We are on this tour so that Cassandra can explore Indian testicles...er, textiles...I always get those two confused. Yesterday, we got on the big bus and motored off into the countryside to a little village (100,000 people) called Bagru...that may be wrong, but what do you care...you're still thinking testicles. There Cassandra turned her hands blue monkeying around with indigo...there are many things you don't know about Cassandra...like she loves to grovel around on the ground picking up old kite string just next to the pisswall...yes, just what you think it is. There are more cell phones in India than indoor toilets.
She bought a beautiful shawl yesterday...one with a big toenail sewn into it! I wouldn't have done this, but she bit that thing out with a skill I found astonishing! Don't worry, she didn't eat it.....as far as I know. Her shawl now has a toenail hole in it...but that makes it quaint...she says! She seems innocent enough when you first meet her, doesn't she? So she was dyeing some stuff...napkins or sleeping bags, I lose track...and I went off into the village to get some old man shots!
After all that stuff, we got back to the tour compound where there was a band waiting for me to dance!
I didn't want to show off, but I did anyway!
I had just stuck my single back flip here...the judges gave me a 9 because my legs were apart...
Here I am waving to my adoring fans after landing the double back....twice! They love me here! Today, we had a free day...a day we could go out and shop!...the day I put JUST ahead of "sliding down a 50' razor blade into a pool of iodine" day. Oh, lucky day. We went to the pot and pan bazaar...yes, it's every bit as interesting as it sounds. Fortunately, Cassandra caught a little interaction between TLD and one of my subjects..."Yes, I took your photo..."
Anyway, Cassandra bought a bunch of stuff...and I took these...
Tomorrow we get outta Dodge (Jaipur)...and head for Jodhpur...can't these Indians spell...who in the hell would put an "H" in Jodhpur...not as bad as putting an f'n Trump in the Whitehouse, but weird.
..."ya, see...right here..."
"...that's a picture of me?...HEY, THAT'S ME!"
..."Ya sneaky bastard!"
He was so focused on what he was doing, he had no idea I was even there!
Ah...stealing souls at 600mm!

Can't get my mind off of the blue testicles. Maybe you should do something about that.

Now I know how you get those facial closeups... letting them look at your camera closeup while it is reversed. You are sooo devious.
ReplyDeleteGlad Cassandra got some great shots of you interacting with the local old guys! They are priceless! I wonder what you'll look like when you get to be that old TLD. Hmmmm, maybe you can give us a clue :-)
