Pretty and Not-so-pretty Things

Just doing a little housekeeping before going to lunch. First, last pictures from the Bull Run: the ethereal cirrus clouds yesterday morning. They looked as chill and sharp as the air around us.Lovely.And second: here's "Count Dooku" from the George Lucas "Star Wars the Clone Wars" series, a big fave of my little Peeper. He's an evil Dark Lord of the Sith, in case you're not familiar with the trope.And here's me. Now, tell me honestly: do you think I look like an evil Sith Lord?'Cause my kid does. And if I do, is that a bad thing?

I dunno Chief, I think it's the red in your eyes that gives you that aura of creepiness...of course, that's all because of the nature of the camera flash.
Still, throw a robe on, a cowl, and lightsaber and you'll have the gestures down to a T.

"do you think I look like an evil Sith Lord?"

Non-- you look very benevolent, m'lord.

Lisa: Only because I'm trying to seduce the lovely Jedi into the arms of Evil. We're cunning, us Sith Lords. And we bring you flowers.

If there are flowers, I may go willingly.

FDChief said...

You see how cunning we are...

You should have seen what happened when my husband innocently put on an Obama mask that his nephew gave him at Christmas. The munchkin went ballistic. I thought she was going to bust an artery. Took me about 20 minutes to calm her down.
We don't do costumes around here anymore, needless to say.

WD: Yike! Poor little one - was she afraid of the "stranger" or did she think that "he" had done something to Daddy?

Good call on the masks, tho...
