   Huh. I wonder if they got that via the MaleSubmissionArt.com essay I just posted about this photograph. I know Tumblr tends to churn up images over and over, but I haven’t seen this one around on Tumblr much, so it’s interesting to suddenly see it pop up in two sources at once, right after I posted it. Serendipity is cool.

   Dude, check the date … they posted it last October.

   First rule of passive-aggressive complaining about lack of link credit: make sure people can’t see at a glance that your complaint is baseless. Trust me, I’m the king of having stuff yoinked from my blog and reposted without a polite aknowledgment, so I’ve tried every flavor of remonstrance.

   Whoa, dude, relax. I wasn’t complaining, although I’ll take this opportunity to offer apologies to you if you thought I was. I really like it when images like these get reposted, and I’ve said as much in various fora.

   Also, I didn’t realize the image itself was a link to the initial post. Your textual link to Sex Is Not The Enemy simply links to their homepage, not the permalink. Yeah, I overlooked seeing the fact that you did offer a permalink, so I’m sorry for that, but I don’t think I’m alone in sometimes overlooking something like that.

   Anyway, I’ll reiterate my point in commenting: “Yay for sexy Katharine Hepburn looking kind of dominant. That’s awesome and I’m glad to serendipituously see it pop up all over my feeds again.”

   I still recognize a good passive-aggressive complaint when I see it. If you do it right (and you did) it’s 100% deniable, but the message is still nice and clear.

   I’m gonna assume good faith here and take this as a miscommunication turned into a compliment.

   I’m gonna call it like I see it, which you of all people ought to appreciate. ;-)

   I do, that. ;) Truce?

   No worries, it’s not like I mind or anything. But I’m gonna call it like I see it, which you of all people ought to appreciate. ;-)

   Sure … I never was exercised in any case. Pax.

   Gah, you’re all missing the important bits, here. A jaw suffused with power and grace, and cheekbones you could shave with. Let the rabble have the rest.

   Kate was one hot knockout when she was young. A prototype of the modern woman. Don’t you just LOVE her in ‘The Philadelphia Story’?

   I think she was awesome throughout her career. Of course I did just love her in “The Philadelphia Story,” but she was also awesome looking both backward (think “Bringing up Baby”) and forward in her later roles with Spencer Tracy.

   Okay, I admit I’m all pathetic fanboy now…

    I just wanted to chime in with an “I love Katharine Hepburn”. I still kinda want to be her when I grow up.
