18 This is one of my favorite paintings mainly because green is my favorite color. The composition is also well balanced.

19 Zoomed in, though, there seems to be a sulky look to her lower lip -- what a writer, I can't recall who, referred to as the "I want" look. Of course, that could just be an intent look as she concentrates on pinning whatever to her bodice.

Oh, now I remember: Stephen King's characterization of Frannie, one of his leads, in The Stand.

37 Women Full of Binders - a limerick

You need a corset of just the right kind

50 This is a rather appealing painting. The artist has caught the delicate skin tones and posture of the young woman in a relaxed moment. The contrast of the clothing and background brings out the woman's softer features.

BTW, when enlarged you can see the brush work. It has surprising vigor for such a delicate portrait. Interesting.

98 Everyone has their own cutoff point for pure nerdiness. I saw tubby thirty-somethings recite the green lantern pledge, and I knew that females would be twice as repelled.

Flashgitz did a few videos of furries vs space marines. The funny part is that both hobbies are retreating into their hobbies or their own minds, just one is much worse.

We need a matrix of cringe, where the y axis is harmlet-predatory and x is the magnitude of social horror.

105 The wasp waist is a fashion illusion. Notice that the striped skirt comes up all the way next to the sides of the bodice, thus providing hips and stomach with plenty of room. The skirt "fades out" next to the strong color of the bodice and the gold trim, and of course her naked shoulders and upper chest grab the attention away from the rest of the dress.

106 AOP - the second stanza has Helen of Troy as a young girl, unseen, quietly watching a peasant dancing. The reader is told to be quiet so as not to disturb her. She is learning the moves to be the most consequential ho of all time.

It also covers Caesar and Michaelangelo in similar veins. It's fascinating.

Yep. For me, a young girl/woman at one of the major points of her maturing. Becoming aware that she growing in both body and mind and that all of her old ways are no longer to be carried forward.

228 The increases in housing costs still favor people from high cost areas.

If your $300K house goes to $600K

and you buy in an area where the same sort of houses have gone from $200K to $400 you are still making out.

This would make it VERY hard to move from a cheaper area to a more expensive on though.

308 If you can do winters in Vermont, I guess you can in Wyoming. Just a lot more.wind.
Posted by: Diogenes at June 20, 2022 10:54 AM (anj39)

We are very lucky and live on a huge lake looking north. Without the earth's curvature, I'd see Montreal. In the winter, we have nothing between us and the Great White North to block the north wind. Holy crap does it blow, and blow cold.

I think Wyoming will have stronger wind, but not to the extent that it would if we lived inland by a mile or two.

Cheyenne gets lots more sun, less snow, and has overall warmer temps than here. When the missus and I drove around the west in April we went from Denver to Scottsbluff NE - Cheyenne - Vernal UT - St George UT - Kanab UT - Cortez co, and back to Denver. We saw a lot of towns in between. Cheyenne felt more like home than anywhere else. But WY has no income tax and Cheyenne is the state capital. There's always money/jobs in a state capital.

While the Obi-wan show was apparently the biggest rated show Disney+ has had. Yup. Straight up racism. Disney needs to lecture more about our failings as a society.
