I'm going to wash my hair in a few moments, so to encourage myself (I hate washing my hair ~_~) I'm posting this photo:


I don't know if I should be glad or not that I don't have a sumo wrestler to wash my hair for me... o_o Ah well, he probably wouldn't fit in my bathroom anyway... ;)

Lemurs by Olaf Cirut

I have a soft spot for lemurs, I admit it *_*. These two are from the poster for this year Grand Prix of Young Polish Print. Of course I missed the exhibition -_-, but it's not such a big deal, because the truth is that I’m more of a fan of lemurs than a print enthusiast :P
And besides, I got the catalogue and there’s plenty of lemurs in it :D (they were some kind of mascots of this event).

November sucks! :( 
It's getting colder and colder and the sky is clouded most of the time, and going out is the least thing you would want to do, and you wish you were  a bear so you could just stuff your belly with berries, ants and other delicacies from bears' diet (they must be quite nutritious ^_^), and sleep through the  winter... 
So to comfort myself  a little I took a walk down memory lane  (as you can see I have no inhibitions about using my dictionary ;) and went back to a day in July when I had seen this idyllic scene:



Aa... here is a man who knows how to enjoy his reptile... XD

I must say that for me and some of my friends the inflatable crocodile is a cult item. It appears in one of the key scenes of the movie "Knife in the water" by Roman Polański. Alright, it is NOT a key scene, but it's totaly idiotic :D In the movie the main character (Andrzej) and his wife (I don't remember her name) spend  a weekend  sailing on the lake in their yacht. In the scene in question, the wife is splashing around in the water floating on her inflatable crocodile, and at one point she utters the words that gained her a unique place in the history of the Polish cinematography:

"Andrzej, crocodile's blowing bubbles."

I bet my translation doesn't convey the awkwardness of the sentence. The expression she used is normally used only when someone is blowing  soap  bubbles,  you don't  say it  when  there's a leak  in your inflatable crocodile! Anyway, the whole scene is absurd! Well, for me the mere idea of inflatable crocodile is absurd itself XD. So when I saw this guy embracing his croc so ardently, I couldn't resist and bought one as a present for my friend. She called it Marcin, but unfortunately it doesn't blow bubbles. ;))

Today I have an honour (and real pleasure) of presenting to you the Communist Swine! Here it is, in all its shameless glory! XD

The picture also proves once again that communism was a regime which wouldn’t have shrunk from defying the natural order and actually managed to make pigs fly!! (Maybe that was the reason why pork was rationed and usually almost impossible to get – most of the meat-to-be simply flew off in unknown direction. Probably to the West -_- )

 

And speaking of circus, an exhibition of Federico Fellini’s drawings and costumes used in his movies is going to be open tomorrow in my town. I musn’t miss it! (oh, I always say this, and somehow always miss all those not-to-be-missed events -_-‘) I hope there will be some costumes from “Rome” to see, especially those absolutely crazy outfits from the ecclesiastical fashion show! Like this one:

Definitely my favourite, not very controversial one, but the models gave a really unique performance (what with holding hands and gambolling on roller skates +_+ - you don't see such feats in church usually, what a shame). The name of this creation says it all: “Au Paradis toujours plus vite” ≈ Ever faster to Paradise! XD  Amen!
