This is one of my favorite Would You Place Children photos! It seems too perfect to not have been staged, yet I like to imagine this is just how Julie and Steven spent every Saturday morning once upon a time, relaxing on the hood of a neighbor's truck in curlers, Judas Priest t-shirts and cans of Blatz. How to Play: What's the real story here? Post your guess as a comment to this post. Julie will have to judge this one-- whoever is closest wins that which one ought to drink at breakfast time: a 12 ounce package of Pura Vida's Ethiopian Sidamo coffee! Winner announced whenever Julie decides!
I think this is actually pretty close to the truth. Their frig has only Blatz in it, with a few old containers of grits and leftover KFC.
ReplyDeleteOf course, now that they're in LA, they are much better at image control.
Beer makes a shiny coat for a pup...everyone knows.
ReplyDeleteYou mean all dogs don't drink beer....or maybe it is all WI dogs drink beer :)
ReplyDeleteMr. Redneck Rugged Handsome meets, greets, beds, and weds Judy Garland and her little dog, Toto.
ReplyDeleteWow - I'm coarse today!
So far, Meghan is closest.
ReplyDeleteLoving it!
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha..ya think?
ReplyDeleteThe real story, the real story...Steven was just a hard-working, blue collar man who loved his truck, his dog, his beer and his hair bands - then one night while hanging out at his local bar playing in the dart league this painted vixen spotted him through an atmospheric layer of smoke and dizzy conversations. She stood up and made a direct line towards him - with only her hips slightly swaying side-to-side from her determined trajectory to a good time - the rest of the night was but a blur. Next morning he woke up to find his formerly loyal dog curled against her back, her hair in curlers and what smelled like coffee brewing...to which he belched loudly with content and they lived happily ever after on cereal-based casseroles, Three's Company reruns and beer - oh and whiskey from time-to-time.
ReplyDeleteI just shot champagne through my nose! Cereal-based casseroles!
ReplyDeleteI am finally "on" this conference call, so now I can focus on this blog shower ;)
ReplyDeleteYou can't tell by the picture, but the truck is moving. Julie was homecoming queen and they are in a parade back in high school. Bruce Springsteen was blasting from the truck.
ReplyDeleteI definitely can't come up with anything as good as filoli's story! Thanks for a great laugh.
ReplyDeleteoh my, Filoli, your story CRACKS ME UP!
ReplyDeletenothing better here -Themia
What an amazing photo...has to be for a photo shoot or commercial or film. It's just too beautiful!
ReplyDeletei've got my paper plate in hand. where can I fill it up with some cereal based casserole? do you have any green jello?
ReplyDeleteheather
yes, but only with fruit in it - and whip cream to top it off - that way it covers at least 2-3 food groups
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure if it is green it counts as a vegetable...
ReplyDeleteWho wins this one Julie?
ReplyDeleteThe story behind the picture- Warning- Not at all p.c.
ReplyDeleteSteven and I staged a photo in order to create a, “Dreaming of a White Trash Christmas,” Christmas card. How very highbrow eh? The worst part was that Steven sent one to his non-English speaking Grandma in Germany. She thought that was how I always dressed, and behaved. Yep, a great first impression. It was our first Christmas together, and that was our truck, and that was our sweet girl Lummi, (who would never turn down a cold one). My best friend, Heather Foster, the painter, took the photo.
I have to declare Meghan as the winner, with Filoli a VERY close second. Meghan’s story mirrors ours, particularly in the order, and rapidness of our, er, coming together, as it were.
I agree "meets, greets, beds, and weds" is simply perfection!
