This is a photo that I took that I had been having trouble uploading, but I think now it should work. The inspiration is the idea that the toys are currently in focus but the tampon box looms in this child's future.

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime. Talk to a hungry man about fish, and you're a psychologist.

Wow, this is very shockingly good.
I was once a young little girl but now.... I need tampons and ice-cream. :(

How I hate mother nature's monthly gift. Sometimes she goes all out. She needs to realize that she gives the most crappiest gifts. -__-.

Anyways, I like this because I think that as girls, some of us like to rush but when it comes to that transition to being a girl and a young women to just a women, we want that young life we once had.

In a way, from my eyes, if you look at the toy you could see it make a sort of person and the little green things coming out of the box look like arms and it kind of looks like the toy is reaching out to the tampons. Lol. I would just look at it again and maybe you might see what I'm trying to say.

You photographed this well and I liked it.

Keep doing what you do.

Ha, I love it. I mostly just love the toys (...are they even toys? What are they supposed to be?)

Are you being paid by kotex to upload these, because that would be such neat advertising! LOOK AT THE TOYS and oh! what's that in the background? TAMPONS.

The only think it needs now is a tampon with the fish toys. Classic.

Ok, but seriously, I really like it. It's meaningful without being overtly meaningful. Subtlety is good. Always.

This is such a fantastic idea, I really love it. BUT, I feel you came up short. I think it would have more effect if the toys were classic, like a teddy bear, or lego or perhaps just a jack in the box, or whatever toy was your favourite, more classic growing up. Something more people could relate to, you know? On the first glance, I hadn't realized what the fish even was.
