The Impossibility of Ecstasy in the Mind of Moira

 

Performance art time. This is Damian Hirst's debut art piece "The Impossibility of Ecstasy in the Mind of Moira". This features Bunty (Left) and Moira (Right" listening to Gene Pitney singing The Star Spangled Banner, and taking a pill of E every 26 minutes, until Thursday.

While Damian didn't win the Turner Prize for this, it did bring patronage from Potter's Pork Pies of Barnsley.

Ladies of the Church Picnic

 

While the men are huddled drinking beer, and the kids are off playing in the stream, the ladies 0f Saint Kenny's Episcopal Church in Nashville are preparing lunch.

And bitching about Lorena, that slut at Number 47.

Bonus - The Platypus Doesn’t Have a Stomach

Beachwear, Hats, Sunglasses ... and Maracas

 

What more could I say?

The Ladies of the Church Picnic

 

That hardly seems a fitting title for Miss Cruikshank, Mrs Hardiman and Mrs Fluffer (Or Mary, Madge and Flo to their friends). 

Single-handedly, they organise the St. Bobert the Wise Church Summer Picnic, then spend the day silently judging you.

Bonus - The Circle Of Life

A Simpler Time

 

At the request of very nearly a blog reader, (a Mrs Trellis of North Wales, I believe) we have another slide from Mrs Beryl Blood's collections of slides. 

Today, it's from he 1964 trip to Canadel in South France, and as with her slides of St Tropez, it's from a time before massive gentrification. I suspect that this little fisherman's village may have changed in the past 60 years.

Bonus - Also in France, the 2024 Olympics have started, Here's a video reminder of the 1988 Olympic opening, with...ummm... an unfortunate accident with doves. Viewer Discretion may be necessary.

The Anxious Debutantes

 

From my limited knowledge of young ladies' fashion history, the outfits for these two Southern Belles looks late fifties /Early Sixties.

But what do I know?

I do know that from their facial expressions....something is wrong.  A broken suspender belt?

Bonus - How World War II led to the invention of super glue

Chief Sandwich Makers

 

Every church picnic needs sandwiches, and in Ogdenville, that means Hetty, Betty and Liselle.

• Hetty specialises in Egg and Cress,
• Betty specialises in Chicken Mayo, with Bacon
• Liselle specialises in Bratwurst and Sauerkraut.

Lovely.

Bonus - Some Scots can't say "purple burglar alarm"

Another sunny afternoon

 

Here in 2023, it may be a little grey and overcast, but back in the year ... something, it was sunny and perfect for an evening in the sun.

This slide (sadly, blurred) is clearly related to this slide. 

Bonus - Classic British sitcoms like Fawlty Towers and ‘Allo ‘Allo! ‘contributed to Brexit vote’

Bonus 2 - The most dangerous substance known to man

The Welcome Party

 

These ladies are here to make your visit as much "Fun" as possible.

If you need anything, just ask.

No.... don't be smutty.

Bonus - 

Al-Fresco Dining

 

Alas, mid to late November is not the right time for al-fresco dining.

Luckily, it appears that Thelma and Dixie were photographed during a summer, many decades ago, and are classy enough to avoid using plastic cutlery.

Nice.

The Old Girls' Reunion

 

They had spent 1918 flat on their backs, entertaining the off-duty cavalry officers of Camp Pendleton.

Now, fifty years later, they reunited to remember the good times, the bad times, and (of course) Big George.

Bonus - 

Midge and Nancy -- Cruise Cougars

 

Every cruise has them, or so I am informed. Cruise Cougars: rich widows who go on endless Caribbean cruises, hoping to pick up some young male flesh.

In the unlikely event that an unattached hetero male does come aboard, the pack of cougars might tear him to shreds in an effort to get them. Thus, the background to the preponderance of gay male stewards on-board makes more sense.

Bonus - 

Sun Worshippers

 

Here in Slideville, this late November Sunday has had quite a few patches of sunshine, and it made me think of hot summer days with hot summer babes in bikinis. Like Madge and Gladys here. They do rather demonstrate the link between Tanning (exposur of skin to the sunshine) and Tanning (the treatment of leather to make it tough and resilient.)

Bonus - 

Phew. What a Scorcher

 

A Saturday in July, so I shouldn't be surprised, but ... Fork... it's damned hot today.

These two ladies have the right idea. Strip Off and Get Outside.

Bonus 2 - Today, I have been mainly listening to St Elwick's Neighbourhood Association Newsletter Podcast

The Golden Girls On Tour

 

Obviously not THE Golden Girls of sit come frame, but a gang of twilight years ladies, out for adventure and mischief.

Bonus - Speaking of the Golden Girls, Betty White started her television career in 1939, and is still going ! (Most recent role was in Toy Story 4 in 2019.

Bous 2 - Mieow Antoinette

and an Aluminium Christmas Tree

 

These two lovely ladies pose beside the marvel, and symbol of the 1950's - An Aluminum Christmas Tree.

There's a surprising amount of back-story to aluminum christmas trees, and is used as a Trope in Film and TV.

Bonus "We analyzed all-cause mortality among adults ages 25-44 during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. We find that COVID-19 has likely become the leading cause of death (surpassing unintentional overdoses) among young adults aged 25-44 in some areas of the United States during substantial COVID-19 outbreaks."

Florence and Jacqui at The Christmas Party

After a couple of Babychams, these two respectable members of the Butterley Bridge League would let their hair down and put on a little double-act for the attendees.

Depending on their mood, it could get rather filthy.

Bonus - Giant Sequoia (Human for scale)

The Four Wives of Flitsburg

I suppose that the Minister of the First Orthodox Church in Flitsburg could claim that he's been hoodwinked.

When four ladies of the community had approached him, and asked him to "Bless Their Friendship", he presumed the best. However, some of his parishioners know the secrey of the Dyke-Wives of Main Street.

Bonus - Confessions of The Hacker Who Saved The Internet.

The Bleach Cure Nurses

These two matrons of the community, are probably just proud of the daily cleaning and bleaching of the steps into their apartment block.

On the other hand, they could be the aunts who bullied Donald J Trump when he was a child. This may be the source of his internal bleaching strategy.

Hello Boys

After 40 days in social isolation, Isobel and Kath are rather lonely, and looking for some company.  Men under the age of 19 would e preferred.
