| #6 For M. Murcek Knows her Nose Portrait of one fine-looking Texan, made all the more so by her realization that a slight tilt up minimizes the effect of a generously-sized nose. Note the focal point is right at her irises; everything else is soft. And perhaps M. Murcek has had this 'passing thought': Oh, to be the Duke to such a Duchess. "Another ladle of Tex-Mex chili to go with your Pearls lager, m'lady?" |

| #5 For Jpal - It is likely Inez Thomas was a patron of Neiman-Marcus, which was founded in 1907. I'm certain this gorgeous and elegant lady was a valued and regular patron! By looking at the cut of her dress and associated accessories, Inez was also a fashion leader in her social circle. In Dallas, Inez likely danced fox trots and waltzes, maybe even the Charleston, to the music of Jimmie Joy's Baker Hotel Orchestra as well as Jack and Fred Gardeners' Orchestras; While she was in San Antonio, she would have danced at the St. Anthony Hotel to the same bands because they played in both venues with the names of the hotels changed where appropriate. |
