Beautiful photos mjc925... reminds one of random happenings with sudden showers ... in home and outside. The fabric, wet, did not dissolve but became very lens friendly... What we sort of see is at time more spicy. Polyvinyl Alcohol thread can be woven into fabric, but it dissolves in water, making it useful for some crafts... perhaps even photography like your fascinating shot.
There is always great wet T Shirt contest.. ya gotta love them.
"There was a famous Hoax reported by Webb Miller (1891-1940). He was an American journalist best known for his war reporting. He was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 1922 and 1927. However, he also made a small contribution to the study of hoaxes." The story:
"In Paris I encountered an unusual illustration of the necessity of checking carefully even insignificant stories. My friend Bartley Grierson (this name is fictitious) obtained from a source he thought to be reliable a story about remarkable house parties given by a British millionaire on the French Riviera. According to information Grierson received, a new synthetic fabric had been discovered which instantly dissolved upon contact with salt water. The millionaire had a number of women's bathing suits made from the fabric. When he gave a party, he always suggested a swim in the Mediterranean and provided the suits for his women guests. The moment they entered the water, according to the story, their suits disappeared."
