I like Louis. I spotted him a while ago on the wall of an office in an Indian movie, being used to signify that the office was prosperous and progressive enough to own modern art. But, I'll go with Lotto just the same. And the dress for Elizabeth.
As the internet's preeminent site for interactive, democratic art appreciation, Infinite Art Tournament frees great art from the straitjackets of chronology and categorical conventions in order to put it in a new straitjacket of its own devising. The IAT further seeks to delight its community of creative, bracingly intelligent, and drop-dead sexy readers with glib but cheerful dispatches from the worlds of literature, film, the visual arts, music, chemistry, Shakespeare, postal ephemera, vexillology, and hagiography. College football rarely comes up.

Lotto, but Louis reminds me happily of early 1980s fashion.

Lotto takes down the new kid, nine votes to four, and moves on to the Second Round. Thanks for voting!
