    I took a look at the pictures of the jeweled cockroaches and have
    been reading the posts regarding them. I do not believe roaches of
    any kind will ever be refifined or recontextualized enough for me. I
    can (and this is a true story) remember when at the age of two, with
    my two sisters, being put in the center of my parents bed and covered
    with a sheet to enable us to eat. The sheet was in order to keep the
    cockroaches from falling on our food as they dropped from the
    ceiling. I can close my eyes and still see how enormously hugh they
    looked through the sheet from the flashlights reflection. And I can
    still hear the thud as they dropped all around us. No, in my opinion,
    they can never be encrusted in enough jewels to make me want to get
    anywhere near them.

    Ps. we didn't live there more than a month or so but those awful
    memories will stay with me forever.
