Follies of the Madmen #453
The wealthy always employ midgets to help them dress. Seriously, what size is that person standing on the chair? Maybe the gal in undergarments is a giant?

Follies of the Madmen #435
Is it just me, or is the notion of an army of clones on the make for a lone gal a creepy thing?

Macho Cologne by Faberge
Does the bottle resemble a manly hammer?
Or does it resemble something else?

Cheap Perfume and Candlelight
"It's so easy now to swing/When the swing set feels just right.."
So you think you're quite a man
You're taking care of all her needs
Sometimes it's even twice a weekend
At least it's every time you need
Yeah, it's so easy now to swing
When the swing set feels just right
Like a fifty dollar room
Cheap perfume and candlelight
'Cause once you thought the thrill as gone
Your passion seemed to fade and die
You left a woman back at home
Alone and so unsatisfied
You hit the street to feel the thrill
Of the hunter in the night
Your prey was out there dressed to kill
In cheap perfume and candlelight
Cheap perfume and candlelight
The situation makes the man
If you can't make it back at home
You make it any way you can
And you can, it's so nice
That now you can
Maybe you'll never stop to think
Just for the true test did it be
Love your ever loving manhood of your masculinity
If you could satisfy the woman
Right back at home there every night
Instead of now and then
The girl in cheap perfume and candlelight
Instead of now and then
The girl in cheap perfume and candlelight
Instead of now and then
The girl in cheap perfume and candlelight

Do You See It?
Do you see an image of a person, place or thing on this brain scan? If so what do you see? If not tell that too. No cheating, only go to the link after you tell us what you see if you see anything at all.

Gender Neutral Pronouns
The use of gender neutral pronouns such as ze and xem, amongst others is being encouraged on the campus of the University of Tennessee. Administration wants to be welcoming and all inclusive to new students and I quote, “We should not assume someone’s gender by their appearance, nor by what is listed on a roster or in student information systems,” #down the rabbit hole.

Maybe the combined brainpower of WU can solve this mystery.

Even Dwarfs Started Small
Perhaps these clips will give you some small taste of my weird viewing experience last night: Werner Herzog's Even Dwarfs Started Small.First, the movie's "theme song," heard at intervals throughout.
Next, a scene from the middle, where sighted dwarves torment blind ones.
Finally, the closing scene.
Rent this immediately, to cement your standing as a true WU-vie!
