Striding Nude, Blue Dress...The Painting of Tony Blair's Wife

by Paula Neal Mooney



Ah...another national leader and an infamous blue dress...


Striding Nude, Blue Dress -- an unfinished painting of Tony Blair's wife, Cherie Blair -- is not that bad when you look at it.
In fact, I find Striding Nude, Blue Dress (now that I've cleared up in my mind that it's striding, not stradling nude) kind of pretty and innocent a quarter of a century after Striding Nude, Blue Dress was begun.

Striding Nude, Blue Dress has that quaint, Girl With a Pearl Earring kind of allure to it in these days when even hints of nude pics fly about the internet like swarms of locusts.
I miss the paintings by the masters.

So now that the Striding Nude, Blue Dress painting has found its way out of Tony Blair's wife's storeroom after being locked away for 25 years, it's setting the net on fire.

Tony Blair's wife, Cherie Booth, as she was known back in 1978, two years before Cherie married the man who would become Prime Minister Tony Blair, posed for the late artist Euan Uglow.

I guess Cherie Blair liked her lifesize image, but Tony Blair was supposedly a bit unsure about it. Some say Tony Blair was prudish about his wife's painting, some say Tony Blair just didn't like the fact that the painting of his wife was unfinished.

Whatever the real reason Striding Nude, Blue Dress has come out of hiding from a London gallery and is on display for the world to appreciate.

Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net. Who's on Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries? I spent hours and hours scouring the internet for the last-reporte...

† Tissa Godavitarne - Scam? Hoax? Or Internet Marketing Genius? Read these reviews...

UPDATE - I can't do it. Just as soon as I signed up with Tissa's people search engine, I cancelled. I just don't feel right about helping people find other people's addresses and phone numbers. AND THIS PRIVACY ISSUE IS GAINING STEAM. CHECK OUT THE CONTROVERSY BREWING OVER THE MYLIFE.COM PRIVACY SELLING ISSUES THAT TISSA USES TO PROVIDE THE PEOPLE SEARCH ENGINE INFO. I know I could probably make money with it, but it's just not sitting right with my soul. Back to the drawing board. I know better things await... I kept trying to rationalize that many people could use the people search engines for good purposes, like reconnecting with old classmates and finding deadbeat dads and such -- but the reality is that if just one person uses them for nefarious purposes, I just don't want to be a part of that. I wonder if Tissa would care if people found out the address of his fabulous home, and came a' knocking on his door? How I Bought a Brand New $1.2 Million Dolla...

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab...
