Symphony in Hideous Whiteness


Just for Jon Sopel, here's Whistler's The White Girl, Symphony in White No.1 from 1862. 

He didn't just paint his mum. (Whistler, that is. Not Jon.)

      I did think that George Monbiot wouldn't approve.

    Not a 'ginger' too! Far too ethnic North European.

    P.S. Does she know she has stood on her dog? That's the trouble with those full dresses.

      I was worried about poor Fido. He doesn't look happy.

    Silly girl... weighted sack seems the mode du jour. Just ensure enough weight.

    Joke... I have two adored Collies.

    I am glad it isn't 'the mother'. When I was at school we had a copy propped up against the wall and a couple of us had been playing about and our form master threw a blackboard rubber at us. But we dodged it and poor mum got hit and the glass was broken.
    The form master said, "Let's say that you two broke it and I will say it was an accident and make sure that you don't get into trouble."

    I expect that would be quid pro quo and grounds for impeachment now!

      Your story pretty much sums up American foreign policy since 2003 !
