Festive Bastard by graemestevens

Festive Bastard

No baubles, tinsel or wreaths - just my smiling dial to brighten your day. I do not "do" Christmas, I do not buy into the commercialism, the must haves, the I wants.
Having said that, I do have "ornaments" etched into my skin and I immensely enjoy looking like an evil bastard that would cut you up into very small pieces for no more than saying good morning.
We can all have our dreams.

Yeah, you'd scare me in a dark alley!

@lifepause 45 years and I still haven't mastered the art of the "smile"...
December 4th, 2015  
@graemestevens erroneous, I saw that wedding photo you posted a while back. And nice ink, very ornamental!
December 4th, 2015  
@kerosene LOL, shhhhh!!!
December 4th, 2015  
Away with your nonsense... you're a big pussy-cat!
December 5th, 2015  
Oooooh those come to me eyes!

@vignouse Meow
@shepherdmanswife Nope nope nope
December 5th, 2015  
Love the "ornaments".
December 5th, 2015  
Yep, quite the evil looking bastard!
December 5th, 2015  
Yeah the eyes... Honest selfie, a nice change from the pack
December 5th, 2015  
Such intense eyes!
December 5th, 2015  
Ho Ho Ho! Scaring me! Your daughter does Christmas I bet? Nice pic
December 5th, 2015  
Hmmm, Merry Christmas!
December 5th, 2015  
Sounds like NZer's voice.
December 5th, 2015  
@graemestevens But then, I suspect you haven't tried.
December 5th, 2015  
I do not want to "do" Christmas, either. A fav for the sentiment and the direct ferocity (in gaze only). Excellent shot.
December 5th, 2015  
"Good morning, Sir!" Oh I'm courageous this morning (still dark here in Switzerland, but Saturday at 7, looking at your pic the world is still ok). Great expression Sir and great ornaments you wear. Excellent capture of both.
December 5th, 2015  
A big fave for your glorious attempt at a smile, I hope you didn't pull a muscle.
Brilliant as always.
December 5th, 2015  
Would hate to see your face in scowling mode! :)
December 5th, 2015  
I would this as your Xmas card picture. With maybe you dangling a sprig of mistletoe.
December 5th, 2015  
@jack4john Heaven forbid that someone try and kiss me!
@dibzgreasley It gets even worse then ;)
@karlow75 I'm always frightened that I'll break something...
@mona65 Thank you very much - and have a happy day ;)
@rosiekerr Thank you very much indeed :)

@joysabin Thank you very much :)
@bill_fe It's how I roll...
@kategoring Thanks very much :)
@gardencat Why would I do that?
December 5th, 2015  
pam
well.....................your narrative i do find disconcerting and as always your b-w is wonderful
December 5th, 2015  
yeh yeh we believe you :)
December 5th, 2015  
You don't LOOK festive...

See now, if you'd hung ornaments from your ears it would be a different story.
December 5th, 2015  
Thanks for brightening my day, Graeme! ;)
December 5th, 2015  
@juliedduncan You're welcome
@ahleena That is never going to happen.
@annied Whatever
@timewalker Thanks very much, on both counts :)
December 5th, 2015  
Totally evil looking! But a metaphor for how I feel in the morning!
December 5th, 2015  
@taffy I always look this way...any time of day
December 5th, 2015  
They are actually really cool, esp. the left one.
December 5th, 2015  
Love the ink and those tantalizing eyes, hA!:)
December 5th, 2015  
@joemuli Thanks very much - tantalising huh?
@overalvandaan Thank you very much :)
December 6th, 2015  
Are you trying to be intimidating??
December 6th, 2015  
@harbie This is my happy face...
December 6th, 2015  
Haha you do look so festive
December 6th, 2015  
@tracelee Bah bloody humbug ;)
December 6th, 2015  
Gosh you are great at intense. Me, I specialize in dorky. Must try intense sometime:).
December 6th, 2015  
@amandal Maybe I should try dorky...or not ;)
December 6th, 2015  
@graemestevens triple dog dare you...intensely dorky.
December 6th, 2015  
@amandal I may even give it a go later this week, since you've asked so nicely ;)
December 6th, 2015  
If you put a green tint on this, you'd make a perfect Grinch! LOL!
December 7th, 2015  
@homeschoolmom Funnily enough it's not the first time someone has said that to me ;)
December 7th, 2015  
Somehow this photo and your description makes me think of that poster where a cat looks into a mirror and sees a ferocious lion!! ;-)))) Very impressive body ornaments, and if looks could kill that stare would do it!! Good to see your photos again, Graeme!
December 17th, 2015  
@panthora Thanks very much, good to see you back in these here parts as well
