Nice Biceps!

They are a splendid part of Vincent's anatomy, more than a little helped but the proximity of his forearms, hands and shoulders...

Many thanks for the lovely ladies who have given their valuable time to produce photos the photos I've posted today.

Eyebrow Express(ive)

Whether he raises one or the other, or both at once, furrows them, or stretches them, he expresses so many emotions just using those lovely eyebrows that enhance that gorgeous face.

The Cartoonist's Art

This was on Google, too. I can tell that it's meant to be Vincent, and I can see why he's done what he's done, but, really, no VDO fan could defend this offering from Caricature Zone.

What do you all think?

Thank you Google

I thought I hadn't seen these exact pictures before when I checked Google, so here goes.

What Wisdom

Nomi on her blog has been talking about her dental problems - a choice between root canal work and extraction - and it reminded me of my experience of having my lower wisdom teeth out back in 1976.

Everyone I knew who'd had wisdom teeth out had them done in the hospital and had swollen faces and jaws black with bruising. I was having mine done at the dentist's surgery, so I was expecting the worst.

So there I was in the chair with an armful of valium, floating up at the ceiling and thinking, "Ooh, this is taking a long time", not knowing that the first tooth was taking ONE HOUR to remove. The second took only(!) 15 minutes. The teeth had an extra root that didn't show up on the x-ray.

I was lucky - I had no bruising or swelling, but I spent the next two weeks picking bits of broken tooth out from beneath the stitches.

A few years later the same dentist managed to kill a teenage boy. He turned up for treatment involving an anaesthetic without having fasted. He was sent away till the afternoon, but when he was put out he started to turn blue, so they revived him. When he recovered his colour, they carried on - and he died. Funny how no-one would go to that dentist after that...

My current dentist took precisely five seconds to remove one of my upper wisdom teeth a few years ago. I don't have much wisdom left now.

Up close but not personal enough

You can't get up too close to Vincent. Actually I can't get anywhere near him!

Do you think it's too late to become a photographer and offer to do him a portfolio?

Hey - wasn't Carin (sp?) a photographer after she was a model? So it works!

Thanks to Eliza and others for providing these V-close-ups.
