[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me clear this up. Pile of books on her left, silhouette of a man on screen...[b]BUT, the dead giveaway is the size of her hoop earrings (age 25)[/b]. The medical gloves on floor hints that she may be in the medical field. The disarray is funny, but not unmanageable. Couple of prescription bottles may indicate a chronic illness; immuno issue, migraines, anxiety, whatever. Two cats doesn't mean a thing, yet it's purposely done to create maniacal speculation that her life is somehow less gratifying than yours.

She’s a woman of color. Hoop earrings are not a hard marker for age. I’m Afro-Latina and late 40s. I will be buried in my hoops.[/quote]
I’m white and I have the same hoops. Why are you so focused on her race/ethnicity? It’s not really the point. [/quote]

The PP claimed the hoops set the woman’s age at 25. Makes sense if the woman was not black or Latina. Hoops are trendy for young white women. Not the norm for white and Asian women over 30. You are clearly super-edgy and a fashion icon. [/quote]
I am a painfully normal 47-year-old white woman and I have hoops that big that I wear frequently.[/quote]
