Wet t-shirt photo of fracas - first attempt.

Comment on this post…

I blame daddypapersurfer. You should too.

It all started when I won Kyle’s oneredpaperclip book, offered up by the good folks at fuelmyblog. Daddypapersurfer wanted the book and when Kyle chose my post to win it, I thought I’d be a kind soul and just give the book to poor Daddypapersurfer. I asked Sylvie to arrange it for me, and send the book on to him instead of to me.

No sooner had I done that, but he (that elder surfer of the paper) decided he would send a t-shirt to the lovely Sylvie… and me. Sure… you might think that was noble and grand of him, but his gift came with a catch. Sylvie and I were supposed to each have our lovely misters (in her case, the very Hasselhoff-resembling Kevin Dixie and in my case, the very anonymous looking Mr. Fracas) throw a bucket of water upon us and thus create a wet t-shirt. Of course, we were supposed to take a photo of said wet t-shirt and post it for all to see. 

Sylvie posted a photo of herself wearing the shirt, although there didn’t seem to be much water involved in the photo… and I, I had to wait until such shirt could make its way all the way to Canada.

Shortly before Christmas, a shirt arrived in the fraccy mailbox, and I wrote “take wet t-shirt photo” on my to-do list.

It’s been a challenge I do have to say. Never in all my days, did I expect to happen to me, what happened after I suited up and poised myself on the linoleum floor (easier to clean up than the carpet, silly) for the photo.

Now, it’s been no secret that fracas has many siblings. It’s also been no secret that many of them are female. In fact, it has become commonplace, for the elder surfer of paper to make references to a (gasp) coven. Indeed, both here at my own blog, and at his own… he has uttered that c-word. I can’t imagine why. I mean, I don’t recall ever posting any family pictures that would’ve tipped him off or anything like that…

I tell you, Mr. Fracas was quite upset at what happened next.

Wet t-shirt photo of fracasIt was an ordeal for me. One moment I was standing there, wearing a shirt only someone’s mother could look at (what does one call the mother of an elder papersurfer?) and the next minute I was just simply… gone. Nothing but a memory and a lingering echo of a cry echoing through the fraccy home…

“You cur-sed brat goat, look what you’ve done!, I’m melting!” “What a world! “Who would’ve thought a good little girl wrinkly old headcase like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness fracciness!”

I don’t know what happened next, and have no memory of it but as I understand it, Mr. Fracas had to call in Gypsy Fra-Kitty to use her special Gypsy powers to help get me back. Damned if he was going to clean up the mess, or finish baking the Christmas cookies. (Mr. Fracas is not known for his baking.) He did however, manage to get a photo of the disaster.

I’m calling it my wet t-shirt photo - first attempt.

You’d think I’d be upset at all this happening to me, but oddly, I am not. You see… when I returned, it seems I am about 7 pounds lighter than when I left. A remarkable thing for a woman during the holiday season… to actually lose weight.

The next attempt at a wet t-shirt photo will be posted soon. I don’t give up easily. I may though, decide to lose a few more pounds this way first.

It sure as heck beats giving up all those Christmas goodies.

Now - that wasn’t so difficult was it? I’ve never known a goddess take so long to get ready.

My powers are increasing everyday and the recent threat that I’ve discovered involving a sub-coven in the UK using the born again virgin, 70steen, holds no fear for me.
I am sorry that Mr. Fracas had to get involved with all this but I had no choice I’m afraid - I hope he likes the result.

BTW - that t-shirt is one of only two in the whole wide world - you might get a couple of dollars for it on Ebay - just a thought.

Why does it look as though there’s a finger coming out of my mouth and going up my nose? ……….. it would save time I suppose …….

lol. That’s the funniest thing I’ve read in a while. Fraccy melted. lol. And here, all along, I’ve been thinking I was the one that would melt. *whew*

70s - don’t forget the smudge sticks.

Comment by linda December 29, 2007 @ 11:18 am

oh what a whirrrr what a whirrrr

Frac? This post needs to go on your top ten list. wait. Do you have a top ten list?

Comment by bluepaintred December 29, 2007 @ 12:42 pm

Thanks Linda…. smudge sticks are added to the list … do they sell them in Waitrose?? :-)

Comment by 70steen December 29, 2007 @ 1:22 pm

Hey - there’s a game of virtual tiddley winks going on at Mr. Woppit’s!!!

Comment by Daddypapersurfer December 29, 2007 @ 1:31 pm

They might, 70s, but I like the sage ones. They rid the air of all the lingering ickiness. You know, from the non believers.

And if we burn the thing whole in a bucket, we can dance around it like that piccie that Fraccy posted.

Nice try, Daddy P, but it’s not the kind of winking you’re thinking. :)

Comment by linda December 29, 2007 @ 1:56 pm

I noted you in the ring dancing I was the one at the back .. we are so sazzy :-)

Comment by 70steen December 29, 2007 @ 3:34 pm

You all crack me up. DP with powers? Pshaw. ANd goddesses HAVE to take a long time to get ready. it’s a rule. Sylvie’s right. We need to teach you.

Dancing around a bucket Linda? Umm.. I kind of do that even when I’m not burning things. (I think it’s called a rum bucket) 70steen will make a fine addition to the witchy family.

blue - I took that dumb top posts thing down. Want to be in the coven? I hear the jewelery is great and 70s is right… we are sazzy.

Comment by fracas December 30, 2007 @ 3:45 am

’sazzy’ isn’t even a real word ……….. is it?

Comment by Daddypapersurfer December 30, 2007 @ 5:43 am

Oh, can the crap and send us pictures of you nude already! I’m getting a case of blue fingertips!

Comment by John December 30, 2007 @ 7:31 pm

Moi?

Oh ok… here’s an accidental shot that just happened when I didn’t mean for it to happen… yeah.. that’s right… I didn’t mean for it to happen..

“Accidental” Nudity

Hope that helps. I’d hate to be responsible for your finger suffering.

Where did your bra & panties go? Assuming you were wearing them of course…

Comment by Olga, the Traveling Bra December 30, 2007 @ 10:14 pm

PS: This is a GREAT post!!!!

Comment by Olga, the Traveling Bra December 30, 2007 @ 10:15 pm

Damn Olga.. the secret is out.

You see… I wasn’t wearing a bra because well, I thought that was the whole idea behind a wet t-shirt picture… and well, I hate panty lines and I really don’t like the whole butt floss aspect of a thong.

Gads. Now I’ll never hear the end of this from all those non-feminine fraccers.

I’m so embarassed…

Comment by fracas December 30, 2007 @ 11:48 pm

I was going to leave a Happy New Year comment but my eyes are watering now, I can’t see a thing.

Comment by Daddypapersurfer December 31, 2007 @ 7:15 am

OK - good…just wanted to make sure no bras were harmed during the photo shoot…not that I’d EVER think you’d allow that to happen Fraccy Dear….
I’ll bet you looked just AWESOME busting outta that wet TShirt…
Poor DaddyP…

Comment by Olga, the Traveling Bra December 31, 2007 @ 12:27 pm

Sympathy at last ……….. Olga is my kind of bra ……. very supportive
