The Secret is Out


#WorldWatercolorMonth Day Eighteen

Now what do we have here? Hmmm. An open wardrobe door with somebody’s secret on display to the whole world. There are stars there. Is that a spandex jumpsuit? And red boots once again. And what’s that hanging from the hook at the side there? I wonder…

In a recent post, All Smiles, I published a portrait of a superstar who looks nothing like who it’s meant to be, but rather strangely resembles several other people who it most definitely isn’t. I haven’t named the superstar as yet, because I’ve really enjoyed creating clues as to her identity – or rather the identity of one of the characters she played forty years ago – during this World Watercolour Month. I think portraits that look nothing like their subject is the way forward.

I believe this post should give the game away, but as a reminder here are the other clues I’ve posted along the way:

And yesterday’s post of an island paradise also included a clue.

So, if you haven’t worked out who it is so far, I shall tell you… oh, is that the time?! Must dash!

I’ll get back to you in a whirl!

          I haven’t the foggiest, Jodi… I knew all along (although between you and me I started to doubt myself along the way…)

    It’s got to be Wonder Woman. But I don’t know my super heroes very well. The Green lantern reference has thrown me off. 🙂

      Yep! It’s Wonder Woman – the Green Lantern was a reference to another superhero, Susan, thrown in to either help or hinder the process! 🙂

        Yep the Green Lantern reference threw me off even tho I know he is a super hero. Makes for good fun.

    Yes! It has to be Wonder Woman! Or maybe it just should be. Either way! Cool!

    I thought I knew but really don’t. Yes, Wonder Woman came to mind but the lantern creates doubt. I suppose if I’d read the other clues it might have helped.
    I’ll stay tuned. 😎

      They may have helped, Isadora, although they may not have!
      The Green Lantern is another superhero, so I threw that in to steer minds in that direction… cryptically… 🙂

    Hmm the Green Lantern, wasn’t that a film too? Sounds like one of those old scifi flicks my husband likes lol. I’m gonna say Lynda Carter too because now I recall your portrait, it does look like her!

      Spot on, Laura – it was a recent film with Ryan Reynolds (I believe…). And yes! It was Lynda all along! 😀
