This is very good! Very clever! Well done.
I think it's unusual to find something new that really works in this section - well written!!

Knew the answer but the explanation was more fun.
I LOVED this one and it's so true!!
I'm wondering how I found this teaser 2 weeks ago! Still a good one!
That is a nice teaser! I would have never gotten it
Good teaser. Although I disagree with the saying. My spouses beauty goes 100% thruout the body.
I rarely get rebuses, but this one I saw immediately! I saw beauty and skin, and that's the only phrase that came to mind (the beauty was only on the first layer, the surface.) Good one! Thanks!
Great job! This one was very clever.
I really enjoyed this one. I appreciated the amount of layers you put in it!
P.S. HAPPY B-DAY DR. SEUSS!!!

I loved it! What a clever rebus. Thank you for posting it.
I originally thought it was nothing but skin and bones, but I couldn't figure out how it would represent it.
I love the message given in this fun rebus!!! Great work
I got it just from the first line, but do not understand why the rest of the lines were necessary. After the words skin, what does the rest of the words muscle, bone etc. have to do with it? The first line was all that was needed. Otherwise a good teaser.
For some reason I was stuck on "nothing but skin and bones". The answer came to me after a couple of readings.
Got me but I get it. FUN!
Nice teaser. I agree with Babe
I was pretty sure that I knew the answer, but I needed the hint to confirm it.
I agree with Babe. She took the words right out of my head, only 3 years before I could say them!
...but ugly goes clear to the bone.
Clever and original. I think the flesh, muscle, bones lines help convey the concept of depth, or shallow depth. I was stumped until I checked the hint. I did not properly interpret B-U-T as beauty.
I like this teaser a lot.
