PECULIAR HOLDING DOUBLE-THING SPECIAL: Trees and chairs
We’ve had a couple of extremely odd product holding scenarios emailed in recently, both interesting in their own little ways. So we’ve combined them into one update, so it feels a bit special and looks like we’ve put in the same amount of effort as we used to in the old days.
This one was sent in by “Richard”. The gardening web site (SCROLL DOWN) features this lady standing beside trees at the bottom of every page, to help viewers get an idea of the height of trees. They’re all about the same. We can only conclude the man in charge really likes looking at this lady and this was the best excuse he could come up with to spend a whole day staring at her and wondering if she eats properly or is just very active.
And this is an arty chair shoot, sent in by “Grill” who we used to sit next to in depressing office confinement a few years ago. It’s the Mec Stool by Sebastian Jansson, which is “A highly personal though simple and rigid plywood structure, with a playful look” if that makes any sense to you.

Wait, that’s a stool? So what have I been flushing down the toilet all these years then?

Given that the purpose of a seat is to be sat upon, those photos of people failing to sit are not particularly persuasive…

I must be getting old. Previously a picture of an emaciated, naked model, legs akimbo with a giant letter H embedded in her fanny would have peaked my interest but now… well it makes me feel kind of icky.
Please don’t do that again.

That first lady seems to get taller when she’s holding the bigger plant. Possibly been stretched on some mediaeval torture device? If so, that’s some dedication to holding.

Oh, I miss those days of sitting next to you and not saying anything. Two years of comfortable silence, wasn’t it?

It was very comfortable. I was doing about one hour of “work” a week by that point and was pretty much only there in body.

I’d do the girl with the trees but only if she promises not to bite at all. Under any circumstances.

Someone send Jebediah a sheet of Jody Barton stickers. Put it on my tab.

I am Jody Barton… sorry…

The top left chair pic shows substantial amounts of thick black curly hair flowing from the young lady’s nipple area. Can she not pluck or is she merely mauling a tiny ornamental dog?
