It's time to...Critique a (non)Random

It's time to...
Critique a (non)Random Web Photo!

Usually, I pick a random photo off of the web, but today, I'm using MY photo that I took at the Halloween Street Fair in Dallas.  It's just too tempting.  And yes, I know this is the second time I've made fun of pictures of older gay men.  I have nothing against older gay men in general, but it's all about growing old with grace, okay?

  • First of all, if this is your grandfather, I'm sorry.  I'm not sorry that I'm posting his picture and making fun of it, you understand... I'm sorry for you.
  • Love the cigarette with the long, graceful ash.  That completes the look.
  • Those sandals?  Best part of the outfit.  And yet, they are still so, so wrong.
  • Bike shorts, eh?  Interesting choice.
  • Why did he let me take his picture? (probably because he didn't know what I was going to do with it!)
  • Do you get the impression that he knows Jim Nabors personally?  Because I kinda do.
  • "Well Shazam, Sergeant Carter!  I'm just going to Dallas for a few days!  Don't be sad!"
  • Polka dots on velvet is a very nice look.  For somebody else.
  • He is proof that the old adage "you can never go wrong with black" is not true.
  • I will give him this: his lipstick matches the burgundy lightening bolt on the front of his shirt.
  • "Andy, I'll have this here po-lice car all runnin' fine by morning!  Tell Opie and Aunt Bea 'Hey' for me, hear?  I'm just going into Mount Pilot for a little gatherin' of friends!"
  • Let's just think about this for a second.  He woke up that morning, and PLANNED that outfit.  If that doesn't scare you, then you have a vast, empty soul.  Or perhaps this is your grandfather and you're used to it.

Everyone please have a great Wednesday, and I'll see you back here tomorrow.


HEY!  Special thanks to oomp for his special photo edit job... I'm posting it here, hope you don't mind, oompmeister...
