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.)

  2. 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.

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

    Joke... I have two adored Collies.

  4. 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!
