Paper Runway

IMG_6698

So — purely coincidentally — all the males in our family were dressed up in newspaper costumes on New Year’s Eve. Apparently, four out of six separate groups needed a Wildman to decorate their entry in the annual Antalya Turkey Fashion Show … modeled after the great ones in Paris.

J: Sultan Suleiman, with scimitar, bushy eyebrows, and puffy pants.

W: The Angel Gabriel (someone on his team found a “GA” and “BE” in newspaper type).

E: a lion that attacked and eventually was slain by a gladiator, with pointy claws and a mane.

H: Jesus, with a crown of thorns. Can you believe that? Like the rest of us had a chance.

The judges, however, were not swayed by H’s team’s dominating theology … and The Angel Gabriel carried the day.
