This is an older piece, but I continue to find it funny.  It was the result of matching random objects and emotions: toilet brush / love.  Though the combination occurred at random, when I look at it I feel a certain sense of irony in the way it speaks to women's roles.  In a time when many of our mothers have broken out of the domestic, private sphere, for some daughters (like myself) there is a romanticized notion of the 60's stay at home mom.  We forget about the drudgery and think of the potlucks, salons, and cocktails.  I wonder if the pendulum will swing back, and when it does, will high level female executives find a renewed love for their toilet brushes?
