Type The Tyke 3

You should all be able to see the votes now, and at this time I'd normally add another picture. But before I do, I want to play a new game called "Let's Assume Everyone Who Voted Knows Something". (And they do, and they've all played Type The Tyke before).

So we have four votes for sp/sx and one for so/sp. Can we conjecture anything about the stacking range, especially given that the so/sp went with 5w6?

Also, anyone who didn't vote yet can vote on the thread but not on the poll (it's locked), and anyone who wants to change their vote can do that on the thread too.

"I think this is how you type Bacall"

Bacall's typing is discussed here (but the post refers to one two posts above it with a yt interview that's been removed.) This tyke's relationship to Bacall typewise should get pretty interesting but I don't want to let too much of the cat out of the bag.

What I was fishing for about the stacking range was that if four out of five people said sp/sx and the fifth said so/sp (on 5w6 no less), it suggests the stacking range may well be SP/sx (which I used to indicate rather clumsily as sp/sx<---so/sp, for 'drawing on' so/sp). I now call it the 'single variant' and Typewatch's name for it, 'Ascetic', is one of the ones that seems to work. There is often like a priestly or ceremonial aspect with very heavy sp on sp/sx and it can seem pure (like One); it can also be very removed (like 5w6 and 1w9). What's interesting is that the Tyke seems to me to be midstream in this photo and if anything headed for the 'decadent' side (double variant sp/SX). BUT I'm almost positive she IS in fact SP/sx Ascetic. Anyway I'll just put up a couple more photos for now.

Any new votes? Changes? Comments?

I'll put one older one tomorrow and then do the reveal.

Maybe. I don't know how head-centered she looks and it's hard for me to be objective about it atm since this is a very unusual person who presents several typing problems. Did the two people who chose the 6/7 line, vincent and Amy , think she looked so head-centered in the first photo? Did they perhaps waiver between 6/7 and some non-head type lead?

But whatever else she looks there, the child in the original photo also looks extremely sexual, to the level of a Nabokov "Lolita" and I totally agree with vincent that from that photo alone, and without anthony 's 'outlier' vote, I would have assumed sp/SX. Or perhaps sx/sp of some range--which explains part of @cardia 's observation of similarities with Lauren Bacall. That ten year old tyke has a reflexive 'come hither' look far beyond her years especially considering it was decades ago; the word that comes to mind is 'beguiling'. So much so that I'm curious if anyone was 'tempted' to choose Two as main type or thinks it's the image fix.
