Titles are for pussies.
If you were a popular erotic artist, say Sorayama for argument’s sake, when you were finished with a piece, would you use it for autoeroticism? If the answer is yes, are you then vain? If the answer is no, did you fail in creating a work of erotic art?
For the record, most Sorayama stuff is not to my taste, but I couldn’t think of another name off the top of my head.
You know, I’d never seen or heard of Sorayama before this moment. I looked it up, and gosh, he must buy a lot of the flesh tone paints.
To answer seriously, if I may, Hell yeah, you’re vain. IF you create something then it’s a shallow recreation of the thing you had in your mind, and I reckon, unless you are supremely gifted at bringing it out into the real world, disappointment is the only feeling you get because you are millimeters or miles away from the perfect vision in your head. Having said that, I did try kissing a mirror once.

By saying “try” it almost implies that you failed in kissing said mirror. To which, I am not sure how to respond.

You’d be amazed. In my life, I have: Broken my feet, fallen of a horse, been dragged through a tree by a horse, stung by a jellyfish, had my foot run over, been kicked by children, humiliated myself in ways to bizarre and complex for your imagining, in front of genuine rock stars. Failing to kiss a mirror is something I could do in my sleep. I’m only surprised I’m not in hospital as a result.
