…what was going through artist Hetty Douglas’s mind…
Yes, of course it does. What it does not convey is any technique or particular talent, but it is predictable as these pages have shown repeatedly.
Who can deny the genius of this ?
what was going through artist Hetty Douglas’s mind
At risk of sounding terribly catty and superficial, I’m tempted to suggest that this young woman’s face – or rather, her chosen expression for attracting employers via LinkedIn – tells us much of what we need to know about her.
There is, I think, some information there.
There is, I think, some information there.
To be fair, for her ilk, she is remarkably free of weird hair, or normally visible piercings and bad tattoos.
Such as…
Normally visible; no silly neck/face/hand, and in most photos she has long sleeves on, perhaps because the clientele of the capitalist patriarchy run posh clothes shop she works at wouldn’t like it.
If you have photos of piercings, please do not share…

A bad case of Resting Bitch Face?

It does convey a certain sour, pouty insolence. As if she’s habitually letting people know how inferior they are. Perhaps it’s just a random quirk of physiognomy, but then again, maybe not.
Normally visible
Yeah, I gotcha. Still ugly, though. I find the numerous small, scattered tats to be a bit uglier than the contiguous ones. Of course she’s still young. Plenty of time to connect the dots. Plus, that bitch face in almost every photo. That’s kinda almost sorta effectively a tattoo.

No argument there, I don’t understand the concept of the random small ones, you would think a self proclaimed artist would have some sort of plan. Then again, from her paintings, maybe not…

Tattoos are priced by size.

What do you think? Thylacine, or quoll? Me, I’d be out looking for “scat” samples, as they’re politely called. All God’s critters gotta poop, and if you find a sample and can definitely rule out quolls, and any other animals common in the area, that’s a strong piece (or pile) of evidence in favor of the thylacine.
Worst case of Bitch Face I ever saw was in a picture of a woman holding an adorable puppy, frowning into the camera. How is it even possible to look sour and bitchy with a cute puppy wiggling and wagging in your hands?

Ehn, basically by definition, ’cause it’s a puppy:
Oh, Bugger. This thing’s gonna start peeing all over the place in four, three, two . . . .
Now, if you have a kitten and get the same reaction, then, quite literally, that’s a different animal.
In all the years my mom bred poodles, I don’t think I ever got peed on. The puppy was always too busy trying to figure out how to simultaneously lick my face and attack my fingers. I got puked on a few times, though, and there was the time when a puppy bumbling around in the grass fell over my toes, barked vigorously at them, then emitted a satisfied snort and trotted off, confident that he’d told those toes what’s what.
Hetty wants to move to NY or LA because she thinks big cities are more “open-minded.” You know, people in big cities don’t judge laborers as being ignorant whilst standing in line, or anything.

It is a fair point, whenever I think of small rural towns and villages, the first place that comes to my mind is London (England, not that metropolis of 900 people in Arkansas).
Google’s info-nugget thing shows London’s population as 383,822.
We have a Stratford, too, with an Avon River and everything.
I see I’m going to have to use my red pen.
Figures the Canucks would name the river and city the same as in England, population 10.5 million. The closest we come in the US and A to that sort of thing is Paris, Kentucky, which is on the South Fork of the Licking River which may seem suggestively French (or ecosexual), but it ain’t the Seine.
Derp, that last was to PiperPaul’s last about London, Ontario…
Hey, there’s a Paris in Ontario, too! It’s near Cambridge. I don’t think they parlez le francais there, though.
This made me LoL:
