Such a concatenation of conventional gender markers can't help but feel like irony, and inscribing the picture of a living animal on a gaudily decorated bit of its carcass seems like a bitter joke about the price of being a woman.

If not, it's a handheld ZX Spectrum, basically, allowing you to relive the glory days of 1980s gaming with about a thousand pre-loaded, gaudily colored, and once-slow-loading games you half-remember from when you were probably a barely developed fetus.

The filmmakers make good use of their locations and the creeping camera movements and, on occasion, they brighten the gloom with daubs of color — with Connor's knitting, a gaudily painted car, the forest green — that add vibrancy to a tale that's mutely, almost reluctantly told.

A few nights ago, at a Safeway in Washington, DC, I counted no less than 81 varieties of cereal — ranging from Honey Bunches of Oats to Peanut Butter Panda Puffs — before developing a sinking feeling that the rows of multicolored, gaudily marketed boxes were closing in on me.

The National Book Awards were held here in November, and the permanent features of the place — great marbled columns, chandeliers, arcades, a gaudily patterned dome — dwarfed the temporary signs of the awards ceremony: an elevated stage, draped in velvet, decked on both sides by stairs, sat along one of the walls.

There's stuff everywhere, page after page, in the paradoxical plenitude of poverty: cheap clothing, packaged food, soda bottles, bedding, posters, wires, balloons, bits of trash on the ground, gaudily painted walls, lots of pink here and there, human limbs and faces and bellies (I can't recall ever seeing a book with this many pregnant bellies).

There is a trio of Lichtenstein takeoffs by Greg Gossel, a rather double-take inducing conglomerate image of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley, and a series of works by Lisa Alonzo, who uses pastry chef tools to render images of commercial beverages, like Diet Coke and Red Bull, as well as a gun in gaudily decorative rosettes and flourishes.

Like those series, and like its source material, "Watchmen" is a gaudily self-conscious puzzle box, with a chopped-up chronology, playful references to its own artificiality (one episode is called "If You Don't Like My Story, Write Your Own"), and art-within-art elements like "Trust in the Law," comic books, TV shows, puppet shows, and museum displays, some telling the myths of the Minutemen, who are celebrities in this fictional world.

Writing in 1994 in the London Review of Books, Cavell made the case for the philosophical resonance of the Marx Brothers: Intention, or the desperate demand for interpretation, is gaudily acknowledged in such turns as Chico's selling Groucho a tip on a horse by selling him a code book, then a master code book to explain the code book, then a guide required by the master code, then a sub-guide supplementary to the guide – a scrupulous union, or onion, of semantic and monetary exchanges and deferrals to warm the coldest contemporary theorist of signs; or as acted out in Chico's chain of guesses when Harpo, with mounting urgency, charades his message that a woman is going to frame Groucho (both turns in A Day at the Races) The strange echo-y effect of "union, or onion" is a characteristic Cavell touch.

Lewis's husband paid Poe $100 to write a review of Sarah's work. That review appeared in the September 1848 issue of the Southern Literary Messenger. Marie Louise Shew (Virginia's one-time volunteer nurse, of sorts) later said that Poe called Lewis a "fat, gaudily-dressed woman." Poe's biographer, Arthur Hobson Quinn, called "An Enigma" "one of Poe's feeblest poems".

She took to working as a dresser in local theatres, including the Alex Theatre and the Hippodrome Theatre. Because of her distinctive appearance and gaudily dyed hair, repertory actors at the time took to referring to her as "The Bird of Paradise." A friend's suggestion that she should see the Sex Pistols led to her being attracted to the punk movement and yet resolving to do better, travelling to London to take up a career in acting and music.

Gomarus resigned his professorship at Leyden, in protest that Vorstius was not removed. The Counter-Remonstrants were also supported in their opposition by King James I of England "who thundered loudly against the Leyden nomination and gaudily depicted Vorstius as a horrid heretic. He ordered his books to be publicly burnt in London, Cambridge, and Oxford, and he exerted continual pressure through his ambassador in the Hague, Ralph Winwood, to get the appointment cancelled." James began to shift his confidence from Oldenbarnevelt towards Maurice.

Several pieces have been retained by family members dating as far back as 1784, including an illuminated Spiritual Labrynth by the renowned Pennsylvanian artist Heinrich Otto. In addition, Fraktur hand was customarily taught in local Mennonite primary schools. The local Fraktur art style, known as the Earl Township school, is characterized by the use of a two-headed bird motif and took the form of Vorschriften, gaudily decorated calligraphy inscribed in Gothic German script. The local schoolmaster at this time, Mr. Altsdorf, was reported to produce very beautiful works of Vorschriften.

Some consider the typical Barton sound to be "cruder" or "less refined" than the typical Wurlitzer sound, while others revel in its brash assertiveness. Dan Barton was a savvy businessman who knew the importance of showmanship in show business. Bartola, arguably more than any other manufacturer of theatre organs, designed instruments that would appeal to the eye as well as the ear. Barton's consoles—the most visible part of the organ to the customer—were almost always vividly (one might even say "gaudily") decorated, with striking designs and colors.

Dennis Harvey of Variety also disliked the film, calling it "a pic that's akin to a terrarium of plastic flowers -- gaudily decorative, but airless and lifeless". Scott Mendelson of The Huffington Post, however, pointed out that "The film is certainly a case of style over substance, and the utter lack of substance may be fatal for some viewers. But the picture boasts a unique visual palette and some interesting ideas ... Bunraku is not quite a good film, but it is surely a bad one worth watching for those who know what they are getting into".

A friend of Ukridge and Corky from Wrykyn school, where he was head boy in their last year, Tupper has a successful career in the Foreign Office, and a sentimental, earnest heart, which makes him an easy touch when Ukridge is short of cash, and leads him to lend his sympathy to the wildest schemes. He does, however, object when Ukridge, dining on Tupper at the Regent Grill, brings along the gaudily clad and plebeian Flossie. He has a somewhat pointy head, making his top hats rather unsuitable for borrowing by the larger-headed Ukridge. Tupper appears in several of the Ukridge shorts.

Sammy Lee has five hours to pay off a gambling debt. Andrew Pulver wrote in November 2016 for The Guardian, at the time of the film's re-release: "It’s a genuine curiosity: the last knockings of black-and-white, beat-influenced hipster cinema before a tide of gaudily-coloured, new wave-inspired, pop art films. Ken Hughes, its director, reached back to the pre-war working-class bohemianism so perfectly captured by Graham Greene and Gerald Kersh". The film was based on a 1958 television play written and directed by Ken Hughes which also featured Anthony Newley in the lead.

With the Great Depression and World War II no longer around to interfere with such modest luxuries, the picture disc reemerged in 1946, when Tom Saffardy's Sav-Way Industries began issuing Vogue Records. Vogues were a well-made product physically similar to RCA Victor's improved 1933 issues except that their core discs were aluminum instead of shellac. The Victor discs had been illustrated in high Art Deco style, often in sober but elegant black-and-white. Vogue's discs featured artwork done in the styles typical of 1940s commercial illustration and pin-up art, most of it gaudily colored, some dramatic, some humorous, some very cartoonish.

Valancy goes back to the doctor, who realizes that he sent Valancy a letter with a diagnosis meant for a Miss Sterling, who did have a fatal heart condition; Valancy's condition was never serious. As she arrives home from the doctor, with Barney still away, she finds a gaudily dressed man waiting near their home. He introduces himself as Barney's father, Dr. Redfern, the millionaire who invented Redfern's Purple Pills and other patent medicines. Years ago, Barney left town abruptly without word to his father, who had no way of tracking him down until Barney withdrew $15,000 from his bank account to buy Valancy's necklace, alerting his father to his whereabouts.

It is said that Sodoma jeered at Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Artists and that Vasari repaid him by presenting a negative account of Sodoma's morals and demeanour and withholding praise of his work. According to Vasari, the name by which Bazzi was known was "Il Mattaccio" (the Madcap, the Maniac), this epithet having been bestowed upon him by the monks of Monte Oliveto. He dressed gaudily, like a mountebank, and his house was a Noah's ark, owing to the strange miscellany of animals he kept there. He was a cracker of jokes and fond of music, and he sang poems composed by himself on indecorous subjects.

In 2006, Kay and her dramaturg, Ben Payne, interpreted the 1929 poem of the same name by Joseph Mancure March as a raucous dance-theatre piece, including a trio of jazz musicians (Percy Pursglove on trumpet and double-bass, Doug Hough on drums and Alcyona Mick on keyboard). Dance critic Judith Mackrell for The Guardian said it 'perfectly captures the gaudily self-conscious gestures of the wasted, their slippage between painful deliberation and shambolic blur... interleaving scenes from March's decadent jazz age with those from contemporary alcopop culture.' The show received five-star reviews in The Herald and Scotland on Sunday and was reviewed by The Times.

The great base of Nelson's Column is covered with them. Their number and variety are remarkable. Everywhere Lord Kitchener sternly points a monstrously big finger, exclaiming 'I Want You'".Taylor identifies this as Michael MacDonagh writing in 1935 and notes the "I want you" is not the words of the poster but of Montgomery Flagg's Uncle Sam One contemporaneous publication decried the use of advertising methods to enlist soldiers: "the cold, basilisk eye of a gaudily-lithographed Kitchener rivets itself upon the possible recruit and the outstretched finger of the British Minister of War is levelled at him like some revolver, with the words, 'I want you.' The idea is stolen from the advertisement of a 5c.

His images are frequently portraits from Weimar Germany in the years preceding World War II, although he has also employed still lifes as subject matter. These photographic images are recreated in large format, then distressed by the addition of pigment to form works which evoke strong reactions of melancholy or nostalgia, both in terms of their subject matter and their treatment. His work has been compared to the "gaudily tragic" Neue Sachlichkeit expressionist art of the Weimar era, with portraits of " figures whose faces seem to express the unbearable heaviness of a past trapped behind their eyes," creating images of faces that are "feral, yet knowing."Eggleton, D. "Night Has a Thousand Eyes: The Photographic Appropriations of Ben Webb", Art New Zealand 123, Winter 2007.

But considering it was a run-down pub in Melbourne run by the most gaudily dressed woman in the Southern Hemisphere, it didn't really come off, did it?" On 10 June 2003, Joe Roberts of the Daily Mirror reported soap fans had voted Lou's Place one of the best television pubs of all time, while Toadfish Rebecchi (Ryan Moloney) was voted the best television pub goer. In 2008, the pub was named one of the top ten television pubs and bars by Anna Pickard of The Guardian. She said "Although the Coffee House in Neighbours was arguably more important to the residents of Ramsay Street, Lou's gets included by dint of having the most rubbish name for a TV pub ever.

Tyrnavos holds an annual Phallus festival, a traditional "phallkloric" event"The Annual Phallus Festival in Greece" , Der Spiegel, English edition, 3 June 2008, Retrieved on 15 December 2008 in which giant, gaudily painted effigies of phalluses made of papier-mâché are paraded, and which women are asked to touch or kiss. Their reward for so doing is a shot of the famous local tsipouro alcohol spirit. Every year, from 1–8 January, mostly in regions of Western Macedonia, traditional Carnival festivals erupt. Best known of these is the () festival in the town of Kastoria whose celebration may date back to antiquity and whose name derives from the Latin word 'beggars', in reference to the beggars who could mingle with the rich in their masks.

As birds become flightless, their feathers soon lose the barbule hooks that keep them in shape, becoming more hair-like; when flight performance is of no significance anymore, this can improve the insulating properties of the plumage. Nothing is known about the plumage color of Eremopezus; it was presumably not very gaudily colored as it had to avoid apex predators, but little else can be inferred. Perhaps most likely it had white, black or grey feathers with at least some eumelanin but little carotenoids and phaeomelanins, as usual among the "higher waterbirds" in general, and specifically those that inhabit similar habitat. If it was a terrestrial animal, it might have been fairly short-necked; if it inhabited wetlands, its neck was probably not short and quite possibly rather long.

"Absurd moments: in the frocks of the dame" by Steve Meacham, Brisbane Times (15 September 2010) Humphries' characters have brought him international renown, and he also appeared in numerous stage productions, films, and television shows. Originally conceived as a dowdy Moonee Ponds housewife who caricatured Australian suburban complacency and insularity, Dame Edna Everage has evolved over four decades to become a satire of stardom – a gaudily dressed, acid-tongued, egomaniacal, internationally fêted Housewife "Gigastar". Humphries' other satirical characters include the "priapic and inebriated cultural attaché" Sir Les Patterson, who has "continued to bring worldwide discredit upon Australian arts and culture, while contributing as much to the Australian vernacular as he has borrowed from it"; gentle, grandfatherly "returned gentleman" Sandy Stone; iconoclastic 1960s underground film-maker Martin Agrippa; Paddington socialist academic Neil Singleton; sleazy trade union official Lance Boyle; high-pressure art salesman Morrie O'Connor; failed tycoon Owen Steele; and archetypal Australian bloke Barry McKenzie.

A minor role in Alfred Hitchcock's 1949 British production Under Capricorn was followed the next year by her most widely admired and best-known screen performance in the critically acclaimed Boulting Brothers-directed Seven Days to Noon, as Goldie Phillips, the woman who helps the desperate Professor Willingdon (Barry Jones). The character of Goldie was written as an ageing ex-chorus girl - brassy, excessively made-up and cheaply and gaudily dressed, whiling away her days gossiping and tippling in local public houses. Although not explicitly stated, the script strongly implied that Goldie relied on casual prostitution to make ends meet. With the open and unquestioning way in which she offered assistance and shelter to Willingdon, and her devotion to her little dog Trixie, Goldie came across as a cheerful, good-hearted soul and Sloane's performance earned much praise from critics for the mixture of humour and pathos she brought to Goldie's character, in a way that a younger or more glamorous actress would have been unlikely to have been able to achieve.
