A friend says:
[A well-known auction house] have just sent me a catalogue for their December fashion auction (!). It includes a totally fetching 18th c Italian Episcopal breeches/waistcoat ensemble. Maybe someone will buy it for B-- D-----?
At £1,000 - £2,000 ($1,604 - $3,208) the outfit seems a bargain to me. Remember, although Thanksgiving has not yet arrived, Christmas is just around the corner. For B-- D----- or your own favorite bishop?
You know who I think could really ROCK this? +Mary Glasspool!
ReplyDeleteJCF, give it to Mary for Christmas. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI was going to say Jonathan would look rather fetching in it, but now that Mary Glasspool has been mentioned I feel that perhaps I shouldn't.
ReplyDeleteOh what the heck, Cathy, let's pool our resources and bid on the vestments for Jonathan for Christmas and make him an instant bishop. We're two to one against JCF. Fetching for the fetching.
ReplyDeleteFetching for the fetching
ReplyDeleteExactly!! :-) Let's do it Mimi. Who knows, JCF might agree with our plan anyway!
Jonathan deserves to be an instant bishop and would look simply resplendent in that outfit, don't you think?
He would, he would. And I could draw another cartoon of Jonathan Hamster in the fetching breeches and waistcoat.
ReplyDeleteoh Mimi, I think you have to do that!! What fun. (Or you could get Jonathan to Photoshop the hamster head and feet onto that outfit ... and then you could add a halo? Or mitre? Or thundercloud?? ...)
ReplyDeleteCathy, do you realize that if Jonathan ever reads this thread, you and I are dead women?
ReplyDeleteNo! He wouldn't mind. He said he loved your drawing, did you read that comment? Bishop Jonathan Hamster! You could write scathing letters under that pseudonym to Rowan Williams.
ReplyDeleteHe could be Jonathan Philistine Hamster. I always had the thought in the back of my mind that the P in Jonathan's name was for Philistine and his mother had named him Jonathan Philistine Hagger because she liked the book Jonathan Livingstone Seagull.
ReplyDeleteCathy, now you're in for it. You've really gone too far. Your death will be slow and painful.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, don't say that Mimi, or I may have to kill him first :-)
