Madame Sissy's ranch in "Hey, It's Legal Here," Nevada.
So, you know, if you come across that. Feel free to post.
