The return of rich Corinthian leather!
Actor Ricardo Montalban stands behind a Chrysler Córdoba automobile in an ad from the 1970s with the caption “Rich Corinthian leather.” The "rich Corinthian leather" meme references a marketing term used to imply a luxurious, foreign-made product. The term was invented for advertisements, but the product was actually made in Newark, New Jersey. "Corinthian leather" isn't a real type of leather. The meme mocks the term's pretentiousness and attempts to appear sophisticated

Sure it’s cold out, but my heart shines with the heat of 1000 suns.
A sable Sheltie sits and looks up at the camera. He has a bright green leash. The weather is sunny, but cold. He is very floofy.

Here’s our pic with alt text:
A picture of two people posing outdoors for a selfie with their sable Sheltie in-between them. The woman on the left is wearing a black jacket, blue and white and yellow patterned knit ski hat and rose-tinted glasses. The man on the right is wearing a dark blue jacket, a gray Irish plaid flat cap and Ray-Ban Wayfarer-type sunglasses. They are smiling.

Perfect lazy Sunday.
A Sheltie naps on a couch next to their human. In the background, a tabby cat sleeps on a Streight Slumber Chair. An open window lets a delightful breeze in. All is well.

Trippy evening in the woods.
Pink and red shafts of light cut through the woods creating a trippy effect for the viewer, like a rave for elves and other fey creatures.
