Heads were turning at 7th and Montana this morning as a Curious Stick Figure -- a woman balancing what appeared to be a large tree branch across her shoulders -- made the scene. "Good Lord," I said to Ace Photographer Kovar as the Stick Figure made her way across 7th Street, "The Loons are Branching Out!" But this was no ordinary bird: She was dressed like an Ancient Chinese Water Carrier, complete with a Floppy Straw Hat and a Long, Black Braid running down her back. All that was missing were the water buckets on either side of her stick ... and a rickshaw in case she got tired. Rumor has it she was heading to the Palisades, where she's building a nest overlooking the Pacific ...!
she could be the new branch manager.
ReplyDeleteIs it some sort of strange walking stick? One where you don't actually put it on the ground?
ReplyDeleteI'm stumped. [snicker]

Try to grab the pea Grasshopper!
ReplyDeletePerhaps on the way to play hangman :o)
ReplyDeleteWonder if the braid is real?
ReplyDeleteMaybe she's divining for water? But then she'd have had two prongs
