Recalcitrant Pumps III - The Experience Evolves


Before re-posting this one let me say there was obsolutely no set up whatsoever involved - life can just be strange like this - blogger's word of honour, which should settle the matter - LOL!

I've done two some might be tempted to say quirky posts over the last couple of years - 'Recalcitrant Pumps' (19 November 2007) ...


... and 'Recalcitrant Pumps 2' (20 July 2008) ...


... to put on record a recurring and somewhat surreal experience. One that usually happens on the way to my favourite Kings Cross cafe for a morning latte, and perhaps this may turn out to be significant?

Well, there was a recurrence this morning, which I instinctively knew would require another post.

As I wandered home, naturally my mind was racing with all sorts of angles - from Marcel Duchamp's 'objets trouvés', such as his 1917 urinal as a fountain ...


... to the more obvious foot fetish implications ...


On a mundane and surface level, of course this particular sighting suggests the aftermath of a night of wild partying ...


... and the inherent complications of getting home in the morning ...


But I'm open to other interpretations - cos I'm a guy with less than rigid and fixed opinions.

So, guys, does this say something about me and what I attend to?

Or do you reckon there are there other forces at work here?

  1. Ah, yes, it's true. The Cinderella Story is timeless.

    But this version leads to some questions:

    1) did you find Prince Charming a few blocks away, gazing pensively into his super latte with 2% organic milk and a touch of cinnamon while wondering what happened to the young lady at his ball?

    2) did you find Prince Charming busily texting and using the latest apps on his iPhone to find the location of his mysterious lady on Goggle Earth?

    3) since you found the almost-brand-new golden pump...are YOU, Dear Nick, Prince Charming in disguise?

  2. hi paul (Pr. C 1)

    yep, my initial instinct was that we had an early morning Cinderella situation

    1) had i found prince charming a few blocks away i sense i'd have taken him home ... telling him all the way we'd be able to find cinderella, and my place could be the base of operations

    2) and i have the strangest feeling that prince charming would somehow misplace his iPhone ... shortly after arriving at chez moi

    3) 'oo geeez' (accompanied by a shy smile) - you say THE nicest things!

    in fact that you know so much about what could have happened here makes me mightily suspicious prince charming ... is no other than the first person to comment on this post - any confessions!

    best
