now for something completely different

Seemed like a good idea • click to embiggen
For about 29 years, during my commercial studio days, I spent what was probably an inordinate amount of time photographing women. There were a number of reasons for this proclivity.
1) I enjoyed it. 2) I was really good at it, so there was a never-ending stream of women to my studio door. 3) Eventually, a significant portion of my paid client work was 'fashion' work. And, 4) I really enjoyed it.
This picture was just for fun and for the model's book. I don't remember all the details but I do know that the green 'thing' was a chunk of the goo from which nerf products are made. At the time, I was working on an annual report for the company that made nerf products and during a shoot at the factory, one of my assistants grabbed this 'spillage' from the floor. It ended up hanging around the studio and during this shoot, it seemed like a good idea to paint it green, add teeth marks and a little 'blood'.
What else can I say? To paraphrase Little Charlie and the Nightcats - Sometimes, when you're thinking with the wrong head, some ignorant stuff seems like a damn good idea.

She doesn't look like John Cleese at all!
Aw, you're no fun anymore!
;-)
Imagine if you had been playing for a car...
This photo has a great polished look to it, the choice of the green backdrop is perfect...I just can't figure out what she is holding?
