Good Fellas

From this morning at the Huntington.















I told you men were lovely.















And they make sure the lawn is mowed. Or is it mown? Whichever you use, they'll be sure to correct you. Because they're lovely. And tiresome. And think they're always right.

Have a good morning, did we?

Especially lovely when they have a jaunty hip sway happening.

the "good fella" on the bottom has the most beautiful left foot. Speaking of feet, I have a favor to ask you.

Cafe Observer said...

The word you were probably thinking of was, "mooned."

Well I hear ya. What Paris needs is more "nekkid" men statues and less women. Of course there's the Rodin. I never miss that place.

Another reason you need to visit the Huntington Virg. Not a single one wears jeans. Or a leaf.

Laurie said...

There's one with a leaf. My daughter spotted him on the trek back from the children's garden. Her comment was, "Mommy, why does that stone man have a plant on his hoo hoo?"

Margaret said...

Ahhh...hoo hoos

Jean Spitzer said...

Classical sculptors valued the small in hoo hoos.

altadenahiker said...

Yeah, what's up with that Jean? Don't leave us dangling.

Wayne said...

hoo hoo? That's a first.

Soilman said...

It's mown. And I'm definitely right. Always.

And tiresome.

Virginia said...

L.A., we call em "hoo hoo's" around our house too. No leaves to be found here in Paris. Lord have mercy!

I'm a simple girl. I prefer 'thingy'.

Ken Mac said...

tiresome buttocks. Ugh.

Jean Spitzer said...

I assume it has to do with the sculptor's life.

MuseBootsi said...

Did you see the corpse flower?

altadenahiker said...

I assume you are not speaking metaphorically, Muse.

Yes, the famous foul flower should unfurl around july, I think. The Huntington is on alert, and I'll let you know.

the butts are still there! They need a nice folding lawn chair....

pasadenaadjacent said...

To much emphasis on the fella's penis. I've been trying to figure out the name of the object that the sculpture leans on. I'm sure some term exists for it. Along with his BEAUTIFUL feet, I'm drawn to his lean-to. Looks like a stalk of some sort.

Mister Earl said...

PA: He does seem to be a "stalker."

Karin: I'm going to need some banana leaves for my next project.

altadenahiker said...

I take it you're not Greek.

Virginia said...
