That version is great too! It takes the demo and adds string arrangements (beautiful arrangements btw). But I think I like the demo on its own better

One more reason to never go to Miami

While My Guitar Gently Weeps (demo) - The Beatles (George Harrison, actually), from Anthology. Such a beautiful version

She was nominated on the third post after nominations were open.

Damn, Vika...

Match #13: 1 Match #14: 1 Match #15: 1

Taylor had been nominated before!!

Either is good. Not a rule, but a suggestion: Ideally both: face and also pics were the body is visible.

Thank you so much!!

Great! I'm currently collecting pics for the Cup of Nations!

Those who nominated: @Matt!, @lostdiadem, @Bettina Saw-Morgan, @peroxideblonde, @selyoink, @jessicanicole, @Enrico_sw, @Prettyphile, @FatViking, @Alizarine, @Joe > Average, @Grievous, @Stromboli1 I'll need 4 pictures for each of your nominees before next Monday. Just make sure that your pictures make it clear if the model is either blonde or brunette. Other than that, you're free to choose. Just make sure it's good pictures From what I wrote on the rules: If you want to nominate, say, Cindy Crawford, go ahead! Just look for pics of her in her prime so she can be competitive. ANY HELP concerning making the templates is greatly welcome, since I have ZERO skills on that ( @lostdiadem, @peroxideblonde )

COVER!! ------------------- Round 230: Original: Cover:

Quite the finish at the Liège Bastogne Liège!

Emily Didonato Charlie Robertson Renée Murden Taylor Hill

No no no no!! Not the comp!!! Just its final result

NOMINATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED

Oh, I had no knowledge on this particular Little Ice Age. Still that's quite a different and smaller time frame than 476-1000 or "Dark Ages" And it's not "triggering" but don't expect much different when there's such blatant science denial going on... I already stay mostly away from this thread since it has become an eternal political rant.

I REALLY hope not. It's a very different format of competition too, but well... we'll see.

The Little Ice Age was roughly between the XVI and XIX centuries. Not right after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. And NOT during the "Dark Ages", during which there was actually a Medieval Climate Optimum, roughly between centuries X and XIII. And both these phenomena were likely not global but rather regional and not happening simultaneously. These affected mostly the North Atlantic and Europe. And also the temperature changes were marginal in contrast to what has been happening in the past century. And I'm sure these phenomena have been taken into serious consideration by the people studying this. March 2021 was the 8th hottest March ever recorded, being 0.85ºC over the XX Century average for that same month. Which makes it 435 consecutive months having global temperature above the normal. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/global-climate-202103 I mean, it's not like we're hitting new record average temperatures every two or three years... it's not like the polar ice is hitting a new record low every couple of years. But sure, 100% of the scientific community, who have spent their life studying and working on this, is wrong because some Trump fans on Twitter and Youtube, relying on cherry picking "data" that fits their narrative say so.

I knew it
