The METROPOLITA MUSEUM OF ART says this is a photograph by the late American artist Walker Evans, and is titled ” [Virginia Hubbard, Destin, Florida]” (the brackets are part of the title).
Um … that’s strange, because if you enlarge it, even a little bit, and look at the mouth and nose area, you’ll know that it’s not a photograph, it’s a painting.
Besides that, I only noticed this afternoon, after all the searching I did, that it’s signed in the lower right corner… “FOOTE”.
Yes, yes I did, and it was well under the fifteen seconds. This is one of those that you either spot it right away, or you have to go through the image line by line to find it.
Dresses from couture shows are one of a kind art, and rarely sell “as is” to someone who will wear them.
Rich clients order something similar, but it’s cut and fitted and often quite changed for the body and style of the buyer.
Some runway dresses are barely put together, or made of totally impractical materials for wearing, but serve as inspiration for wearable versions…
Clients can buy one custom made dress, but many of them are high end department stores that pay a fortune just to have them to copy… Or these days the designer’s own small factory might produce them as ready-to-wear.
The shows often close with a wedding gown… It’s tradition.
But a bride in this sky high price range…. as much as a fancy car!… wants a dress maybe based on the runway dresses, but definitely brand new, unseen, and adapted to her own preferences.
So the short answer is that it’s very unlikely anyone wanted an exact copy… And the actual original is in a museum.
In case you didn’t see it…. I posted earlier, on what is now yesterday’s page…
PostImage is back!
I would guess that on top of being unfairly reported for phishing, they also suffered some sort of attack on their website…
But they’ve bounced back!
I’m about to upload my to the popcorn and soda puzzle.

I say unfairly reported because they’ve never once asked me for any type of personal information, not even a user name.
Phishing is when someone tries to imitate a secure site that you use, such as a bank or medical site, in order get passwords or entry to the real site, and steal your money or data.
PostImage has never seemed to even ask where I go, or to enter a password, much less pretend to be another site. The accusation makes no sense.
This one is difficult to figure out. The plane must have been nearly stalled, hit the wires and dropped straight down to the roof.
Another possibility is that there is a road perpendicular to this street, in from the left. He may have made a forced landing and couldn’t stop in time. He could have pulled up just before the house and bled off all his remaining speed, then stalled onto the roof.
Yeah, it looks like it had (Almost) stalled when it landed on the roof. I think you’re possibly right in that he pulled up to avoid hitting the front of the house. It doesn’t look like he hit the powerlines as they’re the other side of the house though. Does look to be a very light plane.
I’ve posted these here before, but you may have forgotten to copy the recipe that time.
I make these.
They’re really easy to make, and they’re tasty! ! ! —
From:
“My Mother’s Cook Book”
BROWNIES Ingredients credited to: A copied recipe from somewhere ( instructions from Mother / see Notes from me:, too ).
Servings: “This number depends on how big the eater’s (s’) sweet tooth (eeth) is (are) / also your (their) chocolate addiction (s) level (s).”
1/2 cup shortening or butter
2 Squares of unsweetened chocolate (totals 2 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or raisins or coconut
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease or line with waxed paper, an 8 inch square cake tin. Melt chocolate over
hot water. (I generally melt it over low heat, together with the butter or shortening.)
Then stir in the sugar and next the vanilla. Make sure it is cool enough, then stir in the eggs, (otherwise they will cook) one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Measure flour, without sifting, and stir in salt and nuts. Add to chocolate mixture and stir until well blended. Bake 45-50 minutes. (I find this usually cooks in about 25–30
minutes. Test about that time and go on from there.)
Notes from me:;
I always cool the chocolate/butter mix to luke-warm.
Bake on the second rack (top rack is first). I always sift the flour regardless of instructions to the contrary. Over-fill the measuring cup with the sifted flour and tap the side with a knife to settle the flour to emulate unsifted, then scrape the measuring cup level.
Use butter and real vanilla.
I use both raisins (plump them by putting them in hot water for a few minutes then measure the 1/2 cup) AND 1/2 cup of shredded coconut.
Check at 25 minutes. (It’s done when a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. [ If the knife is not clean it’s obvious.])
Don’t go longer than 5 minutes before checking again.
After removing the pan from the oven cover it with a tray or cookie sheet while cooling, it keeps the brownies moist.

“I’m ready for my close-up, Mr DeMille…”
He could be a stand-in (sit-in?) for Satchell in “Get Fuzzy…”
He (or she?) does have Satchel’s expression down…
Not too sure about the yellow lab/shar pei thing, though.
Heh – I had a basset/shar pei mix once. Great dog (mostly). Chewed up everything in sight. Oh well.
Sounds like my lab when he was a puppy.
I was going on the posture. So elegant!

This appears to be by an artist named Kevin Foote.
The only result my search turned up was all in Japanese except his name.
Google labelled it over two years old…
That’s probably why it doesn’t appear in searches for his present work.
But it does look very much like his other paintings.
The METROPOLITA MUSEUM OF ART says this is a photograph by the late American artist Walker Evans, and is titled ” [Virginia Hubbard, Destin, Florida]” (the brackets are part of the title).
Um … that’s strange, because if you enlarge it, even a little bit, and look at the mouth and nose area, you’ll know that it’s not a photograph, it’s a painting.
Besides that, I only noticed this afternoon, after all the searching I did, that it’s signed in the lower right corner… “FOOTE”.
I did the same search you did. I was surprised it was a painting (but could see it was when told) I wonder who it is…

…
No, world’s not fair.
Fair, yes. Good, no…

Would have been nice if wikipedia had shown the wet flowers…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diphylleia_grayi
Yes… I read that the flowers are transparent (as above) when wet, and white when dry.
Much more beautiful wet.

Josephine Baker, I bet!
Absolutely!
.
I’m pretty sure I’ve found it… But it’s kind of strange.
That’s what i found.
Yes!
Yes, yes I did, and it was well under the fifteen seconds. This is one of those that you either spot it right away, or you have to go through the image line by line to find it.
…..
I remember seeing this dress on the cover of a magazine…
Probably Vogue.
I don’t remember all the philosophical discussion….
But I do remember everybody thinking it was weird.
I was too young to be in the market for a wedding gown.
I have to wonder if anyone ever actually got married in it. Would love to see a photo of THAT.

Jailbird!
Yeah right.
You can believe whatever you like… But just look at his feet!
His colors are impossible-looking, but I know there are amazing things in nature…
Not with those toes, though.
And his beak looks like one piece, and his right leg looks wired on.
Ick.
I could show you some of the specimens I stuffed. Might change your mind!
I hope none with feet quite that creepy!
I searched it since then…. Yahoo says it’s AI.
Must be the barber bird.
I’ve found Waldo!
Life is hard for the feet and legs of small birds.
But those feet are horrific!

Plane crashes into house, San Jose, CA, 1964.
Looks like he stuck the landing.
This is great! The house is pre-disastered!
yeah! That reminds me of the movie ‘The World According to Garp’
where Robin Williams said almost that when they were looking at a
potential purchase.
This one is difficult to figure out. The plane must have been nearly stalled, hit the wires and dropped straight down to the roof.
Another possibility is that there is a road perpendicular to this street, in from the left. He may have made a forced landing and couldn’t stop in time. He could have pulled up just before the house and bled off all his remaining speed, then stalled onto the roof.
The minimal damage is hard to reconcile.
Yeah, it looks like it had (Almost) stalled when it landed on the roof. I think you’re possibly right in that he pulled up to avoid hitting the front of the house. It doesn’t look like he hit the powerlines as they’re the other side of the house though. Does look to be a very light plane.

Not raisins and coconut for me!
Walnuts are traditional.
I don’t mind some, but what I prefer in my brownies is chocolate chips, with or without nuts!
Yes yes yes (fudge frosting is good too).
now you’re talkin’
Im in the mood for brownies…….and chili!
I thought this must be from an ad, but I can’t find any info about that.
Te clip of Shaq is from an add.
Thought so.
