I think what's best about this picture, at least for me, was that I didn't understand the title was literal. So, the surpise that awaited me after scrolling down was, well, off putting and then downright funny-I think both reactions hit me at the same time. I was expecting the image of a smug man in drag- not a smug penis in drag....
But I liked it!
I think it was the gingham that sold me. How can you not like gingham? Seriously! I know i've been in love with it since the first time I saw Judy Garlands blue frock in Technicolor. ;-)
Oh, now I know what I thought was missing from the picture; a little Toto dog in a covered pic-nic basket.
If you would like to say hello or how'd you do or just give me a piece of your mind, please feel free to drop me a line at karlpwebster AT gmail DOT com. Thanks.
'...I enjoy reading Stan Cattermole’s writing as much as I enjoy Mark Twain and Charles Dickens and Kurt Vonnegut. In fact, I have rarely read anything more painfully humorous and delightfully moving.'
I am a good man - loving and funny and true - wrapped in the body of a brutal, brutal mess. I also have a face like a bag of elbows. This is my curse. If you see me limping down a London street, do not judge me - because you do not know me. Just give me a smile, or if that proves too difficult, please try to look away without wincing. It really is the least you can do.
