Inspiration, Part 9

More visual inspiration used for my current work in progress:
 









 
Not much else to report: just working lots, and so very, very* tired.
 
I did, though, see something interesting the other day when I was walking down the street to file documents at the Federal Magistrates' Court.
 
There was an elderly woman with a trolley. In the trolley wasn't groceries. Nor a pet dog. Instead, in the trolley, there was a life-sized cardboard cut-out of celebrity chef Curtis Stone.
 
As I walked past I asked, 'Did they let you take him home did they?' (they being Coles as I don't think anywhere else would have a life-sized cardboard cut-out of Curtis Stone).
 
She smiled and said, 'Let's just say that this is the only boyfriend I'm getting, love.'
 
It was hilarious, but also a little sad.
 
Maybe Coles should start handing out free Curtis Stones to all old, lonely women that shop at their store.
 
But I'm still intrigued. Did the lady steal Curtis, or buy him?**
 
...
 
 
*Here you may insert 'very' as many times as you like.
 
**I wonder if it cost her under $10. Oh, the irony.

  1. Good on her... and that lightbulb looks like something that would happen to one in my home! YAY for broken lightbulbs... or not....?

  2. You have spontaneously exploding lightbulbs filled with erratic thoughts in your home?

  3. Oh absolutely.
    Don't you?
    Oh, and by the way, thank you ever so much for your competition entry!... there is just one thing, you didn't actually answer the "What is so special about animals" question.
    Sorry to ask, but can you just pop over to TDT and add an extra comment for that?
    Thank you! ( :
    And did you see my WTWCTW converse post? ( :

  4. Unforuntately not.

    Oh, how terribly lazy of me. I shall make sure I get around to doing that by tomorrow at the latest.

    Of course I saw the Converse post - I must say it was quite awesome, plus more.

    Talk soon,

  5. Oh, shame; as a matter of fact, that is actually a lightbulb from my very own home... truly it is... mmmm... yes sirey it is!
    Ok, it's not really.

    Thanks for your finalised entry, good luck!

    Thanks, I thought you'd probably like it!
    I saw these awesome vintage purple high top converses on etsy, they were 2.99 and 15 postage and rocked... but they would've been too big.
    Amazing though they were!
