    You are right. I will just get my magnifying glass out again. I may be gone some time.

    First time I've heard it called that. Is this an example of nicknaming by association?

    What a woman!

    She is one of the reasons I hate Andre Agassi so much, Imagine a bloke who married her and Brooke Shields. Ok, she's crazy, but....

    Alright - I have another idea for a thread. Like the flowers thing, it has a slightly non-hairy-arsed element, but I think there's enough swinging dickery about it to be worth a shot.

    So - women in representational art whom you would oblige.

    Nudes are obviously allowed, but I'll start off with an ethereal floaty hippy one.



    The model for this was Jane Morris. She and the other great pre-Raphaelite muse - Lizzie Siddall - were both total knockouts, if the pictures they sat for - and contemporary accounts - are anything to go by. They certainly appeal to the adolescent bit of me that will forever regret having been born a bit too late for Woodstock and the Stones in Hyde Park.

    And while I'm at it...

    Heineken don't make late Victorian outdoor jacuzzis, but if they did, they'd probably be the best late Victorian outdoor jacuzzis in the world...

    A king's mistress posing as the Madonna. I have never seen a woman with breasts quite that far apart, very intriguing.

    A certain Bishop used to take a great interest in a Madonna's breasts according to Browning:

    "Bedded in store of rotten fig-leaves soft,
    And corded up in a tight olive frail,
    Some lump, ah God, of lapis lazuli
    Big as a a Jew's head cut off at the nape,
    Blue as a vein o'er the Madonna's breast..."

    I wonder if the Bishop had a magnifying glass! Hmm!

    Well, they attracted a pretty militant secular crowd, those concerts, so it's possible the bishop was getting bashed.

    A veritable Bishop's convention.

    By the way Jocky, that poem you slipped in a few pages back did not go unnoticed. It went into my bag of tricks.

    At the moment I'm thinking something along these lines (The same thing Mr. Rosa was thinking):

    Or maybe it's the wrong picture...what day is it today?....

    That's the best selling painting of all time, or something. Or possibly the second best, after the dogs playing pool.

    As this entire fanciable-women-in-proper-art thing has been rendered a low-class joke by Brian 'jocky' Sewell over there, I shall be forced to seek out a Web page of that chick on a tennis court scratching her bum.
