That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for February 26, 2021

Helene didn’t want anyone to see her class photo with the bangs.

For um, composition purpose, Klimt choose to go with a older female body.

one of the latest models from the spring stepford wives catalog…

I’d never heard of her, had to look her up: “Dame Anna Wintour DBE is a British-American journalist who has served as editor-in-chief of Vogue since 1988 and global chief content officer for Condé Nast since 2020; she is also artistic director of Condé Nast and global editorial director of Vogue.”

“Ok turn to your left and then step over here for fingerprinting.”

Sometimes, the obvious joke is the best.

Nuthin could be better than a girl who strains her sweater in the mor-or-ornin’…

“I need dark glasses.”

Would I be considered a “creep”/ if I were to take a leap/ and observe (from the side)/ that she’s not very wide/ but she’s pretty impressively “deep”.

Agent 99 -is that you?

Looks like Wendy Padbury to me.

Another Nast(y) woman who thinks her style is in Vogue.

Don’t just stand there, turn the page, boy!

This is a portrait of Helene Klimt, Gustav’s niece, daughter of his brother Ernst, who died in 1892. She was born that same year. So all you lustful commentators are admiring her 6-year-old body. Hmmmm….

What you’re interpreting as her breasts is her dress, which has lots of material gathered across the chest, a very common fashion at the time, as seen in this image:

It’s rendered very loosely/impressionistically.

It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the bob haircut again..

Back when “profile” meant simply meant a person’s side.

The real Cleopatra.

I was going to say Louise Brooks or Colleen Moore.

A Klimt that looks realistic?? I didn’t think there was such a thing.

I’m reminded of the “Queen’s Gambit” actress.

Kimbra in the Gotye “Somebody that I Used to Know” video.

She was getting pretty fed up with all the white dresses. Especially the admonishments to not get dirty. How the heck would she ever get in the tree house dressed like this?

Dreaming of wearing Prada.

“’Don’t worry,’ he said. ’You’re too young to get pregnant,’ he said.

“I’ll probably end up in cartoony pictures with goldish, chaotic backgrounds. Why do I screw up everything I do?”

8 year old patty always wanted to mature early, so she stuffed her bra, and no one suspected.

Sorry sweetheart, I just can’t get it even….

Mother Helene can’t have been thrilled to find that her daughter’s face is shown on only about 2% of the painting.

I don’t think I should have my mask off this long…

She’s still wearing the same hairdo.
