Sometimes a Toga is Necessary

An MFA = Mandatory Toga
%%%%%%%
(Elder Patton, this isn't horrid but use your own discretion. The word naked may be appearing a few times.)
%%%%%%%%

Sometimes it's great having a talented husband and sometimes it just causes random naked people to show up in your home.
Okay, maybe not random and definitely not in the flesh (thank goodness), but let's just say way more nakedness than I am  typically accustomed to.
Right now The Beloved is in the middle of his figure drawing class -
Lovely. 
-Figure drawing... hmmm... a little misleading and too innocent sounding. -
So, for all of you artsy fartsy people who think the body is beautiful, more power to you, but one small reminder: the word FARTSY is included in your character description.  Most people don't like fartsy or.... nudes. Shoot. Sorry about that.
I must admit, when I found out that The Beloved had to purchase a $300 statue of a naked woman for his class my mature side thought - no problem. But when the statue arrived, being taller than my two year old and having zero resemblance to the chubby hairy nudes I'd seen in previous art classes, I was a little dismayed.
She's really naked, like current nakedness, not centuries ago nakedness. There's a difference. Who knew? :)
Well my domesticness got the best of me and I made this chilly little darling her very own toga. And I think she feels so much better about herself.


The Beloved's art studio really is pretty cool and his class has consisted of more than just the clothing impaired.


 
But be warned, I have no idea what we're going to do with this statue once the semester is over... so you'd better watch out, you'd better not cry, you'd better not pout I'm telling you why...
I have a naked statue.
And I'm not afraid to hand it over.

I needed this great laugh today! You are indeed one of the most creative people I know. I think it should go in your parents garage - they wouldn't find it for years. Just kidding. I think your dad could think of something creative to do with it at Halloween time. Thanks for the mini vacation. You are indeed a joy and a marvel!

WHITE ELEPHANT! But you can't bring it my party because I would end up with it! You could have the beloved paint some clothes on it and give it away as a precious present...

Isn't Jed already a master artist? I thought he already knew how to draw naked woman. I have proof hanging above my bed. Well ok she's only half naked. haha.

I think you should track down the gigantic "B" that you met the other week and secretly put it in her yard!!! It is obvious to me she has no children and never will have children visit her. so no worries in "sharing" the "art" with her.

Love the toga and nude statue story, but did you celebrate something normal like Halloween? Just asking!
