The paintings aren’t the only beautiful aspect of this blog either: Creator Nikki posts paintings of similar coloring together so that scrolling through her blog is just as visually pleasing as seeing each individual post. La Belle Fille showcases paintings of women to show how women are depicted through time and space-and how that depiction has changed, especially with the introduction of more female artists to the world. Women have nearly always been major subjects of the painter’s brush. After all, most of these Renaissance babies look like jerks anyway.

He brings humility, compassion and effortless humor to his role as Troy. Jacob Wysocki’s performance sets the precedent for actors and actresses of all different body types. It’s a story about one boy’s journey to define himself during the pivotal (and sometimes mortifying) teenage years.

He is the misfit in his family and his high school. Troy is an uninspired, self-proclaimed “Fat Boy” with an ex-Marine father and the perfect athletic brother.
