His personal life and personality may not have been the most admirable…
But he was an amazing artist, even as a teenager.
I went, years ago, to an exhibit of some of his earliest works, from before he was 20. Long before cubism, they were realistic paintings, but in his own style, and masterful.
I’ll always remember how I stood there in awe, staring at single brushstrokes, trying to figure out how he managed to shape a lip, or a bird, with one motion.
No reworking, no filling in… you could see it. One economical line, thicker here, thinner there, with absolute clarity.
If you figure, yeah, 21/Ï€ is going to be a little less than 7, and her waist could be 7″ wide, it seems ok….
But in my experience we’re oval, not round, so waists are wider side to side then front to back. Plus, look at her neck… Slender women can wear a 14″ neck chain, and her waist isn’t much bigger.
Whatever it is… She’s made herself grotesque and unhealthy.
I just googled “smallest waist in the world”… the record has been held for years by a woman named Cathie Jung, who’s now 87 years old. She’s been corseting for decades, and has maintained a scary looking 15” waist.
I also saw a short video about the woman above… It confirms that her waist is 54cm, which is just over 21 inches.
She knows about Cathie Jung, and wants to be that size.
it shows her going to the doctor, who tells her it’s dangerous, and she may become unable to walk.
She already can’t eat a normal meal, just tiny ones 10 times a day.
Does she care… No.
I call this a dangerous obsession… and a terrible example for little girls.
She’s not the worst. If you’ve ever watched “Botched” you’ll see women who want ribs removed to get a smaller waist. The docs tell them it’s very dangerous and don’t do it.
Clara’s hair and earring. I’d already decided the teapot was two, but I almost missed Clara’s hair, which when I noticed it, made ten, unless it was one difference including her earring. I had to ask whether to count those two together.
Not that it matters, of course… but just for the record.
And it’s knda interesting to know which ones we all found the trickiest.
Sheesh ! ! ! ! I was struggling finding nine!
Goin’ back for my missing one, and from the looks from the other comments I already have that “split” covered…
Oh, Where, Oh Where, did that little dingle dong gone….
I tried to get here a little earlier with tonight’s solution, because I wanted everyone to know there are TEN differences, not nine.
You know how it is when you go to a garage sale… you always end up with more than you’d planned. A difference here, a difference there… a little group in one spot, another two somewhere else.
You just can’t choose, and of course, the price is right… so you end up getting them all.
I think I succeeded in rounding them up to show you… but you go look first. I want to make sure we’ve found everything.

He carries a tree around with him? Is that like Doggy Depends?
With fresh pine scent.
The Basset King; soon to be a major Pixar(tm) movie.

Whatever works!
Hey! The clock’s crooked! Fix it! Fix it!!!
Must be so frustrating, to have to make it crooked just to align some hour markings with the post.
But the Boss gets an extra minute’s work out of everyone!

Do you want chips with your fish? Malt vinegar, or tartar sauce?

Looks about right.
At least he finally got it right…
I do like the way he got in his wrinkles and thinning hair… Even the little hair follicles(?) on his chin.

Steven Spielberg, right?
Uh… Yeah… sure.
For a minute I thought it was somebody else.

When they talk about powder snow…. I don’t think they usually mean powdered sugar.

Triffids.
Or like they’re going to unroll, like a giant fern frond, and suddenly throw snow everywhere and stand up enormous.

Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya

You’re always

Away!

What is this fellow doing? Surely not imitating the three children above.
Catching raindrops.
They look so tasty up there. If only he could streeeetch just a bit more to reach them….
My first thought was that he just wanted to play with them… Be part of the group.
It might be lonely, being a snake.
Well, maybe if it wasn’t for that unfortunate apple incident….

Probably a housemate of the cat from last week.

And the dogs a few days ago.
There seems to be a theme going on.
One of my dad’s expressions… “He doesn’t have the brains to come in out of the rain.”
These animals all run gleefully out into the snow… and in a few seconds, gain great wisdom.

But can she still poop?
Her digestion is probably a mess.
When they were married, my grandfather could fit his hands around my grandmother’s waist. 10 kids later, maybe not so much.
That looks smaller than 21″.

Reminds me of the Christian Science Center in Boston.

Reminds me of The Story of the Weeping Camel (2003)
I hope that price tag near the left border isn’t actually on the cat.
ALERT! There are TEN differences in tonight’s puzzle!
Groan!!!
I marked as one difference what I thought
Ta da!
I actually had to ask Nighthawks whether to call it one or two.
He said two, so that’s why it has 10.
Oops…. I just realized it wasn’t those two…
Not that it matters, of course… but just for the record.

Sneakyyyyyy…
I think I have found all nine. We shall see.

Sneaky! Only nine.
I’ll have to look in the morning. This time of night i’m not seeing anything on the phone.
