My World Tuesday: A Mule, a Winged Woman

IMG 6218

Here is the rest of my parents' neighbor featured below. Leaving him behind in the country and heading down to New Haven will put you in the company of this damsel, who is lovely but about as conversant as a mule.

This artist chick hangs around the Yale Art Gallery all the time. She's a liberated lady and doesn't mind if you stare. We did; she didn't flinch.

  3. lol... what we call a liberated woman, my mom would have called a brazen hussy. She's a pretty thing, though... if you go for the slightly masculine facial structure found in classic beauties.

    I commented on your mule on the last post. Not too much to add here...

  4. I always love your photos, but your commentary makes them so much more special! I like the lady in this post, with her very real tummy instead of an infomercial's six-pack thanks to the Abdominiser. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era...

  5. Sandy: She may not mind if you stare because she is cold because of her lack of dress.

    I like the mule (and the previous eye close-up) and the portrait of a real woman in stone. The art world was much more believable before airbrushes and digital cameras.

  19. The rest of the mule isn't quite as cute as just the eye! But he's a great contrast to the winged lady, except for their lack of conversation, and perhaps not much sense of humor, either.

  23. The mule reminded me of an old TV show, the talking horse Mr Ed. :) The winged lady looked beautiful.

  42. I suppose I'd be telling on myself if I mentioned Francis the talking Army mule wouldn't I?

    Yeah... thought so.

    And hey. Who doesn't love images of women lying around naked in the outdoors.

    Eating fruit.

    Recumbent.

    Those Yalies really know how ot live don't they?

  48. The mule has such a sweet face, very curious about what you are doing.

    We could all learn from that lady. No matter what they say about you don't give a care about it just go on and be yourself.
