It seems that along on Damien Hirst artistic expression, Boy 2 has also 'redecorated' the original egg carton frame.

Hopefully, the third time will be a charm. I have often thought a lot of modern art was a tease with the 'artists' laughing all the way to the bank. Are you sure that this isn't a more elaborate form of a tease for which your school account will be charged? I can imagine the arts teachers chortling into their flutes of Dom Perignon at morning tea at the thought of all those mums frantically boiling eggs ten minutes after they should have left for school. Love your new piccies. I often feel my brows lifting when I hear the school mums here talking about their tummy tucks, brow lifts etc. Given your stance against 'getting work done' you would be scandalised!!

Thanks for being so patient with me, I got so backdrawn I even missed some blighty posts - that is the first time ever for me. Started to respond to boy 2 art and ...... oh bother, no dictionary here in bed, super bullshit big words enabling me to show off with crazy academic sounding artspeak is impossible for me without a) stealing it from an art review, b) making my pololo write it for me, o r c) spending mangy hours combing the dictionary. <br />Also the Brain is on maximum 10% power (sad, because 100% hardly sets the world on fire) at the moment so saving myself for your next post.<br />Lou<br />xxxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419860268577817026.post-85771571952978003062011-04-09T08:16:28.124+01:002011-04-09T08:16:28.124+01:00Hello dear!

He knows the words to lots of those depressing songs, old Morissey is not exactly Mr Sunshine is he? (last night I dreamt someone loved me, drone , drone etc etc heavens knows I'm miserable now, drone drone). But I do like the songs, they are funny and quirky, and Mr B can hold forth at length at the superior guitar and songwriting skills of Johnny Marr - without whom The Smiths would have been nothing ...<br /><br />The Moerks - I use mainly lard, or sometimes WD40, xxBlightyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567627987700387034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419860268577817026.post-13203787582634390452011-04-08T12:11:35.295+01:002011-04-08T12:11:35.295+01:00Alison, loved your comment!

Sonshine has a very large rabbit that comes everywhere with us and he is, frankly, grubby. The rabbit, that is. I am afraid to wash him in case he loses his essential 'Big Bunniness'. Or an eye.<br /><br />The egg is a superior bit of post-modern expressionism whereby Cash Centre 2 has expressed his angst about Easter and the commercialisation of this religious event. By leaving his egg au natural, he shows us that we have lost touch with our land, our ancestry and our decorating pens.<br /><br />*David Starkey face*<br /><br />Ali xxxAlison Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565962059926865121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419860268577817026.post-77864735360979567392011-04-08T11:18:29.324+01:002011-04-08T11:18:29.324+01:00Oh dear Blights, why was the egg not decorated?
