Cue: sidoze. ;D

unfortunately I am about to remove that shirt, which gives me rather mixed feelings right now  ;D

QuoteShe's wearing a pony tail, which I think of only in connection with young teen age girls

I adore the look of a pony tail at a slanted angle where it's tied back on the right or left of centre. Straight back is boring. Fortunately it's a rather rare look--at least here it is--which makes seeing one all the more exciting. Blame it on the chaos/random preference in my score :)

Peanut butter, flour and sugar do not make cookies. They make FIRE.

Reminds me of the trashy girl from the movie Venus.

After a few beers, anti clockwise. With no alcohol input I can make her go whichever way I like.
Cheers

i really would like to see an explanation of why seeing her going clockwise means you're right-brained, and vice versa; since there isn't one we don't know if it's true or not  :(.

This is usually the inverse of how it works. ;D

Save the picture...zooom in all the way at her calf...and you will see she goes both ways. My kind of gal... ;D So I think maybe at what time you start looking at it has to do with which way your mind picks for her to go. What it doesn't explain is how my brain can make her reverse directions with looking away...My brain wants her to turn left...even when I trick it to make her go right...as soon as i unfocus for an instant she goes cw.

Very clever!

Yes certainly the question is how much is left of the right part of the brain.

And if nothing is left, you still have got the right to know.
And if all is left, it will be all right.
Reality trumps our fantasy far beyond imagination.

For anyone with more interest in right brain/left brain phenomena, I recommend Betty Edwards's Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, which is now in a new edition. You've not experienced your brain at its best until you've tried drawing upside down!  ;D

In secondary school my daughter was taught to draw using the right side of the brain.  It takes incredible concentration. is slow progress, and never fails to astound me.

Honestly, it changes your perception of the world, or better yet, it challenges your perception of it.
One of her concepts is that you present the brain with a challenge that forces the left side of the brain to shut down, allowing the right side to surface. I guess that is what is supposed to happen  when you copy a drawing or illustration from its upside down position rather than upright. Logic goes out the window because the drawing is no longer an object you recognize but a collection of lines and curves. Free of preconception, the brain is free to recreate it!
