From the grave, Leonardo conjures up a vision of the quintessential gay Thailand tourist or expat . . . holding up his own (invisible) beach umbrella. Jomtien Beach as the new Florence.
Like Shakespeare, there's nothing in his big world which Leonardo did not see: we're lucky he sometimes speaks to us, if only in a dream. How perspicacious, how charming, how sensual ... the small dark (inviting?) shadows at the G-spot, caused by a passing Eclipse of the Belly.

Try this little test on your own bod. How "in proportion" are you? (Warning. If you can't reach far enough to make some of the measurement ~ the 'hands' part doesn't count ~ then you aren't :blackeye: )
If you're a woman, the measuring doesn't count either. Leonardo didn't do women.
* a palm is the width of four fingers
* a foot is the width of four palms (i.e., 12 inches)
* a cubit is the width of six palms
* a pace is four cubits
* a man's height is four cubits (and thus 24 palms)
* the length of a man's outspread arms is equal to his height
* the distance from the hairline to the bottom of the chin is one-tenth of a man's height
* the distance from the top of the head to the bottom of the chin is one-eighth of a man's height
* the distance from the bottom of the neck to the hairline is one-sixth of a man's height
* the maximum width of the shoulders is a quarter of a man's height
* the distance from the middle of the chest to the top of the head is a quarter of a man's height
* the distance from the elbow to the tip of the hand is a quarter of a man's height
* the distance from the elbow to the armpit is one-eighth of a man's height
* the length of the hand is one-tenth of a man's height
* the distance from the bottom of the chin to the nose is one-third of the length of the head
* the distance from the hairline to the eyebrows is one-third of the length of the face
* the length of the ear is one-third of the length of the face
* the length of a man's foot is one-sixth of his height
