Some more photoshop work from Skink. Must be more pleasant than working on Paul Murray shots Skink. Shows The Lord Mayor about to battle Colin Barnett over city development wetblanketness. By the way. Whatever happened to Colin Barnett? He wins the election and sort of disappears. He can’t be asleep at the wheel already can he? Colin, you can’t run for office AND retire.

And on politicians, again from Skink. The remarkable picture of Stephen Smith that covers the window of his new office. Skink says…

I am reminded of the work of Guillaume Duchenne, a nineteenth century scientist who investigated how the muscles of the face worked.  He experimented on people with facial paralysis and attempted to make them smile by stimulating their facial muscles with electric shocks.  The results were truly gothic, and I suspect a similar method was used to get Stephen Smith to smile. Skink

Thanks Skink. I’m more reminded of the Messerschmidt Heads. Look ’em up, they’re good.

A Melbourne worst sent from The Parissite. The 67 bursting through is nice. A car to match Paris?

From Tim. A very odd ebay sale, claiming to be from Perth. Tim asks…

Is it a genuine product? I have no idea. What I DO know is that the seller is from Perth. I’ve been away for 9 years, have elephants become the pets of choice in Peppermint grove?

Yes Tim, with the financial meltdown, you ca expect to see a lot of these elephants come onto the market.

Unfortunately the bids are closed on this one., but he blurb says…

is your pet elephant stuggling to come to terms that it may rain. a freak shower or two and your pet elephant doesnt have a waterproof raincoat. WELL wait no more the fabulous makers at elephantysawarse.com have come up with a simply ingenious idea for elephants to have a raincoat…

Thanks everyone. Worst well.

    Re:Stephen Smith. Be fair. He has a rare congenital defect. All the muscles that should have been powering his lips have been diverted to holding up his hair.

    Re: Letterbox. I notice it’s at number 67. How hot must next door’s be?

    Re: Elephant. Is it’s ‘handler’ with the effeminate umbrella concealing, with hand in pocket, a penis of pachydermous proportions?

    Re: She-Ra. Nice job, Skink. Is this available as a poster? I’d like one to stick on my bedroom ceiling.

    I know, I was there and innocent though I was (Christ I never watched much TV in Italy – it’s shit), my Italian ladyfriend would shoot a wobbly every time the lovely MG got a mention.
    Vicarious jealousy.
    I don’t think that Meg fully appreciated the effect that she had on blokes.

    I see that Stephen Smith was voted Sexiest Male Politician 2008 by Crikey.

    I can only assume that voters have never been confronted with this image of Stephen whilst walking up Beaufort Street late at night.

    there is no accounting for taste

    for the record, Kate Ellis was Sexiest Female Politicain. All I can say is: va va voom.

    Troy Buswell polled poorly in the Golden Arsehat award for the most appalling person of the year. People seemed to think Robert Mugabe was worse.
