Picture meme time!

Been meaning to do with one for a while, and finally got around to it.

• Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive.

• NO CAPTIONS!!! It must be like we're speaking with images and we have to interpret your visual language just like we have to interpret your words.

• They must ALREADY be on your hard drive - no googling or flickr! They have to have been saved to your folders sometime in the past. They must be something you've saved there because it resonated with you for some reason.

• You do NOT have to answer any questions about any of your pictures if you don't want to. You can make them as mysterious as you like. Or you can explain them away as much as you like.

Who is that in 3 and 5?

Well, 3 was a painting I fell in love with at first sight at the Met, and she was only listed as "Woman with a White Rose". The description went on and on about how the painter had captured her seductive, sultry pose and look...which is OBVIOUS the met doesn't know what the hell they are talking about, cause the look on that woman's face is "Bitch plz" or "Pull the other, it's got bells on it".

I love her so.

5 is Thalia, muse of Comedy. In a story I've been working on, my hero Imp is helped by various sorts, one of them being Thalia (though, known as Wilde in the story, as she's trying to keep under her sister Calliope's radar.) I was looking for inspiration, and her face is just so perfect I just had to save it...though, that would be classical Thalia...by the time she's going around as Wilde, she's adopted a bowler, a cane, and a 1890's suit. ^_^

I need to go the Met ARGH!!

I've used the name Thalia before - It's so PRETTY. And so are those two paintings. <3

I wonder if there's a classical painting of someone with a cat, that would be perfect for me.

'Scuse me, rambling. Tired. :D

WEEEEEEEEEELL, if you're ever in NYC, there's always a futon you can sleep on, and a tour guide at the ready! ;)

Oh, and I'm CERTAIN I can find you some sort of painting with cats in it. XD
