Overheard someone today loudly talking about how March is "wedding month." I've always thought that May was the start of wedding season, but whatever, it's March 1st so here's a bride post for whenever "wedding month" actually is. She's a cute little figure and made of wood, I think, and most of her lip and flower paint has rubbed off. She's astoundingly dirty too all dressed in white with that smudged face and chest, and OMG she only gets dirtier when you flip her over. Ummm... you know what I mean. Turn her around. Uhhh... the figure in your hand... rotate it so that you can see the backside of the figure in your hand. Now. If what you are seeing looks completely unfamiliar to you, then you are probably too young to be on this ridiculous blog in the first place.
Hey, waitaminit?!?
ReplyDeleteS/he certainly seems to have been fondled a lot, that's for sure. I'd think people would keep their marital toys a bit more sanitary, but what do I know?
So you'd have to accept somebody is utterly naive to think that was a mistake and not a novelty gift, so I'm going to assume novelty gift.
ReplyDeleteThe wrinkles into veins ... that's some quality thought, there. Maybe totally misused, but quality!
And one hopes the paint isn't rubbed off because it got ... used ...
I have seen a few of these naughty novelties from the 1920's and earlier online, some are more better made than others.
ReplyDeleteThat is the thing about going to antique stores, thrift stores, swap meet or flea market searching or garage or yard sale finds, you never know what you are going to stumble upon.
