It might be hot still, but looking ahead at my calendar I'm dreaming of a White Christmas...perhaps in the Great Lakes State? So why not cool you off with a great picture from another time I was there, depicting these creations of mine: "Sentinels of Michigan"?

Some rather interesting and beautiful pictures of some luscious ladies, from circa 1900 and titled "The Revered Queen". Pampering at left, kneeling at right, but all seeming affectionate; I wonder what their stories could be...

Pretty colorful Christmas lights always make me happy. Maybe they will cheer you up too; it's August yes, but that also means we're only a few months away from the most festive season of the year! Behold, my piece "The Lights of Yule".

Today I'm feeling a kinship with the girl in Pierre Carrier-Belleuse's "Portrait of a Dancer". She's elegant, beautiful, and skilled, but with the slightest note of despondent sadness, as if she has no one who really cares for her, no solace but her chosen craft. 😌

Our favorite OC from Music City, Decca, has no homey home to call her own; that won't do! Next story: she gets a vacation home?

This girl's pretty cute. What really makes Friedrich Paul Thumann's "Sterntaler" stand out, though, is the delightfully impressionistic night sky behind her, along with how well-matched her outfit's colors are to her face and hair. Those white and golden tones! 🙂

This one by Charles Dana Gibson has to be one of the prettiest girls ever illustrated with pen and paper. At least she is to me. 😍🥰 He titled it "The Eternal Question"; her dreamy mane forms a question mark, see. 😉

For the first time this season it was cool enough last night for me to have my windows open, and I had a much better sleep! 😴🥰
Painting is Sándor Liezen-Mayer's "Sleeping Woman".

I really wish I could be someone's favorite person in the world, someone who I really liked too. 😔
I've never had that in my life, I feel like I never will, and even if I do somehow get it later it just won't be the same as if I had it when I was younger. 😢
Painting is "Ariadne Abandoned by Theseus" by Angelica Kauffmann.

Grey has ruled too long. From housing to apparel, figures to hairstyle, what replaces it? The future of fashion is the backlash of color.

Not the most sanguine subject, but as a summer vibe it's so, so irresistible. The poignant beauty of "Ophelia", as rendered by Friedrich Wilhelm Theodor Heyser.

You might think my politics are crazy, but the time will come when I am the moderate centrist.

Honestly, I think if you willfully tell blatant lies on here you ought to get the banhammer, but if Twitter (er, excuse me, "X") adopted such a rule 90% of the users there would be gone inside a week, so... 😑
Art is John William Godward's "At the Gate of the Temple".

OMG I asked it again and it now thinks we're both "large language models" created by Google AI! 👀

Boy, this is just wild. Last I checked Bing did a good job comparing our two accounts (me and EvilVizier on Twitter), but I try the same with Google Bard just now, and basically every single bit of information about both of us is made up whole-cloth! Methinks there's room for improvement.

Grey houses inhabited by brunettes with big butts wearing neutral casual clothing has been the style for too long. Want to be part of the future? Go full platinum, upgrade your bust, paint your house vividly, and get some colorful fancy clothes. That's the next big thing.

OMG, I went over my winter skyscape archives, and this capture was awesome. So I fashioned it into my new photographic piece I call "Red Storm Rising".

Few things are better than a sunny beautiful day spent with friends, especially when they're friends as cute as the ones in Albert Lynch's "Tea Time". I especially like how it looks as if the girls are inviting the viewer to join them.

If you're under 30, you can probably still get Holiday work visas, depending on your country or countries of citizenship. The US had agreements with Australia and New Zealand and I spent a year in each, then got a real visa through my job in NZ. I told a friend about them and he got one for Ireland (I didn't qualify, you have to be in school of have just graduated. When I visited him, he introduced me to everyone as "This guy is there reason I'm in Ireland").
I spent a couple of years outside of the US, including 11 months living out of two bags, living in hostels and with friends:

nostr:npub109x0x9dlft64y4h9vz9mxu92qpqn752sd8p4xe2zkcanlzmk2fcq3pwvvl I'm not interested in living or traveling like that, and even if I was I turn 30 next February, so it may not be too practical to get started with such a visa now. Still, I appreciate your comment; too many people don't know this sort of thing is even an option!
