Toulouse Le Grandfig’s Summer Vacation: Amazonia

By on July 14, 2011 in But is it art?, Toulouse Le Grandfig

In the land of the AmazonsHermitage Villas, 3000 BC

I’m in the land of the Amazons. The women are giant. And cruel. They play a game called “Truncheons and Skulls” with the men.

The winners levitate the unfortunate survivors; these poor devils are forced to laugh at their ignominious floating before they are consumed by carnivorous haberdashery.

I weep. My cigar is flaccid. All-told, I am sorry to have left the boat.

Next Time: Onionania

About the Photographer: Toulouse Le Grandfig was a surrealist painter, photographer and writer who never gave up dadaism. Also, he was fond of mulit-layered conundrums that could be fried with garlic.

Marvellous Hairy is sorry to have left the boat. You know, you’re never supposed to leave the boat. Watch for tigers if you do. And cows. Originally published July 2008.

    I spent my first 3 years of university looking for giant, cruel women.

    Different strokes, I guess

    Yes, I suppose for some, Hermitage Villas could be a Field of Elysium…

    Brrrrr.
