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

" There are few more impressive sights in the world than a Scotsman on the make. "
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....
Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

I can see you are going to fit in here nae problem.

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

...and what was a Bishop doing at a Madonna concert?...
Well, they attracted a pretty militant secular crowd, those concerts, so it's possible the bishop was getting bashed.
A veritable Bishop's convention.

The new Colassus?
Imagine the bumper to bumper (bow to stern) traffic getting into Rhodes!
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):

Was that the picture that was supposed to be in houses where there were fires? A cursed picture? Or perhaps it was so common that it was frequently found in houses that had fires.
Even I remember that painting as a kid. Maybe it was an urban myth - being the cause of fires, not me remembering...
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.
