I can see that going down quite well with certain aspects of Our Lady. John scrawling WTF over this carefully selected icon has its own spiritual, or at least existential, force, I think. Actually I think he's keyed into quite an important aspect of Erzulie Frieda - the tears and despair at the state of the world that come after the lust for temporal luxury. Scatter cushions!

The website looks awesome to me. But then again, I have a shrine for Erzulie in my bedroom and my fiance is a devotee of her mysteries - so I'm perhaps not the most impartial source on that... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erzulie It’s an image of the Mater Dolorosa, an aspect of the Virgin that is syncretised with Erzulie Freda Dahomey, the Haitian Vodou Lwa of love, sex, pleasure, luxury, dancing, beauty and sorrow.

Perhaps he'll forigve you. I admit I didn't understand all the rest of the images. I assume they are awaiting musicial accompliment.
