3. Other Interesting Stuff
It has been a while since I have done a Friday Funny. The recent Trash the dress, opened up the opportunity, I could not turn down. I did have an excellent time on this shoot. Let’s face it… Trash the Dress shoots are just a lot of fun. When you are dealing with animals and children for that matter, you always bring in the element of surprise, which always allows for fun photos. Here are a few, as well as some .
When Ya Gotta Go, Ya Gotta Go
Hey, What’s in There?
Centaurs, according to Greek mythology, were said to be the offspring of Ixion, son of Ares, and a cloud. These strange creatures had the head arms and chest of a man but the legs and lower half of a horse. In later myths and stories they sometimes had horns, wings or both. Back to Greek mythology, these Man-Horse beasts lived in Thessaly, fed on meat and were given to riotous revelries. They came to symbolize the dark, unruly forces of nature. They were usually depicted as drunken followers of Dionysus, except for Cheiron who was the tutor to several heroes..
Back in the 1500’s most people got married in June, because they took their ‘YEARLY’ bath in May. They still smelled pretty good by June. However, since they were starting to smell, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today, of carrying a bouquet when getting married :p
I thought this was the funniest thing. I am unsure of the validity, but still it is very humorous. So glad for indoor plumbing and brides that now bath !
HAPPY SUNDAY!:)
