Disturbing

Cecil, Ira and Quentin have exhibited disturbing reactions to the post of Glass Dresses.

Initially Cecil wrote:
“I’ve been unable to find you any suitable postcards, puritanical place that this is.
However at a gathering of ‘The Thirsty Moms’ (they roll over in laughter at the idea one would put a ‘u’ in Mom) I was introduced to the glass work of Karen La Monte.  So impressed by the images was I that I’ve posted some in the blog today.  I’ve attached two, that make my fingers tingle with anticipation, then I think just how hard and cold glass is.  Still the buttocks and breasts look somewhat alluring. It almost seems close to necrophilia.  Disturbing?”  and included these two images

Ira responded with:
“Aha!  One has begun to suspect, despite your protestations to the contrary, that these photos  are cold snaps of some ravishing Ice Maiden whom you are presently attempting to thaw out. I can easily imagine you, rigid and glassy-eyed in the face of this seemingly frigid female, as you coldly go about your overheated seductions.
Splendid glass work, stunningly life-like.  What skill must be involved when you realize how difficult a medium this is to work in.  I don’t suppose there’s the smallest chance, in the dead of night, when all men of good conscience are abed, you might purloin half  a ton of this work and ship it to the Tolmie Market where great fortunes might be made?

The Scots pronounce ‘stone’ as ‘stane’, For a long time I thought Yellowstone National Park, founded by a Scotsman, was where nocturnally yellowed y-fronts go to die.

And on that vulgar note-
Reservoir,
IRA”

not to be totally outdone Quentin added his two bob’s worth:
“Ha ha, your mention of Ice maiden, reminds me of Julius Caesars great words, ‘I came, I thaw’.  Indeed , as I am old enough to remember that cold night in 76 as we camped at the old CRB shed at Tolmie, (recently renamed ‘the left leaning mens shed’) with snow some feet thick all around, ( pre climate change) I had a dream about a maiden such as this emerging from between the empty 44 gallon drums of distillate, and the pile of screenings, torch in her hand, and dressed in vivid white, beckoned me, and with words spoken more softly than the falling snow, touched my outstretched hand, and caressed my index finger.  I shall never know………
I’ve got to let you know that the lunch with …,  went extremely well, and though I stayed for four hours cannot remember a word of what was said.  Suffice to say it was a very agreeable four hours.  I played him a bit of …. on the computer, and described you in glowing terms cos I think he has a minds eye image of something crossed between James Joyce, Joyce Grenfell, and Arthur Askey.  I’m sorry about this, but I did my very best.
 
Anyway a small consignment of the stuff what I gave him may turn up today, tis only a fragment, but it shall remind you that I have prepared a cache of original drawings which I shall be sending express post and certified to speed your recovery from the Distended Testicular Unit.
 
Please feel free to plaster the drawings, (when they arrive) around the wall of your study, and I hope Georgie enjoys the 1960’s nurses uniform,  and the Razzle compendium.  It is near mint condition, though the centre section of Miss Bulgaria has been retained for my personal aesthetic gratification.
Yours in Pensive Mendacity.
