Anatomy of a Freak by graemestevens

Anatomy of a Freak

Firstly, before you all start up with your girlish blushing, this is for the Fiveplustwo "Anatomy" challenge.
Secondly, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise profusely for this shot and any related nightmares, flushing, blushing and therapy.
Thirdly, I may even work up to a 'serious' shot at some point in the next few weeks.
Finally, you really have to feel sorry for that sheep skull. Poor thing.
I really like the shoes...

You'll be getting two bills from me - first, for the ruptured esophagus; second, for the carpet cleaning. Nice Docs, though! ;)
October 29th, 2014  
Well a skull for a cod piece I've seen it all now but those shoes wow just wow I love em
October 29th, 2014  
Crazy, but crazy good!
October 29th, 2014  
I'm focused on the shoes - yup, cool shoes (she says staring fixedly at the floor).....
October 29th, 2014  
Oh my, love the shoes. You crack me up, man. You may just be crazier than me. fav!
October 29th, 2014  
Dammit Graeme, my eyes are bleeding.
October 29th, 2014  
Ummmm...Yep I'm with all the shoe lovers and also SO loving the socks!!!! Selfie + anatomy...well played!
October 29th, 2014  
OMG, how do you think these things up?! I too love the shoes!
October 29th, 2014  
@kt8ird Just keep looking down, you'll be fine...
@juliedduncan Sorry about that...I'm sure you'll recover. At some point...
@scolgs Something that I thought I'd never say...having a skull nestled in ones crotch in NOT comfortable ;)
@ukandie1 Thanks very much - crazy is how I roll...
@deak68 Keep looking down, whatever you do...
@amandal Thanks very much :)
@bill_fe I haven't stopped laughing yet...need some optrex?
@skjgraphics Who knew there was such a widespread Shoe Appreciation Society on here? ;)
October 29th, 2014  
@888rachel To be honest, I have absolutely no idea...it just pops into me head. I may have to start selling shoe viewing tickets at this rate. Never before have so many people looked down so quickly ;)
October 29th, 2014  
You're so weird..in a good way I think (I hope, haha) Great shoes! :-P
October 29th, 2014  
No I won't be fine.
October 29th, 2014  
OH MY!!! you just made my whole day !!! I seen this picture and laughed so very hard!! I love the imagination you used in this..... still chuckling a bit !!! FAV!!
October 29th, 2014  
I am almost always at a loss for words but in a good way ... interesting use of selective coloring....and the skull ....
October 29th, 2014  
@graemestevens So in your photo of your lovely spawn - remember saying you had a rocking chair and gun because of well boys.......somehow I bet if you used this picture....it might well be just as effective if not more so......
October 29th, 2014  
@kt8ird Oh dear...
@angeliekevl Ummm...thank you? ;)
@lisamarie5 Pleased to be of assistance :)
@aecasey Thank you very much...I think ;)
@deak68 I think you might be right there. I'll try it and let you know :))
October 29th, 2014  
oh no...there are no other words! *shaking my head in amazement (not the good kind) and disbelief* Good thing I was on the phone with my bestie...she had to sign in to see for herself! We both got a laugh. Thank you for that! :)
October 29th, 2014  
Having seen and enjoyed many of your posts, I am surprised that you put the 'codpiece' on upside down!

October 29th, 2014  
Sue
Oh Graeme, you are crazy! And I think I may in in therapy for a while :P
October 29th, 2014  
@redpants Incorrigably insane and I'm so sorry to hear that :))
@ziggy75 It seemed to be most comfortable that way...maybe next time...
@voiceprintz Pleased to be of assistance...realistically, I cannot be held accountable. Someone said anatomy and I leapt into the fray without a second thought!
October 29th, 2014  
I like the shoes too! Hmmmm....I hope the sheep skull isn't going on a coffee table!
October 29th, 2014  
why?
October 29th, 2014  
I knew this had to be yours before I even clicked on it, LOL! Very odd!
October 29th, 2014  
but you are covering everything up.....go wild we said! ( within the laws of 365 prudery)
October 29th, 2014  
btw, i found THE.BEST.QUOTE for you... do you read Terry Pratchett at all?
October 29th, 2014  
Strange....very strange!
October 29th, 2014  
I love your sense of humor! Your commentary had me laughing out loud! You are quite creative as well! :)
October 29th, 2014  
@harbie Thanks, and the skull will not be going on a coffee table. Not after this anyway...
@northy Ah, but why not? And yes, I do read Terry Pratchett...a lot :)
@rangerxenos I'm an odd little man ;)
@kali66 I know you said go wild but there are there some wild places that no one needs to go to...
@tabarlett I am, at best, peculiar
@luvmynynix Thanks very much indeed :)
October 29th, 2014  
Super cool shoes and.... gas mask! :) Skipping on down past the other stuff. Never run for political office (in case this was something that was on your bucket list).
October 29th, 2014  
@rosiekerr The Shoe Appreciation Society strikes again ;) I had no plans to run for office but I may make this my poster when I do...
October 29th, 2014  
Sam
LOL :)
October 29th, 2014  
@gigiflower I know!!!
October 29th, 2014  
Super creative, love the pop of color! How do you get the black background so black? Do you have a lighting studio set up in your house?
October 29th, 2014  
I need therapy!
October 29th, 2014  
1. I do feel sorry for that poor skull
2. I love the shoes
3. No blushing from me, I'm a big girl!
Great shot
October 29th, 2014  
I nearly feel off my chair laughing - such a worry you are!!
October 29th, 2014  
As I have mentioned previously I often show your images to my 14 year old daughter .... this practice may have to stop! Great shot. Viewed on my ipad and YES I admit to doing the whole 'enlarge' thing ... on the shoes ;-)
October 29th, 2014  
Frankly, I am at a loss for words for a change....and, no, I don't particularly care much for those shoes! Back where I come from they would have used a fig leaf, but maybe skulls are easier to come by at your parts of the world. This image will be forever seared in my memory, and nothing I see this Halloween will top this!
October 29th, 2014  
I'm speechless, and for someone coming from Ireland, that's a serious condition. Therapy REbeckons and I thought I'd put it all behind me!
October 29th, 2014  
@ceilidh I'm so sorry to have inflicted myself upon you...
@panthora At least, someone who doesn't belong to the Shoe Appreciation Society! I had no fig leafs to hand sorry...
@motherjane Ah...I do apologise unreservedly. Normal service will resume tomorrow.
@brigette By all accounts your reaction was not isolated...
@dibzgreasley Thank you very much - I'm pleased you can cope so well ;)
@orangecrush So do I!!!
@jess1204 Thanks very much - I'm just in a darkened room with a black back drop and then a bit of twiddling in Lightroom.
October 29th, 2014  
Still laughing! You have made my day! Does that make me strange? Lol!
October 29th, 2014  
Ok, very powerful image made humorous by the colour and nature of the slippers. Like it!
October 29th, 2014  
@chippy1402 Thanks very much :)
@pamknowler No stranger than I!
October 29th, 2014  
SPEECHLESS ! love the shoes
October 29th, 2014  
I just spat out my coffee laughing out loud, you've got such a great imagination! And what if the doorbell now rings :-)
You can also tag it theme-absurdism.
October 29th, 2014  
I will get back to you
October 29th, 2014  
Hmmm still thinking - but the use of selective colouring was pure genius - for some it obviously consumed their attention -for others - like me - they were the starting point for a most intriguing and unusual journey - I think it would hurt to have a cricket ball strike that skull where it sits - lucky it wasn't a cat or rat skull ypu found - bahahaha
October 29th, 2014  
great shoes! haha!
October 29th, 2014  
To begin with I thought you had used a banana..... Then realised it was the skull.... Then saw the gas mask, then the shoes..... Just saying my viewing order.
October 29th, 2014  
@pinkpaintpot You people and your fixation with my footwear! ;)
@overalvandaan I hope you didn't make too much of a mess...and I've tagged it, thanks :)
@annied A most intriguing and unusual journey...now that I like ;)
@andrewkru Thanks, they're very comfortable too...
@newbank Good lord, and they call me a pervert!
October 29th, 2014  
I must say, I am trying to avoid eye contact. At least when I saw it on the TP I knew exactly who it was. Still an awesome shot. And the shoes are just awesome too.
October 29th, 2014  
@graemestevens what else should we look at? Almost spoilt my breakfast
October 29th, 2014  
Nice shoes
October 29th, 2014  
Sue
Hats off to you! a brilliant shot....erm was this the intended purpose for the sheep's skull in the beginning? Where you cold?
October 29th, 2014  
I know...... I'm sorry..... I shall try to deep clean my mind.....
October 29th, 2014  
Yes, you look very cold! And, hairy!
October 29th, 2014  
@karlow75 Thanks very much...and I'm not making eye contact with anyone
@pinkpaintpot I dead to think!
@deliad Thanks, they're very comfortable too
@sioux Thanks very much - I hadn't even thought if this shot when I got the skull. Not particularly cold but also not in the mood to show of my 'moobs' either
@newbank Good luck with that...
@panthora I do seem to have hairy legs...maybe I could shave a pattern in them
October 29th, 2014  
@graemestevens thought you might
October 29th, 2014  
@newbank love your viewing order haha
October 29th, 2014  
@graemestevens i hope you meant dread!
October 29th, 2014  
American Horror Story just found another freak! You seriously have a twisted and warped imagination but you are like a train wreck ... I can't stop looking! I love your mind and your photos!!!
October 29th, 2014  
Aha, creative for the challenge :)
October 29th, 2014  
@annied to be honest I think everyone else is lying claiming they look at the shoes first.....
October 29th, 2014  
Brought some bleach at the supermarket just now....
October 29th, 2014  
@newbank well I did because the colour caught my eye but then...... @graemestevens knows what happened next lol
October 29th, 2014  
dont apologize, take credit from it. i love the shoes, nice takenin the theme challenge. 👍
October 29th, 2014  
how do you think of these things??!!
October 29th, 2014  
i like it very cool!!!
October 29th, 2014  
@pinkpaintpot I think I did... ;)
@lbluejaye8 Thank you very much...I think ;)
@hermann That's a very diplomatic way of putting it ;)
@newbank @annied You're all perverts. I'm shocked. Carry on.
@gavincci Thanks very much, and for the follow
@blueberry1222 I have no idea....they just pop into my head!
@pittcj17 Thanks very much :)
October 29th, 2014  
another beautiful flower.... another beautiful bird....... 365 has a lot of those. Then WOW - there's you and your wonderful absurdism - big FAV
October 29th, 2014  
Freakin' cool :)
October 29th, 2014  
@jocasta Thanks very much :)
@joemuli Thank you kindly
October 29th, 2014  
Awesome.....pure brilliancy!
October 29th, 2014  
You are brilliant and brave, to execute your idea and it works, Amazing! The selected colour works fantastically! Well done!
October 29th, 2014  
@susale Thanks very much :)
@ounooi thanks very much - not sure that I'd call it bravery...maybe idiocy ;)
October 29th, 2014  
BAHHAAAAAHHAAAAA. Big Fav.
October 29th, 2014  
Hahaha..you had me at shoes! I find u very brave! :). Flippin...cool!
October 29th, 2014  
That is gross.
October 29th, 2014  
I'm not sure if the United Kingdom is ready for this advert of their flag on your shoes!! Might be words in Parliament in the subject!
I am speechless & I hope that isn't that smelly rotten sheets head out of the ground.......wouldn't put it past you...if I was your family I would lock you out! Hilarious !
October 29th, 2014  
Personally, the flag slippers make the shot perfect.
October 29th, 2014  
There could be some good music to go with this shot! Sort of thundery with lots of organ music!
October 29th, 2014  
Love the shoes
October 29th, 2014  
@rachelwithey Thanks very much, they're very comfortable too...
@maggiemae There could be...maybe...
@taffy It was getting dressed and getting rid of the skull that did it for me, but thanks :)
@happypat It's definitely not that she eps head...not even I would go that far!
@terryliv My thoughts exactly
@nanderson Thanks very much - not sure whether its bravery or insanity! @trishaclancy Thanks very much indeed :)
October 29th, 2014  
@graemestevens pervert how dare you!!!!!! how dare you tell everyone!
October 30th, 2014  
@annied I'd apologise if I cared ;)
October 30th, 2014  
@graemestevens apology ha like I expected one of those ;-)
October 30th, 2014  
@annied Thank god for that. You weren't getting one!
October 30th, 2014  
I said out loud, "What the hell is he wearing? Oh, dear God, is that... um....yup, a sheep skull and nothing else."
You are a very brave man. Kudos.
October 30th, 2014  
@eyeamlisa Brave or insane...one of the two ;)
October 30th, 2014  
Cool shot...like the ummmm shoes!
October 30th, 2014  
@leestevo Thanks very much. Just keep looking down ;)
October 30th, 2014  
so you took the advice of going wild?
October 30th, 2014  
@yaorenliu it would have been rude not to...
October 30th, 2014  
Oh how I love your posts :-) They always make me laugh and this is no exception lol You have a wonderful sense of humor no matter how macabre it is, great shot :-)
October 30th, 2014  
@leanne333 Thanks very much...next time I'll use photoshop and go for muscular I think...
October 30th, 2014  
@graemestevens He he he Ooooo I look forward to that. PS is so much fun for that sort of thing :-D
October 30th, 2014

October 31st, 2014  
Love the shoes...
October 31st, 2014  
@cathrinemitch Thanks very much
October 31st, 2014  
@graemestevens I'm guessing not under that sheep skull
October 31st, 2014  
@adayinmallacoota Definitely not!
October 31st, 2014  
nice legs! (I was going to say I love the shoes, but since everyone seems to be commenting on them, I figured I'd comment on something else)
November 2nd, 2014  
@jsw0109 Stick with the shoes, keep looking down...
November 2nd, 2014  
November 2nd, 2014  
Lee
Very, i'd say imaginative, clever, or thought provoking, but I've decided on brilliant and probably brave. I couldn't do this.
November 2nd, 2014  
@gamelee Thanks very much - I'm still having doubts about whether I should have done this!
