Looks like the necklace and floral centerpiece are specifically designed to draw one’s gaze away from her face and towards her “unmentionables”. Just don’t get caught being human!

Not the impression I get. Get it? Impression?

Anyway, you have your Monets and your Manets. She must be Tippy Tippy Day Day.

No kidding. I once saw sidebar article title there along the lines of, “Lindsay Lohan shows side boob while out with hunky boyfriend.”

I like Rick from Pawn Stars art definitions.

‘Impressionism is blurry. Post-impressionism is very blurry.’

If Manet had painted a man with that same expression, would your class have had the same reactions that you described, do you think?

I do. We also looked at this painting, "Nighthawks", and noted the server's attitude. Very late at night, not too busy, but he doesn't seem to be having a grand time and would be happy to go home.
