Sunday Postcard - Oriental

Tongue in cheek? Of course not. This is a new twist on the old, old story about the girl who longed to be a Geisha but whose feet were too big.
The hopeful Geisha girl and bird are by Alana McCarthy at SBG. The feet are Ozstuffe Originales.

    I scrolled down slowly and thought "how beautiful", then I got to the feet and nearly fell off my chair laughing! Only you, Marie. Only you!

    I needed a good laugh today and you provided it. Before I read about the feet, I was stunned when I saw them. What a hoot! Ozstuffe Originales...Hmmm....! Excellent, again, Marie! Hugs, Gayle (who spent the afternoon in the sun...but you don't want to hear about that do you?)

    Oh my those are some feet! I always found it amazing ( and cruel) what was done to young women's feet for the status of so called beauty.

    I am amazed at all the cleverness this theme brought out. I have read about foot binding and it was so terrible but this postcard is fab!

    I know it's not very lady like but I just had the biggest belly laugh at this one. I think hubby thought I'd finally gone mad. Your sense of humour Marie is wonderful.
