As promised, more folks found the fresh concrete irresistible.
We already had Tiffany, Mary! And Quentin. A smiley face is the latest addition.
I will check soon and see if this pic is still accurate or if others added their monikers too. I felt no compulsion.

Unfortunate woman reveals the funny reason she can't have monogrammed clothing

Today's #genuary prompt is to write "Genuary" without using a font. I'm always intrigued by those "Inhabited Initials" found in older books, where the first letter in a paragraph is drawn using fancy illustrations, so I attempted to write the word by pulling public domain images of these initials from Wikimedia Commons. Initially, I wanted to automate scraping of the images from the site, but the search results were too inconsistent (searching for "A" returns images of other letters too), so I ended up manually curating the images. Try your own words on my website:

It’s all very French, an “inhabited initial” by François Emile Ehrmann with a topless woman, i think in a gillotage, a resin-based etching, made by Yves & Barret based on an engraving by Tilly. A team effort! The model who sat for the picture is not named.
Yesterday i posted the crescent moon here.
Etchings tend to feature blunter line-endings than engravings on metal.
