there's an inconsistency in the stories because they could have technically not been miscarriages at all, assuming her story to be the truth:
QUOTE
Because the miscarriages coincide with the expected date of menstruation (the 28th day of my cycle), it remains ambiguous whether the there was ever a fertilized ovum or not. The reality of the pregnancy, both for myself and for the audience, is a matter of reading.

superstitious is correct; i think yale was trying to save face. the artist wanted to make sure the truth was out.

if this really all is just a "performance", it's mediocre at best. it's just causing confusion and controversy in something that's not worthy of it.

as long as you keep sayin "think" then you're not gettin anywhere, this story sucks now =\
one story says it's true, then the girl admits it's true, then another story shows it's not true, then yale claims it's not true.. for f**k sake.
