Is that patchwork hippo supposed to be sexy? Because it's posed pretty sexily.

No, I don't want to think any more about this....

I'm glad someone told me that was supposed to be a hippo. Looked more like some purrvurt proto-plushy.

I remember those type of shoes sold at the time - rugged looking until you wore them in the rain when they promptly came apart at the glued seams or the compressed ground rubber soles disintegrated after the third wearing.

Hey! Is that Jefferson D'Arcy (Ted McGinley) wearing the shoes and painting?

Paint me like one of your French girls

(Tip: Don't Google that phrase unless you add the word 'cat' after it.)

If you think the hippo is sexy, you are in the right forum, because that is just weird.
