    What in the *HELL* is going on in this pic??
    I don’t get it.

    Maybe it’s a deflated blow-up doll?

    Using all the computing skills at my command, I turned my laptop upside down and, with keen eye and bated breath, analyzed the picture.

    The flat specimen on the model (assuming that something resembling a laquered Q tip could be in the class of models) is none other than ex, defunct, gone-to-a-better place, de-commissioned,…

    Peter Jennings.

    This may or may not be significant.

    Are you sure it’s not Sam Donaldson?

    Looks to me like Prince Charles.

    I thought it was Mr. Rogers!!

    I’m voting for Tony Blair. There’s something about the eyebrows….

    The man scarf flowing up overhead as one is being bucked and bronched…poetry in motion, ah he blinded me with science…

    No, sorry, it’s P. Jennings, alright.

    You can tell by the smug way he holds himself even though sustantially devoid of a third dimension and bereft (if bereft is the word I want) of the all-important will to live.

    Oh, Peter. What have you become? Here today. Flat tomorrow.

    Still, you could wrap quite a few tasty sandwiches with that spacious forehead. What is that–about a half acre?

    Lance de Boyle? Please, your name and the image of a “few tasty sandwiches” are not compatable.

  11. Lance de Boyle August 18, 2005 at 10:59 pm #

    Alright, then, we shall make that

    “…a few necrotic and significantly loathsome sandwiches that (as with P. Jennings) are well past their expiration date.”

  12. Karen August 18, 2005 at 11:07 pm #

    Yes, that’s better Mr. de Boyle.

    AskMom places for the consideration of all, the fact that this model seems to be the offspring of Sonny Bono and Liza Minelli. After that horror is is noted, can any outrage of the scarf even begin to compare?

    The Gidget thought the model was emulating the Galliano. The designer, not the liqueur.

    Maybe he couldn’t wear the scarf to the rodeo, but the hat? Stolen from a rodeo clown.

    Oh dear.

    Could this not be the Inspector Jacques Clouseau of the new millennium???

  18. sandyg August 19, 2005 at 8:21 am #

    Would prefer to think it’s George W, who is after all on vacation and has little to do but clear brush and avoid protesters. Collapsing around someone’s neck seems more or less in order, no?

    I thought it looked like the late Tony Randall…

  20. Lance de Boyle August 19, 2005 at 10:19 am #

    The eyes of the model. Windows to an empty room.

    The moustache of the (aforementioned) model. An artfully arranged segment of shoelace.

    The hands of the (overcome with emotion) model. Expensive prostheses.

    The hair of the model. A terrifying comb-over not at all improved by the two coats of black enamel.

    Tony Randall? Perhaps. But would not the Randall be placed face down?

    Have you all gone mad and not noticed the VERY SCARY man sporting Peter Jennings? Two-dimensional flat-man scarves are the very least of my concerns upon spotting this EEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  22. Cat August 19, 2005 at 2:12 pm #

    Are you sure it is a man and not a cardboard cut-out of a bad Prince impersonator?

  23. jrochest August 19, 2005 at 3:49 pm #

    I’d say it’s a woman wearing a paste-on moustache.

    Look at the hands and the neck.

    And the site the image is taken from is absolutely terrifying: ‘bad fashion’ indeed!

    Manolo, will you marry me?

  25. desertwind August 20, 2005 at 3:04 am #

    Er, sorry — spontaneous outburst there, Manolo!

    Why was I not surprised this Man Scarf came from a Belgian designer? The Belgians — especially the Flemish — are very, very special people.

    PS — I just learned The Every Brothers wrote “he aint heavy”. What haven’t those guys wrote?

    Zippy cannot think of a better ending for Peter Jennings, finally wrapped up!
