^{Is she smoking a cigaret, or is that a ring? Sca (talk) 13:57, 18 February 2015 (UTC)}

^{Both, I think! There is certainly a ciggie, held between the 1st and 2nd fingers, but the splash of color a bit further down looks like it's on the ring finger... -SchroCat (talk) 14:12, 18 February 2015 (UTC)}
