(TV) Theory on the mysterious woman behind Tom's winter hat / RE: (TV) Picture of T.V.s Freezin' 1970s' Apt.

Deb, are you  talking about the image that's just to the left and above 
T.V.'s winter stocking hat?  Or are you talking about something else?  

If the former, my take is it's a poster of a woman tacked onto the 
wall/panel-of-windows behind Tom.

More likely it's just an irregular shaped hole in that wall and the shadows 
make it look as if it's a woman in profile with her head tilted downwards.  
Analogous to those images of Jesus or the Blessed Virgin Mary that Rapture-types 
and others are always seeing in an oddly shaped potato chip or a cheese sandwich.

(Of course, it could be Ms. Secret X stepping sideways out of the shower?)

More disconcerting to me is that as Tom sits freezin', Lloyd and Ferd Smith 
seems to be carefully examining a large rectangular basin filled with ice cubes!

"Those rooms were freezing and always dark /
But where we were never mattered / 
Your head was golden /
There was lightning in your arms /
And then the glass shattered."  

The reason the glass shattered was because it so freakin cold in that room.
