Lipstick On The Teeth
a: Baltimore ~
b: Martha Stewart
What: "The thing about Baltimore," says Sara Hisamoto of the Visitors Bureau, "is that it's authentic. We have authentic people and authentic things to do. We know our strengths and we play to them." Or as Barry Werner, proprietor of the wonderful Scarborough Fair B&B puts it, "Baltimore is like Martha Stewart, all dressed up but with a little lipstick still on her teeth." I couldn't have said it better myself.

"Very slow, rude people. I think that Baltimore is like my crazy uncle who gets drunk at the dinner table and says things he shouldn't say, but I still love him."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
