Like Monet's paintings...Looks good from afar - but far from good close up

A person who looks great from afar, but is a mess up close. Used in the movie "Clueless" with Alicia Silverstone.

Monet; noun. Originating with the esteemed artist of the same name, the term Monet is used to describe a female who appears to be extremely attractive from a distance, but who then disappoints on closer inspection, thus having given the impression of being attractive. Those familiar with Monet's work will recognise that this also looks great from a distance, but is lacking in the finer detail.

Someone who from far away looks delightful but upon closer inspection is ugly as sin.
Origin: Clueless

(Mo-Nay, not Mo-NET.) A cool, easily annoyed person. Fun to be around, but not when they're pissed off at you. Monets need their space.

A hairy lower back. At first sight looks like a tattoo...but up close it's a hairy lower back.
