      Annotations and explanations:
      1A - standard def. + cryptic def.
      7A - GEL<
      9A - B[ig] + WOLF* around A + [-ho]USE
      10A - (AI ART)*, a TIARA is a prize for a miss
      11A - grOOM PHotos
      12A - UN[-c]LE + AS + HE + D
      13A - C[rosswor]D containing NOSE* + RE (note), the definition is like many 4-letter words
      14A - M[oose] + [squ]IRR[els] + [ding]O + [co]R[gi], ape or parrot is a classic misdirection for MIRROR, MIMIC and the like
      17A - AGED around R[eal] E[state], "Agreed!" = "Deal!"
      19A - Spoonerism of BACK BLOCKS

      27A - NOTRE + ALLY. Notre Dame means Our Lady if you didn't know
      28A - L[ettuce] + IE. Just "whopper" works as a clue for LIE but it's defined as a verb here (to say a whopper)
      29A - (LATE MOTHERS)*

        That was fantastic - very fun to solve. Really laughed when I got 4d! Enjoyed 8d, 9a, 13a… lots of playful ideas. Wordplay all seemed solid too & appreciate the annotations for the few I wasn’t quite certain with 👍👍
        • AuLeaf 🤓22:36 · 2024-11-11T00:21:50.666Z
          Very nice! Only quibble would be the nounal anagrind in 29A, which doesn't quiiiite work for me, but pretty minor. Great work, some very neat clues (9A was quite inventive!)
          • dilly 🤓34:32 · 2024-11-11T00:41:59.632Z
            Basically all bangers but I think 27A was my personal favorite, thanks!
