Oh Janet, no, not again! Hmm, bad joke! Hey, this is what happens when an absent minded giant or gegant is too busy holding the basket and the bearer is concentrated on the road along the sea in Port Vell, Barcelona, which by the way, doesn't have any handrails! Well, in fact, the gegant is already dressed that way and this is another sample of traditions and folk humor...do you think this picture will be banned like J.Timberlake & J.Jackson - Superbowl 2004. Oops!

Nah! She doesn't resemble Janet J in any discernible way!!
ReplyDeleteLOL, keen observation Kate.
ReplyDeleteMy town needs something like this. This burg can be frumpy and conservative. It would be a good counterpoint to the Arch, maybe down the mall that runs from it into downtown. I shall contact the authorities.
ReplyDeleteon aurait envie de mettre la main au panier!!
ReplyDeleteDon't be afraid mon ami she doesn't bite. LOL
ReplyDeleteI am laughing at this photo, Carlos!
ReplyDeleteOn the Sunday we were in BCN, we were walking near the Museum of Art and just happened to walk by a courtyard filled with the gegantes. I knew they were big (gegantes, after all), but I never realized HOW BIG!! We took a photo of me standing next to one, and it is at least twice as tall as I am.
Why I bring that up is that I am so amazed that men can not only walk with them on their shoulders, but DANCE with them on their shoulders!! YIKES!!
Ooops, she did it again!
ReplyDeleteSmash hit, Carlos!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! If only there had been so much humour about JJ's "wardrobe malfunction" !
ReplyDeleteHmm, looks like the giantess's breasts need the giants attention.
