Horned for his pleasure

Harvey kindly kept The Worst of Perth in mind even when overseas. He saw this in Aukland New Zealand. Shades of THIS perhaps? Or as bad as THIS? Jeez, I don’t like the look of yours mate. Thanks Harvey. Lovely shot.

    What’s worse: the headpiece or the dress?

    Yes the head is hideous and the dress a crime against women, but will no one mention the hand written sign?

      I was trying to think of a humourous way of bringing it up, WAtching. But since you ask, what the fuck is with the picture of the hand on the sign? You could murder Bolsheviks with a thumb like that.

        Back in Rome the same hand would signal a stay of execution.

        I guess the goat/sheep mask is SOOoo saturnalian…

        oh, its a hand

        I thought it was a dick with three bollocks

        maybe the genitalia of the alien from the saucer

        and a diembodied cat with a flattened head

        80% off the cat

        I think my mum used to make dresses like this for my sisters using random bits of leftover curtains in seventies’ patterns

        big hit they were.

        one of them was modified with an elasticated neckline and we used to have to put it on and get changed under it at the beach

        scarred for life I am.

    The horns look perfectly ergonomic for deer FFing (which in the future will replace air kisses, I have heard)

  10. This reminds me of happy times spent at Myer Perth, redistributing the hands I discretely detached from mannequins. I’d carry them across half the store and put them in handbags, under piles of clothes, etc, or – best of all – sticking out from the front breast pockets of a mannequin looking out upon the Forest Place walkover, giving her a look of a perpetual surprise. The last time I went perhaps a little too far, and was eventually escorted from the store by a burly security guard, though not before reaching a count of some 30 hands, and offering to shake “hands” with said goon, who disgustedly tore the hand I proffered from my own. Much to my delight, no one seemed to notice the surprised mannequin until the display was changed a week or so later. I wonder if the saturnalian aspect of our crime against fashion was the result of a similar act of absurdism.
