animals (people dressed up)

today our friend was a parrot. i didn’t try to speak to him like last time though.
his boss probably greated him excitedly that morning and announced “what we’ve been missing is colour. today you’re going to be a parrot”.

the dressed up animal advertising is back outside the glasses shop on tottenham court road.
in the name of research i approach the animal (frog or dinosaur?) to ask if it was always the same person inside the array of animals we’ve seen in recent months.
a foreign voice said “speak slowerlier pleece”
i repeated myself slowerlier to pleece him.
he paused then said “sorry, i do not undertant”.
i wonder if he understood what the job entailed when he took it ?

now with added apron

it just gets better and better. the costumes get more elaborate but the same broken spirit remains within them.
i’ve even started a new category for this.

the animal invasion of tottenham court road just keeps on getting better and better.
have they reached the magic formula by choosing a bear rather than their previous animals ? (or is it a tiger/lion – i’m no good at animals ?)

this bear’s got attitude. and wasn’t bothered who knew it

the monkey and the rabbit obviously didn’t work out. but this chap looks like he’s got a can of beer in his hand.
perhaps it’s cider. or a jar of honey.

so, it didn’t work out with the monkey. people don’t trust them you see. and what’s a monkey got to do with an glasses and contact lenses anyway ?
“don’t worry about last week’s sales, i’ve got a much better plan”
“are you sure ? that monkey thing was rubbish”
“absolutely. trust me. this can’t go wrong”
“ok, what you got for me ?”
“a rabbit dressed up as a rabbit”
“brilliant”
