So many images, so little time.
I took this shot earlier this month at the Brooklyn Flea. This place was a treasure trove of the bizarre. Looking through the shots of the summer this one was begging to be featured. After the Krazy Glued penis caper I could not help but think this little guy was awfully symbolic. Oh, and I saw this right after Michael Jackson died in the height of MJ fever. Any connection? Can’t you picture him in this get up?
This artifact begs a few questions:
1. Who designed this item, for mass market, no less? And for what purpose? I am thinking this could easily be one half of a nesting salt and pepper shaker from the 50’s. Like the dancing bears my mom had. Hey, Ma, do you still have those?
2. What is the significance of the crotch grabbing? Protection? Masturbation? Or simply the need to pee?
3. Why do I think that this little guy could star in a nightmare I will have real soon. One where all the weird stuff I have taken pictures of will come alive and start chasing me.
Oops, sorry, I probably should not let the inner workings of my warped mind out of the bag so candidly.
Oh, right, isn’t that what I have been doing here from the beginning?
The biggest question of all: Why did I not purchase this little guy?
Stay tuned for more oddities from the flea market on days I have nothing to write about.
